Descriptive Index of Sections

Tuesday April 15, 2008

Introduction:

What is a "Sci-Phi Pilot"? This section deals with many of the core philosophies ("rules of the sky") behind the concepts explored in these pages. The rules are both harsh and gentle; from seemingly punitive to self-redeeming. They stem from an observation of the temptations of human nature: Our weaknesses and strengths; our freedoms and barriers. They are written not as a suggestion for "followers", but as a guide to understanding the perspective taken that led to the theories themselves. It is strongly advised to read these rules as if the authors' personal philosophy and not fact.

A Language of Metaphors:

Want to create an endless supply of metaphors? Have you ever had an idea that you just can't grasp or convey to others? "A Language of Metaphors" details the metaphor from the universal perspective of the dimensions, suggesting that they may be key to the learning process itself - all the way to the very layout of neurons in the brain - even the layout of the codons in the DNA. Don't let this intimidate you, though - not only does this section intend to show you what you've always known, it will also help train you to become a Sci-Phi Pilot!

The Genetics of Alphabet Soup:

Ever play with your food as a child? Get ready to relive those moments while learning a new perspective of the DNA! These pages prepare the reader for concepts examined in later sections dealing with the DNA from an "authors" perspective. If you think that genetics is a subject you cannot learn, this section will help to change your mind.

Nanosemaphore:

Take four similar molecules and replace them with four basic flag-waving symbols of semaphore and you get "Nanosemaphore" (nanotechnology and semaphore). This section carries the reader through a theory suggesting that the DNA is actually written in binary fractals (binary, the language of computers; fractals, or "fractional dimensions", a type of mathematical formula). These pages will gently guide the reader through the theory, whether fully trained in these areas or just a beginner.

Inherent Programming

Main

 

This theory is the meeting point of Nanosemaphore and The Fractal Chemist. "Software equals hardware" from this perspective, with programs being written by the laws of nature and expressed by the dimensions of our universe.

Knowgramming:

This complementary theory to "A Language of Metaphors" introduces the reader to a novel approach to data storage and retrieval in both brain and computer. In knowgramming (from know and programming), the data is the address in which it is found. In a universe of several dimensions, each distinguishably different "fact" can be attributed to differences in dimensional measures: This theory suggests that this principle may be key to the logical and storage structure of the brain, as well as a means of achieving peer-type artificial intelligence (ie: compatible with our own). If you've ever wondered why you wonder "why ?" - read this section!!

The Fractal Chemist:

The mathematics of fractals meets the physical realm of chemistry in this theory about the very meaning of "life". Chunks of one fractal formula interact with chunks of others to form the whole ecosystems we know and love. In this model, life evolves through compatibilities between chemical  fractals or through the prospects of new materials and energy sources; bacteria and viruses become the negotiators between lifeforms. Sugars become the currency in a system made complete with "currency exchange profiteers". Venture into this section for a joy-ride of the imagination!

Pilots Prose:

As the Sci-Phi Pilot glided the realm of thought, he took with him a journal. These snippets of prose of various kinds take the reader on a journey of life through his eyes.  From dark and  introspective to playful, Pilots Prose covers the gamut of the Sci-Phi Pilot's emotions.

Photos:

Through the window of life, too much is seen to be kept to oneself. This section offers a combination of photos and text that are sure to please. Each photo is described metaphorically, demonstrating clearly that "a picture is worth a thousand principles" !!

About This Site

This website is dedicated to the proposal that the metaphorical relationships drawn between any two disciplines are, in fact, universal, being isomorphic mathematical derivations of the Unified Field Theory. Further, that this symmetric aspect of metaphor is extrapolatable both linearly and laterally, thus may be harnessed to mathematically predict missing knowledge and invention in all other disciplines: an interdisciplinary Rosetta stone of universal scope.
