§ Proclamation Of Digitology
§
When talking about
the universe and its nature, most scientific theories are perfectly valid,
to the extent they explain.
However, none
regress beyond the accepted, physically provable, and manipulative.
DIGITOLOGY
is a scientifically, socially—and even theologically—radical, yet perfectly
logical, conceptualization of the universe. In respect of the fundamental
aspects involved, all key terms will be capitalized.
Digitology
is defined as "a theoretical science and philosophy, positing the
universe is a hierarchal structure of informational MOLECULES, or DIGITS,
reducible down to the most fundamental equi-size and shaped Digit, the
DYGON, an invertible 'on' or 'off' state of being".
While at first
it may seem bizarre, when one seriously stops and thinks about it, it doesn't
seem so bizarre, and, in fact, it seems matter-of-factly obvious.
Consider the
physical world as we know it. How many different things in the world
do you think there are? Millions? Billions?
How about
less than 200? Since everything in this world is a combination of
one or more of the atomic elements, everything can be ultimately reduced
to them. But now, what are all elements made of? Electrons,
protons and neutrons! Thus even the elements can be reduced.
Therefore, all of the billions of different products, states, compounds,
etc.—no matter how complicated or sophisticated—can be reduced to various
combinations of the four prime "presences": Electrons, protons, neutrons
and space. However, even they can be reduced, as an electron is simply
a particle with a negative charge, a proton is a particle with a positive
charge, and a neutron is a particle with no charge. Thus the four
can be reduced to three: Particles, charges and space.
Digitology
is simply a continuation of this dissection. While the Dygon is the
most primary state of being, it, in and of itself, is only the material,
or "stuffing". The most basic informational processing structure
is the DIGITRON, consisting of a set number of Dygons. In the computer
sense, besides being the Molecular building block, the Digitron is the
intelligentsia of all existence.
This quickly
loses its apparent implausibility as one realizes intelligence is directly
proportional to space (e.g., a computer is limited by the amount of accessible
memory). Looking at it another way, the more bricks you have, the
more intricate the building you are designing can be. This intricacy
of memory is referred to as "definition". For instance, a North American
TV system has a 525 line picture definition. One of the European
"High Definition TV" systems, on the other hand, has a 1050 line definition,
meaning the picture is twice as sharp and "defined".
Another example
is the big bank clocks that light up dots to tell the time: A clock
with more dots will have better shaped numbers, meaning a higher definition.
The key to
Digitology is definition. This observer believes it would
be impossible to find the actual definition—as is physically proving most
other Digitological concepts, thus it is a theoretical science—for the
same reason that, if a motion picture film was actually "alive", it would
be impossible for the film's characters to "step out" of the film and examine
its physical makeup, as the character is nothing more than a series of
still pictures.
When we talk
about Digital definition, we are talking about mind boggling proportions.
Let's say an electron was enlarged to the size of a grain of sand.
Now let's enlarge that electron to the size of the sun, and say it is composed
solely of Digitrons, each Digitron being the size of a grain of sand!
Now take one of those Digitrons and enlarge it to the size of the
sun, and say it is made up of Dygons, that are the size of a grain
of sand! When one considers these proportions, the plausibility and
potentiality of Digitology begins to dawn: When we look at the most
sophisticated computer in the world—remembering that it is all reducible
to electrons (which, as electricity, is the basis of all electronic information),
protons, and neutrons—we can see how it is perfectly legitimate to say
each Digitron is its own independent computer (as for the ones who note
that it is people who make "earthly" computers, keep in mind that people
themselves can be thought of as computers, and that even people are ultimately
only specific arrangements of electrons, protons, and neutrons!).
Like computers,
Digitrons may only use a small part of its structure for "output".
If, for example, a Digitron had a definition of, say, 1,000,000 Dygons,
the output may only be allocated 73 Dygons: An output with Dygons
that are all "off" may constitute a Molecule—"building block"—of space,
one with 12 "on" may be a "memory" Molecule, one with 20 "on" may be a
proton Molecule, 25 may be a neutron, 29 may be an electron, and energy
itself may be the result of all 73 Dygons being "on".
Thus you are
left with an ample supply of combinations for all other knowns (antimatter,
etc.) and unknowns (apparent physical impossibilities—the supernatural—as
well as other paraphysical and parapsychological phenomena).
The vast majority
of the Digitron's structure, however, is allocated to informational storage
and processing (including a section for its own operating procedures).
Conceivably,
Digitrons may very well know what each and every other Digitron is doing:
Say you have a hundred blocks. One of the blocks is green, another
is red, and a third is blue. Now let's say each block is made
up of a thousand smaller blocks. With these n1umbers, each big block
could have one hundred of the smaller blocks allocated to storing the conditional
state of each of the other big blocks: The one allocated to the green
block would be green, the red one red, and the blue one would be blue.
The greater the number of smaller blocks per
big block (the higher the definition), the less percentage of space used.
The same holds true for Digitrons. However, since a Digitron's output
would involve many Dygons, each Digitron would need an adequate allocation
per Digitron: In our above, 73 Dygon allocation, each Digitron would
need a storage allocation equal to 73 times the number of Digitrons
in existence—and since the number of Digitrons is phenomenal, you
can see where the Digitron's definition needs to be even more phenomenal.
With all this activity, the question of time
surfaces. While it may seem impossible for all this processing to
occur without being aware of it, it can, in fact, take as long as it wants.
Similar to our motion picture example, take a
cartoon as a clearer example: As each frame of the cartoon is created
individually by a cartoonist, if the artist stopped painting in the middle
of a frame, and didn't return to it for three months, the completed cartoon
wouldn't know the difference. Thus a DUT (Digital Unit
of Time) is needed. A Dut is the amount of time needed for
a Dygon to invert its "on" or "off" state of being: The quantitatively
undefined, smallest unit of time. Say the shortest known, scientifically
calculated unit of time is a "working time instant" (WTI). A WTI
could be as short as a Dut, or as long as 500 billion earth years, since
any tangible change—such as aging, or any other atomic movement—could only
increment once per WTI.
There is one more radical element of Digitology,
that can be easily overlooked: Since the complete universe, or DIGITARIUM,
is omnipresently composed of Dygons, and that Dygons are the most elementary
units of information (that are only capable of inverting), it follows that
they are stationary, thus, nothing in the Digitarium actually moves,
it only APPEARS to move. It is quite similar to a video screen
(the "output") on a computer: When one uses a word processor and
moves a letter over three spaces, the "physical" letter itself (the light)
doesn't move, only its order of information. In fact, when you see
a letter "sitting still" on the screen, the physical light itself only
exists for a 60th of a second, at which time a new light with the exact
same order of information replaces it—again and again, until the order
of information is directed to change. Thus, the Digitarium is essentially
a three dimensional TV screen. One could even use a word processing
program as an analogy of a hierarchical structure of information, and,
therefore, Digitology itself: The whole program itself is the outermost
Digit. Regression back down one path would descend in the following
manner:
-
The whole paper being written;
-
Each paragraph of the paper;
-
Each sentence of the paragraph;
-
Each word of the sentence;
-
Each letter of the word;
-
Each dot making up the letter;
-
Each subdot making up the varying brightness of the
screen;
-
And, finally, the electrons making up the subdots.
With all this understood, one can visualize
the physical and psychical (meaning human nature, "life", theology, etc.)
ramifications presented with the concepts of Digitology, which could revolutionize
man's interpretation and ultimate understanding of all existence.
