FOREWORD & INTRODUCTION
FOREWORD by John E. Brandenburg, Ph.D., Plasma physicist
Let the
readers prepare themselves for an epic intellectual journey down the spiral
staircase of time and space, to its very cosmic origins. Chris Hardy has shown
herself to be an original thinker of historic brilliance in unifying the
metaphysical requirements of quantum mechanics with the properties of the
primordial singularity required by General Relativity, all in the first instant
of creation. The results of this conceptual unification are original, profound,
and world-view altering.
Physics is
normally about measurements, and metaphysics is about meanings, but both must
come together when Schrodinger’s cylinder is opened, and where the cat is
discovered to be alive or dead.
Obviously,
the Cosmic Cat was alive and sprang forth purring! This fact of the conscious
mind collapsing the wave function, has always been understood as mandating a
role of consciousness in quantum mechanics. Some have even extended this
logically to ask the role of consciousness in the Big Bang. They ask, if the
Big Bang was in fact the collapse of a cosmic wave function, then what consciousness
caused this collapse, and what did it learn? Now Chris Hardy has found this act
of consciousness: it was an evolution in an extra dimension of the spacetime
manifold.
Chris
Hardy follows in the footsteps of many scientists in invoking a hyperdimensional
cosmos, but where the ISS theory blazes a new path is in including
consciousness and meaning in this hyper-dimensionality and further—to me as scientist, most
significantly—by hypothesizing a signature of this new degree of freedom, a
truly ground-breaking concept.
The
existence of this ‘dimension of significance and meaning’ or
‘syg-metadimension’ changes the evolution of the universe from the vacuum, like
the existence of any new degree of freedom changes the evolution of any system.
However, in this case the existence of this hyperdimension of consciousness is
fundamental to the evolution of the universe we experience now, all the way
from its earliest moments before the Big Bang.
Chris Hardy
has identified the signature of this new degree of freedom, the ‘sign of its
existence,’ as a primordial field of
collective cosmic consciousness, imprinted in all forms and structures of
matter now found in the universe, from the particles to the stars, in a compact
and curled-up hyperdimension. She has also traced this signature back to the
earliest phases of the primordial universe, dominating its physics well before
the Big Bang, even before space, time, and the first particles came into being.
Curiously, the imprint Chris Hardy has found is hidden in the types of physics
most often studied. But this fact makes her discovery all the more remarkable
and brilliant. She has deduced the existence of this cosmic metadimension of
consciousness from her two decades long research that posited semantic or syg
fields, an extra dimension of minds and all complex systems.
The post Big
Bang physics is now well known from precise measurements of the abundance of
the primordial elements and from the WMAP data of the Cosmic Background
Radiation showing minute fluctuations and ripples in this microwave relic
radiation lingering about 270 000 years after the Big Bang but issued from
the first seconds. This data gives the astonishing result that, except for some
isotopes of lithium, everything that is measured requires that
“the-physics-we-know,” was well established by the first second of the
universe’s existence, and that before this was an “inflationary phase” of
spectacular growth. However, we know that even before this epoch that sees the
emergence of space, time and the first particles, this “physics-we-know” breaks
down and another physics entirely, takes over. This pre-Big Bang physics,
dealing with information and something else than matter and matter-energy is
the Big Mystery, the open question. So the challenge that systems theorist
Chris Hardy has taken up, was to find the dynamics of the process that both
sparked the universe, expanded it, and then determined its present physics. The
imprint of that process, the actual signature of this extra degree of freedom,
that surrounds and permeates us even now: she has found it.
The
signature of the cosmic semantic field, this hyperdimension, is a dynamical
geometric pattern, self-generating and imbued with consciousness, and it
suggests that the origin of the universe was not a random event, but an act of
conscious logic. That is, the universe did not begin with a violent and random
explosion, this is only the physics we presently understand. What the reader will
see, laid out in compelling logic, is that the cosmos began with an idea.
So read on
my friend, and drink deeply of the fine wine Chris Hardy has now poured into
your glass and offered you. It is a new and memorable wine, an excellent
vintage. The world, the whole cosmos, will never look the same once you have
tasted it.

