HOLOGRAPHIC REALITY
"The old way of picturing energy lived on in the alchemistic tradition in the idea of Mercurius as a "hidden fire" or fiery life-breath or a kind of life-spirit inherent in all things...This fire-spirit imagines everything in nature; he is a creation spirit who contains in himself "the image of all creatures." In the alchemical opus he must be liberated from his imprisonment in matter and then he begins to rotate in himself, vortex-fashion; at the same time he reveals himself as an immortal component of the alchemist's psyche. By way of the different stages of the so-called phlogiston theory this archetypal image gradually developed into the energy concept of modern physics. There is therefore no concept fundamental to modern physics that is not in one degree or another a differentiated form of some primordial archetypal idea." --(M. L. von Franz, Projection and Recollection in Jungian Psychology)

The Portuguese word "SAUDADE" has no English Equivalent: it describes the feeling of missing something very intensively. The Portuguese also say: "To Yearn for the Future" - Feeling for the connection to a destiny in time that is NOT YET, may be a particular genetic skill.
“If you can approach the world’s complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things.” — Daniel Dennett, Breaking The Spell

Holographic Archetypes
There is a pre-physical, unobservable domain of potentiality in quantum theory. It is the basis of fundamental interconnectedness and wholeness of Reality. The human body is not an object in space, but seamlessly welded to spacetime. We are not merely a phenomenal body of flesh, but one of awareness, of consciousness, a living interface of inner and outer field phenomena. The brain is not confined to our skull, but permeates our whole being through the intracellular matrix and sensory system, as well as the strong EM fields generated by the beating heart.
Our molecular system extends beyond the nervous system and is the bedrock of felt-sense, intuitive, subconscious and unconscious processes. The body has a mind of its own and speaks that mind in gut reactions, body language, dreams, psychosomatics, and literal symptoms. Jung suggested the gods have become diseases. That is, in our unconsciousness of them they have resorted to subverting our bodies in order to be responded to and heard. For example, our collective environmental issues become cancers.
Like psychic DNA, the collective unconscious contains "inherited" psychic material that links us not only to other humans in the present but also to our ancestors from the past. According to Jung's theory, though each of us appears to function independently, in actuality we're all tapped into the same global mind. Symbols interact with and condition our biohologram. Holographic archetypes are embedded in the very fabric of our being and that of our environment.
Archetypes are rooted in or emerge from the holographic source field as attractors, chaotic systems having fractal or reiterative structures that repeat at all levels of observation. They never settle into equilibrium, periodicity, or resonance. Transpersonal experience creates a new interpretation, or perspective on reality. Systems arise from positive feedback and amplification. Thus, archetypes introduce erratic behavior that leads to the emergence of new situations, including creative insight.
All the objects of our world are three-dimensional images formed of standing and moving waves by electromagnetic and nuclear processes. This is the guiding matrix for self-assembly, and manipulating and organizing physical reality. It is how our DNA creates and projects our psychophysical structure. Holograms contain many dimensions of “compressed” information in a subtle network of interacting frequencies.
The gist of the holographic paradigm is that there is a more fundamental reality. There is an invisible flux not comprised of parts, but an inseparable interconnectedness. The holographic paradigm is one of reciprocal enfolding and unfolding of patterns of information. All potential information about the universe is holographically encoded in the spectrum of frequency patterns constantly bombarding us.
Thus, the brain is an embedded hologram, interpreting a holographic universe. (Miller, Webb, Dickson, 1973) All existence consists of embedded holograms within holograms and their interrelatedness somehow gives rise to our existence and sensory images. (Bohm, 1980) When we consciously embody this intimate wisdom, our bodies become temples of the living spirit. We supercharge our potential.
DNA functions in a way that correlates with holographic projection. The code is transformed into physical matter guided by light and sound signals. DNA projects a blueprint for the organism that is translated from the electrodynamic to the molecular level. Further, research strongly suggests DNA functions as a biocomputer. Gariaev described how this DNA-wave biocomputer reads and writes genetic code and forms holographic pre-images of biostructures. We are more fundamentally electromagnetic, rather than chemical beings. DNA is also influenced by the environment, so genetic plasticity is expressed in epigenetics and meta-genetics that turn certain gene sequences on and off.
The Collective Unconscious is essentially a hologram. Nonlocal consciousness is not confined to specific points in space, including brains or bodies, nor to the present moment. It is an ordering principle that can inject information into disorganized or random systems. It can operate beyond mere awareness, unconsciously, drawing on individual and collective consciousness, as well as the world or environment.
Symbols arise from and are embedded in the environment as holographic fields of energy. They are morphogenic veils of primal forces. If your brain acts like a self-contained hologram, it is possible your consciousness is actually a piece of a much larger hologram of overall human consciousness. Jung noticed that patterns spontaneously appear over and over around the world. They also appear as our Ancestral Memories or holographic wisdom field.
In the archetypal world, everyone is the same, all around the world... we are all Gods, and our emotional addictions to pain and suffering, contempt, insecurities, doubt, failure, is holographically-recorded and can be holographically healed. All archetypes are a form of human expression that is both holographic and physical. Physical formations of archetypal sequences cause humans to behave in parallel manners to each ancestor that is associated.
Integration is a function of intentionality -- conscious and unconsciously maintained, or incorporated. Integration occurs both without effort, as a redesign of the central processor of our minds, and voluntarily as a deliberate effort to understand, find meaning, and as rectification of our behavior towards others and towards ourselves.
Imagination is structured by the archetypal potentials of the unconscious. Archetypes structure the possibility to generate and entertain such ideas. The archetype itself cannot be known but structures everything we come to know. Their totality functions as a psychic organ. Universal themes appear in distinct cultural garb.
Over millennia, all the archetypes emerged and recycled in stories, deities and cultural forms. One of the striking points of religious faith is that they aren't true. In early history people didn't know the ‘real' reasons things happened, so it's no surprise that their explanations were wrong. But then, why would we want to retrieve such superstitions?
Kuhn reminds us that even the most absurd or confused explanation of a phenomena can find acceptance in the absence of a competing idea. Social networking feeds us stupefyingly moronic ideas. Once any explanation is offered for a phenomena, many take that as an explanation from that time on. Succeeding speculations might be able to explain the relevant phenomena better than its predecessors. Deities, as archetypal role models, are the opening gambit in the drama of understanding human subjectivity. Folk tales and fads function the same way.
Deities or archetypes may have evolved to smooth interpersonal relations by including an understanding of human types, along with rules for helping the different types relate with one another. They are reflections of ancient evolutionary pressures, with a dash of neuroanatomy. We still have the same pressures today so the ancient archetypes still "work", regardless of objective existence of gods and goddesses. http://zero-point.tripod.com/pantheon/pantheon.html
Burke (2003) describes how the underlying pattern or strange attraction between transference and holography extends to other processes both within and outside the field of psychology. Such processes include projection, projective identification, splitting, memory, biology, creative discovery, theology, synchronicity, chaos, and nonlocality. Identifying the similar patterns of these processes demonstrates the existence of an underlying holographic archetype in which essential qualities of the whole are present in each of the parts of the whole. The autonomy of the overall human is present in each conscious and unconscious component part of the human psyche.
Synchronicity explores the borderland between meaning and spacetime, where chance meets necessity, when external and internal circumstances align in meaningful coincidence. It links the observable and unknowable, the effect of the particular and specific with the universal. In this nonlocal effect, certain qualities manifest relatively simultaneously in different or proximate places. It is a parallelism that cannot be explained causally. Is it an invisible field effect linking multidimensional spaces?
Cognition, itself is a holographic archetype. Many essential qualities of the whole are reflected or contained in each of the parts that make up that whole. It is a subtle net of metaphor, analogy and simile. Holographic archetypes effectively echo their resonant patterns through literal and symbolic reflectaphors. The passing forms of the holographic archetype include the hologram, psychic structure, synchronicity, wisdom traditions, memory, the process of scientific discovery, chaos in physics, nonlocality and virtuality in physics.
As unconscious structuring principle, the archetype lies beyond normal consciousness and emerges suddenly and dynamically from the (holographic) psychoid field, with a powerful emotional charge that invests it with significance. Everything that happens is conditioned by the moment in which it happens. The universal field imposes the conditions. Matter is not inert but receptive to holistic patterning. If the mythic world taught our ancestors how to manipulate the empirical world, it also taught them to manipulate that mythic narrative itself for control purposes. Socioeconomic power enforces its mythic narrative.

