To find out more about my view on this you should examine "retroactive event determination" in my research.
He's got a new interview on the national overnight radio show "Coast to Coast"
the Fourier domain is used ubiquitously in solving physics problems in space, but its application to time is hampered by conceptual difficulties...we cannot form a consistent “time operator”...the path integral says particles “travel” along all paths in space but along a unique path in time...Gilbert Lewis pointed out that light leaving a star many light years away will not evolve at all during its travel, as if the beginning and endpoints are the same.
For all these reasons, Nelson-Isaacs has sought in this paper to identify the inconsistency and provide a suggested solution based on the well-known engineering physics of signal processing and the Fourier transform. The approach is appealing because very little is introduced as new, but existing inconsistencies are cleared up in a novel way. An unexpected result of this reformulation is the framing of quantum mechanics in the structure of a hologram and a reasonable sense in which the world is like a computation.
In order for a map in time to change in time we would need an additional kind of time for the change to happen with respect to. Rather than go this route, we find instead that the wavefunction encodes the entire history (actually, all possible histories) of each object into the frequency or spectral representation. The experience of a particular moment in that history is extracted from it in the same way a particular 3-dimensional perspective is extracted from viewing a hologram at a certain angle.
One cannot define a specific “now” or “privileged present” in spacetime (or “regular space”). We say that the wave function cannot be “time-sliced.” Rather, reality is made of the possible paths for things, paths as a whole, defined from beginning to end, all at once.
So instead of a "second time" from the Future - he envisions a probabilistic overlapping of the future and past during the NOW.
As we will see, this is analogous to the mathematics of a hologram, in which physical behavior is encoded in a 4 dimensional frequency domain.
The frequency domain
The 4 dimensional frequency domain is an important innovation, and can be understood with practical examples.
So... Eddie Oshins emphasizes that a Holographic Fourier Hilbert Space uses Vectors whereas quantum mechanics uses noncommutative time-frequency as Spinors (more fundamental than vector space).
Does this dude understand the difference? - Sky Nelson-Isaac? time is asymmetric.
https://www.mdpi.com/2624-960X/3/1/2
There is his academic published paper.
Yeah he says that his Fourier Domain exists OUTSIDE of space and time because he is co-mingling the frequency and time domain together. So he seems to think it's possible to measure the future at the SAME time as the past? This goes against the collapse of the wave function. He understands retrocausality.
So let's look at the details.
He should be talking about Quantum Fourier analysis.
Therefore, a sound file represented in the frequency domain cannot be time-sliced, for it is a map over frequencies, not over time. A given location in that file corresponds to a given frequency but has no association with a specific time. A “slice” does not give a recognizable description of any part of the original sound. This is analogous to saying there is no “now” in the regular 4 dimensional space. However, the time information is not lost. It is still present in the data, encoded into the phase profile of the signal, and it can be extracted through an inverse Fourier transform.So phase is not the same as time. The phase is through the amplitude I think. So you convert from frequency-amplitude back to time-amplitude.
But vectors are additional as Superposition but since they are spinors - this "conversion" is only AFTER the collapse of the wave function in Quantum Mechanics. Before the collapse then they are ENTANGLED. So that is inherently time-frequency uncertainty - whether it's Fourier or quantum. Only in QM the "switch" from frequency to time thereby CHANGES the direction of the phase and therefore the meaning of the wavefunction.
these two “spaces” provide an information-based description of the possible dynamical behavior or movements of things. Our movement through time is like changing our perspective on a hologram and watching the item captured by the hologram move as we shift perspectives on a hologram. The object persists, but evolves. The “hologram” encodes possibilities, but is not itself physically real. Actual experimental results are only obtained through subjective interactions between observers.
So I'm not sure what he means experimentally here.