INTRODUCTION
When I started to tackle the dimension of consciousness at the
origin, I had no idea that it would take me into a full blown hyperdimensional
theory of the universe—one that addresses not only the beginning of our
universe, but also the ‘deep reality’ of all particles and matter-systems, and
of course of all individual consciousnesses.
For the last twenty years,
I’ve been elaborating a theory of nonlocal consciousness, that is, consciousness
operating on its own meaningful or semantic
dimension. This Semantic Fields Theory (SFT) posed that consciousness was
indeed an energy in and of itself, of an unknown nature, that I called syg energy; this energy was creating
connections at a distance spontaneously, and therefore it was operating in a
nonlocal way, neither bound by space and time, nor to the laws of EM fields. In
SFT, I used the frameworks of chaos theory, systems theory and neural nets in
order to account for the mind as a dynamical network—a semantic field—an intelligent system able to learn and to
reorganize itself according to its own intention and free-will. This network,
in sync with body and emotions, is able to connect all levels of the
‘mind-body-psyche’ system between them, all the way down to the neuronal level.
The mind as a semantic field is also able to spontaneously connect and exchange
information at a distance with other minds, other semantic fields.
Moreover, all the living and complex systems in the environment
(and even what we thought was ‘inert matter’ such as a lake or a mountain),
have eco-semantic fields (in short, eco-fields). The whole of nature and the
universe is thus bathing in a consciousness dimension fueled by syg energy.
In Networks of Meaning,
I had analyzed in depth the architecture and network-dynamics of the human
semantic field (and the connective syg energy) to make of SFT an enlarged
cognitive theory, modeling also the mind-world interactions. While postulating
the energy of consciousness, syg energy, as nonlocal, I had sorted out that it
operates through bonding, resonance, and sympathy with others and the
environment.
The present Infinite Spiral
Staircase theory is building on this previous research on the semantic dimension, but reaches out to
fathom the universe at its very beginning. I hypothesize that the semantic
dimension and syg energy existed in the universe right at its origin, long
before the Big Bang, as a hyperdimension that is still pervading the universe.
The revolutionary thesis of this book is that entirely different
forces prevail at the origin of the universe; specific laws of organization and
dynamics exist, wildly different from the quantum and then electro-magnetic
laws that will appear later in our 4D universe. Indeed, there exists an energy
threshold called the Planck scale,
and it’s only after the Planck time,
when the universe was an infinitesimal fraction of a second old, that the first
energy-particles could be born in the Higgs field. Physicists infer that before
this Planck scale, there were no particles and therefore no matter (nor was
there any electro-magnetic force, strong force, weak force), and that no time
and no space had formed yet. And nevertheless the primordial universe had a
gigantic energy, despite the fact that we are still, at Planck scale, an
immense time before the Big Bang or inflation phase.
So that, if (1) there was an immense energy, and if (2) there were no particles and no matter, then it had to be a non-matter
energy. And given (3) that there were no time and no space yet, then I
thought I knew what this energy was: it was consciousness-as-energy—the very syg energy that I had posited and
researched in depth since more than two decades.
However, as I finally understood it, syg energy was not the only
force organizing the primeval universe: two other forces were involved in
shaping its dynamics and architecture. All three were woven into a triune braid
forming one hyperdimension (the 5th dimension) that was encompassing
the matter-universe (the classical 3+1D spacetime of Einstein). The triune
hyperdimension consisted of three enmeshed ‘metadimensions’ or ‘metadims’:
o Syg metadim (syg for letter S sigma in Greek): the
semantic dimension operating with syg energy (or S).
o A hyperspace created by number Pi creating a
circle out of the point/center, called Center metadim (or C).
o A hypertime created by a cyclical rotation in a
spiral based on the phi ratio (the golden proportion) and that I call Rhythm
metadim (or R).
The three metadims form the CSR
hyperdimension (Center-Syg-Rhythm). The hyperspace and hypertime are
entwined with Syg metadim (the semantic dimension) to
create the triune braid that takes
the shape of a near-infinite spiral staircase issuing from the point of origin.
