• We only see a small slice of reality.
  • Reality happens in your brain but originates in your mind’s eye. Reality is perceiving everything knowable, whether it is knowable by logical inference, empirical observation, or some other form of experience. To be authentic is to exist without needing to be proven. Known thought travels at 268 MPR. Your brain is a general-purpose computer.
  • How Vision Works: Our Sense of Sight | Ask A Biologist
  • The main parts of the human eye are the cornea, iris, pupil, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, retina, and optic nerve.
  • Seeing is believing. When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), photoreceptors cells turn the light into electrical signals. These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see. You perceive it as accurate. Visual accommodation changes the lens’s curvature light entering the eye focused on the retina. Sight is a six-step process: Reception, light enters through the cornea. Transduction, electromagnetic energy (light) is converted into electrochemical impulses by the rods and cones. Transmission. Selection.   Organization. Interpretation.
  • Visual processing refers to the brain’s ability to use and interpret visual information from our point of view. The process of converting light energy into a meaningful image is complex. It is facilitated by numerous brain structures and higher-level cognitive processes. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that makes humans unique. Functions that originate in the cerebral cortex include: your consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you. Higher-order thinking. Imagination. Information processing. Language. Perception. Reasoning.
  • Sensation.Memory. (The acquiring, storing, retaining, and later retrieving information).
  • Five different types of theory are distinguished: (1) theory for analyzing and describing, (2) theory for understanding, (3) theory for predicting, (4) theory for explaining and predicting, and (5) theory for design and action. Information is an inseparable part of the Universe. The Event Originator wrote the code for the software packages that gave birth to the Universe. Ditto for the operation of the Universe and the maintenance of the Universe. Also, life forms for the Universe. Information gets deleted on an as-needed basis. Information is reposed in energy and then stored in matter.
  • A schematic is a diagram of Shannon’s communication model from his paper.
  • Human communication can be broken down into six key concepts: sender, encoder, channel, noise, decoder, and receiver. The information source is where the information is stored. The message is encoded into signals to send the data so that it can travel to its destination.

  • The laws of physics are what is agreed upon. Agreement changes all of the time. Do the laws of physics work the same everywhere? We don’t know. Showing that the Universe is non-uniform is impossible, so we use the local laws universe-wide. Physical hopes that physical laws describe the Universe operate throughout the Universe, we hope. The form of energy has created the entire balance in the world. It changes from one form to another, but it always is conserved. This Universe is purposefully designed. The Universe was fine-tuned to produce life forms. The Universe has a perfect balance between the expansion rate and the energy density from its start through today. The Universe is electrically neutral. The nuclear forces stay within an atomic nucleus. A universe with too little matter and energy will expand into oblivion before it’s possible even to form atoms. A Universe with too much matter and energy for its expansion rate will recollapse in short order. The equation is still in that balance. The odds of this occurring naturally are almost zero.
  • The Universe is finely tuned, and our existence is proof.