But an object changes due to discrete interactions only by coordinate
intervals which leave the map itself (the “static block universe”)
unchanged. These are “spacetime paths as a whole.” Thus, any measurable notion of time must not be considered continuous, but rather advance in discrete steps at each moment of interaction. This is a fundamental difference from our usual models in which time is experienced smoothly and objectively, from past to present to future. This is a radical rethinking of what we consider “real,” for what can be considered “real” during the in-between moments when time is not even well-defined?Right - so this is the problem of Time that Lee Smolin is also trying to correct or the problem when Einstein states that time inherently does not exist! Only the block universe of Space exists.
that the frequency domain representation of a photographic image contains a complex spectrum that has integrity as a whole and cannot be subdivided. In other words, cutting the photograph physically in half or placing a filter over the outer regions of the spectrum alters the entire complex spectrum.
The frequency domain describes relationships across images as a whole, in the same way that it describes entire histories as a whole.
Yes only the Complex domain in Fourier analysis is NOT the same as the Noncommutative process in quantum mechanics. Noncommutative time as noncommutative phase CREATES the Complex domain...
This is an important fact in the consideration of 4 dimensional wave functions in quantum mechanics. The trajectories or paths of these signals are determined by a given 4 dimensional frequency space distribution, just as in the photographic case. Just as locally altering the complex spectrum of a photographic image in 2 dimensional frequency space generates artifacts or changes to the entire image in 2 dimensional regular space, a local modification of the 4 dimensional frequency space representation of a physical object will affect the spatial and temporal characteristics of an entire chain of events in spacetime.So he's talking about QM as if it's Schroedringer's wave equation whereby time evolves in a linear manner as a parameter "outside" the equation of 4D space yet he wants the OPPOSITE as in the Heisenberg Matrix math whereby the time is inside the equation as an operator and it's the spatial parameters that evolve. The problem is these two approaches are complementary but not the same.
the “coordinates” constitute the usual notion of time: they are measurable and evolving. These are the events of reality, or the apparent 3D images that you see in a hologram. The “parameters” are not measurable, but still fundamentally important. They are the hidden interference information, the patterns on a holographic film that encode what you see in the film. They do not change or evolve in time, for they encode time itself.
Right - so this is the whole "Hidden Variable" problem in QM that Einstein first raised and de Broglie and David Bohm tried to solve. I can be solved for ONE particle but to make a measurement we need two particles - or else the recent WEAK measurements of ENTANGLED particles exposes this "hidden" variable of a 2nd time from the future that is relativistic mass.
Further, the Fourier transform is unitary, meaning information is preserved during the transform between the spaces. Thus, the lack of existence of frequency space information about “continuous movement” of the particle means that such information cannot exist in regular space either. All that exists is the information about the overall interval of travel. Therefore, the interactions which begin or end a path of travel have a physical description, but the intermediate path of travel does not.
This is what Gilbert Lewis was referring to with the phrase “virtual contact” in his 1926 articles on starlight. Light leaving the Sun may take eight minutes to get to Earth, but because it is travelling at light speed, space and time do not actually exist. The notion of travel doesn’t make sense, and the beginning and end of the trip are like a single event. This is equally true of light from a galaxy that is millions of light years away. This disrupts our notion of continuous time and the present moment, and introduces timelessness and spacelessness.
Right but whether you start the "overall interval" or phase at one end as the beginning or at the other end at the beginning does change the meaning of the path - as per quantum mechanics - due to noncommutative time-frequency. You can't just "flip" the future and past symmetrically.
He doesn't seem to be addressing that key issue at all. Oh well. Let's read his actual academic paper and see if anyone has even cited it.
https://skynelson.medium.com/publication-of-spacetime-paths-as-a-whole-351fe432c04e
OK here he is trying to explain his science in "lay" terms.
https://skynelson.medium.com/living-inside-a-hologram-5697ea8c153c
So again I'm not sure he even realizes the problem of a hologram being a complex domain that is symmetric versus noncommutative quantum mechanics - the Hilbert Space is different since one is vectors and the quantum one is Spinors.
OK I really like the way he is describing the Fourier frequency analysis requiring a "beginning and end" in time as the phase domain but he is stating that in real life we do not NEED a "beginning and end" that requires a linear order of time! We can also project into the future from the end back into the beginning and vice versa.
