pg32 Overlapping of laws at different levels (part 1 of 3)

Obviously, there is serious overlapping of laws at different composite levels.  We have to be consistent in the laws we use in any particular discussion.   There are three choices. 

1.  We can consider there are only elementary particles in the world, which are governed only by physics laws.  Under this scheme, no molecules, no biological bodies, no society, etc. are recognized, as they are governed by chemical laws, biological laws, social laws, etc. which are partially covered by physics laws already.  A molecule or a dog should be viewed only as a collection of particles.  All these particles follow the laws of physics only.

pg31 Topic 5 - Drop offs - Why Higher level Laws not derivable from lower level laws. (part 4 of 4)

Drop-offs at all levels of hierarchical complexity

Now, go to a higher level of hierarchy.  When molecules are formed into biological bodies, the body is the conceptual form (software), while the molecules are now the real concrete-objects (hardware).  The molecules are constantly refreshed (swapped) in order to satisfy the chemical laws, while at the same time higher level biological laws of the conceptual software (i.e. human bodies) are also observed.  Note that the hardware (e.g. cells) of a higher level software (human body) is the software (i.e. cells) of the lower level hardware (molecules), whose corresponding hardware (atoms) in turn is the software of the even lower level hardware (protons, neutrons and electrons) in the hierarchy.  A nation (software) can survive for many thousand years, but its people (hardware) can be born and die generation after generation.  But, each person (now, a software) has his/her cells (hardware) refreshed constantly.  Each cell (now, a form or software) has its molecules (hardware) swapped all the time.  Also, each molecule (form, software) has its atoms (hardware) swapped.  And each atom (now, a software) has its electrons (content, hardware) swapped.  There may be numerous layers of structures of objects and sometimes they could be overlapped and confused. 

We’ll discuss the logic of overlapping laws at different levels next.

pg30 Topic 5 - Drop offs - Why Higher level Laws not derivable from lower level laws. (part 3 of 4)

 

When higher level structures are recognized as certain (illusory) objects, they follow their own laws, e.g. chemical laws, biological laws, economical laws, etc.  While these laws don’t violate physics laws, they are not physics laws, and mostly cannot be derived from physics laws.  Why? 

One critical reason (a personal opinion) may be drop-offs.  Normally an interaction should follow the chemical law.  But it could happen that, due to local physics conditions, a particular molecule may not be able to follow the chemical law temporarily.  In such circumstances, certain atom/electron (the real concrete-objects, hardware) of the molecule could be dragged out (dropped-off) from the molecule temporarily by the physics force and is later replaced by a nearby like atom/electron, thus preventing the physics law from being violated, while at the same time the chemical law (between the molecular structures, the software) is also observed.  Thus, we see drop-off keeps higher level chemical law and lower level physics law both being observed, yet the chemical law cannot be derived from the physics law.  That is why free higher level laws can be implemented independently of lower level laws.  Higher level laws are between the conceptual software, while lower level laws are between real concrete-objects (hardware).  From physics point of view, chemical laws are not between real objects but between illusions (molecules) and hence would not conflict physics laws.  This is believed to be how supply and demand law, biological laws, chemical laws and physics laws are all implemented simultaneously without conflicting each other and how mind got room to manipulate those (illusory) objects.

pg29 Topic 5 - Drop offs - Why Higher level Laws not derivable from lower level laws. (part 2 of 4)

Two layers of reality: Conceptual Form (Software) and Concrete-objects (Hardware)

In fact, every object in the world consists of two levels of reality, form and concrete-objects  (See Plato: theory of forms, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms). While the higher level form remains unchanged (which may be called the software), concrete-objects may be swapped constantly (which may be called the hardware).  Let’s take molecules as an example.  At the higher level, molecule is a form (or a concept, or software), while at the lower level are the atoms which are the concrete-objects (or real material, or hardware).  While the higher level molecule (form or concept, or software) remains unchanged, the atoms (concrete-objects, or real material, or hardware) may be swapped constantly.

pg28 Topic 5 - Drop offs - Why Higher level Laws not derivable from lower level laws. (part 1 of 4)

Every object is a concept

As mentioned earlier, every object is a concept in the universe.  For example, the atoms in a molecule are not staying the same all the time.  When we say this is a glucose molecule, we actually mean the molecular structure of glucose, regardless of whether its constituent atoms, or electrons, remain exactly the same all the time or are swapped with neighboring like atoms or electrons. 

