The KHTK Factors (old)

Please see A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

Factor2

Scn Factor 1: Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of the Cause was the creation of effect.

KHTK Factor 1: At the bottom of all existence is a disturbance oscillating between awareness and non-awareness.

NOTE: Cause and effect form a dichotomy that is a part of awareness. Awareness itself is a part of a deeper dichotomy of awareness and non-awareness.

.

Scn Factor 2: In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is TO BE.

KHTK Factor 2: The interchanges between non-awareness and awareness give rise to dynamic beingness comprising existence.

NOTE: A transition from non-awareness to awareness appears as creation. Similarly, a transition from awareness to non-awareness appears as destruction. Such transitions give the appearance of awareness changing from one form to another. This is also called survival. Here beingness has the sense of “existingness.”

.

Scn Factor 3: The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint.

KHTK Factor 3: The dynamic beingness intrinsically consists of motion and awareness.

NOTE: All motion and awareness are part of the universal beingness. Motion and awareness are two sides of the same coin. When there is motion there is also awareness, and when there is awareness there is also motion. A viewpoint is the narrowing down of awareness, and may be looked upon as a unit of awareness of motion.

.

Scn Factor 4: The second action of beingness is to extend from the viewpoint, points to view, which are dimension points.

KHTK Factor 4: The beingness perceives its form as energy and matter.

NOTE: The beingness has a form made up of energy and matter, where matter is condensation of energy. The beingness is aware of its form.

.

Scn Factor 5: Thus there is space created, for the definition of space is: viewpoint of dimension. And the purpose of a dimension point is space and a point of view.

KHTK Factor 5: Perception separates beingness observed from beingness as observer. This brings about the phenomenon of SPACE.

NOTE: The perception, and the space across which perception takes place, is contained withing the beingness. Using Hubbard’s terminology, the dimension point, viewpoint and space shall all be part of beingness.

.

Scn Factor 6: The action of a dimension point is reaching and withdrawing.

KHTK Factor 6: The beingness changes by the time it perceives itself. This brings about the phenomenon of TIME.

NOTE: Beingness is dynamic so it changes while it perceives itself. Considering the beingness to be a wave of awareness, its wavelength may be looked upon as space and its period as time.

.

Scn Factor 7: And from the viewpoint to the dimension points there are connection and interchange. Thus new dimension points are made. Thus there is communication.

KHTK Factor 7: Space and Time are not absolute but transformable into each other. Thus the motion of the dynamic beingness is denoted by its frequency.

.

Scn Factor 8: And thus there is light.

KHTK Factor 8: The perception across space is denoted by light.

NOTE: The phenomena of perception and space appear to be closely related.

.

Scn Factor 9: And thus there is energy.

KHTK Factor 9: The frequency of beingness expresses energy.

NOTE: Here beingness means “existingness” that is composed of inherent recurring awareness.

.

Scn Factor 10: And thus there is life.

KHTK Factor 10: And thus there is life.

.

Scn Factor 11: But there are other viewpoints and these viewpoints outthrust points to view. And there comes about an interchange amongst viewpoints; but the interchange is never otherwise than in terms of exchanging dimension points.

KHTK Factor 11: Motion and awareness condense to gain individualized forms and qualities, which then combine to generate objects and identities. Motion condenses into atoms that combine to generate objects. Awareness condenses into viewpoints that combine to generate identities.

.

Scn Factor 12: The dimension point can be moved by the viewpoint, for the viewpoint, in addition to creative ability and consideration, possesses volition and potential independence of action; and the viewpoint, viewing dimension points, can change in relation to its own or other dimension points or viewpoints. Thus comes about all the fundamentals there are to motion.

KHTK Factor 12: Objects and identities develop capabilities to interact in complex ways. Objects, such as, cells, are capable of complex interactions. Identities, such as, self of organisms, are capable of complex computations.

.

Scn Factor 13: The dimension points are each and every one, whether large or small, solid. And they are solid solely because the viewpoints say they are solid.

KHTK Factor 13: Solidity of objects and identities, and of the complex interactions among them, comes from increasingly condensing patterns of motion and awareness.

.

Scn Factor 14: Many dimension points combine into larger gases, fluids or solids. Thus there is matter. But the most valued point is admiration, and admiration is so strong its absence alone permits persistence.

KHTK Factor 14: Patterns of motion combine to form the gaseous, fluid and solid states of matter. Patterns of awareness combine to form the various characteristics and abilities. The most important factor is consistency, for the absence of consistency alone brings about unwanted conditions.

