Constant change and the perception of exploration
I find that my life is an explorative adventure.
I explore not just the external world. But the internal world.
I explore the platonic world that could be seen to be outside of both this external and internal world.
The platonic world is independent of the internal world.
I feel, I should define the building blocks of this thinking out loud monologue to make things less ambiguous. Defining the internal world as the perceived world or mental world. This is more complicated than it may sound. It is not independent of the external world. The external world being defined as a physical world that exists independent of perception. To some degree this is a philosophical discussion where there is degrees of arbitrarity or bias in the way we reason about this. Us reasoning about is involves cognition and mental processes such as awareness and neurophysiological interaction of the physical external world as input. There are further questions that needs to be considered.
Where does thought or mental processes begin (both physically or metaphysically) and end for example?
Here we can take aspects of physics into consideration such as causality and the constraints of which to events in space-time can actually be causally linked.
But the physical reality of the interdependency of "levels" of the world (the external, the internal and the platonic).
This way of investigating the world is not new at all. In fact my recent thoughts in the matter is inspired by the perspective illustrated in Roger Penrose work - "The Road to Reality", where in the beginning chapter he goes into a closed loop of perspectives of the world and their connection and what this might mean in exploring the mathematical reality of the Universe.
It is very insightful of him to consider this structure. To take a step back and acknowledge the process of stepping back as a vital part of the evolution of knowing and understanding the external world and how these processes relate from a meta-level.
Anyhow. I find my life path, and perhaps many other people, is very much influenced by how we communicate and perceive our selves. And also how much ve are able to step back and change course or adjust course when needed or not. This realisation is in itself at yet another level of stepping back and is to some degree part of being more aware of the world in several of its forms.
What then can I do with this?
What do I want to do with it?
There is a lot of assumptions implicit to this discourse.
I accept that right now with out the inclination to clarify these or resolve dilemmas that may follow.
I find myself open, curious, motivated and driven to explore to discover truth of mathematics and physics.
Not necessarily of social normative relevance in the external social world.
But what rings relevant to me as a being emotionally and spiritually.
This does not mean that this could be translated into actual mathematical results that have theoretical applications in math and physics that are considered relevant to others within these fields.
However, as a personal, principle, I like the idea of being true to my instincts of how I feel I relate to these topics. Perhaps more like an artist is my ideal. Maybe this comes from being creative within music.
But likely, it is part of who I am and became growing up and perhaps to some degree something I was born to be.