If the mythic world taught our ancestors how to manipulate the empirical world, it also taught them to manipulate that mythic narrative itself for control purposes. Socioeconomic power enforces its mythic narrative.
Psychoid Field
Consciousness rests upon and is organized by its archetypal forms and foundations. Dig far enough into an intense inner experience and you eventually come to the mythological, ageless themes that indicate an activated archetype. Just as an instinct is activated by a certain situation it bears an image of, so is an archetype. Also, its psychoid base puts it beyond both matter and psyche, though it has qualities of both. Although archetypes are energic power sources, they need libido from the ego for their images to rise into consciousness.
The psychoid field imposes holistic function. Autonomous inner forces arouse compelling opportunities to enact archetypal behaviors. They guide our perceptions and behavior, usually without our awareness. Limbic action of complexes is a big part of the holistic dynamics of the psyche. Dreams report what goes on beneath the veil of conscious awareness. To the consciousness of the 'thinker', knowledge is thought. Period. Without thought, the consciousness of the 'thinker' collapses into psychosis.
With archetypes come the potential for wisdom, relatedness, sociality, ambiguity, paranoia, projection, identification, denial, inflation, subpersonalities (fragmentation), defensiveness, obsession, hypnotic dissociation, the contagion of participation mystique, mythologizing, complexes, compensation, phobias, prejudices, complexes (interference by an archetype or group of archetypes with the conscious personality), our runaway ego-trips, and self-delusion. Compensation may calm or disturb consciousness.
There is no imperative for the ego to integrate these alternative perspectives, private and public myths. They continually play through us, stimulating beliefs, ideas, emotions and behavior. The unconscious can produce deep wisdom and utter nonsense. It is up to the ego to discriminate. The value of myths is purely heuristic, not pragmatic. Mythological consciousness has a persona, cultural and archetypal dimension that manifests in dreams, fantasies, delusion and visions.
Truth is a revelation of what we already know but haven’t heard in words before. In truth we discover what we already know but haven’t confronted. Truth as a judgment is the product of our experience. In our belief systems, truth is what we accept of our history, what we accept as truth. We choose truth, which is revealed in direct proportion to our ability to discard all we were previously told is true - presumptions, assumed truths, limited self image.
The Archetypal Field
The closer we come to the deep core of any archetypal experience the more the numinous effect increases, as a confrontation with a power not of this world. The fusional field is invisible to normal perception but contains a welter of unprocessed information. The fusional complex is an archetypal pattern that organizes life between the known and the unknown. We rarely attend to the deep experiential field we experience with another person in our bodiies.
Often, we tend to avoid it as the dreaded traumatic state of fear of the void, a nothingness, a bottomless pit, or demonic force -- the instabilities in ourself or another or the boundless inchoate flux of impossible opposites. Cultures are also susceptible to it at the collective level. It is a constant companion in the creative as well as spiritual transformative life.
The embodiment of any new form of consciousness and its associated self image comes in this challenging manner. But such powerlessness and nothingness is the anxiety-provoking inexorable pull of the void, which leads to dissociation as a defense against letting go. Attempts to meet the chaos, rather than dissociate lead to change. Even when the numinous is negative it carries the sacredness of the archetype. We learn to lean into the field and feel its chaos without imposing premature order.
The field is a paradox of fusion and distance, an impossible simultaneity that brings anxiety. We need to practice seeing the field, as well as seeing into and through it. It is never conveyed by interpretation, but only by experiential perception. Non-ordinary perception evolves through kinesthetic perception. It calms the chaos of the transition and allows the new self to emerge as a living reality. We have to maintain faith in the process. Movement from the timeless into temporal existence is a creative passage. With a sense of containment within a higher dimensional field, the opposites reconcile and new potential is created. The field becomes the focus.

Empirical Evidence Supporting Macro-Scale Quantum Holography in Non-Local Effects
by M. Sue Benford
Journal of Theoretics
URL: http://www.journaloftheoretics.com/Articles/2-5/Benford.htm
This paper presents a plausible theory of quantum holography and reveals new empirical evidence documenting the existence of such effects on a macro-level.
After reviewing generally known examples of holographic properties in physical and biological systems (Aspect's 1982 experiment, chemical oscillations and cellular oscillation dynamics, dolphins and bats' acoustic waves, functional MRI principles, Penrose-Hameroff experimental data on brain microtubular quantum processing, the DNA-Phantom effect), the author focuses on research done since 1951 on the applicability of the Dela Warr imaging system (1950) to early diagnosis of various disease conditions. Using only a test object provided by the subject (such as a small sample of blood, sputum or hair), this device photographically images the subject's internal conditions at a distance, with a high degree of accuracy. This process is sensitive enough to diagnose conditions earlier than conventional techniques such as X-ray, CT-scan and MRI. The theory is that the Dela Warr system is detecting quantum holographic information (shared by the sample and donor system through the "distributedness" property): the frequency information associated with a particular condition is present from the beginning of the transition (pathological) process, even before physiological changes have occurred on the macro-scale, and that is what is recorded photographically. In a project instituted at the St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London, more than 400 images have been obtained using a drop of blood as the "witness", or test object, for each patient - then the validating data was abstracted from the medical records or autopsy files after the remote images had been produced. Imaged obtained in this fashion (with the doctor blinded to the patient condition) demonstrated that the operator's prior knowledge was not a factor in producing diagnostic-quality photographs.
Another discovery of great significance was made by the author recently, who found that Dela Warr images produce spatially-encoded three-dimensional effects, similar to those possible via fMRI, when processed by a VP-8 Image Analyzer or Bryce4 Software. Both techniques convert image density (lights and darks) into vertical relief (shadows and highlights). When used with normal photographs or X-rays, these systems yield characteristically distorted jumbles of "shapes"; however, the Dela Warr photographs result in very accurate and well formed 3-D reliefs, which allow the observer to select numerous viewing angles, even full rotation around the object. Moreover, certain information about the object is only available in the 3-D reconsctruction, and not from the original photographs - such as the complex curvature of a wire lodged in a cow's stomach, and which was represented in the 2-D image only as a highlighted line.
The author suggests that a reference wave originating from the directed intention of the camera operator is put in circuit with the object wave, combining to create a holographic interference pattern which is recorded on the photographic material. The possibility of information transfer between test object, camera operator and photographic plate is further supported by evidence from a 1993 experiment, in which C. Bennett and his scientific team demonstrated that photon quantum informational characteristics cand be transmitted instantaneously between two laboratories independent of space-time, via EPR entanglement.
QuantaGraphy: Images from the Quantum Hologram
by M. Sue Benford, Peter Moscow, Edgar Mitchell and Peter Marcer
presented at the Fifth CASYS Conference, Liege 2001
URL: www.homestead.com/newvistas/CASYS.htmlor

The proposed theory behind radionic photography (QuantaGraphy) is presented in this paper, together with further evidence supporting the existence of macroscopic quantum holographic phenomena. A detailed comparison is made between the components and operating principles behind MRI technology and the DelaWarr camera, leading to the conclusion that the mind of the operator must act as a source of energy (reference beam).
The elements of this theory are as follows:
1. there exists in nature a non-local quantum holographic representation of macro-scale objects
2. each substance/object possesses unique spectral signatures and patterns corresponding to quantum mechanically determined material phase transition points
3. spatially encoded holographic information can be recorded on a photographic emulsion (or, as in the case of Abrams' work, on physical and biological objects)
4. the precondition for production of a quantum holographic image is one of phase-conjugate-adaptive-resonance (pcar); it is postulated that the mind of the operator is able to identify the point of resonance, which signifies the image being sought, performing what is in effect a quantum holographic measurement (acting as a QH transducer).
5. it is proposed that the test object (a small subject sample) emits a complete quantum hologram, representative of the subject for the condition tested, and that such a hologram represents quantum entanglement/coherence with the subject under special resonant conditions created by the operator's intent.
The article also discusses Abrams' original diagnosis and treatment devices using weak EM energy as modified by illness-specific "rates" (variable electrical resistance); the quantum potential as a description of a new type of energy (also attributed to the zero-point field) associated with quantum gauge field effects; and quantum teleportation as experimentally demonstrated by Sudbery in 1997, where a "quantum communication channel" T was established by a pair of entangled particles, one held by the sender, and one by the receiver (by measuring a joint property of the "message" particle and T, the entanglement instantaneously caused a related change in the receiver's particle). Finally, there is a brief review of work by Marcer and Mitchell discussing the extension of quantum mechanical effects to the scale of the cosmos and all objects within, whereby each object has associated with it a virtual object image possessing a geometric phase (gauge invariant phase of the quantum field) which, under pcar conditions, would be a quantum holographic pattern entirely characteristic of the object in question.
The article concludes by noting a recent European study comparing distant healing modalities, and which found radionics to produce twice the effect of any other method. The effectiveness of radionic techniques is attributed to the creation of an energetic/informational instrumental bridge between operator and target, which presumably facilitates the "tuning" (amplification? LS) of the operator's perceptive abilities. It is suggested that the basis for such healing and similar distant interactions is a universal field (like the quantum potential) to which individual Brain-Mind-Consciousness complexes are connected, which have the ability to resonate with target information (become entangled with the target) either via sensory contact or an icon sufficiently representing the target (coordinate? LS). The prerequisite need for human intention/anticipation as part of this model makes it imperative that future research focus on designing new methods to calibrate and control such "intangible" mental inputs.
"Why are we still not able to successfully treat cancer and HIV?"