This phenomenon happens all the time at different levels of objects.  An atom may have its constituent electrons swapped (dropped off and replaced) from time to time.  In macroscopic scale, a 200 year old company may have its employees changed many, many times, but it’s still the same company.  A nation could be thousands of years old, with its people changed numerous times.  Drop-off need not happen at high percentage rate, but it does happen at all levels of structures.

pg27 From Physics Point of View, Choosing Body as an object is subjective and illusory (part 5 of 5)

Problem with Contemporary Science – Mixing Inconsistent Viewpoints

Let’s make it clear, although illusory objects have objective existence, they are still illusory from physics point of view.  Body and life could be chosen as real, but then atoms and elementary particles are illusions and we don’t care about physics laws and whether they are violated or not.  The difficulty with contemporary science is that human bodies, molecules, atoms and particles are all viewed as real simultaneously, while theoretically they cannot all be real at the same time and only one set of laws can be governing at a time (except in cases of non-composite entities).  To be consistent in any single discussion, one can choose only one set of governing laws and relevant entities.  The other laws and relevant entities are then illusory.  That they are considered illusory is based on the set of laws chosen (vertical view), rather than on who is the observer/viewer (horizontal view). 

Next, we’ll investigate why higher level laws are not derivable from lower level laws – drop offs.

pg26 From Physics Point of View, Choosing Body as an object is subjective and illusory (part 4 of 5)

There is objectivity in molecular (conceptual) structures acted by chemical laws, objectivity in biological (conceptual) structures acted by biological laws and objectivity in (conceptual) companies acted by business laws.  The subjectively recognized units are endowed with objectivity by its own governing laws, which treat each conceptual entity as a well defined individual object.  From physics point of view (i.e. when no chemical or biological laws are recognized), it is a mystery how a person can be recognized as a person not only by himself but also by everyone else.  It is an important topic in our discussion.  We will talk about how such objectivity can be established later.

pg25 From Physics Point of View, Choosing Body as an object is subjective and illusory (part 3 of 5)

From Physics Point Of View, All Objects Other Than Particles (Molecules, Cells, A City, The Whole World, Etc.) Are Also Subjective And Illusory.

By the same token, under physics point of view, atoms, molecules, cells, a tree, an animal, a city, a society, a culture and the whole world are all illusory.  Nothing is real.  They don’t exist if we choose to recognize only electrons, protons and neutrons (i.e. the most fundamental building blocks of the world) as real objects, which follow physics laws only.  They, as individual entities, are meaningless to physics laws. 

Objective Existence of Illusory Objects cannot be Denied.

Obviously, most people cannot accept that a human body is an illusion, as its existence is so clear because it doesn’t change according to our view.  This is true.  As pointed out many times, this is only based on physics viewpoint (vertical view of the structural hierarchy).  But, horizontally, it should be admitted that the collection of particles being recognized as a body is not entirely any one individual’s personal view.  It looks as if all other people share the same view as well.

pg24 From Physics Point of View, Choosing Body as an object is subjective and illusory (part 2 of 5)

A Man is like a relay run team.  Although a team may have its players changed many times in a run, it is still the same team.  A man is similar, the cells of an eighty year old man is totally different from those when he was ten years old, because the cells are changed/refreshed gradually throughout his life.  From physics point of view, the man at 80 years is an entirely different man than him at 10 years old.  The usual physics laws apply to fixed body only.  It is not right to expect usual physics laws to apply to a changing body.  Different laws must be established.

pg23 From Physics Point of View, Choosing Body as an object is subjective and illusory (part 1 of 5)

From physics point of view, choosing to recognize a human body as an object is subjective and illusory.  It is like a group of houses in a valley.  Whether to recognize the group as a village is a subjective point of view.  It is a mere personal opinion to choose to view the human body as an individual entity.  From physics point of view, a human body is not recognized as a special individual entity.  Consequently, life is also an illusion, which does not exist unless one chooses to recognize it.  Why is life (of a human body) so short?  The answer is in our point of view.  If we choose the physics point of view, life isn’t anything other than a virtual concept.  Why do we choose to view it as a special entity?  If we don’t choose to view it that way, they are just elementary particles and nothing long or short about it.