Metadim Center creates the primordial spiral of the origin by
incrementing at a blinding speed the radius of the universe by the phi ratio
and drawing the next quarter circle or ‘bow’ of the golden spiral.
Metadim Rhythm jumps in frequency at each bow and vibrates, thus
creating a staircase of frequencies. Each bow ejects, like an arrow, a virtual
particle called a sygon, prefiguring
the strings-particles appearing after Planck scale.
Thus we have a dynamic and self-propelled geometry—a topology
driven by a specific rhythm in a spiraling progression, and the whole staircase
is in-formed and inspired by a cosmic field of information and a conscious
collective intelligence (Syg metadim).
The infinite spiral staircase (or ISS) thus contains a
near-infinite number of distinct frequencies, like musical tones, that are also
the frequencies of the virtual particles: the sygons. But these frequencies,
because they are entwined in a braid with Syg metadim, are loaded with meaning
and alive active information.
This ISS theory hypothesizes that the infinite spiral staircase is containing, on its infinite number of
bow-frequencies, the information about all the systems and civilizations that
evolved in parent universes and all possibilities of evolution of our universe:
it is a Cosmic DNA.
So, the dynamical topology of the early universe issuing from the
point of origin shows two numbers, Pi and Phi, enmeshed in the cosmic
consciousness of the self-creating universe. Thereafter, in our 13.7 billion
years old universe, evolving in spacetime, all information about its evolution
is inscribed in a synchronistic and instantaneous score on some of the ISS
bows, thus creating an ongoing evolving melody for each given system (such as a
solar system or humanity on Earth).
So how did I myself make the leap from a theory of semantic fields
in cognitive sciences to a theory of deep reality before the Big Bang, as a
hyperdimension of all-that-is—of all particles, matter, and systems, including
living beings and minds?
There are a few reasons, let me share some with you.
The first and foremost is the deep intertwining of mind with
matter, that I had posed and developed at the very beginning of my research on
SFT (in the early nineties). I’ve always been convinced, mostly by my capacity
to ‘see’ the syg-energy fields on individuals, groups, and specifically objects
and sacred buildings (as I discuss it in The
Sacred Network) that consciousness is an energy in itself. It’s not an
information carried by a carrier wave (such as conversations on a cell phone’s
microwaves), but a specific type of energy that is itself finely tuned and
imbued with meaning and thoughts. Syg energy is thus a concept similar to
psychologist Carl Jung’s psychic energy
and to physicist David Bohm’s active
information. Syg energy, I posed, pervades the universe and influences the
organization of matter, of systems, and the world at large. And yet, all minds
use it and activate it, and it is itself modulated and colored by the
psychological state, emotions, thoughts, values, beliefs, etc. In brief, syg
energy is colored by the actual state of the person’s semantic field.
So, if mind and matter/energy are so entwined that an energy of
consciousness exists and is able to organize complex systems, then what kind of
scientists could tackle the theory? Physicists who may know very little about
the dynamics of consciousness? Or cognitive and systems scientists who may know
very little about physics? Obviously both should try to bridge the gap, as it
occurred with the famous collaboration of physicist Wolfgang Pauli and
psychologist Carl Jung, both eminent theorists in their respective fields. The
researchers willing to elaborate a candidate theory should propose foundations
and dynamics across dimensions, but the onus is on them to sort out the
pertinent forces and dynamics within the consciousness domain.
Thus, the crucial problem that such a hyperdimensional theory has
to solve is to explain how and why meaning, intention, and free will are real
forces able to influence events in the world. It is not enough to state that
desire and intention (or need, or focus, etc.) will bend random events toward
the desired state, as has been experimentally proven, or else that mind and
matter are entangled. What we need a theory to explain is why such
psychological factors (such as intention or meditation) are having an influence
on events, and on what foundations and dynamics lies the mind-matter
entanglement. As far as I’m concerned, in the mid-nineties I’ve posed the
processes and parameters of this entanglement in the mind-body-psyche system,
and as well between a mind and the environment’s eco-fields, and since then I
have strenuously kept on extending this SFT theory. As highlighted by Jung,
Bohm, and Brian Josephson, meaning (as an ‘I’ or 1st person perspective) is central to this mind-matter
entanglement. This is why I call ‘semantic’ (or syg) the energy of
consciousness, from the Greek root referring to ‘giving meaning to something.’