.

Scn Factor 15: The dimension point can be different from other dimension points and thus can possess an individual quality. And many dimension points can possess a similar quality, and others can possess a similar quality unto themselves. Thus comes about the quality of classes of matter.

KHTK Factor 15: It is the differences and similarities among the characteristics of matter, and the abilities of organisms, that bring about the classes of beingness.

.

Scn Factor 16: The viewpoint can combine dimension points into forms and the forms can be simple or complex and can be at different distances from the viewpoints and so there can be combinations of form. And the forms are capable of motion and the viewpoints are capable of motion and so there can be motion of forms.

KHTK Factor 16: The patterns of motion and awareness become increasingly complex through interactions; and so we have atoms, cell structures, higher organisms, their characteristics and capabilities. 

Note: The viewpoints are a reflection of what is being viewed.

.

Scn Factor 17: And the opinion of the viewpoint regulates the consideration of the forms, their stillness or their motion, and these considerations consist of assignment of beauty or ugliness to the forms and these considerations alone are art.

KHTK Factor 17: All considerations, such as, stillness and motion, beauty and ugliness, are patterns of awareness built into the patterns of motions, and their interactions. They develop into a sense of “I” and opinions. 

.

Scn Factor 18: It is the opinions of the viewpoints that some of these forms should endure. Thus there is survival.

KHTK Factor 18: There is a continual change of beingness in its patterns of motion and awareness; but as some of these patterns endure in their forms and opinions there is survival.

.

Scn Factor 19: And the viewpoint can never perish; but the form can perish.

KHTK Factor 19: But even the patterns that endure in their forms and opinions, are bound to change eventually, as there is no underlying permanence.

NOTE: The form and viewpoint are reflection of each other. There is no absolute form or viewpoint independent of each other that can endure forever.

.

Scn Factor 20: And the many viewpoints, interacting, become dependent upon one another’s forms and do not choose to distinguish completely the ownership of dimension points and so comes about a dependency upon the dimension points and upon the other viewpoints.

KHTK Factor 20: All motion and awareness is interconnected. There is no absolute separation. Any sense of “I” and “ownership” is part of the manifestation of the complex patterns of motion and awareness. 

NOTE: Viewpoints are not “senior” or “junior” to the forms being viewed. Such opinions are simply a part of what is.

.

Scn Factor 21: From this comes a consistency of viewpoint of the interaction of dimension points and this, regulated, is TIME.

KHTK Factor 21: There is an inherent consistency in all motion and awareness.

NOTE: Any inconsistency in motion and awareness simply stands out. It fixes or disperses the attention.

.

Scn Factor 22: And there are universes.

KHTK Factor 22: The whole system of motion and awareness is the UNIVERSE. 

NOTE: In a literal sense, the word UNIVERSE means, “turned into one”. Thus multiple universes are simply subsets of an overall UNIVERSE.

.

Scn Factor 23: The universes, then, are three in number: the universe created by one viewpoint, the universe created by every other viewpoint, the universe created by the mutual action of viewpoints which is agreed to be upheld—the physical universe.

KHTK Factor 23: Separate universes may congeal within the UNIVERSE as the sense of “I” and ownership emerges; but they are still interconnected and never separate.

.

Scn Factor 24: And the viewpoints are never seen. And the viewpoints consider more and more that the dimension points are valuable. And the viewpoints try to become the anchor points and forget that they can create more points and space and forms. Thus comes about scarcity. And the dimension points can perish and so the viewpoints assume that they, too, can perish.

KHTK Factor 24: The sense of “I” and ownership brings about attachments, which create a sense of scarcity and potential loss.

.

Scn Factor 25: Thus comes about death.

KHTK Factor 25: Thus comes about death.

.

Scn Factor 26: The manifestations of pleasure and pain, of thought, emotion and effort, of thinking, of sensation, of affinity, reality, communication, of behavior and being are thus derived and the riddles of our universe are apparently contained and answered herein.

KHTK Factor 26: Pleasure and pain, thought, emotion, effort, thinking, sensation, affinity, reality, communication, behavior and being are all manifestations of these factors.

.

Scn Factor 27: There is beingness, but man believes there is only becomingness.

KHTK Factor 27: Fundamentally, all these manifestations are a continual interplay of awareness and non-awareness; but the attachments to them brings about a desire for permanency where there can be no permanency.

.

