Evolution of the Universe in an Infinite Space

Authors: Thomas Bradley
Comments: 6 Pages.

This hypothesis considers the current universe to be a result of evolution in an infinite data space. The laws and properties of the universe are explained in terms of their function as evolutionary products. There is evidence for this hypothesis in the form of error correcting codes (see section 2.4).

Inadequacy of Classical Logic in Classical Harmonic Oscillator and the Principle of Superposition

Authors: Abhishek Majhi, Ramkumar Radhakrishnan
Comments: 14 Pages.

In course of the development of modern science, inadequacy of classical logic and Eastern philosophy have generally been associated only with quantum mechanics in particular, notably by Schroedinger, Finkelstein and Zeilinger among others. Our motive is to showcase a deviation from this prototypical association. So, we consider the equation of motion of a classical harmonic oscillator, and demonstrate how our habit of writing the general solution, by applying the principle of superposition, can not be explained by remaining within the bounds of classical logic. The law of identity gets violated. The law of non-contradiction and the law of excluded middle fail to hold strictly throughout the whole process of reasoning consequently leading to a decision problem where we can not decide whether these two `laws' hold or not. We discuss how we, by habit, apply our intuition to write down the general solution. Such intuitive steps of reasoning, if formalized in terms of propositions, result in a manifestation of the inadequacy of classical logic. In view of our discussion, we conclude that the middle way ({\it Mulamadhyamakakarika}), a feature of Eastern philosophy, founds the basis of human reasoning. The essence of the middle way can be realized through self-inquiry ({\it Atmavichar}), another crucial feature of Eastern philosophy, which however is exemplified by our exposition of the concerned problem. From the Western point of view, our work showcases an example of Hilbert's axiomatic approach to deal with the principle of superposition in the context of the classical harmonic oscillator. In the process, it becomes a manifestation of Brouwer's views concerning the role of intuition in human reasoning and inadequacy of classical logic which were very much influenced by, if not founded upon, Eastern philosophy.

Essence of Mevlana’s Wisdom

Authors: Özgen Ersan
Comments: 7 Pages. An essay for "Humanity 4.0"

While the organism called human lives in accordance with the program and operation of nature, it has been differentiated from other organisms due to the mind and spiritual activities articulated; however, it remained within a conventional framework. A small number of people who were promoted to the "universal self" were able to emerge, overcoming this widespread state defined as "human selfness" in Mevlana's teaching. Mevlana wisdom describes transcendent human activities at higher levels of existence, accompanied by religious discourses. By distilling this essence, it should be aimed to emphasize the definition of "universal selfness" and to be aware and internalized by the people of the information age, and now transfer the "human 4.0" stage.
