Design Language

 

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, or network. Objective: To generate symbolic links between scientific discovery, design awareness and consciousness.

"The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth."

Our Language is Inadequate to Describe Quantum Reality    Marco Gleiser   01.04.2023

"First, images we build in our minds when we try to picture light or particles of matter are not appropriate. Language itself struggles to address quantum reality, since it is limited to verbalizations of those mental images."

"Meta-representation is the ability to represent a representation - being able to attach an abstract concept or meaning to a separate entity - and enables humans to adapt to their environment in real-time unlike most animals who can only adapt through slow genetic change over evolutionary time. Examples are using symbolism and metaphor, which for humans are second nature and taken for granted. But verbal and written language are only possible because we can abstract the idea of a thing and assign it a name - a symbol - that can be spoken and written. The perceiver understand that the symbol refers to a thing that is not a symbol itself."

Mathematics is a design expression.

Design harbors a vibratory language.

Design presents itself in the form of signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy. Design has a meaning and a purpose. Design brings meaning and purpose to Life. Design broadens consciousness through awareness. Design harbors a hidden and aetheric language that is felt and not fully understood.

Design embraces the unspoken word.

Design has a science and philosophy all its own, a language that connects the realms of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Specifically, if you have to ask what design is, no one could ever explain it to you.

Ref: Kenneth Burke:

"The political and social power of symbols was central to Burke's scholarship throughout his career. He felt that through understanding "what is involved when we say what people are doing and why they are doing it", we could gain insight into the cognitive basis for our perception of the world.

The use of rhetoric conveys aesthetic and social competence which is why a text can rarely be reduced to purely scientific or political implications. according to Burke. Rhetoric forms our social identity by a series of events usually based on linguistics, but more generally by the use of any symbolic figures. He uses the metaphor of a drama to articulate this point, where interdependent characters speak and communicate with each other while allowing the others to do the same. Also, Burke describes identification as a function of persuasive appeal."

"It’s important to understand that emotions are not the same as feelings. Emotions are responses the mind makes from a space of defining something as being either Good or Bad."

Emmanuel Dagher

Design is veiled in our thoughts and feelings. Design is internal and external, seen and unseen, tangible and intangible, shared and personal. Design is euphemistic. Design is coded - marks, images and impressions that when placed in a certain order or pattern become inscribed in the form of a "signature". 

code:     1 a system of words, letters, figures, or other symbols substituted for other words, letters, etc., especially for the purposes of secrecy:     • a system of signals, such as sounds, light flashes, or flags, used to send messages:    • a series of letters, numbers, or symbols assigned to something for the purposes of classification or identification:     2 Computing program instructions:     3 a systematic collection of laws or regulations:     • a set of conventions governing behavior or activity in a particular sphere: a dress code.     • a set of rules and standards adhered to by a society, class, or individual:

verb: 1 convert (the words of a message) into a particular code in order to convey a secret meaning: • express the meaning of (a statement or communication) in an indirect or euphemistic way: (as adjective coded) : • assign a code to (something) for purposes of classification, analysis, or identification.

Universal Emotional Hubs in Language 

Author: Hiroshi Matsuda,  Tokyo University of Science 

Colexification is a phenomenon in which the occurrence of a single word is associated with multiple concepts that share semantic relationships. The analysis of colexification is an innovative linguistic method for indirect semantic associativity analysis, leveraging existing semantic relations without the need for additional data. 

The findings of this study may offer novel insights into the evolution of languages and cross-cultural communication since words are considered to be intricately connected to emotions. The outcomes gain significance amid the increasing importance of comprehending natural language processing. 

A better understanding of natural language processing will also aid in the development of language processing algorithms and large language models (LLMs).

The meaning of emotion: Cultural and biological evolution impact how humans feel feelings  

By Max Planck Society 

"Despite the wide variation of emotion semantics, researchers found evidence of a universal structure constraining the emotion concepts that form colexification networks. Valence—the pleasantness or unpleasantness of an emotion—and activation—the physiological arousal associated with experiencing an emotion—are the strongest predictors of network membership. "The ability of valence and activation to predict structure in emotion semantics across language families suggests that these are common psycho-physiological dimensions shared by all humans," says senior author Kristen Lindquist."