Syg energy is what allows us to live in a meaningful environment.
Second, psi research up to now is our best source of data showing
(through robust double or triple blind experiments) that mind can indeed
influence biological matter and the distribution of randomness as well—to make
it conform to the subjects’ intention. And as I did my doctoral thesis on psi
research linked to altered states (such as dreams, meditation, relaxation,
etc.) and worked to prepare it at a psi research lab called the Psychophysical
Research Laboratories, in Princeton, New jersey, I certainly had a good grasp
of these data.
Third, my book The Sacred
Network focused on the real life experiences showing consciousness (1) as
creating syg-energy fields, with an analysis of their parameters, structures,
psychological correlations, etc., and (2) as allowing a tinkering with space
and time (consciousness as nonlocal). The whole third part of The Sacred Network was devoted to ‘Space
and Time Singularities,’ that is, exceptional collective semantic fields or
Telhar fields, creating a shared consciousness that showed a clear-cut
tinkering with either 3D space or the linear time of classical physics. All the
arguments and discussions were directly based on objective and factual evidence
from real-life experiences (a phenomenology approach). I believe I demonstrated
clearly, to minds free of preconceived ideas, that a part of our consciousness
operates indeed beyond space and time, that it behaves as a still mysterious
new type of energy and is sometimes observed infringing on, or overriding, the
classical Einsteinian spacetime framework.
Let me dare say that these experiences are invaluable in regard to
the present ISS theory. On the one hand, they make the link with a part of
humanity pursuing an age-old quest for a ‘know thyself’ and an inner and
spiritual path of knowledge, to which part I also belong. And on the other hand
they bring an objective demonstration (albeit not a proof) of the reality of
consciousness-as-energy. Indeed, they bring many cues as to the workings and
dynamics of this syg energy in our minds and in the world. Syg energy is in an
‘exalted’ or ‘excited’ state in the semantic fields of people having peak
experiences, as well as in sacred places and objects, and thus becomes
‘visible’ for the sensitive, appearing as syg-energy structures such as a
sphere, a torus, or a rod, in a domain of frequencies usually outside the range
of visible light.
Fourth, the real trigger was the work I did for my book called
“Jung’s Prediction,” primarily focused on synchronicities—that
is, meaningful coincidences—a phenomena discovered and studied by the renown
psychologist Carl Jung in the middle of the twentieth century. Early in his
research on synchronicity, Jung entertained a correspondence with physicist and
Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli, one of the pioneers of Quantum Mechanics (QM).
Jung and Pauli both had the strong conviction that there existed a dimension of
deep reality in which mind and matter
were merged. In my view, it pointed to consciousness being an energy and having
physical properties, an energy enabling its interaction with matter. Such deep
interactions would allow synchronicities and nonlocal processes to happen, and
would be also the dimension in which dwells a higher consciousness in human
beings—their Self (atman, soul). The deep reality as a CSR hyperdimension is
the core subject of this present book: not only is it a semantic level of
organization in all the living and in matter systems, but it resides also at
the subquantum scale.
I was practically finished with the writing of this book on Jung
(in November 2010), when I had a breakthrough and conceived three
‘meta-dimensions;’ I then wrote a whole new chapter while the ideas were still
crystallizing about how these metadims worked and how they constituted a new
manifold, which I called Center-Syg-Rhythm. The creative spur was so sudden and
so intense that I kept writing new stuff in the book up to a few hours before
sending the belated file to my French publisher. At the end of the chapter, I
used metadim Rhythm to explain the entanglement of particles irrespective of
distance (as shown in the famous EPR paradox experiments that proved the
instantaneous nonlocal entanglement between particles. And still, I had no
inkling of the ISS yet.
Finally, when I got involved in books and data on the Big Bang and
the pre-space, I came to understand that consciousness must have existed at the
very birth of our universe, before the emergence of spacetime, because I knew
and had theorized that syg energy was operating on parameters and dynamics
independent from spacetime.
