Nothing is impossible

Nothing is impossible 


Natural processes are the result of natural systems and interactions without any need for consciousness or imagination.


Changes are constant but variable, so systems and consequent interactions evolve in an unpredictable, continuously variable fashion.


If the universe becomes static, the clock stops. Time does not exist in a true singularity. There are, similarly, no interactions, and thus no systems.


In the absence of systems, interactions, space and time, there is nothing, no energy or matter, no phase or transition.


Consciousness is not necessary at the fundamental level, but if present, will enable contemplation of all of this, while never influencing any of it in any way.


When a conscious entity attempts to imagine nothing, it is trapped by the process, nailed to the virtual wall by ideas like empty space or zero, which is why consciousness annihilates nothing, the properties of which are no matter or energy or space or time, no what or where or when. 


And if nothing does not exist, it cannot be measured or contemplated. 


So there is only something, and therefore, potentially, interactive systems. 


When the whole system is dormant, the clock, by definition, is still ticking. Although the intertick interval may be unimaginable, the system may wake up at any time.


The core question we are left with is, why is there something? 


Without imagination this question would not exist. 


We know that imagination may emerge as a result of natural processes (including the technology it produces), so we know why the question exists, a meaningful question for a conscious entity, and for which there can only be one answer. 


The reciprocal, nothing, is impossible.

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...