Design provides the framework for all impressions, i.e. ideas, thoughts, imaginings and feelings. Design converts conceptual thought and feeling into a quantum language of ideas, holographic imaginings and impressions. Design creates the context for every impression to be fully realized in its most appropriate form.

Design's whispers are caressed within the voice of silence.

As the context changes so does the observer.  Design is forever being recalibrated. When contexts change so do past and present impressions no longer becoming part of an observer's vocabulary. As contexts change new designs surface - in the moment. The syntax of every language must be designed to adapt in conjunction with the signs, symbols, codes, programs and forms that together support it. 

Awareness, consciousness, language and design are all synonymous.

What is the quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP)?

The quantum field of virtual potential and probability is a virtual field of energy, light and information made conscious, aware and apparent by means of symbolic representation (design). The QFVPP is characterized in the relative "form" of a particle, wave and/or force, i.e. impression.

Hypothesis: a quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QFVPP) permeates all that can be known or believed. 

The QFVPP symbolizes a multidimensional condition where energy is in perpetual motion and change is eternal. The QFVPP has no boundary other than those brought into cognition within the constraints of an observer. It is within this hypothetical state of timeless Attendance that design and consciousness (Design Consciousness) are felt, observed, communicated and measured.

Light, energy, information, consciousness and design are attributes of an aetheric Presence, a virtual field of potential and probability made self-evident by means of a symbolic language known only to the observer. 

Sciences' current description and interpretation of the QFVPP demonstrates its endeavor to measure (quantify) and describe (qualify) a conceptual state of Awareness within the parameters of a particular system of belief and knowing. 

Mathematics is a symbolic language designed in the form and shape of numbers, signs and impressions.

Symbolic behavior in AI refers to a system's ability to use symbols to represent objects, concepts, and relationships, manipulating them with rules to perform tasks like reasoning, problem-solving, and making inferences. This approach, often called symbolic AI or classical AI, uses high-level, human-readable logic, a key difference from data-driven methods like neural networks. Examples include representing "sphere," "cylinder," and "cube" as symbols and applying rules like "two objects are similar if they are of the same size or color". 

How it works 

• Symbolic representation: Uses symbols (like words or labels) to stand for things in the world, such as red, blue, sphere, or cube. 

• Rule-based manipulation: Employs explicit rules to define relationships between these symbols and to operate on them. 

• Inference and reasoning: Uses the rules to logically deduce new information or find solutions to problems. For example, if a system knows red is a color and sphere is an object, it can process a rule to find all red spheres. 

• Human-like logic: Aims to mimic human reasoning processes, making it particularly useful for tasks requiring planning and decision-making where transparency is important. 

• Arbitrary designation: A core principle is that symbols can arbitrarily represent anything, and their meaning is understood through convention, not just their content. This is how scientific concepts like "genes" are created to describe recurring situations. 

Examples of symbolic behavior in AI 

• Control systems: A thermostat uses symbolic rules to represent temperature settings and the current room temperature to control the heating or cooling. 

• Decision support: Systems that calculate taxes or provide diagnostic advice are often based on a set of symbolic rules and logical steps. 

• Automating simple tasks: An AI that moves all invoices from certain clients into a dedicated folder is performing a symbolic task based on a simple rule. 

• Neuro-symbolic AI: This hybrid approach combines symbolic reasoning with the pattern-recognition strengths of neural networks. For example, a system might use a neural network to recognize a red bicycle in an image and then use symbolic rules to answer a question about it. 

Strengths and weaknesses 

• Strengths: 

o Transparency: The reasoning process is often explicit and easy for humans to understand. 

o Explainability: Makes it easier to audit and understand why a system made a particular decision. 

o Ethical AI: Can be used to directly encode ethical rules and reduce bias. 