Scn Factor 28: The resolution of any problem posed hereby is the establishment of viewpoints and dimension points, the betterment of condition and concourse amongst dimension points, and, thereby, viewpoints, and the remedy of abundance or scarcity in all things, pleasant or ugly, by the rehabilitation of the ability of the viewpoint to assume points of view and create and uncreate, neglect, start, change and stop dimension points of any kind at the determinism of the viewpoint. Certainty in all three universes must be regained, for certainty, not data, is knowledge.

KHTK Factor 28: The resolution of any problem posed hereby lies in seeing things as they are, spotting of the inconsistencies as they present themselves, and resolving them through the practice of mindfulness.

.

Scn Factor 29: In the opinion of the viewpoint, any beingness, any thing, is better than no thing, any effect is better than no effect, any universe better than no universe, any particle better than no particle, but the particle of admiration is best of all.

KHTK Factor 29: There is inherently a relative consistency in all manifestations arising from the continual interplay of awareness and non-awareness; and nothing is ever absolute.

.

Scn Factor 30: And above these things there might be speculation only. And below these things there is the playing of the game. But these things which are written here man can experience and know. And some may care to teach these things and some may care to use them to assist those in distress and some may desire to employ them to make individuals and organizations more able and so give to Earth a culture of which we can be proud.

KHTK Factor 30: Thus we have an eternal stage that stages its own plays eternally.

Another View of the Universe (old)

RTEmagicC_Riazuelo_03_txdam50006731_9dd4e4

(The following are conjectures based on the Disturbance Theory of Light.)

From “The Tao of Physics”

To have a better idea of the way in which the universe expands, we have to remember that the proper framework for studying its large-scale features is Einstein’s general theory of relativity. According to this theory, space is not ‘flat’, but is ‘curved’, and the precise way in which it is curved is related to the distribution of matter by Einstein’s field equations. These equations can be used to determine the structure of the universe as a whole; they are the starting point of modern cosmology.

Outer edge of the universe is made up of the lowest frequency of disturbance. As one moves through the universe, the frequency changes to make the disturbance appear as energy, electrons, atoms, etc., all the way up to stars, planets and galaxies.

Space and time basically describe the wavelength and period of the disturbance (awareness or light). Together space-time describes the frequency of the disturbance along with its characteristic wavelength and period.

Frequency of disturbance seems to determine the curvature of its path. As frequency increases, the curvature of the path also increases. The direction of curvature may determine the charge of the light after the frequency crosses a certain threshold. The disturbances then curves upon itself. Here is the region of electron.

As the frequency continues to increase the disturbance continues to condense into smaller region. When the frequency crosses another threshold, we have the region of the nucleus. This transition of electronic to nuclear region needs to be investigated.

Other fundamental particles appear only when atoms are made to disintegrate through collisions. But such particles are high frequency disturbances curving upon themselves. They are stable only to the degree that their frequencies are able to form “standing wave” type configurations within themselves.

Space that seems to form the background is apparently made up of disturbances of lowest frequencies. Beyond that there seem to be absence of disturbance, or non-awareness.

There seems to be negative disturbance levels that describe the gradients of non-awareness. The disturbance level zero may act as a threshold where non-awareness transitions into awareness.

.

From “The Tao of Physics”

According to the physicist and and philosopher Ernst Mach, the inertia of a material object – the object’s resistance against being accelerated – is not an intrinsic property of matter, but a measure of its interaction with all the rest of the universe. In Mach’s view, matter only has inertia because there is other matter in the universe. When a body rotates, its inertia produces centrifugal forces…, but these forces appear only because the body rotates ‘relative to the fixed stars’, as Mach has put it. If those fixed stars were suddenly to disappear, the inertia and the centrifugal forces of the rotating body would disappear with them.

Per relativity, the higher frequencies of disturbance are relative to the lower frequencies. Matter consists of these higher frequencies. Since the surrounding environment consists of lower frequencies matter can develop relative to it, without requiring other matter in its environment.

It is the higher frequencies of matter that curve within themselves. They reinforce themselves in that rotation and resist moving in any other direction. This is the cause of inertia.

This model shows that inertia is an intrinsic property of matter and it does not depend on other matter in the universe as Mach hypothesized.

Another Look at Relativity

Albert Einstein (SUBMITTED PHOTO)

The limitation of the theory of relativity is that it is matter-centric. It uses a frame of reference attached to matter. From this frame of reference, the theory of relativity looks at the speed of light, and assumes it to be constant since any variations are undetectable.