So he is saying INSTEAD of converting time into a linear operator of "Now" just as an MP3 file converts data into a linear chain of "now" moments - rather each moment should be experienced as the WHOLE 4D frequency domain that includes the future and the past overlapping as probabilistic choices.
yes. Theoretically this is true. But how would it work in "science"? It can not due to time-frequency uncertainty. That is the great paradox between relativity and quantum mechanics.
So then he says if the Universe is a holograph then the "film" can NOT be observed because the 4D frequency space (of the future and past overlapping) exists everywhere all the time right now.
So then he asks - does this holographic INCLUDE us or are we "separate observers" OUTSIDE the holograph - and he states:
"My research has not produced a definitive answer to these questions."Well that is the key to such issues as Negentropy or negative entropy - and the "noise" or "pollution" of science as it were - whether time is asymmetric or symmetric, etc. oops.
He is choosing instead to prefer that the Universe as a hologram exists inside us as a kind of Dream.
So then he goes on to explain that our 4D spacetime is in fact an illusion created by these "ripples" or waveforms of the 4D frequency domain as a holograph. He does an excellent job of pedagogy here - translating what a Holograph IS in terms of the actual waveforms in contrast to what people perceive as the 3D image generated.
So he says the actual waveform is the parameters as numbers.
There's an error in the article - he says "figure 2" when he means "figure 3" - no biggie.
So he is stating that the SPEED is encoded in the frequency domain. This makes sense since speed is frequency x wavelength.
I was just thinking about this yesterday - the difference of speed as Distance divided by time versus Speed as the "phase speed" as de Broglie defines speed based on frequency x wavelength.
Because LIGHT can not be a "point" as a distance due to it having zero rest mass. This is the paradox that Sky Nelson-Isaac is dealing with.
So in the quantum holograph - unlike a normal holograph - there HAS to be a separate parameter for TIME at the same time there is a parameter for spatial frequency.
So he is saying the FIRST "hologram" is what we typically consider the "coordinates" or actual real events in 4D spacetime.
The SECOND hologram can never be directly observed because it is CONVERTING the frequency coordinates back into a TIME coordinate.
So just as a 2D waveform hologram of 4D spacetime does not LOOK like the 3D hologram (that has speed encoded in it as a parallax illusion) so also does the 4D frequency-time parameter not LOOK like our actual experience. It remains "hidden" or "unobservable."
So he is saying each experience is DISCRETE yet that's not the truth of reality.
So then this DISCRETE EVENT is the "coordinate" system that is just for "show" and gives the "illusion" of continuous time but it is not the REAL continuous time just as in a hologram that appears in 4D spacetime - there is nothing actually present (except light).
Meanwhile the actual "continuous" time is due to the 4D Frequency "space" that can NEVER be Observed directly.
So then BEFORE you "choose" to observe the coordinate holographic reality there is still an overlapping of the Future with the Past in the 4D Frequency space such that the future can change the past, etc.
So the 4D frequency space can not CHANGE in time UNTIL a "choice" is made. This is the crucial issue here that means time-frequency uncertainty as noncommutative phase. Penrose and Hameroff argue that this "choice" IS consciousness as a SPONTANEOUS collapse of the frequency domain into a spatial phase amplitude domain (gravity). So therefore the higher the frequency of our consciousness than the LONGER we have Free Will before the "choice" is made. This is experienced as precognitive visions or being in the Zone with external time as "choices" being SLOWER than the "internal time" as Free Will.
So Sky Nelson-Isaac is stating that the NOW does not exist yet until this "choice" or collapse of the wave function is made. Until then the future can still influence the past.
This is what he means by Retroactive Event Determination.
He is saying because the present NOW does not exist or is inherently UNknowable therefore there is an inherent Freedom to each "choice" that is made.
So he states this does NOT mean you can change the past - only that the past is retroactivately determined by the choice as a whole meaning. But in qigong you CAN change the past.
