Thursday Thoughts: Nature of the Universe

Preliminary thoughts which should one day turn into a chapter, after a lot of expansion and qualification:

Neither gravity or causality are officially considered forces by the science of the day, as far as I know, though gravity formerly was. But I would link them up with space and time as being the inescapable constraints which rule existence in this universe. We all experience space as we move around, and the passage of time. We all feel gravity's hold on us any time we care to. And as far as I know, because no one has ever made much of an effort to convince me otherwise, we all experience causality the way I do: Every observable thing or event I have ever regarded, is both an effect of multiple causes and the cause of multiple effects. I have seen no evidence in my 53 years that anything can exist or happen outside of the paradigm of causality. And a closer examination of causality in a later chapter will reveal it to be omnipotent and a web of connectedness which unites all things ever, and makes all things inevitable in essence.

We have the word random which teenagers have co-opted to replace the word arbitrary, but for those of us who remember its origin, a generation of something unpredictable, seeming without cause, we should realize that all randomness exists only within the limits of perspective, but that in reality all apparent randomization is generated through causality, but a system of causality beyond the control of the witness and without trackability. Lottery ball activity aligns strictly with forces of physics but the permutations are just too complex for anyone to conceivably control. Hence the appearance of randomness. So this concept is no threat to the reign of causality.

As for the meat of the universe; the stuff these constraints play upon, we are familiar with matter. We see and feel material everywhere, but also the evidence of energies.

Well time is literally up for today. I have commitments on my agenda. Perhaps it would be pointless to publish this. It doesn't amount to much relevance yet
