Dynamic Entities Beyond Spacetime | Conscious Portals - Dr. Don Hoffman, UC Irvine, DSPod #215

Jan 14, 2024
Cognitive psychologist Dr. Donald Hoffman explores dynamic entities beyond spacetime, discussing Markovian dynamics, new mathematics in physics, non-real solutions to physical equations, and spiritual entities. They also delve into consciousness, portals into consciousness, math as a scaffold for understanding, and life as a fractal representation of the whole universe. The podcast addresses the need for science to remain skeptical, the meaning of Hoffman's work, and explores indigenous traditions, conflict negotiation, and the importance of play in learning.

INSIGHT

Space-time's Limitations Revealed

  • Space-time is not fundamental but a limited framework for reality.
  • Physicists and Don Hoffman seek deeper structures outside space-time for true physics.
INSIGHT

Bridging Consciousness and Physics

  • Conscious dynamics modeled as Markovian probabilistic systems.
  • Mapping these onto decorated permutations bridges consciousness and physics.
INSIGHT

Local Realism is a Space-time Mirage

  • Local realism is false inside space-time due to its limited projection.
  • Reality outside space-time transcends physical properties like position and momentum.