A daring and provocative argument is put forth by the authors of this paper, who challenge the limits of the genetic code triplet model and propose instead a dual, substantive/wave basis for the encoding and expression of genetic material. The wave-like, non-local aspect of genetic regulation is recorded at the polarization level of DNA-associated photons, and the genome is seen as a quasi-hologram of light and radio waves which create the background necessary for the appropriate expression of genetic material.
Some of the experimental evidence cited in support of this new model is extensively reviewed: 1. the ability of DNA and chromatin in vitro to be pumped in as a laser-active medium for consequent light laser generation; 2. the fact that 95-98% of a genome represents non-coding sequences which have been shown (by statistical analysis using the Zipf-Mandelbrot law) to have more in common with natural languages and demonstrate significantly greater long-distance correlations, than coding sequences; 3. the existence of homonymous-synonymous ambiguities of genetic texts; 4. the virus-like strain specificity of prions in the absence of genetic material; and 5. laboratory research carried out by Yu. V. Dzang Kangeng, who demonstrated wave transmission of genetic information to change hereditary characteristics of biological accepting objects. Kangeng used specific polarization forms to split a high frequency EM beam into two components which were repeatedly passed through the donor and accepting biosystems, resulting in the production of recognizable hen-duck hybrids from irradiated hen eggs, and hybrid peanut-sunflower plants from irradiated sunflower seeds. Although Kangeng provides no theoretical interpretation of the operational device, the authors' previous work with laser mirrors closely parallels his protocol, leading them to conclude that the polarized laser beam split into orthogonal waves which, by repeated passing through the optically active donor DNA and multiple interference with itself, lead to the phenomenon of photon field localization (information recording); 6. the authors' own experiments with polarization-laser-radio-wave (PLRW) spectroscopy, whereby they used electromagnetic waves to "repair" the genetic information of old radioactively-damaged seeds from the Chernobyl area (1987).
The authors argue that the genome emits light and radio-waves whose delocalized interference patterns create calibration fields (blueprints) for a system's space-time organization. This holographic-type information is being constantly and simultaneously read in billions of cells, accounting for the quick coordinated response typical of living systems. On the basis of this model, it is suggested that the activation of oncogenes and xenobiotic HIV sequences is dependent on genome holographic processes and therefore that future research in these high-profile areas should focus on the factors modulating such EM field characteristics (such as external artificial modified fields) in addition to local, molecular biology approaches. For example, protective wave programs recorded on high topologies of chromosome mesomorphic phases need only be slightly distorted (such as by temperature drops), before influenza virus genetic material is allowed to enter the semantic space of a cell and start reproducing. The evolutionary response of the organism (fever) may be a means of "submelting" the mesomorphic phases of the virus nucleic acid, erasing the wave programs it needs to attack the host's semantic space. Similar mechanisms of wave disruption ("wave vaccines") need to be studied in the future, providing a more effective and less invasive alternative to current pharmaceutical treatments.

This paper presents a plausible theory of quantum holography and reveals new empirical evidence documenting the existence of such effects on a macro-level.
After reviewing generally known examples of holographic properties in physical and biological systems (Aspect's 1982 experiment, chemical oscillations and cellular oscillation dynamics, dolphins and bats' acoustic waves, functional MRI principles, Penrose-Hameroff experimental data on brain microtubular quantum processing, the DNA-Phantom effect), the author focuses on research done since 1951 on the applicability of the Dela Warr imaging system (1950) to early diagnosis of various disease conditions. Using only a test object provided by the subject (such as a small sample of blood, sputum or hair), this device photographically images the subject's internal conditions at a distance, with a high degree of accuracy. This process is sensitive enough to diagnose conditions earlier than conventional techniques such as X-ray, CT-scan and MRI. The theory is that the Dela Warr system is detecting quantum holographic information (shared by the sample and donor system through the "distributedness" property): the frequency information associated with a particular condition is present from the beginning of the transition (pathological) process, even before physiological changes have occurred on the macro-scale, and that is what is recorded photographically. In a project instituted at the St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London, more than 400 images have been obtained using a drop of blood as the "witness", or test object, for each patient - then the validating data was abstracted from the medical records or autopsy files after the remote images had been produced. Imaged obtained in this fashion (with the doctor blinded to the patient condition) demonstrated that the operator's prior knowledge was not a factor in producing diagnostic-quality photographs.
Another discovery of great significance was made by the author recently, who found that Dela Warr images produce spatially-encoded three-dimensional effects, similar to those possible via fMRI, when processed by a VP-8 Image Analyzer or Bryce4 Software. Both techniques convert image density (lights and darks) into vertical relief (shadows and highlights). When used with normal photographs or X-rays, these systems yield characteristically distorted jumbles of "shapes"; however, the Dela Warr photographs result in very accurate and well formed 3-D reliefs, which allow the observer to select numerous viewing angles, even full rotation around the object. Moreover, certain information about the object is only available in the 3-D reconsctruction, and not from the original photographs - such as the complex curvature of a wire lodged in a cow's stomach, and which was represented in the 2-D image only as a highlighted line.
The author suggests that a reference wave originating from the directed intention of the camera operator is put in circuit with the object wave, combining to create a holographic interference pattern which is recorded on the photographic material. The possibility of information transfer between test object, camera operator and photographic plate is further supported by evidence from a 1993 experiment, in which C. Bennett and his scientific team demonstrated that photon quantum informational characteristics cand be transmitted instantaneously between two laboratories independent of space-time, via EPR entanglement.
QuantaGraphy: Images from the Quantum Hologram

The proposed theory behind radionic photography (QuantaGraphy) is presented in this paper, together with further evidence supporting the existence of macroscopic quantum holographic phenomena. A detailed comparison is made between the components and operating principles behind MRI technology and the DelaWarr camera, leading to the conclusion that the mind of the operator must act as a source of energy (reference beam).
The elements of this theory are as follows:
1. there exists in nature a non-local quantum holographic representation of macro-scale objects
2. each substance/object possesses unique spectral signatures and patterns corresponding to quantum mechanically determined material phase transition points
3. spatially encoded holographic information can be recorded on a photographic emulsion (or, as in the case of Abrams' work, on physical and biological objects)
4. the precondition for production of a quantum holographic image is one of phase-conjugate-adaptive-resonance (pcar); it is postulated that the mind of the operator is able to identify the point of resonance, which signifies the image being sought, performing what is in effect a quantum holographic measurement (acting as a QH transducer).
5. it is proposed that the test object (a small subject sample) emits a complete quantum hologram, representative of the subject for the condition tested, and that such a hologram represents quantum entanglement/coherence with the subject under special resonant conditions created by the operator's intent.
The article also discusses Abrams' original diagnosis and treatment devices using weak EM energy as modified by illness-specific "rates" (variable electrical resistance); the quantum potential as a description of a new type of energy (also attributed to the zero-point field) associated with quantum gauge field effects; and quantum teleportation as experimentally demonstrated by Sudbery in 1997, where a "quantum communication channel" T was established by a pair of entangled particles, one held by the sender, and one by the receiver (by measuring a joint property of the "message" particle and T, the entanglement instantaneously caused a related change in the receiver's particle). Finally, there is a brief review of work by Marcer and Mitchell discussing the extension of quantum mechanical effects to the scale of the cosmos and all objects within, whereby each object has associated with it a virtual object image possessing a geometric phase (gauge invariant phase of the quantum field) which, under pcar conditions, would be a quantum holographic pattern entirely characteristic of the object in question.
The article concludes by noting a recent European study comparing distant healing modalities, and which found radionics to produce twice the effect of any other method. The effectiveness of radionic techniques is attributed to the creation of an energetic/informational instrumental bridge between operator and target, which presumably facilitates the "tuning" (amplification? LS) of the operator's perceptive abilities. It is suggested that the basis for such healing and similar distant interactions is a universal field (like the quantum potential) to which individual Brain-Mind-Consciousness complexes are connected, which have the ability to resonate with target information (become entangled with the target) either via sensory contact or an icon sufficiently representing the target (coordinate? LS). The prerequisite need for human intention/anticipation as part of this model makes it imperative that future research focus on designing new methods to calibrate and control such "intangible" mental inputs.
"Why are we still not able to successfully treat cancer and HIV?"

