What is Truth? Meet Ludwig Wittgenstein

● One of the best Philosophers to ever live

● Master Mathematician● Protégé of Bertrand

Russell● Rejected the callousness

of Language ● 3 Key breakthroughs

which are relevant today

Ludwig WittgensteinBreakthrough #1: Family Resemblance

● Consider the word “Games”

● No 2 types of games are exactly alike

● One essential common feature may in fact be connected by a series of overlapping similarities, where no one feature is common to all of the things

Ludwig WittgensteinBreakthrough #1: Family Resemblance - Applies to the Phenomena

● The Phenomena may not be

connected by 1 essential

feature

● But rather a series of

overlapping similarities

● We should consider the

Phenomena a family of

strange entities and events

Ludwig WittgensteinBreakthrough #2: Explanation vs Description

● Must do away with all explanation

● Description alone must take its place

● Problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have always known. “Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language” (Philosophical Investigations, 1953)

Ludwig WittgensteinBreakthrough #2: Explanation vs Description - The Phenomena

● Must be described● Not explained● Using what we already know● Ie. Subjective experiences,

radar returns, etc

Ludwig WittgensteinBreakthrough #3: Clarity vs Truth

● Our society is described by “progress”

● Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure.

● Which leads to missing out on what’s in front of us the whole time

● Must seek clarity, must seek to experience, rather than some Universal truth

Ludwig WittgensteinBreakthrough #3: Clarity vs Truth - Phenomena must be Experienced

● The best way to learn “the Truth” is to look rather than say

● The phenomenon must be experienced

● Know the limitations of language and logic

● Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to build models for understanding

How Science approaches the Truth● Kevin Bacon invented the

modern Scientific Method in 1620

● Rejected hearsay claims● Anecdotal evidence was not

considered relevant, not valuable

● Wanted provable, repeatable experiences

● Pushed for the value of objective observation (where the subject plays no role)

Only one problem Mr.Bacon...Wigner’s Friend Paradox

Only one problem Mr.Bacon...Wigner’s Friend Paradox

Only one problem Mr.Bacon...

Thus, we have no reason to believe the Scientific Method is as reliable as it was thought to be 400 years ago

Hard Problem of Consciousness● Proposed by Philosopher

David Chalmers● How do we experience

qualia or phenomenal experiences?

● Such as seeing, hearing, and feeling, and knowing what they are.

● In other words, why does specific qualia map to specific neural correlates?

Dreams and the collapse of the wave-function● The wave function in our

dream world only consists of dream characters and the dream world itself

● Since our physical body doesn’t exist according to the strictest definition of the wave function

● How do we experience qualia or phenomenal experiences in dreams?

Thus, the dream world, and all the characters inside of it are equally as real as the real world.

Discriminating against it is anti-scientific. This applies to any and all Realities we find ourselves in!

Dreams and the wave-function

● If your dream characters are just as real as I am then

● Any manifestation of the phenomena in any form is equally real

● Applies to waking encounters, encounters during sleep paralysis and so on..

How does this affect the Phenomena?

How does this affect the Phenomena?

Consequence: We must invent a new subject that studies all realities, indiscriminately. But where do we start?

Introducing Runiversic, the study of all Realities

An Introduction to Runiversic: Etymology● Etymology of Philosophy: Philosophia, Latin

for “love of wisdom”● Etymology of Science: Scientia, Latin for

“Knowledge” ● Etymology of Runiversic: Caritatem

Universum, Latin for “Love for the Universe”

An Introduction to Runiversic: Axioms ● People’s subjective experiences matter● Must not judge or bias perception of

subjective data● Even falsifying data is data, that in the end of

the day represents your reality as described by the wave-function

● Life can exist in unknown forms, and one’s own unique experience is not unique in so far as it is not the only unique experience that exists (Extraterrestrials, Ultraterrestrials, Ghosts, Dream Characters, etc)

An Introduction to Runiversic: Goal ● Establish a mathematically and philosophically

rigorous baseline of all Realities Earth-Humans can exist in

● Master the Science of each Reality (dreams, trance, multiverses, etc)

● Apply this Science to create technology for enhancing the overall experience in these Realities

The dream world follows a largely different set of Physics, and our dream characters have their own biological systems.

These systems follow a different set of biological rules than that of life in the waking realm

Why do we need Runiversic?

Under the Runiversic regime, all sentient creatures (normally called dream characters), are equally but differently sentient than sentient creatures in the waking realm

Thus, there exists creatures in both the waking world and the dream world that can be more sentient, as well as more intelligent or biologically different than what is normally found in either worlds. A pragmatic example includes Alien abductions that occur in the middle of the night

Why do we need Runiversic? An example

The Runiversic Method 1. Describe, but do not explain experiences with each Reality

2. Attempt to categorize experience based on family resemblances

3. What cannot be explained by current Science, Language and Philosophy must then be rigorously updated so a sufficient description of the experience can exist for furthering the Runiversic goals. Then reiterate

Runiversic Outcomes1. Develop technology that lets

us control our dreams and run logically powerful simulations

2. Replicate “Alien Technology”3. Ascertain the origins of

intelligent nonhuman entities and travel there

But How?

Fields of study within Runiversic

● EXOMIMICRY● ANTHROEXOLOGY● LOCATIOGENESIS

Exomimicry Definition ● The systematic design and production of

materials and structures modeled on entities with better technological capabilities than homo sapiens.

● Only one technological capability must be superior to humans for a non-human entity to be worthy of exomimicry. Ie. An ET race more advanced in Method of transportation, manufacturing, psychotronic devices etc.

Exomimicry Example

● Leverage Quantum Hamiltonian-Based Models and the Variational Quantum Thermalizer Algorithm on an idealized Quantum Computer

● Could use Quantum Modular Hamiltonian Learning to determine material composition and structure of “Alien” technology such as the “skin” of the craft

Anthroexology Definition

Study of interactions between humans and nonhuman entities meeting the technological criteria for being worthy of study by the field of exomimicry.

Predicting Sightings Example

● Can we determine a suitable graph representation of contactees/experiencers?

● Can we classify these experiences as a function of nodal degree?

● Can we then use this to predict who will next become an experiencer and which experiencers will end up meeting and when?

Locatiogensis Definition The study of all possible physical and non-physical locations where life can be found. The motivation for its existence is the simple fact that Humans often report interactions with nonhuman intelligences in a multitude of locations: their dreams, altered states of consciousness and physically in the waking state. Rather than unruniversically dismissing all such interactions as hallucinations without proving it, we will establish a formal field that looks at how to prove or disprove the existence of such intelligences, and identifying their location in the Universe (or outside of it whether spatially or otherwise) for the purpose of studying them better. Locatiogenesis requires a strong interdisciplinary effort between fields including philosophy, biology and physics.

Locatiogenesis Example● Work with quantum computing

scientists and biologists to accurately model basic biological processes and necessary chemical reactions for known life

● Use that to simulate what life might look like elsewhere in the Universe and all the ways it would develop

● Work with theoretical biologists, experiencers, philosophers and theoretical physicists to predict life in physical and non-physical dimensionsSource: https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.02071

What’s Next?● As per Wittgenstein’s philosophies, unlike

Science, we already have enough data to start with in studying and advancing different Runiversic fields of research

● Establish our own peer-review committee, scientific institutions and Runiversic method

● Publish papers following Runiversic guidelines to show how it works and why everyone wins within this model, from scientists to experiencers

● Get this subject accepted globally and into the schools of tomorrow
