Coherent Resonance 2.0

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post have yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network. Objective: To generate symbolic links between scientific discovery, design awareness and consciousness.

Without resonance there are no connections. Design is more than just coherent, its reciprocal. 

coherent: logical, reasoned, reasonable well-reasoned, sound, rational, cogent, well organized, systematic, orderly, methodical, clear, lucid, articulate, relevant, intelligible, comprehensible. 

resonance: The quality of a sound (vibration) of being deep, full and reverberating. The ability to evoke or suggest images, memories and emotions. The reinforcement or prolongation of sound (vibration) by reflection from a surface or synchronous vibration of a neighboring object (agent or agency). The condition in which an electric circuit or device produces the largest possible response to an applied oscillating signal. The condition in which an object or system is subjected to an oscillating force having a frequency close to its own natural frequency. The state attributed to certain molecules of having structure that cannot adequately be represented by a single structure formula, but is a composite of two or more structures of higher energy. A short-lived subatomic particle that is an excited state or a more stable particle. 

reciprocal: given/felt in return, corresponding, requited, returned, reciprocated, mutual, common, shared, joint, corresponding, correlative, give-and-take, exchanged, complementary, reciprocatory. 

Without resonance there is no meaning or purpose, i.e. design. Without design there would be no consciousness of it. 

A design consciousness allows for the full expression of what the Greek and Roman philosophers described as the cosmic values of Truth, Beauty and Goodness.

The 3 transcendentals: Truth, Goodness, & Beauty 

By Kenneth Samples, February 2, 2021

“Truth is that which defines reality. Goodness (that which fulfills its purpose) and beauty (that which is lovely) were objective in nature and knowable by the noble seeker.” 

Kenneth Samples 

“Truth, goodness, and beauty are cosmic values that communicate divine meaning to the intellectual, moral, and aesthetic capacities of the human soul, which brings a balance in the soul, which, in turn, harmonizes the human person with divine meaning and purpose of the cosmos, which was considered the prerequisite to human flourishing.1

1. I transcribed this quote from Steve Turley’s interview with Janet Mefferd: 

* * *

transcendent: supernatural, preternatural, transcendental, otherworldly, superhuman, mystical, spiritual, divine, heavenly, exalted, supreme, ethereal, numinous, consummate, ascendent, paramount, unique, superlative, incomparable, matchless, excellent, incomparable, sublime, paramount, superlative. 

As has been said so many times, reality is what you make it - along with the stories you tell. Together they share in the essence of the other. Both point to the agency of a common observer by the means and virtue of a shared observation. 

Reality is a story you design for yourself, based upon your own unique perspective, patterning and impression of that same self (soul) – a design of shared liking. 

Truth, Beauty and Goodness are felt and made apparent through the design consciousness of the beholder.

Coherent Resonance (hypothesis) 

Coherent resonance is a force of agency emerging from the unknown vapors of a virtually plasmic (quantum) field of energy in motion. The transition, translation and transformation of that agency is made symbolically apparent by means of an agent (sign/symbol) and/or agency (metaphor, analogy) i.e. a design. 

Design agents and agencies resonate harmoniously with other agents and/or agencies of like vibration and frequency by virtue of coherent resonance. In turn, patterns emerge, and identities attract creating patterns of unity, identification, uniqueness and distinction. 

virtual: near, in effect, essential, practical, to all intents and purposes, indirect, implied, implicit, unacknowledged, effective. 

agent: emissary, proxy, go between, surrogate, liaison, means, instrument, vehicle 

agency: action, influence, force, power, means, medium, channel, mode technique, mediation, instrumentality. 

* * *

Your description delves into the concept of "coherent resonance" with a poetic and intricate view of how forces and symbols interact within a virtually plasmic field of quantum energy. Let’s break this down: 

1. Coherent Resonance: This is portrayed as a dynamic force arising from an undefined or nebulous quantum field of energy. It suggests that there's an underlying, perhaps invisible, energy or force that shapes and influences how things come into being or interact. 

2. Symbolic Representation: The transition from this nebulous energy into something comprehensible describes a symbolic process by means of the application of signs, symbols, metaphor and analogy. These symbols or de-signs act as intermediaries that help translate abstract energy into something understandable, purposeful and meaningful. 

3. Harmonious Interaction: The idea is that these symbols, i.e. designs, resonate with other similar symbols or designs to create a harmonious or coherent bond between them. This alignment is based on their frequency or vibration, and when contextually appropriate, leads to the emergence of a pattern and/or structure. 