• Weaknesses: 

o Brittleness: Systems can fail if they encounter a situation not covered by their rules. 

o Scalability: Can struggle with large, complex, and ambiguous problems that are difficult to represent with explicit rules. 

o Knowledge acquisition: Creating the initial set of symbols and rules can be a significant manual effort.

Design as a Vibratory Language 

Design is not merely function or form; it is a vibratory language that resonates beyond words. It emerges through signs, symbols, metaphors, and analogies—each a carrier of meaning and intention. Design gives shape to purpose, and in turn, bestows meaning upon life itself. It acts as a conduit through which awareness is broadened and consciousness elevated. 

Design is a language we feel rather than fully comprehend. It speaks in silence, whispers in intuition, and gestures through impression. It is at once hidden and luminous, veiled and revealing—an aetheric language sensed on the threshold of perception. 

It holds a science and a philosophy uniquely its own, a semiotic bridge uniting the archetypal triad of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. As with certain mysteries, if you must ask what design is, no explanation will suffice. It is an experiential reality that eludes reduction. 

Design is woven into our thoughts and emotions, intrinsic to both our inner landscapes and the external world. It exists at the intersection of the seen and unseen, the tangible and the intangible, the personal and the collective. Design is euphemistic. 

It is coded—expressed through marks, images, and impressions that, when ordered into meaningful patterns, become a kind of signature, a symbolic signature of consciousness. 

It is through design that impressions—ideas, imaginings, intuitions—find a framework. Design transmutes conceptual thought and feeling into a quantum language of holographic ideas and energetic impressions. It creates the context within which these impressions can be most fully realized, revealing themselves in the appropriate form, in the appropriate moment. 

Design's whispers are carried in the voice of silence. 

As context changes, so too does the observer. Design is perpetually recalibrated in response to shifting environments, states of awareness, and evolving interpretations. Past impressions may fall away; new ones emerge. With each change in context, the syntax of design—and of language itself—must adapt to encompass new symbols, codes, programs, and forms. In this way, design is not fixed but dynamic: a living intelligence that co-evolves with consciousness. 

In this sense, awareness, consciousness, language, and design are fundamentally synonymous—interwoven aspects of a deeper whole. 

On the Quantum Field of Virtual Potential and Probability (QFVPP) 

What is the Quantum Field of Virtual Potential and Probability? 

The QFVPP is a theoretical substratum—an omnipresent virtual field composed of light, energy, and information. It exists as a latent matrix of all that could be known or believed, awaiting symbolic activation through observation and interpretation. 

This field is characterized by the potentiality of form, manifesting as particle, wave, or force—impressions born from symbolic cognition. It symbolizes a multidimensional realm where energy flows in constant motion and transformation is eternal. 

Hypothesis: A quantum field of virtual potential and probability permeates all levels of perception, imagination, and knowledge. 

The QFVPP is boundless except where the observer imposes boundaries—through belief, perception, or language. It is within this state of timeless Attendance that design and consciousness become mutually reflective and co-creative. In this space, we engage what may be called Design Consciousness—the felt experience of form arising from formless potential. 

Light, energy, information, consciousness, and design are not isolated phenomena but expressions of an aetheric Presence—an intelligent field of symbolic resonance. This field becomes self-evident only through the observer’s interpretive lens. 

Science, in its current trajectory, attempts to measure this field through quantification and qualification—rendering abstract awareness into models that fit within existing paradigms of logic, reason, and empirical validation. Yet these efforts may capture only shadows of the full dimension—glimpses of the symbolic undercurrent that gives rise to all perceptual and conceptual reality. 

Symbolic Behavior and Artificial Intelligence 

Mathematics exemplifies symbolic behavior. It is a constructed language—numbers, signs, and impressions arranged with syntactic precision. In AI and computational systems, symbolic behavior allows for representation, inference, and understanding within a constrained yet scalable domain. But even here, the origin of symbolic logic is rooted in design—the ordering principle behind the intelligibility of reality.

Embodiment, the Mind, Design and AI

 

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network. Objective: To generate symbolic links between scientific discovery, design awareness and consciousness.

