The initial act of this self-creation - a critical phenomenon where the material phase transitions give rise simultaneously to mass and the strong, electro-magnetic, weak properties of mater in agreement with those of the standard model of elementary particle physics - is shown to concern 3+l dimensional Lorentzian space/time and Einstein's general relativity. Similarly subsequent acts giving rise to entirely novel material phase transitions and properties of matter, as predicted by renormalization group theory for which K.G. Wilson received the Nobel Prize, may include, evidence is presenæd those of self-aware, possibly conscious, living systems.

It shows that both natural languages with their semantic speech stuctures, which are sign representations of human mental activity and thought, and genetic texts(ie DNA/ RNA and proteins, etc) exhibit a strategically close geometrical fractal framework. A similar analysis of random texts of the same characters leads to the loss of this framework. This not only points to a causal supergenetic relationship between such texts that proceeds at some level in the demonstrated fractal framework, but that, for example, Chomsky's concept of a universal grammar, in relation to all forms of human languages (including mathematics and computer languages), is probably not only correct but is naturally genetically inherent.

Mathematics emerges from the system in the form of a Clifford-type algebra, while physics takes the form of nilpotent quantum mechanics (NQM). The most significant characteristic of NQM is that the quantum system (fermion state) and its environment (vacuum) are mathematical mirror images of each other. So a change in one automatically leads to corresponding changes in the other. We have used this characteristic as a model for self-organization, which has applications well beyond quantum physics. The nilpotent structure, seen as emerging from two commutative vector spaces, has a number of identifiable characteristics which we can expect to find in systems where self-organization is dominant; a recent case involves the neurons in the visual cortex. We expect to find many complex systems where our general principles, based, by analogy, on NQM, will apply.

In particular, the evidence of Scully et al taken together with that of Schempp, presented over several years, shows how the usual objection to quantum coherence, that the brain is a thermodynamic hot machine, can be and are overcome, as is indeed would appear to be the case for the photosynthetic harvesting of photons by chlorophyll.

Entropy and information can be shown to have a direct connection with the concept of the generation of the number field at a very fundamental level.

Yet, ever since, despite enormous advances, science has resisted the precept implicit in the quantum mechanical formalism now increasingly confirmed by the experimental evidence, that reality is fundamentally non-local and reducible only locally to the classical Newtonian understanding that subsumed science before Planck's discovery. Even now such advanced ideas for the unification of physics such as string theory begin by quantizing an essentially classical model. Yet the expanding science and emerging technology of quantum cybernetics and information processing will, I am now convinced, change this. In particular, quantum holography/holochory offers such quantum non-local modelling such as quantum neural information processing or the completion began by Einstein, for Riemann's programme for the geometrization of physics, where the local classical models emerge as invariants. It is not therefore that neural networking or Einstein's general relativity are wrong, but that they are of limited application to modelling the reality in which we live, and that quantum models offer a new category of explanatory power, as this paper attempts to demonstrate, the breadth of which has yet to be fully appreciated.

This paper presented at the British Theoretical Computer Science Colloquium at the University of Warwick in March 24-26, 1986. proposed a definition of common sense as essential element in the solution of the problem of machine intelligence. lt concluded, that common sense is both the deep syntax of natural processes and governs the basic semantics of logical or mathematical language. Then published only as an abstract, I felt it merited inclusion in CASYS 07 Thu, 19 Sep 2024 15:05:37 +0200 Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:49:55 +0200 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=3462 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=3444 A novel approach to a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis (that all the zeros of the Zeta function lie on the line x = 1/2) is presented. It is based on the universal nilpotent computational rewrite system (NUCRS), derived in the World Scientific book Zero to lnfinity, from a single nilpotent Dirac operator (Rowlands, 2007), establishing an entirely novel semantic computational foundation simultaneously for both mathematics and quantum physics. Tangible evidence is that the Zeta function is known to represent a quantum system and that the criterion of nilpotence corresponds to (a) Pauli exclusion with unique fermion states spin 1/2 and (b) an infinite rewrite alphabet that also corresponds to the infinite roots of -1, of which the nilpotent generalization of Dirac' s famous quantum mechanical equation is the universal computational order code.

'Alternative (a)' says that 'QM is the complete truth about the physical world (in the sense that it will always give reliable predictions concerning the nature of experiments) at all levels and describes an external reality'.

How Zenergy fuels the natural structure of the Universe, is then in complete accord with the existence of 3+l space-time, the known elementary particles quantizations and galactic structure. Similar QCE explanations of the natural structure of DNA, and of the human brain/mind as a conscious engine are given. Thus 'the Universe, life, consciousness and everything' may derive its entire structure from this difference between classical and quantum mechanical thermodynamic machines.