In matter-centric view, the speed is being measured with absolute notions of space and time. The movement of a disturbance, such as sound, is very different from the movement of matter. When sound travels through a material medium there is no net movement of matter particles. The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium.

Light seems to be a disturbance in a field like medium. This medium, when disturbed, appears to have electrical and magnetic properties on which the speed of light depends. Thus light is a different phenomenon than matter and their respective “speeds” are not measuring the same parameter.

Light is energy. Its motion has a frequency, period and wavelength. Period and wavelength are expressed in the dimensions of time and space respectively. Per the theory of relativity time and space are not absolute but transformable into each other.

Since there is no absolute space or time the composite dimension of space-time seems to represent motion of light in terms of its frequency.

Light then exists over a large spectrum of frequencies in the dimension of space-time. Matter is likely to appear at the high frequency end of this spectrum because light seems to condense as its frequency increases.

Relative motion of any two points on this spectrum may be compared in terms of their frequencies. We know that the speed of light is many orders of magnitudes higher than the speeds associated with matter. Therefore, the relative motion seems to slow down as frequency increases.

The frequency of material objects may be calculated per de Broglie’s equation. The relativity of motion in terms of frequency is more appropriate as it is measuring the same parameter.

The Disturbance Theory of Light uses a frame of reference of space-time in terms of the frequency spectrum associated with energy and matter. Disturbance level zero (frequency of 2^0 or 1) acts as the reference point. The disturbance levels are based on the frequency of energy and matter expressed as powers of 2. Space-time relativity is calculated in terms of disturbance levels instead of velocities. Based on this frame of reference the radio waves are expected to travel faster, and X-rays slower than the speed of visible light.

Here we see matter simply as a disturbance of very high frequency and much slower “speed”. The Disturbance Theory of Light opens the door to the investigation of the “speed” of light as a function of its frequency.

.

Here are some conjectures that needs to be investigated:

(1) Light seems to follow a curved path whose radius seems to depend on its frequency. The higher is the frequency, the smaller seems to be the radius of the path.

(2) The increased curvature of the path seems to make the speed appear slower.

(3) Very high frequencies are likely to make the radiation curve upon itself making the net speed appear zero.

(4) Extremely high frequencies seems to be involved in the formation of the nucleus of an atom. Relatively lesser frequencies shall form the electronic shells around the nucleus.

(5) Radii of electronic shells exhibit quantum properties since whole numbers of wavelengths must be accommodated in the surface area of the shells.

(6) The frequency of incident light must match the frequency of the electronic shells of the atom in some way to knock out electrons from the atom.

(7) Electrons do not exists as such in the electronic shells of an atom. They are formed only when some interaction occurs.

(8) It appears that wave-like motion displays particle-like properties only when frequency-based interaction takes place. An example of this is a standing wave. It is similar to vapor condensing into water.

(9) It may be said that the photoelectric effect condenses electromagnetic waves into electrons through some frequency-based interaction.

A New Look at Space-Time

shiva-hindu-god

The most basic concepts used to define reality are matter, energy, space and time. Space and time are thought to form the background in which matter exists and energy acts. Modern physics finds such conceptualization to be inadequate.

Per “The Tao of Physics”,

Modern physics has confirmed most dramatically one of the basic ideas of Eastern mysticism; that all the concepts we use to describe nature are limited, that they are not features of reality, as we tend to believe, but creations of the mind; parts of the map, not of the territory. Whenever we expand the realm of our experience, the limitations of our rational mind become apparent and we have to modify, or even abandon, some of our concepts.

In light of the progress made by the relativistic view of modern physics, the concepts of matter, energy, space and time can be improved upon to describe the experience of reality more closely. The broadest view of matter, energy, space and time is that these elements bring about awareness. This awareness then appears against the background of non-awareness.

We may postulate a cosmic disturbance that oscillates between awareness and non-awareness. The transition from non-awareness to awareness appears as creation. The transition from awareness back to non-awareness appears as destruction. In between we have the survival of awareness as matter, energy, space and time.

Since they represent awareness, space and time are in the foreground along with matter and energy. The background is made up of non-awareness. Space and time act as the parameters of matter and energy. In the absence of matter and energy, space and time are absent as well.

.

From “The Tao of Physics”,

Our notions of space and time figure prominently on our map of reality. They serve to order things and events in our environment and are therefore of paramount importance not only in our everyday life, but also in our attempts to understand nature through science and philosophy. There is no law of physics which does not require the concepts of space and time for its formulation. The profound. modification of these basic concepts brought about by relativity theory was therefore one of the greatest revolutions in the history of science.