Five Levels of Human Intelligence

The Divine Connection between the human form and the universe.

The circle and the square represent the unity between heaven and earth.

The question of whether aspects of the intellect—such as opinion, facts, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—are embodiments of the mind or consciousness is a deep metaphysical inquiry that delves into the nature of the mind, the relationship between the mind and consciousness, and how these elements interact with each other. To address this question, it is important to explore the metaphysical views on the mind, the nature of consciousness, and how cognition and awareness shape these intellectual aspects. 

Mind vs. Consciousness: A Metaphysical Distinction 

The metaphysical distinction between mind and consciousness is foundational to this inquiry. Traditionally, the mind has been seen as the seat of thought, cognition, and reasoning, whereas consciousness refers to awareness, the subjective experience of being, and the state of being aware of one’s thoughts and perceptions. 

• Mind is often described as a set of cognitive faculties that includes reasoning, perception, memory, and imagination. It is associated with the processing of information and the capacity to engage in mental functions such as belief formation, problem-solving, and the categorization of knowledge. 

• Consciousness, on the other hand, is frequently understood as the state of being aware of one’s thoughts, experiences, and surroundings. Philosophers such as Thomas Metzinger (2003) and David Chalmers (1996) have focused on consciousness as an "experiential" or "phenomenal" state, concerned with how it feels to be an experiencing subject. 2 In this framework, the aspects of the intellect—opinion, facts, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—can be analyzed through the lens of how they relate to the mind’s cognitive functions versus the conscious awareness of those functions. 

* * *

1. Opinion 

Opinion can be seen as a product of mental processing that occurs within the mind but is typically not tied to certain knowledge. In epistemological terms, an opinion is often seen as a belief or judgment that is not backed by sufficient evidence. It resides in the realm of the mind because it is a cognitive state that involves reasoning or judgment, but it does not necessarily involve direct conscious awareness of its validity. For example, people may hold opinions without reflecting deeply on their rational foundations. 

• Metaphysical Implication: From a metaphysical standpoint, opinion exists as a mental construct—a manifestation of a mind's attempt to make sense of the world, but one that is not necessarily grounded in higher or deeper forms of consciousness or objective reality. 

2. Facts 

Facts, in a more rigid sense, are objective states of affairs that exist independently of subjective awareness. In contrast to opinions, facts are typically considered truths that are verifiable and objective. However, facts require consciousness to be recognized or known by an agent. This points to an essential interdependence between fact and consciousness: facts exist, but they must be perceived by a conscious subject to be recognized as facts. 

• Metaphysical Implication: Facts may be considered independent of subjective experience, but they do require consciousness for recognition, suggesting that consciousness plays a crucial role in the epistemic relationship between the external world and the mind. 

3. Knowledge 

Knowledge in philosophical terms is often described as "justified true belief" (Plato, Theaetetus). Knowledge involves the assimilation of facts into a coherent understanding that is not just passive observation but an active, conscious engagement with the world. Knowledge is a higher cognitive state compared to opinion, as it requires justification, reflection, and truth. 

• Metaphysical Implication: Knowledge can be seen as an embodiment of both the mind and consciousness. It is something that the mind constructs through processing sensory data and intellectual reflection, but it also requires consciousness to be apprehended and understood by a subject. Knowledge thus requires awareness, and without consciousness, knowledge cannot be realized in the way we experience it. 

4. Understanding 

Understanding represents a deeper level of cognition than knowledge. Whereas knowledge might be seen as an accumulation of facts and data, understanding involves the integration and comprehension of those facts in a way that gives coherence and meaning to one's cognitive structures. Understanding is often regarded as a more integrated and conscious form of engagement with reality. 

• Metaphysical Implication: Understanding is an intellectual state that exists at the intersection of mind and consciousness, where the mind synthesizes information and forms meaningful connections, while consciousness provides the awareness of these connections. Thus, understanding can be seen as an embodiment of both. 