A daring and provocative argument is put forth by the authors of this paper, who challenge the limits of the genetic code triplet model and propose instead a dual, substantive/wave basis for the encoding and expression of genetic material. The wave-like, non-local aspect of genetic regulation is recorded at the polarization level of DNA-associated photons, and the genome is seen as a quasi-hologram of light and radio waves which create the background necessary for the appropriate expression of genetic material.
Some of the experimental evidence cited in support of this new model is extensively reviewed: 1. the ability of DNA and chromatin in vitro to be pumped in as a laser-active medium for consequent light laser generation; 2. the fact that 95-98% of a genome represents non-coding sequences which have been shown (by statistical analysis using the Zipf-Mandelbrot law) to have more in common with natural languages and demonstrate significantly greater long-distance correlations, than coding sequences; 3. the existence of homonymous-synonymous ambiguities of genetic texts; 4. the virus-like strain specificity of prions in the absence of genetic material; and 5. laboratory research carried out by Yu. V. Dzang Kangeng, who demonstrated wave transmission of genetic information to change hereditary characteristics of biological accepting objects. Kangeng used specific polarization forms to split a high frequency EM beam into two components which were repeatedly passed through the donor and accepting biosystems, resulting in the production of recognizable hen-duck hybrids from irradiated hen eggs, and hybrid peanut-sunflower plants from irradiated sunflower seeds. Although Kangeng provides no theoretical interpretation of the operational device, the authors' previous work with laser mirrors closely parallels his protocol, leading them to conclude that the polarized laser beam split into orthogonal waves which, by repeated passing through the optically active donor DNA and multiple interference with itself, lead to the phenomenon of photon field localization (information recording); 6. the authors' own experiments with polarization-laser-radio-wave (PLRW) spectroscopy, whereby they used electromagnetic waves to "repair" the genetic information of old radioactively-damaged seeds from the Chernobyl area (1987).
The authors argue that the genome emits light and radio-waves whose delocalized interference patterns create calibration fields (blueprints) for a system's space-time organization. This holographic-type information is being constantly and simultaneously read in billions of cells, accounting for the quick coordinated response typical of living systems. On the basis of this model, it is suggested that the activation of oncogenes and xenobiotic HIV sequences is dependent on genome holographic processes and therefore that future research in these high-profile areas should focus on the factors modulating such EM field characteristics (such as external artificial modified fields) in addition to local, molecular biology approaches. For example, protective wave programs recorded on high topologies of chromosome mesomorphic phases need only be slightly distorted (such as by temperature drops), before influenza virus genetic material is allowed to enter the semantic space of a cell and start reproducing. The evolutionary response of the organism (fever) may be a means of "submelting" the mesomorphic phases of the virus nucleic acid, erasing the wave programs it needs to attack the host's semantic space. Similar mechanisms of wave disruption ("wave vaccines") need to be studied in the future, providing a more effective and less invasive alternative to current pharmaceutical treatments.
Holographic Paradigm
Holographic paradigm The holographic paradigm is a form of quantum mysticism extrapolated from two theories:
* That the universe is in some sense a holographic structure — proposed by David Bohm
* That consciousness is dependent on holographic structure — proposed by Karl PribramThis paradigm posits that theories utilizing holographic structures may lead to a unified understanding of consciousness and the universe.
Background
The holographic paradigm is rooted in the concept that all organisms and forms are holograms embedded within a universal hologram, which physicist David Bohm [Bohm, David (1980) Wholeness and the Implicate Order, Routledge, London.] called the "holomovement". It is an extrapolation of the optical discovery of 2-dimensional holograms by Dennis Gabor in 1947. [Professor T.E. Allibone CBE, FRS. “THE LIFE AND WORK OF DENNIS GABBOR, HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CYBERNETICS, PHILOSOPHY AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES, 1900 – 1979”. http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:NMpfXYlo-RsJ:www.cybsoc.org/GaborAllibone.doc+dennis+gabor+holograms+book&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us] Holography created an explosion of scientific and industrial interest starting in 1948.
Engineer Thomas Bearden describes holograms as:
photographic recordings of the patterns of interference between coherent light reflected from the object of interest, and light that comes directly from the same source or is reflected by a mirror. When this photo image is illuminated from behind by coherent light, a three-dimensional image of the object appears in space. The characteristic of a hypothetically perfect hologram is that all its content is contained in any finite part of itself (at lower resolution). Observationally and perceptually, the universe is a hologram and in each part of itself, since all of it can be detected from/in each internal particle. [Beardon, Thomas (1980, 1988, 2002), Excalibur Briefing, Strawberry Hill Press, San Francisco.] In 1973, what has come to be known as the Pribram-Bohm Holographic Model was non-existent. But the Seattle thinktank, Organization for the Advancement of Knowledge (OAK), led by Richard Alan Miller and Burt Webb, were able to synthesize the work of Northrup and Burr on the electromagnetic nature of the human being with Dennis Gabor's work on optical holograms and come up with a new notion – a holographic paradigm.
In Languages of the Brain (1971), Pribram [Pribram, Karl (1971), Languages of the Brain, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs: New Jersey.] had postulated that 2-dimensional interference patterns, physical holograms, underlie all thinking. The holographic component, for him, represented the associative mechanisms and contributed to memory retrieval and storage and problem solving.
However, Miller, Webb and Dickson extrapolated that the holographic metaphor extends to n-dimensions and therefore constitutes a fundamental description of the universe and our electromagnetic embedding within that greater field. It suggested the human energy body or bioenergetics was more fundamental than the biochemical domain.
The "Holographic Concept of Reality" (1973) [Miller, R.A., Webb, B. Dickson, D. (1975), “A Holographic Concept of Reality,” Psychoenergetic Systems Journal Vol. 1, 1975. 55-62. Gordon & Breach Science Publishers Ltd., Great Britain. "Holographic Concept" was later reprinted in the hardback book Psychoenergetic Systems, Stanley Krippner, editor. 1979. 231-237. Gordon & Breach, New York, London, Paris. It was reprinted again in the journal Psychedelic Monographs and Essays, Vol. 5, 1992. 93-111. Boynton Beach, FL, Tom Lyttle, Editor. Accessed 6/07: http://www.geocities.com/iona_m/Chaosophy/chaosophy13.html] was presented at the 1st Psychotronic Conference in Prague in 1973, and later published by Gordon & Breach in 1975, and again in 1979 in Psychoenergetic Systems: the Interaction of Consciousness, Energy and Matter, edited by Dr. Stanley Krippner.
Miller and Webb followed up their ground-breaking paper with "Embryonic Holography," [Miller, R. A., Webb. B., “Embryonic Holography,” Psychoenergetic Systems, Stanley Krippner, Ed. Presented at the Omniversal Symposium, California State College at Sonoma, Saturday, September 29, 1973. Reprinted in Lyttle's journal Psychedelic Monographs and Essays, Vol. 6, 1993. 137-156. Accessed 6/07: http://www.geocities.com/iona_m/Chaosophy/chaosophy14.html] which was also presented at the Omniversal Symposium at California State College at Sonoma, hosted by Dr. Stanley Krippner, September 29, 1973. Arguably, this is the first paper to address the quantum biological properties of human beings--the first illustrations of the sources of quantum mindbody.
The premise is based in this hypothesis:
The organization of any biological system is established by a complex electrodynamic field which is, in part, determined by its atomic physiochemical components. This field, in turn, determines the behavior and orientation of these components. This dynamic is mediated through wave-based genomes wherein DNA functions as the holographic projector of the psychophysical system - a "quantum biohologram".Dropping a level of observation below quantum biochemistry and conventional biophysics, this holographic paradigm proposes that a biohologram determines the development of the human embryo; that we are a quantum bodymind with consciousness informing the whole process through the level of information. They postulated DNA as the possible holographic projector of the biohologram, patterning the three-dimensional electromagnetic standing and moving wave front that constitutes our psychophysical being -- quantum bioholography.
Recent development
The Gariaev (Garyaev) group (1994) [Gariaev, Peter, Boris Birshtein, Alexander Iarochenko, et al, “The DNA-wave Biocomputer.”] has proposed a theory of the Wave-based Genome where the DNA-wave functions as a Biocomputer. They suggest (1) that there are genetic "texts", similar to natural context-dependent texts in human language; (2) that the chromosome apparatus acts simultaneously both as a source and receiver of these genetic texts, respectively decoding and encoding them; (3) that the chromosome continuum acts like a dynamical holographic grating, which displays or transduces weak laser light and solitonic electro-acoustic fields. [Miller, Iona, Miller, R.A. and Burt Webb (2002), “Quantum Bioholography: A Review of the Field from 1973-2002.” Journal of Non-Locality and Remote Mental Interactions Vol.I, Nr. 3. Accessed 6/11/07. http://www.emergentmind.org/MillerWebbI3a.htm]
The distribution of the character frequency in genetic texts is fractal, so the nucleotides of DNA molecules are able to form holographic pre-images of biostructures. This process of "reading and writing" the very matter of our being manifests from the genome's associative holographic memory in conjunction with its quantum nonlocality. Rapid transmission of genetic information and gene-expression unite the organism as holistic entity embedded in the larger Whole. The system works as a biocomputer -- a wave biocomputer.

