The mind does information. Then it becomes the ultimate feedback loop, because information is reductionistic. We attenuate the signal to a high pitched shriek. Look at theoretical physics, supposedly the highest discipline. What does it study? The macroscopic, the microscopic and the abstract, because they can be distilled to the purest information.
What about everything else? Can we really understand signal, if we have no idea what noise is?
If it's not order, it must be chaos, but if we have too much information, it becomes whiteout and we are back to chaos.
The problem, it seems, is we are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, circular, reciprocal, feedback generated reality. The positive feedback builds, until the wave crests and we are our most intoxicated, then the negative feedback kicks in and we don't understand, because society promised a pot of gold at the end of the narrative arc.
What is form? Galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.
Synchronization is centripetal, swirling into the center, while the energy harmonizes, out across the universe.
We are mobile organisms, so this sentient interface between our body and its world functions as a sequence of perceptions, past to future.
The reality is change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.
There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.
Energy is conserved, because it is the present, creating time, temperature, pressure, color, sound...
Time is frequency, events are amplitude.
So the energy goes past to future, as the patterns generated go future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.
Energy out, form in. Like galaxies.
Consciousness goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Though it's the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts the information, signals from the noise. Order and chaos.
Waves tend to synchronize, because it is efficient. While energy radiates, because it is the path of least resistance. So both entropic, but opposite.
We are caught in the middle. The anarchies of desire, versus the tyrannies of judgement. Our heart radiating out, as our head coalesces in.
Feedback.
Thermodynamics.
