Hyborian Bridge 172

 I thought I'd write the final.piece on quantum physics as a Hyborian Bridge just to simplify matters. Things can become over-complex.

For s start, quanta impinge on DNA in that any molecule - however big - does have some quanta effects. DNA is perceived as a diffraction pattern or wave.

If you say that this universe is Apollo - logic and light - it approaches the vanishing point of technique (owing to the geometry of light.)

This is equivalent to an electronic unuvrse of zero - the ones and zeros of an AI algorithm.

Inductive reason (Newton) always approaches this because it is pure information that convinces the ego. This is the acolyte Musk in his electrical future.

However, this ignores the physical reality, or the grace of curves and lines and joints of the body.

As has been said previously, different species have similarities based on curves and lines (metamorphosis; trees and limbs). The similarities represent a strength they is primordial and Conan-esque.

The strength of the spiral and the serpent. The warrior is part of this muscular ethos.

MW Kaluta, The Sacrifice

Strength comes from.similarity owing to the primordial reality of the cosmos (see UVS website). Kaluta's print envisages the crudities of the universe in a typical portrayal of the Dionysiac urge. Animal passion over reason.

The profound symmetries of the body are revealed in athletics - the original Greek Games. Symmetry produces simplicity and also subtlety - the two are brought together in the mechanics of nature.

Burne Hogarth (Tarzan), Dynamic Anatomy

Psyche (passion) emanates from the crudity and physical intensity of the power of the body.

A snake or a worm have snake/worm psyche. The curvilinear landscape of nature (Ymir) is outwith inductive reason that deals in pure information ("facts").

A useful way to.put it is to use the ancient Greek dichotomy. Apollo vs Dionysus. The universe is split between logic (Apollo) and passionate crudity (Dionysus).

The Greek maxim was "nothing to excess", and the closer one approaches to Apollo the more of an illusory reality one occupies. This is the pure logic of quantum physics which just produces ever-more mathematics.

The inductive reality goes away from.physical balance, which is strength. The sword of the warrior. An observer needs a balance within their psyche and the way they perceive reality.

Our modern acolytes of sorcerers of number resemble Hyborian sorcerers who are always up against the balanced muscular dynamism of the warrior.

Crudity is strength. Germs are strong and stimulate the immune system to create antibodies. Dirt is the prairie and the rough ways of old.

A haphazard order of curvilinear proportions like the one usually portrayed by Conan artists, is not a product of logic but of primordial balance. This entire old-time order is outwith inductive reason, and that includes really DNA.

DNA spotlights differences between things which are really very similar, such as the curve of a joint, or the throat. The similarities are outwith DNA in that they ate primordial and strong.

Pure information is weak but attracts the ego of acolytes (and hence AI). That can be taken as a sorcerous illusion (of the ego of acolytes of inductive reason).

The Dionysian urge is strong and fecund and naturally symmetrical. The naturalness and the grace and ease and lightness of touch are lost to modernity.

Apollo is a vision, as described by Nietzsche, that has to be countered by physical reality and crudity.
