First a few words about the work and then some links.

In brief, in 2000 I intuitively received a vision of the nature of reality that re-oriented my world-view. Other than a new way of understanding, it mainly expressed itself in my mind as a form of mathematics, which I came to understand through the framework of information and system theory, mystic metaphysics, quantum mechanics and virtual reality simulation.

This evolved over time into a project that could be described as "laying down the philosophical, mathematical and theoretical foundations of a unified holistic science" and "using this foundation to shed light on and unify both ancient and modern wisdom". The work also involves self-enquiry; observation of, and participation in, the evolution of collective consciousness; and the navigation of a paradigm shift in our collective world-view.

To give some insight... Imagine that this physical universe could be thought of as a virtual reality simulation, within which we are evolved sentient virtual beings. It would all seem to us to be physical and in no way different from how it currently does. In this analogical context what I address is not the objects, people, places, events, sights, sounds, shapes, qualities, etc within the VR universe.

What I describe and model is the computational process, the logic of the simulator, the simulation process in action, the structure of the model that is animated, the low-level virtual processes and forms that arise within the VR, how these integrate and evolve into complex systems, how the behaviour of these gives rise to the principles of physics, how some of these complex systems may attain sentience and enquire into the nature of their situation, how they can most effectively achieve this, what they will find when they do and how this whole situation relates to mystic wisdom and what it describes about reality. I also explore how such an understanding can positively affect our individual lives and society as a whole.

What these virtual beings eventually realise is that ultimately they are not physical beings in a physical universe with individual identities, they are motions of a cosmic whole that is non-dual, non-physical, non-local, non-temporal, imperceptible, all pervading and the animating essence of all things.

Furthermore, there is a persistent cognitive habit that causes them to perceive and experience things from a dualist perspective (naïve realism). When this is recognised and its dominance over the mind is overcome, then reality can be apprehended clearly. Although it is not perceptible to the senses, it can be intuitively apprehended in no uncertain terms because it is the inner most essence of our being.

The true nature of the underlying reality, beneath the film of appearances, is ultimately unknowable, however everything else about it can be modelled mathematically and understood scientifically once we go beyond the limitations of naïve realism, thus providing a solid foundation for a unified holistic science/spirituality.

Here is a general introduction that paints an overall picture of this line of research.

A ground up reformulation of the philosophical foundations underlying the work.

The mathematical model at the core of the work.

The main essay describing the world view implied by the results.

The motivation behind the work.

A high level memetic map of areas of interest.

Lots of essays on the main website.

Here are a few articles, although there are hundreds of others...

• Vision arising from my work in five sentences,

• Signs of an Emerging Paradigm Shift,

• Clarifying our minds for the greater good,

• Discussing the Emerging Paradigm on the SSE Forum,

• Profound Metaphysical Questions to Ask Yourself,

• Ask Yourself This,

• Thoughts on the Outline of a Unified Science,

• Virtual Reality Analogy Alongside Science and Mysticism,

• What Terms Best Describe My Metaphysical Work?,

• What is a system and why should we care to know?,

• Three Metaphysical Perspectives on one Page,

• What I think in simple terms,

It's a vast subject and quite complex to describe in detail (although simple in essence), so I hope this gives you an idea of what the work is about. There are also essays, mathematics, software, art, prose poetry, etc on my main website.

I am happy to make contact with people interested in these ideas, so feel free to drop me a line...

And if you know of anyone who would benefit from knowing about this work the please do pass it on. That is the main way that this information gets out there.
