How I would understand your system is that all the various conceptual structures we use to describe and explain reality are systems within themselves and necessarily connected to each other.

In a sense, the various mental tools in the toolbox, rather than one big hammer, as various systems propose to be.

I would propose that these are finite slices of an infinite reality. That there is no universal map or model of this reality, because the framing breaks down over infinities and disappears at zero.

If we include all the information from the territory onto the map, any signal is lost back into the noise.

The math is abstracted from the reality, not the basis for it.

Yet these maps require some central focus, locus, purpose, point of reference, like dimensionality needs that 0, 0, 0 center point, then needs the axes specified, or it just blurs out. Such as if you apply different axes to the same space, wouldn't that make it 6 dimensional? So what about infinite axes? Then any signal is lost back into the noise.

The primary problem I have with our current descriptions of reality is the issue of time.

As mobile organisms, this sentient interface our bodies have with their situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is the present moving past to future, yet the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sounds as frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

So time is an effect and measure, like temperature. Rate versus degree, frequency versus amplitude.

So the energy, as presence, goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.

Suggesting consciousness manifests as energy. Though it is the digestive system processing the energy and feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts the patterns, signals from the noise.

What our minds do tend to select, the signals we pick out of the noise, are what resonates and synchronizes with our prior knowledge. Which becomes a centripetal building process, like rings of a tree. Each adding to the next. Yet going back to earliest childhood memories, when we were most emotional and least informed.

Though the process requires that central point of focus, like the grain of sand at the center of the pearl. The eye of the storm, the center of gravity. The black hole at the center of the galaxy. The 0, 0, 0 point at the center of the coordinate system.

Galaxies are the energy radiating out, as the structure coalesces in. The quasars showing out the poles are like giant lasers, which are synchronized light waves.

What we see of the world around us, are the parts of the spectrum radiated off those surfaces, not those absorbed, so it is like the noise being shed, as signal is absorbed. We are little centripetal vortices, smeared across infinity.
