A Map of the Universe - A new paper that proposes a unified model of the Universe and addresses metaphysical questions s

Post by luciusverusfan »

A few of the many propositions made in the paper.

- We cannot know for certain whether there exists anything at all.

- The Universe is a deterministic, state-holding system that updates according to a set of state update rules.

- Subjects (such as humans) perceive the state of the Universe, but can only do so through language which leads to an imperfect perception of reality.

- Knowledge about the Universe must follow a general form of Concepts and Operators (these entities are defined in the paper).

- Infinity cannot exist within the Universe, infinity is a concept perceived by humans.

- All propositions stand in relation to a null proposition and may thus be negated.

Abstract: A Map of the Universe explores the fundamental laws of the Universe, the mechanisms which allow a subject to perceive the Universe, and the features of post-perception existence. The Map is constructed from a set of axioms that optimally capture knowledge of the Universe with respect to the constraints of perception.This project is situated inside a historical continuum of metaphysical exploration and draws on findings from the fields of logic, semiotics, mathematics, metaphysics, philosophy, and literature. Out of the Map falls theories of perception, consciousness, determinism, self, the role of language, and the nature of the Universe as a whole.
