Natural Law

 Natural Law


The myriad of mechanisms

clouds of intricacy

thickets of complexity

mysteries solved

unsolved 

and not yet recognized

which comprise all that is large

and all that is small

and everything in between

everywhere

in all imaginable universes

exist whether or not

there is consciousness

available to understand them


The tree is there

even if no sentient entity

is present to witness its fall


Toddlers discover physics

by bumping and falling

into the world around them


Astronomers and physicists

mathematicians and biologists

and all the other scientists

and deep thinkers

are the toddlers

who recognize the phenomena

and create the knowledge

resulting in the understanding 

of the principles 

governing natural phenomena

the natural laws


The unconscious system

from which biology emerges

creates a consciousness

which attempts to understand it


The natural laws

currently recognized

will be improved upon

corrected or discarded

reconsidered and reinterpreted

based upon observational evidence

and theoretical reformulation


At the end of time

in this universe

the natural laws

applicable to the transformation

into another

will govern the transition

and evolution 

of all that follows


The same laws will apply

to the very wide range of probabilities

with some likelihood

that consciousness will emerge

and the laws of nature

will be discovered 

by intelligent beings

one of whom undoubtedly

will pen a poem

similar to this one

Footnotes: I prefer to use the term, laws of nature, rather than laws of physics. The terms are interchangeable, but, in the current vernacular, nature will appeal to a wider audience.


Laws made up by people to manage behavior in society, are part of perishable codes of a utilitarian nature, and inherently transient. Natural laws are entirely independent of these, and present whether or not they are recognized at all.

Music and mind

  Music and Mind Created by Aubrey Lieberman in collaboration with ChatGPT 5.1 turbo — December 2025 Music enters the mind long before thought does. Before language, before memory, before the ability to name the world, there is rhythm. There is tone. There is the human body learning to sway, breathe, and respond to patterned sound. Music is not an ornament added to consciousness; it is one of the structural beams that holds consciousness up. The mind does not merely listen to music. It organizes itself through music. Some pieces awaken us. A line like “There’s something happening here…” can expand awareness faster than any lecture. Others invite us to begin again, to feel the world reopening with the quiet certainty of “It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day.” Music becomes the annunciation of renewal, a reminder that consciousness can be rewritten. Other pieces turn inward, spiraling through the recursive spaces of thought. “Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel…” descri...

The foundation of awe, and the fog of reality

  The Foundation of Awe and the Fog of Reality Produced by Aubrey Lieberman with ChatGPT 5.0 turbo — September 2025 Wavicle is a word coined by quantum physicists a century ago. Wavicles don’t have simple properties like position and speed. When speed is determined, position cannot be, and vice versa. That’s what uncertainty means: reality itself is built upon probabilities that result in stable atoms and molecules. Without that, there’d be no matter, no life, no us. In the early 20th century, scientists learned that light (not only visible, but the entire electromagnetic spectrum) possesses both particle and wave like properties. To capture this duality, some began using the word wavicle. It emphasizes that the division into “wave” or “particle” is artificial; the true quantum entities are neither, but rather both. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle follows naturally: wavicles don’t carry precisely defined values of position and momentum simultaneously. This isn’t about limits of ...

Sticky Mittens

  Sticky Mittens   Developmental psychologists have put sticky mittens on baby hands, with which the tiny humans were able to grasp much more effectively, enabling them to do things they were previously thought to be incapable of. The researchers concluded that neural connectivity during early life exceeded the physical constraints imposed by the little hands. A human adult given sticky mittens, might climb a skyscraper, given wings, fly like a bird, given scuba gear, swim like a fish, given a telescope, explore the galaxies, given a microscope, enter the earths microbiome, given vibrating strings, makes celestial music, given a board and chalk, write the equations which govern life and the universe. Human general intelligence is the sticky mitten which enables us to grasp almost anything, even to make tools to enhance our intelligence beyond the limits we can imagine now. Perhaps we will collectively become smart enough to escape our evolutionary constraints, enabling kindnes...