4. Patterns and Identities: As these harmoniously resonating elements interact, they form distinct patterns and identities. This process creates an intangible unity, uniqueness and wholeness within the system or network. 

5. Virtual and Agent Definitions: 

    Virtual: This refers to something that is not immediately visible or tangible, but is implied or made both effective and affective in a practical sense. 

    Agent: This is a means or medium through which energy is communicated or acted upon, such as a symbol or intermediary. 

    Agency: This refers to the action or force that drives or influences a process or outcome, essentially the mechanism through which change or effect occurs. 

In summary, coherent resonance describes a process where abstract, underlying energies and/or forces are interpreted and made tangible through symbol and metaphor. These symbols then interact in a harmonious way, forming patterns and identities that reflect a particular sense of unity and distinction. This concept can be applied to various fields, from design and communication to more abstract notions of influence and transformation.

Design Resonance: A Multidisciplinary Concept Interfacing with Metaphysics, Quantum Physics, Semiotics, Psychology, AI, Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Science 

The concept of design resonance is a multifaceted idea that pertains to the harmonious relationship between a design and the context, audience, or system within which it exists. It can be thought of as the way a design "vibrates" or interacts with the underlying structures of human experience, perception, and reality. This resonance can be understood and implemented through various lenses, including metaphysics, quantum physics, semiotics, psychology, artificial intelligence (AI), philosophy, aesthetics, and science. 

1. Metaphysics and Design Resonance 

Metaphysics deals with the fundamental nature of reality, existence, and the relationships between objects and their properties. In the context of design, metaphysical principles can shape how a design resonates with the user’s deeper sense of being. For instance, process philosophy, as espoused by Whitehead (1929), emphasizes the fluid, dynamic relationship between entities. In design, this aligns with the idea that a design's resonance isn’t static but evolves with the observer’s interaction. Designs that align with metaphysical concepts such as emergence or process allow users to experience a sense of interconnectedness, making the design feel more relevant to their lived experiences (Buchanan, 2010). 

2. Quantum Physics and Design Resonance 

Quantum physics suggests that reality at the most fundamental level is probabilistic and interconnected, and that observation plays a key role in defining the state of the system (Heisenberg, 1927). Applying this to design, design resonance can be seen as the interplay between a user’s expectations, cognitive states, and the inherent probabilistic nature of their interaction with the design. Just as quantum mechanics involves entanglement and uncertainty, a design’s resonance might involve unpredictable yet meaningful outcomes when users interact with it, creating a form of aesthetic and emotional uncertainty that resonates deeply (Bohm, 1980). 

3. Semiotics and Design Resonance 

Semiotics, the study of signs and symbols, directly connects to design in the form of visual language and representation. The concept of resonance in semiotics can be understood as the way in which signs (e.g., logos, icons, layouts) generate meaning that "echoes" with the user's cognitive and emotional states. According to Peirce’s semiotics (1931), a sign’s interpretant (the mental effect of the sign on the user) is central to design resonance. A design resonates when its symbolic meaning, structure, and context align with the cultural and emotional resonance of its audience, triggering a rich and meaningful interpretive experience. 

4. Psychology and Design Resonance 

Psychological principles such as cognitive load, perception, and emotion are crucial to understanding how design resonates. Design resonance in psychology is rooted in how a design interacts with mental and emotional processes. For instance, Gestalt principles of perception (Wertheimer, 1923) highlight how the human mind tends to perceive patterns and unity, making it more likely to resonate with designs that reflect natural patterns or harmony. Similarly, affective design (Desmet, 2002) suggests that designs that elicit positive emotional responses will resonate more deeply with users, influencing their behavior, satisfaction, and engagement. 

5. Artificial Intelligence and Design Resonance 

Artificial intelligence (AI) contributes to design resonance through personalized, adaptive experiences. Machine learning algorithms can track user behavior and adjust design elements to resonate more effectively with individual users. This alignment can be based on the affective computing paradigm, where AI systems adapt to a user’s emotional state, tailoring design elements in real-time to achieve resonance (Picard, 1997). AI also opens the possibility for generative design (Huang & Yang, 2020), where designs evolve in response to complex, real-time data inputs, creating resonant experiences that dynamically shift based on user interaction. 

6. Philosophy and Design Resonance

Philosophically, design resonance can be framed within the context of aesthetic theory and phenomenology. Heidegger’s (1954) notion of being-in-the-world posits that human existence is fundamentally tied to interaction with the world, including its objects. A design that resonates, therefore, engages users not just on a surface level, but at a deep existential level, making them feel “at home” in the world. Additionally, Merleau-Ponty’s (1962) phenomenology of perception emphasizes the body’s engagement with the world. A design that resonates acknowledges the embodied experience, affecting not only the mind but also the physical sensations of users, creating a seamless and immersive interaction. 