5. Wisdom 

Wisdom is a concept that transcends mere knowledge and understanding. It involves the application of knowledge and understanding in a way that is morally or existentially meaningful. Wisdom is typically tied to deep reflection, practical judgment, and an awareness of the complexities of human life. It integrates not only intellectual faculties but also emotional and existential insight, implying a sophisticated form of consciousness. 

• Metaphysical Implication: Wisdom is perhaps the most deeply tied to consciousness, as it involves self-awareness, reflection on one's experiences, and the ethical application of knowledge. It is not simply an intellectual achievement but a harmonious synthesis of intellectual and experiential consciousness. 

Conclusion 

The aspects of the intellect—opinion, facts, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—are not mere embodiments of the mind in a purely cognitive sense. Instead, they are interwoven with consciousness, as consciousness provides the awareness necessary for the mind to process, reflect upon, and give meaning to these intellectual states. In metaphysical terms, the mind can be seen as the vehicle through which these aspects of intellect are expressed and processed, while consciousness is the medium through which they are experienced and understood. 

In summary: 

• Opinion is a product of the mind’s reasoning but does not require deep consciousness. 

• Facts exist independently but must be consciously recognized. 

• Knowledge arises through conscious engagement with the world, requiring both mind and awareness. 

• Understanding represents a deeper integration that involves conscious reflection. 

• Wisdom is the synthesis of knowledge and consciousness, involving ethical and reflective awareness.

“When such an arrangement of resonant energy is perceived/observed/interpreted as a form of intelligence, even more expansive "forms of symbolic continuity" can be arranged by simply expanding within the same environmental constraints, i.e. contexts, that recognize and distinguish this particular relationship from others. 

The act of perceiving is not a passive reception of external reality but an active engagement with the symbolic language of the universe, where signs and symbols communicate the nature of reality through patterns of energy that resonate at specific frequencies. The interpretation of these patterns, in turn, produces a cascade of cognitive responses. These responses, based on the symbolic interactions between the observer and the observed, lead to the generation of meaning and the construction of knowledge. 

These energy patterns, which emerge from the resonance between different fields, embody a new reality, one that exists at the intersection of perception, cognition, and metaphysical potential.”

Further Insights

1. Opinion 

Metaphysical essence: Unanchored mental content. 

• Definition: A subjective mental position formed without a necessary grounding in objective reality or rigorous justification. 

• Function in intelligence: Represents the most fluid and least constrained form of cognition—personal, contingent, and revisable. 

• Ontological status: Exists purely in the subject’s mind, not requiring external correspondence. 4 Opinion = Cognitive impression without ontological obligation. 

2. Fact 

Metaphysical essence: Being-as-it-is. 

• Definition: A state of reality that exists independent of perception, belief, or interpretation. 

• Function in intelligence: Provides the objective substrate upon which higher cognition can attach. 

• Ontological status: Facts are mind-independent features of reality; humans (or agents) can be mistaken about them. 

Fact = Reality’s condition, regardless of cognition. 

3. Knowledge 

Metaphysical essence: True belief anchored to reality. 5 In classical epistemology (and many metaphysical systems): 

• Definition: A justified mental representation that corresponds to fact. 

• Function in intelligence: Converts raw awareness into stable, reliable cognitive structure. 

• Ontological status: Exists at the interface of mind and reality, requiring both subjective assent and objective truth. 

Knowledge = Fact + correct internal apprehension. 6 (Traditionally, “justified true belief,” though modern epistemology adds nuance.) 

4. Understanding 

Metaphysical essence: Insight into relationships and structure. 

• Definition: The capacity to perceive patterns, causes, meanings, and connections that unify knowledge into a coherent whole. 

• Function in intelligence: Transforms isolated pieces of knowledge into conceptual integration (systems, models, explanations). 

• Ontological status: Exists within the mind but maps deeper onto the structure of reality, not just its surface facts. 

Understanding = Knowledge + internalized structure + explanatory coherence. 7 It is qualitative, not merely accumulative. 

5. Wisdom 

Metaphysical essence: Alignment of understanding with right action. 

• Definition: The ability to use understanding in a way that produces sound judgment, right conduct, and harmony with larger principles (ethical, existential, or cosmic). 