Awareness is part of a periodic disturbance and, therefore, it is always changing. Any specific awareness is very likely a complex combination of periodic disturbances of different frequencies.

A periodic disturbance have the characteristics of frequency, period and wavelength. The period is the interval in which the disturbance advances by a wavelength. The frequency is how many times this advance occurs in some “standard” interval. From the viewpoint of relativity there is no such “standard” interval.

Period and wavelength are expressed through the dimensions of time and space respectively. They are complementary notions that describe the periodic disturbance as frequency.  Therefore, frequency seems to establish the relativity in the combined dimension of space-time. 

.

From “The Tao of Physics”,

Classical physics was based on the notion both of an absolute, three-dimensional space, independent of the material objects it contains, and obeying the laws of Euclidean geometry, and of time as a separate dimension which again is absolute and flows at an even rate, independent of the material world. In the West, these notions of space and time were so deeply rooted in the minds of philosophers and scientists that they were taken as true and unquestioned properties of nature.

Time and space describe the awareness of energy and matter. They are not independent of this awareness of energy and matter. Thus there is no interval, and no geometry, that acts as absolute and independent basis for time and space. Defining space on the basis of Euclidean geometry is as arbitrary as the defining earth as flat. The theory of relativity correctly looks at space and time to be transformable into each other.

Similarly, the theory of relativity correctly looks at energy and matter to be transformable into each other. It appears that as the frequency of disturbance increases energy condenses into matter.

.

From “The Tao of Physics”,

The belief that geometry is inherent in nature, rather than part of the framework we use to describe nature, has its origin in Greek thought. Demonstrative geometry was the central feature of Greek mathematics and had a profound influence on Greek philosophy. Its method of starting from unquestioned axioms, and deriving theorems from these by deductive reasoning, became characteristic of Greek philosophical thought; geometry was therefore at the very centre of all intellectual activities and formed the basis of philosophical training. The gate of Plato’s Academy in Athens is said to have borne the inscription, ‘You are not allowed to enter here, unless you know geometry.’ The Greeks believed that their mathematical theorems were expressions of eternal and exact truths about the real world, and that geometrical shapes were manifestations of absolute beauty. Geometry was considered to be the perfect combination of logic and beauty and was thus believed to be of divine origin. Hence Plato’s dictum, ‘God is a geometer.’

Space and time are then parameters whose basis lies in the forms of energy and matter. Any geometry is simply an idealization of forms, which do not necessarily exist in reality. The logic that is implied through the axioms of geometry is an idealization too that does not fully reflect the reality.

This raises questions about the absolute nature of our system of logic. We come to the realization that the logic we use is not inherent in nature. Though the system of logic is consistent in itself, it is more of an idealization where reality is concerned.

.

From “The Tao of Physics”,

Since geometry was seen as the revelation of God, it was obvious to the Greeks that the heavens should exhibit perfect geometrical shapes. This meant that the heavenly bodies had to move in circles. To present the picture as being even more geometrical they were thought to be fixed to a series of concentric crystalline spheres which moved as a whole, with the Earth at the centre. In subsequent centuries, Greek geometry continued to exert a strong influence on Western philosophy and science. Euclid’s Elements was a standard textbook in European schools until the beginning of this century, and Euclidean geometry was taken to be the true nature of space for more than two thousand years. It took an Einstein to make scientists and philosophers realize that geometry is not inherent in nature, but is imposed upon it by the mind.

In this system of idealized logic, one’s subjective sense of “I” that is observing the reality leads to the conclusion that “I” is separate from reality. This provides the basis for the idea that spirit is separate from matter. This idea then develops into the belief that God is pure awareness that exists independent of the Universe.

The experimental observations of Quantum mechanics brings the above logic into question. It forces us to look at the sense of “I” as not something absolute, but as the product of the process of observation. The sense of “I” as an observer is there but it is also a part of the reality. The objects that are being observed are part of that reality too. Thus, in a broader sense, it is reality observing itself. Underlying the process of observation there is the sense of separation; but, per modern observations, this separation is never absolute. Thus everything in this Universe is more or less interconnected. The whole reality is ultimately one.

As covered above, awareness consists of space and time that describe matter and energy. Thus awareness is part of reality, and not separate from reality even when it appears to be so. Thus, spirit and matter are not really separable in some absolute sense. It is now increasingly becoming obvious that God is the very essence of nature, and not a “Being” or beingness that is separate from nature.