On the universe with a sum of zero: consider a pair of virtual particles that spontaneously appear and then annihilate. The sum is zero in every respect ~ no energy, no mass, no effect on the world. But if an observer somehow detects this brief existence then even if the virtual pair disappear as above they will have left information which persists in the world. This information is cumulative. One of the differences between living and nonliving systems is the accumulation of information. This accumulation pushes the zero sum toward a positive value whereby information is accumulated even if all the constituents of that information: virtual particles, animals, humans, and so on ~ disappear without any trace at all and return the sum of the energy+mass balance to zero.

Some 2,500 years ago the Buddhist text, the Avatamsaka Sutra, described the cosmos allegorically through the imagery of Indra’s net. In the heavenly abode of the deity Indra, there was cast an infinite net reaching in all directions, and at each node point in the net there was a jewel, each reflecting the light of all the others—infinitely. Should any jewel be touched, each of the infinite other jewels would instantly be affected, presaging Bell’s theorem that everything is interconnected in this interdependent universe.
The Buddhist vision essentially describes a holographic universe—our holographic universe. In The Tao of Physics, Capra explains the relevance of Indra’s net to particle physics, stating that “particles are dynamically composed of one another in a self-consistent way, and in that sense can be said to ‘contain’ one another.” This is a principle of the hologram: that each part contains within it the information that codes for the whole. In other words, all information fundamentally exists nonlocally, infinitely reflected in all the facets of existence.
So, what is a hologram? A hologram is produced when a single laser light is split into two separate beams. The first beam is bounced off the object to be photographed. Then the second beam is allowed to collide with the reflected light of the first on photographic emulsion (film), creating and recording an interference pattern that looks something like the concentric rings that form when a handful of pebbles is tossed into a pond. But as soon as another laser beam (or in some instances just a bright light source) is shined through the film, a three-dimensional image of the original object reappears. What’s more, if the image is, for example, cut down the middle, or even divided into dozens of fragments, each section will contain not a particular section of the object, but the whole thing (albeit at a lower resolution). The information is essentially distributed nonlocally throughout the holographic film. The hologram’s ability to store and process massive amounts of data is essentially due to the properties of light, which, incidentally, the body’s own DNA and cellular systems all use to communicate throughout our physical organism. The photon itself is considered to be localized information in its purest form.(1)
In 1997, a young physicist named Juan Maldacena used M-theory and branes (D-branes to be exact) to suggest that the manifest world in its entirety could be a holographic projection of information embodied in its boundary. The latest discoveries across all scientific disciplines are revealing the physical world (and its multifarious phenomena) is imbued with and in-formed by a holographic field, thus it is innately interrelated, coherent, and harmonic at all scales of existence.(2) Recently, German scientists using equipment for detecting gravitational waves encountered a particular and unexpected noise, possibly the sound of the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time, according to Craig Hogan, a physicist at Fermilab in Illinois. Hogan had actually predicted the existence of this sound and approached the Germans with his explanation, suspecting that it may be due to the universe being a “giant cosmic hologram.”(3)
Cosmologists have found that the entire universe can be described as a type of hologram, or as interference patterns in space and time. Physicist Raphael Bousso wrote: “The amazing thing is that the holographic principle works for all areas in all space times.”(4) Further proving this applies to all scales, researchers at IBM created a holographic projection in a carefully arranged assembly of several dozen cobalt atoms 20 nanometers in diameter. When they inserted a magnetic cobalt atom into the ellipse, a fully configured ghostly image of it also appeared at the other focus of the ellipse.(5)
Indeed, David Bohm and Karl Pribram discovered the holographic properties of nature concurrently for themselves, working as they were in the physical domain and the realm of the human brain, respectively. The information within a system is more fundamental than the energy through which it expresses itself, and the probabilities that describe a system are never random, as they are often wrongly interpreted; instead, they always embody information, whether they describe quantum possibilities or macro phenomena in the physical world.(6) Everything is fundamentally informational. Noted physicist Anton Zeilinger states succinctly in Dance of the Photons that the concepts of reality and information cannot be separated from each other.(7)
This is illustrated brilliantly by Thomas Chalko in his excellent article Is Chance or Choice the Essence of Nature? on apparent electromagnetic (EM) randomness being broadcast over the frequencies of a digital mobile phone network which college students—unaware that the frequencies they were observing belonged to actual ‘intelligent’ conversations between living people—were instructed to investigate. The students analyzed the data using a statistical approach that allowed them to actually make predictions of many events within their frequency band. They had become quite convinced that their theory actually “described the Reality,” and statistically speaking, it did to some extent. However, Chalko points out that by adopting a statistical approach the students completely missed millions of very real intelligent phone conversations. “Our students just couldn’t imagine that what appeared to them as ‘random’ was actually the consequence of a very intelligently encoded information transfer. As a result—they didn’t even try to decode anything.”(8)
The inference is clear: true randomness is an illusion, an artefact of limited perception and knowledge. The universe deals in intelligently encoded information that is intrinsically meaningful and thereby creates an ordered and meaningful cosmos, but there are many ways to analyse and extract information and meaning from the one system (complimentarity). The phone calls taking place between people manifested within the EM band as seemingly random fluctuations, but in reality these fluctuations were the result of conscious choices being made each moment by the people holding the conversations that possessed and expressed meaning to them and their own particular methods of analysis. The phone calls taking place looked random to the students because of the way they looked at them; they were not decoding them in a way that allowed them to extract or perceive the embedded meaning within privy to the speakers. What if the quantum field’s ‘random’ quantum fluctuations are really the functions or effects of the language being spoken by the holographic cosmos as it converses nonlocally between its many and varied component parts? What if lurking behind it all is conscious choice—on a scale we can barely begin to comprehend? What if the ancients were right, and modern science has brought us full circle back to a teleological cosmology, one in which we are no longer the centrepiece of a dead and meaningless universe, but, as conscious beings, an integral part of an intelligent and fundamentally conscious holographic multiverse?
In a holographic and self-referencing (fractal) universe, if sentience and intelligence exists at one scale, it must exist on all of them. It is interesting that Bohm’s research into plasmas yielded the observation that electrons in a plasma configuration began to act as if they were part of a larger, interconnected whole, so much so that he frequently had the impression that the electron sea was ‘alive.’ Mircea Sanduloviciu and colleagues have even created plasma spheres that can grow, replicate and communicate, fulfilling most traditional requirements for biological/living cells.(9)
Scaling things up, single-celled slime moulds demonstrate the ability to memorize and anticipate repeated events, a team of Japanese researchers reported in January 2008. The study clearly shows “a primitive version of brain function” in an organism with no brain at all.(10) In the late 19th century, over 110 years ago, Cienkowsky observed the feeding activities of the amoeba Colpadella Pugnax and found them so poignantly indicative of intelligence that he remarked that “one is almost inclined to see in them consciously acting beings!”(11) Scaling up still further, in his fascinating 1919 study, Modern Psychical Phenomena, Hereward Carrington detailed rigorous experiments on a group of especially talented horses which were capable of carrying out complex mental arithmetic—beyond even the mathematical abilities of the scientific men testing them! Their intelligence and communicative abilities with humans surpassed anything previously expected of the equine species.
Knowing that we have this incredible universe ostensibly permeated with intelligence at all scales, the holographic principle demands that these different expressions of consciousness must be integrated and woven together in a unified psychic tapestry; interconnected in ways unrestricted by space-time (nonlocally). This is what psychical research and parapsychology have overwhelmingly shown. (I cite many experiments proving this point in The Grand Illusion 1.)
Dean Radin analysed the results of variations of staring experiments, constituting 33,357 trials over sixty experiments. The objective in these experiments was for the subject to attempt to ‘guess’ correctly exactly when they were being stared at when they had no ‘normal’ way of knowing. The overall success rate was 54.5% as opposed to the 50% expected by chance, registering odds against chance of 202 octodecillion (that’s 2 × 1059) to one. Even accounting for an estimated six unreported ‘negative’ studies, odds against chance remained absurdly high at 1046 to one.(12) There is an indisputable though subtle observer effect on living systems, in other words. Some sort of subtle info-energetic transfer in the consciousness or time domain (aether) is precipitated merely by paying attention, suggesting we info-energetically ‘communicate’ with and feed whatever it is we focus on. The research of the Global Consciousness Project (GCP) has yielded irrefutable proof of the link between the quantum sea/vacuum and processes occurring within the collective human mind on earth. The GCP has set up all around the globe, some 65 (as at 2007(13)) random number generators (RNGs) whose data is fed into the internet and linked back to Princeton University. The team looks for correlations in the data between the RNGs. For instance, in data from four hours before the September 11 terrorist attacks (which, according to the FBI and the notorious Dick Cheney, cannot be evidentially linked to Osama Bin Laden, and certainly not to the bare minimum seven ‘hijackers’ who turned up alive after the fact), they found an enormous level of coherence between the RNGs, indicating a hyperdimensional ‘forewarning’ of a large impending event and collective subconscious focusing on it. The period immediately surrounding the event shows a huge spike in coherence as humanity’s collective mind was focused consciously on events as they unfolded. The same results occurred before the Asian tsunami of 2004 and during the funeral service of Princess Diana.(14) The September 11 RNGs’ deviations from chance represented the largest such deviations for the whole year of 2001.(15)
Though there are many other sources substantiating the notion, the GCP alone has effectively proven that: consciousness is a real something; that it can ‘see’ into the near future; collective consciousness focused in harmony can affect quantum events—suggesting that consciousness is itself more fundamental than any form of energy/matter in space-time, that it is ‘sub-quantum’ in a sense. As I show in TGI 1 & 2, consciousness appears to be synonymous with the spiralling torsion energy of time-space/the time domain, a nonlocal ‘implicate order’ that governs the formation of our space-time reality. It is this energy that appears to be responsible for nonlocal effects in quantum physics and virtually all mind-matter interactions documented in the annals of psi research.
If we are supplying energy to ideas, events and concepts merely by the act of observing or thinking about them, as the staring experiments and many others we don’t have space for here suggest, then does the question for us at this point in history become ‘What should we focus on then?’ Rather than potentially fuelling the obvious criminality and corruption of the world’s major manipulating political and financial institutions (World Bank, IMF, governments, etc.) with our angst and resentment, and rather than feeding undesirable future scenarios with worry about what horrors might yet be, maybe our responsibility in the moment right now is, as Ghandi said, to be the change we want to see in the world. Thus we answer our earlier question which asked what to direct our mental energies towards: whatever it is that we want to make manifest in the world! After all, the seed conditions for mass paradigm shifts have never been better…