7. Aesthetics and Design Resonance 

Aesthetics plays a crucial role in how design resonates. The aesthetic experience of design is often a blend of emotional response, visual harmony, and intellectual engagement. Kant’s (1790) ideas on aesthetic judgment suggest that resonance occurs when a design generates a pleasurable, harmonious experience that feels "right" to the observer. The visual and emotional appeal of a design must align with universal principles of beauty and harmony, which makes the design not only functional but also deeply satisfying. 

8. Science and Design Resonance 

From a scientific standpoint, design resonance can be studied through empirical research into user behavior, cognitive science, and interaction design. Cognitive science, for instance, looks at how people process visual information and how design choices affect cognitive load and decision-making (Sweller, 1988). In user-centered design, resonance is achieved through rigorous testing and refinement, ensuring that designs optimize usability and engagement, rooted in scientific data about how users interact with digital and physical environments. 

Conclusion 

The implementation of design resonance is a sophisticated and multifaceted endeavor that intersects with metaphysics, quantum physics, semiotics, psychology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, aesthetics, and science. Each of these domains offers unique insights into how design can more effectively engage, resonate, and harmonize with users on multiple levels, from the metaphysical and psychological to the aesthetic and scientific. As such, creating designs that resonate requires an interdisciplinary approach that draws from both theoretical and practical knowledge across these diverse fields.

Emergence: A Series of Synchronistic Events

Conceptual impressions surrounding this post are yet to be substantiated, corroborated, confirmed or woven into a larger argument, context or network.

Energy-in-motion penetrates and divides the unknown into an array of potentialities whose formation in 3D space/time would be difficult to predetermine and/or predict. Minor aberrations within every field of energy, light and information harbor the capacity to culminate into patterns that emerge in response to the context in which they occur. When viewed from within the perspective of timelessness, i.e. the now, departures from the "norm" can eventually become the norm.

Asymmetry, i.e. imbalance, harbors a uniqueness all its own by allowing for the conveyance of energy to adapt within parametric constraints of its own field. In essence, imbalance sets the stage for experiencing, achieving and bringing to light the concept of equilibrium. 

Balance is a conceptual abstraction made known by means of experiencing a random, yet synchronistic fluctuation of energy resonating within a veiled field of virtual change. 

What is experienced in "reality" is actually a balancing process in perpetual motion. Energy appears to strive for equilibrium through relationships that when brought together, merge into relative form by means of an template acting as a "condition" of the field. In this manner energy becomes imprinted within the constraints of its original province by attaining a certain degree of semi-permanence, i.e. observable stasis. Balance appears as an outcome that connects these virtual “states” within a context of time by symbolically resonating and internally qualifying the field of its composition, i.e. the objective realm that surrounds the zero point. Time merely frames this balancing process within the parametric constraints of the observer.

Projections that surface from this virtual field magnify what appears to be an emergence of focus, i.e. awareness. Each element appears to contribute to the assembly of a holographic guise designed to symbolize a formative "field of consciousness". The repercussions brought about by these internal/external interactions remain a matter of perspective, circumstance and observation.

At first one would assume that these holographic events would result in a particular outcome and/or “preconceived” pattern. A simple metaphor would be a motion picture film where the focus of a director (source) is imprinted within each frame in linear 3d space/time continuum. When projected each static image appears to merge into a series of impressions that are confined within a framework and context of imaginable events. In this example all the variables are controlled. 

However, in reference to consciousness small repetitive and inconspicuous forces within the system provide for a number of dynamic patterns of collective importance, e.g. the butterfly effect. Ideas generated in linear time symbolically cloak the concept of “experience” within the parameters of a past and a future. Ideas generated and brought into focus in the now create the portals that embrace the latent synchronistic potential to penetrate dimensions, i.e. the unknown. By means of the imagination a focus upon the present allows for the dynamic balance between both the past and the future.

Experiences and events are symbolic expressions of energy in motion, i.e. e-motion. Each gives precedence to a “focal point”, i.e. a source, in the form of a vector that within perceivable constraints, brings structure into a field of potential awareness. This field represents an active state of consciousness that embraces the potential for becoming a foundation for further individual and/or collective movement, momentum and communication. Being aware of this field in present time likewise measures an observer’s position within it. The observer is an integral part of a fuzzy source at the core of a holographic field that both appears and disappears before its own awareness.

