Holographic universe?

"...One of the most amazing things about the human thinking process is that every piece of information seems instantly cross-correlated with every other piece of information--another feature intrinsic to the hologram. Because every portion of a hologram is infinitely interconnected with ever other portion, it is perhaps nature's supreme example of a cross-correlated system.

The storage of memory is not the only neurophysiological puzzle that becomes more tractable in light of Pribram's holographic model of the brain. Another is how the brain is able to translate the avalanche of frequencies it receives via the senses (light frequencies, sound frequencies, and so on) into the concrete world of our perceptions.

Encoding and decoding frequencies is precisely what a hologram does best. Just as a hologram functions as a sort of lens, a translating device able to convert an apparently meaningless blur of frequencies into a coherent image, Pribram believes the brain also comprises a lens and uses holographic principles to mathematically convert the frequencies it receives through he senses into the inner world of our perceptions.

An impressive body of evidence suggests that the brain uses holographic principles to perform its operations. Pribram's theory, in fact, has gained increasing support among neurophysiologists..."

  • Holographic Universe?
    To me, it makes sense...We don't know the strength nor techniques our own minds use to decipher the world around us. Can it be possible?

  • Holographic Dimensions of Space & Time
    Scientic American had an article on this subject within the last few years, and it is an interesting conjecture. One must wonder if time may be holographic too in some analogous way in addition to space since they were postulated by Einstein to be unified as space-time in relativity theory.

    Arthur Schopenhauer in 'The Fourfold Roots of Reason' wrote a sort of 'Kant's transcendal idealism made simple'. Transcendtal idealism as opposed to Platonic realism supposes that everything experienced is conditioned subjectively...that approach is especially helpful in providing contexts for cosmological modeling.

    I will quote Kant and Schopenhauer...

    "Space itself is nothing but mere representation, and whatever is in it must therefore be contained in that representation. There is nothing whatever in Space, except so far as it is really represented in it."-Kant

    "If we take away the thinking subject, the whole material world must vanish; because it is nothing but a phenomenon in the sensibility of our own subject and a certain class of it's representations."-Kant

    "Conversely, if we desire to abstract from the subjectivity of the Subject, yet to have something over, the contary takes place, and this leads to Materialism."Schopenhauer in The Fourfold Root of Reason

    "Every true, consequently really primary force of Nature-and every fundamental chemical property belongs to these forces-is essentially a qualitas occulta, i.e. it does not admit of physical, but only of metaphysical explanation: in other words, of an explanation which transcends the world of phenomena."Schopenhauer

    Schopenhauer goes on to explain how the mind constructs models or representations of reality from sense data within understanding, and his method seems reflected in metamathematical models of the dimensions and relations of the 'physical' universe interpreted through experience contemporarily.

    The size or scale and structure of a universe is subjective at least in part contingent on the innate facalties of the human physiology and I would guess upon human understanding and reason as well. Even in logic human beings will rationally organize interpreted sense data and a priori constructs within parameters implicit within their own parameters as existing beings.

    Construction of M-Theory and extra diemsional spaces t compliment observed interpretations of sense data experience constructions of the Universe seems on the face of it to be an example of a product cosmology built in accord with present logic parameters of human reasoning. Extra dimensions of space and perhaps extra dimensions of time too of various sizes or powers in relation to one another in hypothesized pluralist relations returning at some point to a monism...the approach is perennial and found in all the worlds major religions perhaps in attempting to describe the One. Even Buddhism postulates an unmoved mover prior to any sort of illusion or emanation such as the Universe seems.