The strange properties of superconducting materials called “cuprates” (bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide is shown in this microscopy image), which cannot be described by known quantum mechanical methods, may correspond to properties of black holes in higher dimensions.

‘Holographic Duality’ Hints at Hidden Subatomic World
- By Natalie Wolchover, Simons Science News
- 07.08.13
According to modern quantum theory, energy fields permeate the universe, and flurries of energy in these fields, called “particles” when they are pointlike and “waves” when they are diffuse, serve as the building blocks of matter and forces. But new findings suggest this wave-particle picture offers only a superficial view of nature’s constituents.
The holographic duality, discovered in 1997 by Juan Maldacena, says that events inside a region of space that involve gravity and are described by string theory are mathematically equivalent to events on the surface of that region that involve particles and are gravity-free. Illustration: Annenberg Lerner 2013
Original story reprinted with permission from Simons Science News, an editorially independent division of SimonsFoundation.org whose mission is to enhance public understanding of science by covering research developments and trends in mathematics and the physical and life sciences.
If each energy field pervading space is thought of as the surface of a pond, and waves and particles are the turbulence on that surface, then the new evidence strengthens the argument that a vibrant, hidden world lies beneath.
For decades, the surface-level description of the subatomic world has been sufficient to make accurate calculations about most physical phenomena. But recently, a strange class of matter that defies description by known quantum mechanical methods has drawn physicists into the depths below.
“I’ve grown up as a physicist just living on that flatland, that 2-D space,” said Subir Sachdev, a physics professor at Harvard University who studies these strange forms of matter. Now, there is a whole new dimension to explore, he said, and “you can think of the particles as just ending on that surface.”
Of all the strange forms of matter, cuprates — copper-containing metals that exhibit a property called high-temperature superconductivity — may be the strangest. In new research published online June 24 in the Journal of High Energy Physics, physicists at the University of California-Santa Barbara have explored the deeper phenomena that they claim are connected to the perplexing “surface-level” behavior of cuprates. By focusing their calculations on that underlying environment, the researchers derived a formula for the conductivity of cuprates that was previously known only from experiments.
“The amazing thing is you start with this theory and out you get the conductivity of these strange superconductors,” said Sachdev, who was not involved with the work.
The results bolster the evidence that this new way of looking at nature’s building blocks is real and that it is “strikingly literal,” said Jan Zaanen, a theoretical physicist at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
What’s more, the results could be seen as an unusual, indirect kind of evidence for string theory — a 40-year-old framework that weaves together quantum mechanics and gravity and is as mathematically elegant and profoundly explanatory as it is unproven.
With looming questions about the nature of dark matter, the mysterious substance thought to constitute 84 percent of the mass in the universe, and the search for a “theory of everything” that mathematically describes all of nature, researchers say the findings could have sweeping implications.
“There is a realistic chance that we will make enormous progress in fundamental physics in the next couple of years,” Zaanen said. “It’s moving very, very quickly.”
Below the Surface
If waves and particles are like the turbulence on the surface of a pond, the connection between that turbulence and events in the interior of the pond was first described by a mathematical principle discovered in 1997. In a landmark paper, Juan Maldacena, an Argentinian-American physicist then at Harvard University and now at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., showed that events taking place in a 3-D region of space mathematically correspond to very different events taking place on that region’s 2-D boundary. (Events in 4-D also correspond to events in 3-D, and 5-D to 4-D and so on.)
Consider the 3-D interior and 2-D surface of the metaphoric pond. For the correspondence to work, the interior must be mathematically described by string theory, in which electrons, photons, gravitons and the rest of nature’s building blocks are invisibly small, one-dimensional lines, or “strings.” Mass and other macroscopic properties correspond to the strings’ vibrations, and interactions between different kinds of matter and forces come from the way strings split and connect. These strings live inside the pond.
Now, imagine that the 2-D surface of the pond is described by quantum mechanics. Particles are the splashes on the surface, and waves are the cascade of ripples from those splashes. On the surface of this imaginary pond, there is no force of gravity.
The holographic duality, discovered in 1997 by Juan Maldacena, says that events inside a region of space that involve gravity and are described by string theory are mathematically equivalent to events on the surface of that region that involve particles and are gravity-free. Illustration: Annenberg Lerner 2013
Maldacena’s discovery, known as the holographic duality, showed that events in the interior region, which involve gravity and are described by string theory, are mathematically translatable to events on the surface, which are gravity-free and described by quantum particle theories.
“To understand this relationship, the crucial aspect is when the gravity theory is easy to analyze, then the particles on the boundary” — or, in the pond analogy, the surface — “are interacting very strongly with each other,” Maldacena said. The converse is also true: When the particles are calm on the surface, as they are in most forms of matter, then the situation in the pond’s interior is extremely complicated.
That contrast is what makes the duality useful.
The strange class of materials that includes cuprates belongs in the first category; experiments suggest that particles in these materials interact so strongly with one another that they lose their individuality. Physicists say the particles are “strongly correlated.” The wavy ripples corresponding to each overlap so much that a kind of swarm effect is believed to occur. Strongly correlated matter can behave in diverse and unexpected ways that are difficult or in some cases impossible to describe with known quantum mechanical methods, said Sean Hartnoll, a physics professor at Stanford University. “You need a different way of looking at them than starting from single particle descriptions,” he said. “You don’t try to explain the ocean in terms of individual water molecules.”
If strongly correlated matter is thought of as “living” on the 2-D surface of a pond, the holographic duality suggests that the extreme turbulence on that surface is mathematically equivalent to still waters in the interior. Physicists can get at the surface-level behavior by studying the parallel, but much simpler, situation below. “You can compute things in that tranquil world,” Zaanen said.
In the mathematical parlance of the holographic duality, certain strongly correlated matter in 2-D corresponds, in 3-D, to a black hole — an infinitely dense object with an inescapable gravitational pull, which is mathematically simple. “These very complicated quantum mechanical collective effects are beautifully captured by black hole physics,” said Hong Liu, an associate professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “For strongly correlated systems, if you put an electron into the system, it will immediately ‘disappear’ — you can no longer track it.” It’s like an object falling into a black hole.
A Superconductive Model
Increasingly over the past decade, studying the black hole equivalents of strongly correlated forms of matter has yielded groundbreaking results, such as a new equation for the viscosity of strongly interacting fluids and a better grasp of interactions between quarks and gluons, which are particles found in the nuclei of atoms.