And that gave me a head start as well as a definite momentum to
try to fathom how consciousness-as-energy (syg energy) could exist and operate
before the Big Bang. And I dove enthusiastically into more research. As I was
finally writing a synthesis of what I had learned (the blueprint of the actual
chapter 1), I suddenly had a grand insight that unfolded itself at a stunning
speed—a conceptual, architectural, visual and musical understanding of the
Infinite Spiral Staircase as the self-organizing architecture and dynamics of
the pre-Big Bang universe; it was a topological yet dynamical theory positing
the self-actualization of our primordial universe, and its cosmic
consciousness.
The core of the whole theory did unfold in about two weeks
(October 28 to November 15, 2012) and it included, as a second leap,
formalizing the ISS (and thus the Center-Syg-Rhythm manifold) in each particle,
system, and mind (the actual chapter 7).
At that point, I had the feeling that everything was in its place;
that what I had worked on all along—syg energy, the semantic dimension, and the
semantic fields—had now a foundation as a hyperdimension that could later be
framed in mathematical physics. It had also a keystone in ontology (the science
of Being and of the ultimate questions on the nature of existence): it posed
consciousness as the universe’s
fundamental force. Indeed, a force creating order and complexity in the world
(or negentropy) is duly observed at work everywhere by scientists: just think
for example about our science and technology growing exponentially! The
universe is screaming for the theoretical foundations of consciousness as the
negentropic force organizing reality, a force that counts for such an immense
part of the dynamics of the whole that physics has now to reckon with it.
The new paradigm of the ISS theory:
consciousness as part of a hyperdimensional theory of the universe
The ISS theory poses the foundations of a new stand for physics:
that of integrating consciousness as a real force and a specific set of
dimensions in a hyperdimensional theory of the universe. Among the novel
concepts having a bearing on an integral theory of the universe:
·
our own
input, as individuals, in the cosmic ISS, along a two-way flow of syg energy
(simultaneously information and energy);
·
not only the
spontaneous imprinting of all events and beings in the ISS (the ancient concept
of Akasha) but influences received (often as archetypal forms) from it, and our
own intentional influences on it;
·
the
allowance for imperfections, discordant melodies, and roots of conflict at the
ISS as source;
·
the
existence of previous universe-bubbles, along a collar of bubbles (that need
not be the only such collar), whose information would be inscribed in the steps
(or bows) of our own cosmic ISS, and yet leaving an immense space for novel
input;
·
the
hypothesis that the universe-bubble that immediately preceded our own ended up
in a global black hole that, through a X-shape funnel (or hourglass),
transformed itself into a white hole launching with enormous energy a new ISS—a
new universe;
·
the hypothesis
that the information of the previous universe-bubble is inscribed in our ISS,
in a tiny part of its global system, acting as a cosmic DNA;
·
this doesn’t
preclude numerous such collars of universe-bubbles and accommodates the multiverse concept (but
not its random feature);
·
the
prediction of numerous intelligent civilizations existing in our galaxy and in
our universe-bubble, all feeding the cosmic ISS; and the added idea that, all
of them being linked to the One-ISS, we share the same ubiquitous
Center-Syg-Rhythm hyperdimension; so that, somehow, within the whole bubble,
the evolution of conscious beings must be resonant or enmeshed, even if some of
these intelligent civilizations have a probability to be millions of years
older than ours;
·
And lastly,
let’s realize that we are free and therefore responsible for the future of
Earth as a collective planetary semantic field endowed with free will,
creativity, and vision.
In the present book, I have kept the development of the core
chapters practically untouched, as well as the spontaneous unfolding of
concepts, the process of creative insights feeding into one another, launched
and fueled by the exquisitely profound dreams of Pauli, the constant back and
forth between left-brain logic and right-brain intuitive thinking, the
entwining of logic and intuition. Thus I hope that this book, which means for
me the sharing of an insight, can also be an exciting ride along a creative
spur and may trigger insights and a grasp of the deep reality we are living in
and sharing, and of its boundless potentials for experiencing our own Self and
exploring our mental capacities.
