Holistic Mathematics and Science

In the last post I addressed the fact that corresponding to each number in Holistic Mathematics is a unique scientific interpretation of reality.

So the range of possible interpretations is infinite with Conventional Science based on just one of these numbers (i.e. 1).

This I believe is a truly remarkable finding - which if even remotely grasped - should end all notions of science having reached its zenith!

Indeed we can make further remarkable statements based on holistic mathematical interpretation. For not alone does every number possess a unique qualitative dimensional significance (as indicated) but equally every symbol and relationship - with an already established significance in Standard Mathematics - can likewise be given a unique holistic mathematical explanation with intimate relevance for psychological interpretation of reality.

And those theories and hypotheses that already have been shown to have a special importance in standard quantitative terms would possess an equally important significance in holistic qualitative terms.

Indeed to demonstrate this point to my own satisfaction I spent several years examining the Riemann Hypothesis in the attempt to establish its true qualitative psychological significance. Then as an altogether unexpected bonus this paved the way for - what I am confident - is a true resolution of the hypothesis.

So I established in the end that the famed hypothesis is actually expressing a fundamental condition for maintaining consistency as between both the quantitative and the qualitative interpretation of mathematical symbols.
Of course one clear implication of this is that it cannot be solved in standard mathematical terms (as it is based on recognition of the quantitative aspect only).

So correctly understood - as I would see it - the Riemann Hypothesis serves as one expression of a vital axiom in a more comprehensive radial mathematical approach i.e. that explicitly entails both quantitative and qualitative aspects of interpretation.
So not alone is the standard approach to Mathematics inadequate for the task of solving the Riemann Hypothesis, it is even inadequate in terms of understanding its true nature!

However it would be mistaken to believe that the relevance of Holistic Mathematics (and related Integral Science) is confined to qualitative interpretation of a psychological kind.
For once one departs from the default linear (1-dimensional) interpretation of Conventional Mathematics (and Science), a two- way complementary relationship exists as between physical and psychological understanding. Thus at all other levels, what we "see" with respect to physical reality inevitably reflects in considerable measure the psychological manner by which it is interpreted.

Thus the physical and psychological aspects of (interpreted) reality are mirrors to each other so that the structure revealed in one is the same structure pertaining to the other.

The clear implication of this therefore is that not alone do we have an infinite set with respect to potential interpretations of reality, but equally we have an infinite set of (corresponding) physical realities.

So the great error that is committed by adherents merely of the standard linear approach is the belief that there is just one physical reality "out there" with just one valid manner of overall interpretation.

Though most scientists may not fully subscribe to the pure representation view (i.e. that our chosen mental constructs reveal reality as it actually is) in practice they behave as if this is exactly the case!


However once again when we recognise the legitimacy of the other dimensional numbers (as interpretative structures) we are faced with the inevitable conclusion that we cannot possibly view what is "out there" for in truth a potentially infinite set of interpretations (and corresponding physical realities) exist.

Putting this another way, the inevitable conclusion of adopting this more comprehensive approach is an acceptance that science can only attempt to grapple with secondary phenomenal appearances that serve in an infinite variety of ways to mask what is truly primary and essential (i.e. spirit).


Existing scientists are slowly coming to accept that physical reality in its deepest workings behaves very differently from what is seen at the normal macro level of observation.

So the 1-dimensional method of Conventional Science is best equipped to deal with normal macro reality.

Unfortunately while now recognising that sub-atomic reality conforms to different rules, essentially the same linear method is still being used for interpretation.

It is hardly surprising therefore that quantum reality for example appears so strange and paradoxical (as it is continually viewed through an inappropriate interpretative lens).

At an even deeper level string theory in the same attempt to pursue a merely quantitative type appreciation has rendered itself virtually meaningless as a coherent philosophical (qualitative) explanation of reality.

And this is where the new interpretative models based on higher dimensional numbers) come into play which lead among other things to a new appreciation of dimensions.

I will return to this briefly again in a further post!

The Number 137

The number 137 has raised considerable interest. Its reciprocal (1/137) approx. is referred to as the fine structure constant in physics and is related to the probability of electrons (or other particles) emitting or absorbing particles. Much has been written regarding the "mystical" properties of this number. Indeed some years ago my attention was drawn to its significance through correspondence relating to Jungian archetypes. And just recently an interesting article by Giorgio Piacenza has been published on Frank Visser's Integral World web-site. Without wanting to claim too much for the "mystical significance" of this number, I would like to initially broaden the topic to highlight some important general properties of prime numbers (of which 137 is a specific example). From one perspective prime numbers can be viewed as the basic building blocks of the natural number system (which we literally view in a linear manner as stretched out on a strai...

Integral Science - holistic mathematical nature

In Conventional Mathematics both real and imaginary numbers are used with respect to their (merely) quantitative interpretation. However the key starting point of Holistic Mathematics is the realisation that every mathematical symbol can also be given a corresponding qualitative meaning. The limitation therefore of Conventional Mathematics is that it is confined in qualitative terms to merely real understanding (corresponding to default one-dimensional interpretation). The role of Holistic Mathematics is to provide corresponding imaginary interpretation in qualitative terms. Whereas real interpretation corresponds directly with conscious, imaginary interpretation - by contrast - corresponds directly with unconscious understanding. Once again the real aspect relates to linear logic (where opposite polarities in experience are clearly separated) whereas the imaginary aspect relates in turn to circular logic (where such opposite polarities are treated as complementary). Thus when we separ...

Multidimensional Nature of Time and Space (10)

As we have seen, Conventional Science is based on rational understanding of a linear logical kind which directly conforms with the qualitative interpretation of 1 (as a number dimension). And of course it is the very nature of such interpretation that qualitative notions are thereby reduced (for any relevant context) in a merely quantitative manner! Also, as we have seen, directly associated with this approach is the interpretation of time also as 1-dimensional (where it moves in a single positive direction). However, once we recognise that associated with all numbers is a corresponding qualitative - as well as recognised - quantitative interpretation, then potentially we can have an unlimited number of mathematical interpretations (all of which assume a certain limited validity within their appropriate relative context). This likewise entails that time (and space) itself - when appropriately understood - possesses a potentially unlimited number of possible directions (associated...