Now, Gary Horowitz, a string theorist at UC-Santa Barbara, and Jorge Santos, a post-doctoral researcher in Horowitz’s group, have applied the holographic duality to cuprates. They derived a formula for the conductivity of the metals, which are approximately 2-D, by studying related properties of what may be their counterpart in 3-D: an electrically charged, peculiarly shaped black hole.
The work took numerical virtuosity. In cuprates, a swarm of strongly correlated electrons moves through a fixed lattice of atoms. Modeling the metals with the holographic duality therefore required working the equivalent of a lattice into the structure of the corresponding black hole by giving it a corrugated outer surface, or horizon.
“When it comes to playing ball with black holes, you need Gary [Horowitz],” Zaanen said.
To determine a formula for the conductivity of cuprates, Horowitz and Santos had to study how light would interact with the complicated horizon of their black hole. The equations were too thorny to solve exactly, so they found approximate solutions using a computer. In their first paper detailing this approach, co-authored by Cambridge University physics professor David Tong and published in July 2012 in the Journal of High Energy Physics, they derived a formula that matched the conductivity of cuprates at high temperatures in response to an alternating current. In the new work, they extended the calculation down to the temperature range in which cuprates become superconductive, or conduct electricity with no resistance, and again found a close match with experimental measurements of real cuprates.
“It amazes me that such a simple gravity model is able to reproduce any feature of a real material,” Horowitz said. “So this is encouraging us to think harder.”
The accuracy of Horowitz and Santos’ model breaks down in some significant cases, such as for alternating currents with extremely high frequencies, but Sachdev said that considering how simple the corrugated black hole model is, “it couldn’t have worked any better.” Incorporating more of the microscopic details of cuprates into the structure of the black hole will probably deepen their congruence, he said.
Hartnoll, who recently used the holographic duality to model metal-insulator transitions in strongly correlated materials, hopes to build on the results by solving Horowitz and Santos’ equations exactly. “They have an input and an output; we’d like to decompress it and understand the critical steps in between,” he said. Doing so would reveal where the conductivity formula originates in the black hole environment, providing more insights about the corresponding forces at play inside cuprates.
A New Duality
Understanding the physics of cuprates could have important practical applications. Most metals start to superconduct when their temperature drops close to absolute zero. But, for reasons not completely understood, cuprates exhibit superconductivity at much more accessible temperatures, making them useful for devices ranging from high-power electrical cables to ship propulsion motors. Cuprates are brittle and expensive, however, and engineering better versions by tweaking their properties could lead to dramatic improvements in a range of technologies, from magnetically levitating vehicles and other devices to more efficient power grids.
There is also the potential for advancing fundamental physics. If the holographic duality yields increasingly accurate predictions about the behavior of cuprates and other strongly correlated materials, these materials can be conceived as, essentially, being black holes in higher dimensions.
“If we had a model which reproduced all the features of a material, it could be viewed as a theory of it — a very unusual kind of theory, but given the duality, it’s equivalent to any theory you would produce on the boundary, with the usual particles,” Horowitz said. “And it might just be a lot simpler.”

The holographic duality echoes the wave-particle duality that led to the development of quantum mechanics. In the early 1900s, light, which was previously thought to be a wave, seemed perplexing in some experiments unless it was treated as particles, and electrons, thought to be particles, sometimes didn’t make sense unless they were conceived as waves. “The wave-particle duality was, when first proposed, a big surprise because these were two seemingly different concepts, and we learned that they are the same thing,” Horowitz said. The holographic duality “is more sophisticated, but it has that same feature,” he said. “You have two very different-seeming objects that turn out to be completely equivalent.”
But how does the holographic duality factor into our understanding of nature? Are the one-dimensional strings from the pond analogy real? Not necessarily, physicists say. In fact, the strings never factored into Horowitz and Santos’ calculations of the properties of the black hole they used as a model of cuprates. But the findings do give physicists a sense that “all these theories that we thought were different are actually all related,” Maldacena said. “It shows that string theory is not disconnected from the rest of physics.”
String theory may simply be the best mathematical language for grappling with certain aspects of reality, the physicists interviewed for this article said.
“Physics was traditionally reductionist; it wants to take something complicated and find out what the building blocks are,” Hartnoll explained. “The point is there’s not a unique way to do that: In some cases, electrons could be the building blocks, but in others, collective excitations of electrons are playing a more fundamental role than any of the individual electrons.
“We are trying to find the right building blocks to describe these strange phases of matter,” he said. “And they might be strings in one higher dimension.”
As physicists interpret what it means that particles in a strange, brittle metal mathematically correspond to strings and a peculiar black hole that exists — at least theoretically — in a higher dimension, the holographic duality enables them to “think differently about the mysteries in the laboratories,” Zaanen said. “And perhaps it’s not only about thinking differently; it’s about seeing the real, beautiful facts.”

If each energy field pervading space is thought of as the surface of a pond, and waves and particles are the turbulence on that surface, then the new evidence strengthens the argument that a vibrant, hidden world lies beneath.
For decades, the surface-level description of the subatomic world has been sufficient to make accurate calculations about most physical phenomena. But recently, a strange class of matter that defies description by known quantum mechanical methods has drawn physicists into the depths below.
“I’ve grown up as a physicist just living on that flatland, that 2-D space,” said Subir Sachdev, a physics professor at Harvard University who studies these strange forms of matter. Now, there is a whole new dimension to explore, he said, and “you can think of the particles as just ending on that surface.”
Of all the strange forms of matter, cuprates — copper-containing metals that exhibit a property called high-temperature superconductivity — may be the strangest. In new research published online June 24 in the Journal of High Energy Physics, physicists at the University of California-Santa Barbara have explored the deeper phenomena that they claim are connected to the perplexing “surface-level” behavior of cuprates. By focusing their calculations on that underlying environment, the researchers derived a formula for the conductivity of cuprates that was previously known only from experiments.
“The amazing thing is you start with this theory and out you get the conductivity of these strange superconductors,” said Sachdev, who was not involved with the work.
The results bolster the evidence that this new way of looking at nature’s building blocks is real and that it is “strikingly literal,” said Jan Zaanen, a theoretical physicist at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
What’s more, the results could be seen as an unusual, indirect kind of evidence for string theory — a 40-year-old framework that weaves together quantum mechanics and gravity and is as mathematically elegant and profoundly explanatory as it is unproven.
With looming questions about the nature of dark matter, the mysterious substance thought to constitute 84 percent of the mass in the universe, and the search for a “theory of everything” that mathematically describes all of nature, researchers say the findings could have sweeping implications.
“There is a realistic chance that we will make enormous progress in fundamental physics in the next couple of years,” Zaanen said. “It’s moving very, very quickly.”
Below the Surface
If waves and particles are like the turbulence on the surface of a pond, the connection between that turbulence and events in the interior of the pond was first described by a mathematical principle discovered in 1997. In a landmark paper, Juan Maldacena, an Argentinian-American physicist then at Harvard University and now at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., showed that events taking place in a 3-D region of space mathematically correspond to very different events taking place on that region’s 2-D boundary. (Events in 4-D also correspond to events in 3-D, and 5-D to 4-D and so on.)
Consider the 3-D interior and 2-D surface of the metaphoric pond. For the correspondence to work, the interior must be mathematically described by string theory, in which electrons, photons, gravitons and the rest of nature’s building blocks are invisibly small, one-dimensional lines, or “strings.” Mass and other macroscopic properties correspond to the strings’ vibrations, and interactions between different kinds of matter and forces come from the way strings split and connect. These strings live inside the pond.
Now, imagine that the 2-D surface of the pond is described by quantum mechanics. Particles are the splashes on the surface, and waves are the cascade of ripples from those splashes. On the surface of this imaginary pond, there is no force of gravity.
The holographic duality, discovered in 1997 by Juan Maldacena, says that events inside a region of space that involve gravity and are described by string theory are mathematically equivalent to events on the surface of that region that involve particles and are gravity-free. Illustration: Annenberg Lerner 2013
Maldacena’s discovery, known as the holographic duality, showed that events in the interior region, which involve gravity and are described by string theory, are mathematically translatable to events on the surface, which are gravity-free and described by quantum particle theories.
“To understand this relationship, the crucial aspect is when the gravity theory is easy to analyze, then the particles on the boundary” — or, in the pond analogy, the surface — “are interacting very strongly with each other,” Maldacena said. The converse is also true: When the particles are calm on the surface, as they are in most forms of matter, then the situation in the pond’s interior is extremely complicated.
That contrast is what makes the duality useful.
The strange class of materials that includes cuprates belongs in the first category; experiments suggest that particles in these materials interact so strongly with one another that they lose their individuality. Physicists say the particles are “strongly correlated.” The wavy ripples corresponding to each overlap so much that a kind of swarm effect is believed to occur. Strongly correlated matter can behave in diverse and unexpected ways that are difficult or in some cases impossible to describe with known quantum mechanical methods, said Sean Hartnoll, a physics professor at Stanford University. “You need a different way of looking at them than starting from single particle descriptions,” he said. “You don’t try to explain the ocean in terms of individual water molecules.”
If strongly correlated matter is thought of as “living” on the 2-D surface of a pond, the holographic duality suggests that the extreme turbulence on that surface is mathematically equivalent to still waters in the interior. Physicists can get at the surface-level behavior by studying the parallel, but much simpler, situation below. “You can compute things in that tranquil world,” Zaanen said.
In the mathematical parlance of the holographic duality, certain strongly correlated matter in 2-D corresponds, in 3-D, to a black hole — an infinitely dense object with an inescapable gravitational pull, which is mathematically simple. “These very complicated quantum mechanical collective effects are beautifully captured by black hole physics,” said Hong Liu, an associate professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “For strongly correlated systems, if you put an electron into the system, it will immediately ‘disappear’ — you can no longer track it.” It’s like an object falling into a black hole.
A Superconductive Model
Increasingly over the past decade, studying the black hole equivalents of strongly correlated forms of matter has yielded groundbreaking results, such as a new equation for the viscosity of strongly interacting fluids and a better grasp of interactions between quarks and gluons, which are particles found in the nuclei of atoms.