OK so then he makes the distinction that I pointed out above - he is sticking to quantum Fourier analysis without using Hilbert space of vectors and so he explains it is possible to apply this logic to the macroquantum scale.
He cites three papers that he states explain what is now being termed "relative reality" - in other words what we experience is not the REAL reality but it is "relative reality" whereas quantum mechanics is the real reality.
You can't copy and paste from "Medium" articles - a real drag on the supposed role of the Interwebs.
So I'll go to Sci-hub to read his actual science article.
OH it's open access - I'm guessing NO ONE has even cited his paper.
https://www.mdpi.com/2624-960X/3/1/2
Right - so this is what Olivier Costa de Beauregard relies on also - the "transition amplitudes" of Feynman.
Ah so he cites Hiley's work on noncommutative phase.
I'm impressed. He's not soft-headed.
Right - I agree with the non-statistical approach of phase space of Hiley.
So this is a very well-written and fascinating paper. I will have to read it in detail later.
Now let's switch over to a person whom Lee Smolin promotes.
Measuring Higgs Self-Coupling at CMS
I want to see what she says about Feynman.
Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski
This was her UNDERGRADUATE senior thesis!! No wonder she got cited by Stephen Hawking. Wow.
https://physicsgirl.com/speeddemontalk.pdf
Here is the playlist of Sky Nelson-Isaac.
Yeah I would hope you would read Olivier Costa de Beauregard as he proved that precognition is real and also telekinesis. From qigong meditation we can reverse past energy blockages - so the past can be healed at least - going back to its root origin. Our teacher Chunyi Lin did read Michael Talbot's Holographic Universe book and said yes it does accurately portray what reality is like for a qigong master. Only as Eddie Oshins points out - Karl Pribram could not understand that the Hilbert vector space for Fourier transforms is not the same as the inherent noncommutative time-frequency of spinors. I see that you do understand this difference. thanks for your excellent summary of different approaches to relativistic quantum mechanics.
FASCINATING interview on dogs detecting cancer BEFORE any science tests
Andreas Mershin is a physicist at the Center for Bits and Atoms in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
oh oh - he's talking quantum AI consciousness.
https://news.mit.edu/2021/disease-detection-device-dogs-0
The miniaturized detection system, Mershin says, is actually 200 times
more sensitive than a dog’s nose in terms of being able to detect and identify tiny traces of different molecules, as confirmed through controlled tests mandated by DARPA. But in terms of interpreting those molecules, “it’s 100 percent dumber.” That’s where the machine learning comes in, to try to find the elusive patterns that dogs can infer from the scent, but humans haven’t been able to grasp from a chemical analysis.
from a review:
Nelson-Isaacs says that the woman’s vivid
anticipation is able to influence which possible states of her environment
become actual, weighting the various possible states in favor of those that
are more likely to produce the qualitative experience she’s anticipating. For
instance, if there’s a cyclist boarding the train at the time that the woman is
rushing to catch it, her mental anticipation of popcorn at the theater could
increase the likelihood of the cyclist’s getting their bike stuck in the train
doors, so that the train is delayed in leaving the station and the woman
has enough time to board. Or the woman’s anticipation could increase the
likelihood that the driver of the train will be momentarily distracted so that
the train doors close a few seconds later than they normally would. There are
many different ways that the woman’s anticipated, qualitative experience of
salty popcorn at the theater could be promoted by the way events unfold
around her, and some of them might not even involve her making it to the
play on time. As Nelson-Isaacs points out, it could be that she makes it
to the play too late to be seated but then discovers that a nearby movie
theater is playing a film she’s been wanting to watch, and so she ends up in
the movie theater munching on their salty popcorn and enjoying the very
qualitative experience she’d been anticipating, albeit in a different context.
Nelson-Isaacs notes that his theory allows us to explain synchronistic
experiences without appealing to supernatural powers of influence over
other people or objects. This woman isn’t causing the bicycle or the train
driver to behave in any particular way. Rather, the quantum processes
occurring in her environment are evolving in response to the qualitative
experience on which she’s focusing her mental energy.