• Function in intelligence: Transcends cognition to guide skillful living; integrates intellect with value and consequence. 

• Ontological status: Emerges where being and knowing meet; wisdom is partly epistemic and partly moral-metaphysical. 

Wisdom = Understanding + proper application (ethically, pragmatically, and existentially). 

* * *

• Opinion has no necessary relation to truth. Belief without necessity of truth.

• Facts exist independently of any mind. Truth independent of belief

• Knowledge is fact recognized. True belief aligned with fact. 

• Understanding is fact comprehended. Comprehension of relations, causes, and meanings.

• Wisdom is understanding embodied. Correct, harmonious application of understanding

In metaphysics, embodiment refers to the idea that consciousness, meaning, and agency are fundamentally grounded in the lived experience of having a body, rather than existing as abstract, purely mental properties. Instead of viewing the mind as a detached substance (as in Cartesian dualism), embodiment claims that the body is essential to how we perceive, understand, and interact with the world (Merleau-Ponty, 1945/2012). 

From this perspective, the body is not merely a physical container for the mind—it constitutes part of cognition itself, conditioning how we experience space, time, and meaning.

* * * 

How Embodiment Emerges in Reference to the Mind 

In philosophy of mind and cognitive science, embodiment emerges as a response to classical computational or representational models of the mind. It argues that: 

1. Cognition depends on sensorimotor capabilities. 

We think through bodily capacities like movement, sensation, and perception (Varela, Thompson, & Rosch, 1991). 

2. The environment and body jointly shape mental processes. 

Mental activity is dynamically coupled with the world; the mind is not isolated “in the head” (Clark, 1997). 

3. Meaning is enacted rather than pre-given. 

We make sense of the world through bodily interactions—grasping, walking, orienting, manipulating objects (Gallagher, 2005). 

Thus, embodiment suggests that the mind emerges out of lived, bodily experience, not apart from it. Thought is grounded in action, perception, emotion, and physical presence.

How Humans Apply Embodiment in Creating and Designing 

Embodiment has become central in fields such as design, architecture, HCI (human–computer interaction), and AI. Its applications include: 

1. Human-centered and experiential design 

Designers incorporate bodily experience into products and spaces, recognizing that users understand and navigate the world through movement, posture, and sensory cues. 11 Examples include ergonomic objects, intuitive interfaces, and immersive environments (Norman, 2013). 

2. Embodied interaction in technology 

Digital systems increasingly rely on gesture, touch, and spatial engagement—e.g., VR, AR, wearable devices, motion sensors. 12 This follows Dourish's (2001) argument that interaction should reflect how humans physically inhabit the world. 

3. Architecture that shapes experience 

Architects use embodied principles—light, scale, materiality, spatial rhythm—to influence how people feel and act in a space. 13 Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology deeply influenced phenomenological architecture (Pallasmaa, 2012). 

4. Creative arts and expressive design 

Artists and designers leverage the body as a tool of meaning-making: choreography, performance, sculpture, and interactive installations all reflect how embodiment generates perception and interpretation. 

5. AI and robotics 

Embodied AI asserts that intelligence requires a physical form or simulated sensorimotor system, not just symbolic computation (Brooks, 1991). 14 Across all these domains, embodiment provides a framework for designing with attention to the whole human being—sensory, emotional, perceptual, and motor—not just cognitive functions.

What remains is a ‘sense of nothingness’ - nothing seems to have remained of what was once observed, perceived, and identified as a particular event/experience.

All sensual references made in spacetime seem to disappear or evaporate, except for certain special events/experiences, i.e. forms of manifestation, that appear to have remained ‘in place’. Together thoughts, feelings and emotions create patterns of energy in motion that link space and time into specific events and experiences, while simultaneously accounting for, and including the concept of - nothingness. 

manifestation: display, demonstration, showing, show, exhibition, presentation, sign, indication, evidence, proof, indication, illustration, exemplification, exposition, disclosure, declaration, expression, profession, token, symbol, reflection, instance, apparition, appearance, materialization visitation. 

