Dreamland Workshop for the living Dead

When you have come to the point, where it seems impossible to go on and Black Jack awaits for your arrival, you should always remember that you should have taken the Dreamland Workshop for the living Dead and reading on now is definately a step in the right direction. Find TEH theory on the universe, life and everything here.

(i) The first thing to keep in mind is that death is part of life as much as birth is. There is no beginning and no end and this beginning-end thinking stems from a look that is too close and focused. The apple grows and falls off the tree, the human is born, the human dies. If you however extract yourself from this view and view it from a larger distance you will always be able to see cycles and cycles over cycles. Next year the apple grows again and falls off again and will continue to do so. New humans are born with the combined genetic information.
(ii) The next thing to see is that there is infinity everywhere, but not in the sense that you can never reach the end of the universe, the infinity is that on the surface of a ball, no matter in which direction you go, you will never reach the end, however you may run across locations you have already been. The space is constrained, but the movement is not.
(iii) The third and final thing to remember is that everything is energy, as proven by Einstein's famous formula: E=mc^2 which basically says that energy equals matter. Energy cannot be destroyed and cannot be created it is available in various different forms which can only change shape. Electricity may become heat and heat may be transformed into movement. I have an activity report concerning energy transformations on my desk, which I will summarize at a later date.

These things allow us to view the universe life and everything as a process of reoccuring cycles that will continue in limited space for an infinite amount of time and with a limited amount of energy (=matter). The universe is an automata!

An automata is simply described as a 5 tupel, with states, input, output and 2 functions, one that produces output and the other that advances the state. The universe is slightly different as there is no input. This is called a feedback automata and means that the universe advances in state solely based on its current state. The transition function is that of the laws of physics, chemistry, mathematics,... but much richer than what we know now. If the universe produces an output is yet unknown.

And here comes the very first thing again: cycles. The universe, which is nothing else than the current state of the feedback automata may come to a point where it has been already and because only the current state is used to decide the next state, the universe cycles. There exists a special automata which has a cycle of maximum length and where the universe passes each possible states except the zero state.
We can only speculate on wether our universe is an automata with maximum length that will transform into all the different possibilities or if we are trapped in some cycle that uses only a part of the possible states of the universe. A requirement would certainly be that the space is discrete, if this is the case, is still unknown.
Anyway, if we'd acknowledge the Big Bang Theory this would mean that eventually the universe will collapse again and the Big Bang will reoccur expanding the same universe again. There you have a cycle and you can split it up at any point to have your beginning and end, it will still be a cycle.

It is clear that this restricts our abilities of free will and such as we are all part of a function whose behavior is given, but only predictable as the exact calculation would require an automata the same size of the universe, which is impossible to achieve when we cannot escape our universe.
We cannot change our future, we can only explore it. Those who expect a manual on what to do, much as pretty much all religions deliver may be dissapointed, but I cannot help you.
Our departments are going to examine this for possible applications and technologies. I perceive interesting things to surface.