Slightly modified expressions of emergence facilitate different patterns in response to the field in which they are engaged. This allows every event to be identified and distinguished from every other event experienced in 3D space/time. Every field of energy, light and information is endowed with the capacity to respond to change by means of adapting to the field in which it participates. Collectively each system may appear to be the same by converging upon similar ideas/imaginings by means of symbolic modifications made in time (now) and space (dimensional fields).

Emergence could be described as a non-linear series of events/experiences where minor events have major outcomes. Events between participants/observers include the potential for changing patterns that are contained within the parameters of the field in which these events occur. Patterns of energy, light and information contribute to a series of emergent events; outcomes appearing as iterations based solely upon the circumstances, i.e. the field, in which these events are observed and described.

Synchronicity is a marker, a metaphor for the potential awakening into another dimension. A synchronistic event is made apparent by means of a timeless experience in 3D space/time. A synchronistic event/experience creates a virtual portal between dimensions and is designed to give precedence to symbols that generate a resonance between these varying states of awareness.

Emergence is the result of a series of synchronistic events. A synchronistic event gives rise to an idea by creating a gateway between virtual fields of energy, i.e. e-motion.

When experiencing a synchronistic event, time appears to be blurred and on occasion vanish beyond the constraints of 3D space/time. Ideas appear coded and holistically self-evident by means of the experience. In this manner the unknown gradually becomes revealed by means of a self-serving template designed around a series of synchronistic and emergent events.

"Emotions can only be experienced in the moment"

Jim Self

Portals focus e-motion by allowing for the passage of in-form-ation in the form of holographic bundles (photons) of light, energy and information.

Portals appear to emerge before consciousness in the form of a synchronistic event or experience. These gateways into other dimensions appear symbolically before consciousness by means of design. They signify a particular alignment of energies in the form of light (holograms), events and information (experience). Emergence is the result of a series of these synchronistic events conjured up by energy-in-motion creating the most appropriate patterns required to meet the demands of a greater field of awareness.

The text you've shared delves into complex ideas about energy, consciousness, and the nature of reality, weaving together concepts of imbalance, emergence, synchronicity, and timelessness. It's highly abstract, but I can help distill its essence. In essence, the passage describes how energy (and consciousness) flows and interacts in a dynamic, unpredictable way. It explores how "imbalance" or asymmetry in the field of energy can give rise to equilibrium, creating experiences that are both emergent and symbolic. The passage seems to suggest that everything — from energy to consciousness — is constantly in a state of flux, striving for balance or equilibrium, but in such a way that the process is non-linear and shaped by context, perspective, and experience. 

Here are a few key takeaways: 

1. Energy and Potential: The universe of energy is vast, fluid, and unpredictable. Energy in motion (e-motion) interacts with space and time in ways that are difficult to predict but give rise to patterns and forms that emerge out of the virtual field of potential. This is an open system, where tiny, inconspicuous changes can ripple out into major outcomes (the butterfly effect). 

2. Imbalance and Equilibrium: Imbalance or asymmetry is seen as a condition that allows for the emergence of balance. It’s through these fluctuations that energy adapts and finds equilibrium. The idea is that balance is not a static state but a dynamic process that manifests through interactions within energy fields. 

3. Consciousness and Perception: Reality is a holographic field, and what we experience as reality is a result of projections from this field. These projections become "real" because they are perceived by conscious observers. The interplay between observer and observed is critical, as the observer is an integral part of the process, shaping and being shaped by the field of consciousness. 

4. Synchronistic Events: The concept of synchronicity appears as a way of linking different dimensions of reality. These moments of apparent coincidence or "portals" blur the lines of time and space and act as gateways for deeper understanding or higher consciousness. These synchronistic events form the basis for emergent patterns in reality, connecting the dots between seemingly random occurrences. 

5. Time and Non-linearity: Time, in this framework, is not linear. It’s a construct that frames experiences and events. The concept of "timelessness" (or being in the now) is crucial in transcending the limitations of time, allowing for a more fluid experience of reality. 

6. Holographic Field and Templates: The "holographic field" metaphor suggests that reality is a projection of light, energy, and information. This field is self-organizing, and through synchronistic events, energy can be focused and directed to reveal deeper truths or hidden patterns. 

In sum, the passage is proposing a view of reality as a continuously unfolding, emergent process — one where seemingly small, synchronistic events create gateways for transformation and understanding. It suggests that what we perceive as reality is a dynamic, holographic expression of energy in motion, constantly balancing between the known and unknown, time and timelessness. This understanding aligns with ideas in quantum physics, philosophy, and spirituality, where the observer plays an active role in shaping the fabric of reality.