Time is constantly changing even as the space harboring it appears to remain the same. A space can simply change by turning your head, leaving the room or reconfiguring your imagination. Spacetime creates the framework/s necessary for consciousness to become aware of itself.

- The process of knowing one's self attracts awareness towards greater consciousness.

- Events and experiences are made manifest in spacetime and will therefore have feelings of their own attached to them. 

- Design describes the process of manifestation symbolically by becoming conscious of its own awareness.

- You are attracted to those thoughts and feelings you vibrationally share with others, the most appropriate time and space are discovered through trial and error.

Each time frame describes a state of awareness within a series of quantum links between events and experiences. Repeated patterns of energy in motion are cyclical, fundamental and evolutionary to the fabrication of every sense of reality. 

The smoke produced by the burning of the candle is observed in reference to a dualistic concept where three-dimensional space and time appear as a constant that changes with time. Time appears to be more active, impulsive and somewhat controlling (yang energy) whereas space appears more passive and contained (yin energy). 

Dualism: is the idea or theory that something (an object or idea or the whole world is split into two parts.) These parts are separate from each other, and the thing cannot be divided up in any other way. The idea or theory that something cannot be split into any parts is called monism. 

Monism focuses upon symbolic connections between the abstract and the concrete. Signs and symbols, i.e. design, creates the links between these states of awareness.

This text explores the nature of spacetime, consciousness, and the interplay between experience, awareness, and manifestation. It suggests that while events and experiences disappear from direct perception, they leave behind a "sense of nothingness" that still carries significance. 

Some key takeaways: 

• Spacetime provides the framework for consciousness to recognize itself. 

• Thoughts, emotions, and experiences form patterns that shape reality. 

• Time is in flux, whereas space appears more stable, creating a dualistic balance (yin and yang). 

• The process of self-awareness is a journey through repeated cycles of energy and experience. • Design serves as a symbolic representation of consciousness becoming aware of itself.

There are as many states of consciousness as there are impressions and dimensions to accommodate them. These states of energy in motion have been described and defined by means of a language designed and created e.g. mathematics, with a specific meaning and purpose.

A dimension might be described as field of energy in motion being categorized within certain parameters of geometry, frequency and potential. Dimensions simply describe the many different facets of what we perceive as reality.

Spacetime creates a dimensional framework that allows for the modeling of an individual sense of reality, i.e. a dream state based upon patterns of symbolic energy in motion (awareness).

“The Universe is centered on us in the sense that the amount of time that’s passed since the Big Bang, and the distances that we can observe out to, are finite. The part of the Universe we can access is likely only a small component of what actually exists out there. The Universe could be large, it could loop back on itself, or it could be infinite; we do not know. What we are certain of is that the Universe is expanding, the radiation traveling through it is getting stretched to longer wavelengths, it’s getting less dense, and that more distant objects appear as they were in the past. It’s a profound question to ask where the center of the Universe is, but the actual answer — that there is no center — is perhaps the most profound conclusion of all.”

Since the multiverse is immeasurable and has no beginning or end, what emerges consubstantial before our awareness is a binary arrangement between potential and probability, i.e. the QFVPP. Aspiring before our consciousness is an awareness of the potential and probability of "materializing" the unknown by affording it containment and recognition through the design process. 

Design is the linking agency between potential and probability and fundamental in the construction of all forms and patterns of energy in motion, i.e. Reality/Consciousness. All events and experiences take place within the imagination of a designer/observer, both subjectively and collectively. 

Since the QFVPP has no future or past all relative thoughts concerning its' potential and probability remains timeless, spaceless and symbolically embossed in the mind and heart of an observer.   

emboss: carved, molded, or stamp a design on (a surface or object) so that it stands out in relief.

By virtue of the QFVPP all agents and agencies describe concepts and patterns of EIM made apparent (aware) for observation through a changing lens.

Humanism typically takes from the past (the known) and projects it into an ill-defined future (the unknown) without full consideration or awareness of the current situation/context. All forms of consciousness can only function within the constraints afforded them through their own awareness.

