  • The definition of art
    If I shit I'm conscious of the big self-organized saucage coming from my but. A true piece of art proudly made by yours truly. Everything that self-organizes and of which we are conscious is art like this. But it isn't.
  • How to envision quantum fields in physics?
    The fun-
    damental objects in quantum field theory are operator-valued distributions.
    An operator-valued distribution is an abstract object, which when integrated
    against a test function, yields a linear operator on a Hilbert space instead
    of a number.

    That's what I mean.

    I aske because of fields being operator valued distributions. Defined at and around points. Like a dirac delta.
  • Flow - The art of losing yourself
    Losing yourself in a flow state doesn't mean shifting to another "self". It means becoming part of the process without one's ego. That's a problem with philosophy, which involves thinking rather than doing.jgill

    :ok:
  • The Definition of Information


    Photons and gauge fields in general are pure energy.

    Yes. The intuitive understanding of objects is that of naive Realism. And normally, it "bears fruit". But optical Illusions and drug-provoked Hallucinations bear bad fruit. What you "see" ain't always what is out there.Gnomon

    What's naive about it? Are there naive realities and adult realities or something like that? Of course drug-induced hallicunations are just that. Hallicunations.

    Formalism is a math approach that states that math objects are real. No human inventions.