Now, Gary Horowitz, a string theorist at UC-Santa Barbara, and Jorge Santos, a post-doctoral researcher in Horowitz’s group, have applied the holographic duality to cuprates. They derived a formula for the conductivity of the metals, which are approximately 2-D, by studying related properties of what may be their counterpart in 3-D: an electrically charged, peculiarly shaped black hole.
The work took numerical virtuosity. In cuprates, a swarm of strongly correlated electrons moves through a fixed lattice of atoms. Modeling the metals with the holographic duality therefore required working the equivalent of a lattice into the structure of the corresponding black hole by giving it a corrugated outer surface, or horizon.
“When it comes to playing ball with black holes, you need Gary [Horowitz],” Zaanen said.
To determine a formula for the conductivity of cuprates, Horowitz and Santos had to study how light would interact with the complicated horizon of their black hole. The equations were too thorny to solve exactly, so they found approximate solutions using a computer. In their first paper detailing this approach, co-authored by Cambridge University physics professor David Tong and published in July 2012 in the Journal of High Energy Physics, they derived a formula that matched the conductivity of cuprates at high temperatures in response to an alternating current. In the new work, they extended the calculation down to the temperature range in which cuprates become superconductive, or conduct electricity with no resistance, and again found a close match with experimental measurements of real cuprates.
“It amazes me that such a simple gravity model is able to reproduce any feature of a real material,” Horowitz said. “So this is encouraging us to think harder.”

Quantum Model of Paranormal Phenomena
M. Pitkanen1, February 1, 2006
http://www.energetic-medicine.net/research/paraquantummodel.pdf
Abstract
The general quantum model for bio-systems leads to a general
model for electromagnetic bio-control which applies to a very wide variety
of hard-to-understand bio-chemical phenomena such as molecular
recognition mechanisms, water memory, and homeopathy and leads to
a generalization of genetic code explaining the mystery of introns. The
same model generalizes to a model of paranormal phenomena such as
psychokinesis, remote sensing, remote healing, telepathy, communications
with deceased, and instrumental transcommunications.
a) Magnetic mirrors (ME-magnetic flux tube pairs) connecting the
sender and receiver make possible a universal mechanism for the transfer
of intent and action. p-Adic MEs represent the transfer of a mere
intent and real MEs represent a transfer of action. p-Adic ME can be
transformed to real ME either by receiver or some higher level magnetic
self.
b) The transfer of intent gives rise to mechanism of remote interaction
which can act both endo- and exogenously. Magnetic mirrors characterized
by their fundamental frequencies make possible bridges between
sender and receiver (say healer and healee) and allow a resonant
interaction in which healer can initiate various control commands acting
as 4-dimensional templates represented as holograms. Also smaller
MEs can be send along the MEs serving as bridges (this is like throwing
balls with light velocity!). c) The ME-magnetic flux tube pair connecting
sender and receiver acts as a reference wave which can initiate an
arbitrarily complex hologram representing biological program. Sender
has the ability to generate and amplify the frequencies which induce
holograms representing the control commands. In particular, sender
can initiate complex biological programs without knowing anything
about their functioning.
d) Magnetic mirrors make possible also feedback and this feedback
could make possible learning. For instance, in psychokinesis (especially
so in micro PK), this learning would be crucial and analogous to that
what occurs when we learn to drive a car. In healing this kind of
feedback might help to find the healing frequency by trial and error.
e) It is quite possible that also multibrained and -bodied higher
level magnetic selves actively participate in the process. This makes
possible coherent amplification effects (TEM, prayer groups) and also
makes available information resources of all brains involved with the
group. This could for instance explain the ability of a remote viewer to
see an object on basis of data which need not have any meaning for her.
Fast amplitude modulation of alpha waves introducing higher harmonics
to the carrier wave is a good candidate for mediating communication
between brains and higher level multibrained selves. Mesoscopic ’features’
in brain involve precisely this kind of amplitude modulation and
might represent just this kind of messages. Interestingly, also speech
4
is produced by fast amplitude modulation of 10 Hz basic vibration
frequency of speech organs.

Bio-Systems as Conscious Holograms
M. Pitkanen1, February 1, 2006
http://www.scienceoflife.nl/MPitkanen-hologram.pdf
Abstract
The notion of conscious hologram is TGD based generalization of the idea about brain as
a hologram. In nutshell, the notion of conscious hologram follows from the topological eld
quantization. Classical elds and matter form a Feynmann diagram like structure consisting
of lines representing matter (say charged particles) and bosons (say photons). The mat-
ter lines are replaced by space-time sheets representing matter (elementary particles, atoms,
molecules,...), and virtual bosons are replaced by topological light rays ("mass-less extremals",
MEs). Also magnetic
ux tubes appear and together with MEs they serve as correlates for
bound state quantum entanglement.
The internal lines of the Feynmann diagram are analogous to wave guides and the classical
elds and coherent light propagating along these wave guides interfere at the space-time sheets
representing the vertices of the Feynmann diagram and the "points" of the conscious hologram.
The formation of the hologram corresponds to the self-organization induced by the leakage
of supra currents to smaller (say atomic) space-time sheets. This leakage is induced by the
high frequency MEs propagating along low frequency MEs serving as correlates for quantum
entanglement. The 3-D stereovision associated with ordinary hologram is generalized to stereo
consciousness resulting, when the mental images associated with dierent 'points' of conscious
hologram fuse to single mental image. Central nervous system can be regarded as a conscious
hologram of this kind.
Time mirror mechanism is a key element of intentional action. The notion of four-wave
interaction generalizes: the interference pattern of oppositely moving reference waves forming
an archetypal standing wave (possibly moving as in case of nerve pulse) can be replaced by any
synchronously oscillating periodic spatial pattern. Plasma waves for which the frequency does
not depend on wave vector are ideal candidates for holograms in the generalized sense. Living
matter is full of this kid of holograms: besides plasma oscillations associated with biologically
important ions, also Z0 plasma oscillations associated with atoms and molecules can dene
holograms. p-Adic length scale hypothesis predicts a hierarchy of plasma frequencies related
by powers 23k=4 so that even so called "non-living matter" could build this kind of sensory
representations based on plasma oscillations.
p-Adic length scale hypothesis and dark matter hierarchy allow to quantify the notion
of conscious hologram. The hierarchy of generalized EEGs associated with the dark matter
hierarchy allows to propose concrete mechanism of remote mental interactions playing a key
role also in the interaction of magnetic bodies with the biological body. Experimental ndings
related to anomalous pre-cognition support the view that even galactic magnetosphere acts as
a conscious entity receiving sensory input from bio-sphere and controlling it.
Bio-photons provide an application of the general theory. Simple mathematical facts about
the delayed luminescence induced by an external perturbation combined with the model for a
hierarchy of dark EEGs assignable to that of Josephson junctions, lead to a model in which
positive and negative energy MEs transversal to DNA strand and representing dark photons
generate coherent bio-photons via de-coherence. Rather detailed quantitative models for how
MEs and supra current circuits interact and how bio-photons are generated during the gene
expression emerge.
Peter Gariaev and his group have discovered a radio wave emission from DNA induced by
laser light. The model explaining delayed luminescence covers also this phenomenon: now the
decay of dark photons with energies above thermal threshold to radio-wave photons rather
than de-coherence would be the mechanism. The ndings allow an explanation in terms of a
many-sheeted laser action, and a rather detailed view about how bio{system acts as a many-
sheeted laser at a wide wave-length range emerges.
William Tiller in Stanford University has carried out impressive experimental work with
what he calls intention imprinted electronic devices (IIED), and his results challenge that
standard assumption that the intentions of experimenter do not aect the experimental ap-
paratus. The analysis of the work of Tiller in the conceptual framework of TGD leads to the
conclusion that four-wave interaction, which is a basic mechanism to produce phase conjugate
waves (negative energy topological light rays), serves also as a basic mechanism of intentional
action. This leads to a unied view allowing to see EEG and nerve pulse as a particular
realization of four-wave interaction.