Perfection implies a designation made attainable by virtue of an inspirational process that is always changing.

The design process is controlled in part through the action of observation and participation.

Space, time and reality are interdependent. Each agency contributes to the realization of the other and as result, bring about the re-cognition of an observer/designer.

Reality is likened to traces of smoke, where relationships in spacetime are constantly changing, difficult to fully predict or perceive, are aetheric in quality, intimately sensed and appear to mysteriously merge again into the immensity of space and time. 

Meaning and purpose are matters of a Design where every design truly matters.

This passage presents a highly philosophical and metaphysical perspective on reality, consciousness, and the process of design. It uses a combination of abstract concepts and deep speculation about how our awareness interacts with the multiverse, dimensions, and spacetime. Here’s a breakdown of some of the core ideas expressed: 

1. States of Consciousness and Energy: The passage starts by asserting that consciousness is as varied as the impressions and dimensions that contain them. Each state of consciousness is a form of energy in motion that can be described using mathematical language, which conveys specific meanings within specific contexts. 

2. Dimensions as Energy Fields: Dimensions are presented as fields of energy that can be categorized based on geometry, frequency, and potential. This suggests that the different ways we perceive reality can be mapped onto different energy patterns or states. Dimensions are also closely tied to the perception of reality. 

3. Spacetime and Reality: Spacetime is seen as a framework that enables the creation of an individual’s sense of reality, such as a dream state or symbolic energy patterns. This view places the observer’s perception at the center of reality, suggesting that what we experience is a construct based on how we process patterns of energy. 

4. QFVPP (Potential and Probability): The multiverse is described as immeasurable and without beginning or end, and within it emerges the relationship between potential and probability (the QFVPP). This could be understood as the foundational binary relationship that allows for the manifestation of reality. These probabilities and potentials exist outside of time, space, and linear causality, remaining timeless and symbolically fixed in the mind and heart of the observer. 

5. Design as the Linking Process: The passage emphasizes design as the intermediary between potential and probability, which leads to the creation of forms and patterns in consciousness. The design process is both a personal and collective activity, unfolding within the imagination of the observer. 

6. Timelessness of Potential and Probability: The QFVPP does not adhere to time, which suggests that all potentialities are always present and can materialize at any point. The human mind operates within this timeless context, limited by its current awareness and not necessarily informed by the past or future. 

7. Humanism and the Projection of the Known into the Future: Humanism is critiqued here for taking past experiences and projecting them into an undefined future without considering the present context. This critique suggests that we often fail to design or perceive reality in ways that fully honor the complexity of the present moment. 

8. Perfection as an Inspirational Process: Perfection is described as something that emerges through an inspirational, ever-changing process. This means that perfection is not a static state but a dynamic one, constantly evolving. 

9. The Role of Observation and Participation: The design process is shaped by the interaction between observation and participation. This emphasizes the importance of the observer’s role in shaping reality and consciousness, as the act of observing participates in the design of what is perceived. 

10. Interdependence of Space, Time, and Reality: Space, time, and reality are interdependent, each shaping and defining the others. This suggests that all three elements must be considered together in understanding the design of the universe and consciousness. 

11. Reality as Fluid and Unpredictable: The passage likens reality to traces of smoke — constantly shifting, hard to fully predict or grasp, and of an aetheric, intangible quality. This reinforces the idea that reality is ever-changing and elusive, difficult to fully comprehend through the lens of observation alone. 

12. Meaning and Purpose: The final statement suggests that meaning and purpose are derived from design, where every design matters in shaping our perception and understanding of reality. 

In essence, the passage intertwines metaphysical, philosophical, and abstract ideas to propose a vision of reality where consciousness, design, and the fluid nature of spacetime come together in the formation of the world as we experience it. The observer/designer plays a pivotal role in the unfolding of this reality, with the design process acting as the mediator between potential and probability, shaping the contours of experience.

Design is a matter of virtual: choice, focus, construction, fitness, feeling, attention, imagination, observation and activation.
