Information is the key - Consciousness is the door

Reading:


A traveling companion

"... I swallowed his compliment with some pleasure and began to blow on the hot tea, annoyed that I could not drink from the saucer, since it was completely flat. The waves of water in the cup running away from my breath made me think that many things in the world are like these waves: metabolic processes are going on, energy is being transferred… And suddenly it dawned on me that information can also be transmitted. Information that preceded everything created by the hand of the Creator and which is the defining condition for the development of the whole world. We often require little effort from ourselves in exchange for a great result. And maybe this requirement, despite its apparent absurdity at first glance, has its own meaning? And if, knowing the formula for the development of the process, you breathe information into it with the appropriate program, then you can get a self-developing system. Maybe that's what the Creator did, intending to build such a gigantic structure as our universe?

I was taken aback by such thoughts. What did I care about the universe, energy, information before? And now suddenly it's gone. And then I began to think seriously."

Reading A. Yu. Savin, V.I Antonenko "Foundations of Noocosmology"

"This assumption echoes A.Kohram's thought about the "conscious properties of matter" (See: Cohram A. Relationship between Quantum Physics and Biology//Foundations of Physics.- 1971.- N 3). Apparently, they were also meant by the outstanding American physicist R. Feynman, considering the principle of least action in the quantum mechanical domain.

"In the case of light we also discussed the question: How does the particle find the right path? From the differential point of view, it is easy to understand. Every moment it gets an acceleration and knows only what to do at that instant. But all your instincts on cause and effect go haywire when you say that the particle decides to take the path that is going to give the minimum action. Does it 'smell'  the neighboring paths to find out whether or not they have more action? In the case of light, when we put blocks in the way so that the photons could not test all the paths, we found that they couldn't figure out which way to go, and we had the phenomenon of diffraction. "Is the same thing true in mechanics? Is it true that the particle doesn't just 'take the right path' but that it looks at all the other possible trajectories? And if  by having things in the way, we don't let it look, that we will get an analog of diffraction? The miracle of it all is, of course, that it does just that. That's what the laws of quantum mechanics say. So our principle of least action is  incompletely stated. It isn't that a particle takes the path of least action but that it smells all the paths in the neighborhood and chooses the one that has the least action by a method analogous to the one by which light chose the shortest time. (Feynman, Leighton, Sands,. "Lectures on Physics, Mainly Electromagnetism and Matter", Addison-Wesley 1964, p. 19-9)

Summarizing the statements of scientists, it can be concluded that behind the physically measurable structures of nature, the human spirit sees what is characteristic of itself. By “painting” the world to a logically complete system, he displays his own meaning in a scientific picture that coincides with the essence of the world. Consequently, the model of the surrounding reality displays not only what is opposite to consciousness, but also what is in the outside world, the logical continuation of which consciousness is. In other words, the dynamics of the development of ideas about the world, ultimately as a result, it inevitably leads to the inclusion of the psyche, consciousness in the theoretical construction of the universe."

Thank you for your comment..

  It’s not too hot, it’s not too cold and its forces act together in a way that’s just right; why does the universe seem so perfectly tailor...
