ode to an infinite library

Migrated topic.

"Full of multiversal flow!"
[warning... mutated literature]:

Everything would be in its blind volumes. Everything: the detailed history of the future, The Bible, the exact number of times that the waters of the Thames have reflected the flight of a pigeon, the secret and true nature of Rome, the encyclopedia would have constructed my dreams and half-dreams at dawn on August 14, 1998, the proof of Pierre Fermat's theorem, the unwritten chapters of 1984, those same chapters translated into Ukrainian AND Klingon, the paradoxes Einstein invented concerning Time but didn't publish, unwritten futurist plays of William Shakespeare, which would be meaningless before a cycle of a thousand years, the concluding episode of Eastenders, the song the sirens sang, the complete catalog of the Library, the proof of the inaccuracy of that catalog. Everything: but for every sensible line or accurate fact there would be millions of meaningless cacophonies, verbal farragoes, and babblings. Everything: but all the generations of mankind could pass before the dizzying shelves—shelves that obliterate the day and on which chaos lies—and never find a tolerable page!!!

Otherwise known as : our universe! But for the small inconvenience of TIME, all this information would happen simultaneously and be accessible in simultaneity!

WE ARE A LIBRARY.

Love the response jbark.

Also I just remembered a cool thing. Do you know how the entire history of EVERTHING (infinite time and space) is contained in a circle? Will explain if not.

Infinite smilies,

Is this kind of like tha akashik records? Lol

Yes.

I remember once being able to access the Akashik records. It was the strangest thing. I was alone in bed, living in a caravan on an island in Essex, and almost sober as a judge (certainly not on any psychedelics). Whilst I was lying there trying to get to sleep I had a web browser in my mind I could control with my thoughts that contained information beyond my wildest dreams. Sadly I can't recall any of the info now but it was amazing.

Infinite smileys or infinite similes? :)

I need to know how EVERYTHING is contained in a circle. A quick google search yielded nonsense. Gimme the goods!

Maybe it relates to constant pi. If not, I have not heard of this.

Very cool post Nick: Both comical and thought-provoking. If only...:shock:

thanks.

and in response to jbark......

As you probably know Pi is the ratio of the radius of a circle to its circumference. It is an irrational number meaning it has no end and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern. Therefor somewhere in this infinite string of digits everything must be encoded.

Very cool I reckon :)

Monkey at a typewriter? Needle in a haystack? :)

This could be said of any irrational number that exhibits no pattern. At the same time, would not coded information, particularly the coded information of the entire known universe, constitute pattern? Patterns within the universe are the only ones known, so any irrational number will contain ALL PATTERN known and conceivable, and thus be far from "patternless".

Think I got ya there. 8)

(It also begs the question, if all that is known is contained in the set of each irrational number, is the universe therefore irrational? :p )

And what of the west side of the decimal? PI's first digit, 3? I wonder what mysteries are hidden there.

Incidentally, 3:14 is a significant number/time for me. For several years I had periods where I would look at the clock at 3:14 EVERY DAY, often twice (peeing at 3:14am! :) ) These periods would last days, sometimes months.

I understand the psychology behind it, but interesting (and confounding!) nevertheless. I even worked the idea into a bizarre screenplay I wrote, in which all is not as it seems, and in which the main character, a private detective on multiple missing persons cases, witnesses the hour 3:14 just as I did/do, everywhere he goes. Until at one point he realizes that EVERY TIME he looks at a timepiece, 12 hours or 4hrs or 5 mins or 30 seconds later, IT ALWAYS READS 3:14. Time marches not when it marches on the spot. :)

JBark,

Why couldn't the universe contain an infinitely complex never repeating pattern too?

The universe is definitely irrational! ;)

That happened with me with clocks too except it was 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55!!!

Thankfully there is no 66 past 6!

Your screenplay sounds interesting. Ever had any luck getting anything made?

My good friend Doing Kermit has seen we've been chatting and says your a really cool guy. Nice to "meet" you and chew the fat!

Cheers,

Because if nothing repeats in it, it's not a pattern! And if it contains patterns, Pi is not an irrational, patternless number.

The screenplay is a feature film script still in development. It's finished but there is a nut I can't crack in it - yet! I have several shorts completed and a feature length film I wrote and directed (and co-produced) that has international distribution (straight to video). I have written a book of aphorisms I am hoping to publish soon, and a book that will be of interest to those here about the psychedelic experience and my musings thereof, which I will publish under JBArk, hopefully sooner rather than later (I have 80 pages written and notes enough to double it).

There's my CV. You asked! :)

Doing Kermit is a really cool guy, so it's an honour to be called a really cool guy by a really cool guy. I am guessing you are part of this club too based on the OP.
