[ “Quantum moment” has a nice ring to it, dear hosepipe, especially when thinking about quantum entanglement. ]
Quantum “Balls of String(S)” better called “matter”...
Is an interesting subject.. agreed..
In my “vision” that I had, I saw it as (A)”Designated matter/energy” and (B)”UN-designated energy/matter”...
(A) being balls of strings...
(B) just strings.. whatever they are..
Whoever gave me the “vision” seems to know.. I choose to call “it” the Holy Spirit(giver of visions) but any name will do since the Holy Spirit has no name anyway..
Seems to me the money concept is, who designates and UN-designates “stuff”.. AND if stuff can be designated From un-designated what is the un-designated(stuff) <<- “Dark Matter???”..
Dear 'Pipe, my brother in Christ, I take the "vision" you had as further evidence in support of my own thesis about the fundamental duality implicit in the natural world, which consists of: (a) The "designated" component — that which eternally does not change (e.g., Being, Truth, Logos); and (b) the "undesignated," or "free" component — that which is capable of changing (all existent natural systems, which have no real Being "in their own right," but only as participants in divine Being, and thus, though "undesignated" in advance, still must behave according to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God").
Eric Voegelin commented about the "indefeasible integrity of the [human] soul." I think you're proving him right there, too.
Thank you, dear brother in Christ, for sharing your marvelous insights!
