The Relationship Between Quantum States and Paradigms

Quantum states are (if I remember correctly and maybe I don't) are those energy levels or radius of orbit that electrons tend to travel around the nucleus. It may be that the concept of truth is related to these states. In which case things like the Heisenberg Principle, etc. might apply to well, truth, and things that come from truth - like definitions and thought, etc.

In perhaps a related area, Nodism seems to allow for everything to be under every node. I have been working on this lately and may have come up with something a little different than that but regardless, in the searching to see if this is true or what it actually means, we come to the concept of how to organize or order "everything" beneath a node.

So as children, which comes first - is it the most relevant. What does relevance mean? Is it based on reciprocal links - well if all nodes contain everything (again I am now suspecting that this is not the case) then reciprocal links would be equal. Or do the strengths of the reciprical links affect the relevance. Certainly that would make sense but is there a paradox here.

So I have been experimenting with branches containing shades of red, etc. How true is it that this apple is dark red. How much light red is there, etc. There are many things that are subjective but even these might average to a "truth" almost like the electron motion averages to an energy state. Objective values should be easier but we always hear people say that there is no truth. Nothing is set in stone, etc.

Along these lines comes the paradigm and paradigm shifts. This is one of the most interesting concepts that Nodism helps explore. Para means next to so it would imply a sibling. A shift from one embodiment to a next.

One thing that is neat to think about is figuring out where in the single hierarchy of nodism, a paradigm appears. Is it on the edges out along the siblings (in the land of presumed lesser relevance) or does it insert itself between existing parent and children right before our eyes. I expect it could be either.

The "right before our eyes" type of paradigm or invention might arise from prior art pointing in a different direction. Nobody has a rollthrough ad that takes you to a site when you roll over it. The public would not stand for it and thus we have the current paradigm if you will of clicking on an ad. This is an energy state and it appears to be true or at least has been for the last 15 years. But if someone says, hey... I am going to make a rollthrough ad and it will be for a vacuum cleaner that sucks so hard it takes viewers through the ad without clicking or a black hole, or a blind date, or a magnetic personality or a... then suddenly we could have a paradigm shift and roll through ads become "normal" or the current energy state.

This last paragraph harkens to acceptance being part of the paradigm. Not quite sure how important that is. Certainly with respect to marketing, and things like memes that is very important. But we will leave it for another time.

Inventor Dan Zen, reporting what has been on his mind lately... and the post is unedited - sorry if it is difficult.

Nodism Forum Created

After a few happy hello's from new Nodists, it is hoped that a forum might be in order to converse beyond comments. So, a forum has been created at:

http://www.nodism.org/nodismBB2

I feel like I should offer a prize. Okay... Nodists will one day be listed in a branch directly off of Node Zero and we have to order these for presentation. So... the Nodists will be ordered in the order they join the forum. Better get in early ;-)

Love Dan

Nodism Wiki Help - Making a Page

A Wiki lets you add (or edit) pages and links to those pages very easily. Here are the steps to make your first page on the Nodism Wiki:

1. To sign up to be able to participate in the Wiki go to the Recent Visitors page
2. Click the edit button at the bottom of the page
   
3. Type your first and last name on the page beneath the other names using the camel format - CapitalLetters at the start of the words and bump the words together with no spaces.
4. You can write a little hello note and then save the page.
5. When you do, you will see that there is a ? after your name. Click this to create a page for yourself and write a little about yourself.
6. Then you can sign in at the bottom using your CamelCase name and set your preferences using the preferences link at the top.

Now, perhaps you did not realize it but you made your first page. Making more pages is basically the same:

1. Edit any page and when editing the page make up a link title in CamelCase with no spaces
2. Once you save the page you will see the link with a ? after it
3. Click the ? and you will be given a form to create the page
4. As you create the page, you can put in more links using the CamelCase
5. If the page already exists, the link will go to it otherwise a ? will be put next to it
6. Any links with ? is ready for someone - someone like you to create the page!

Here is a link to more information on how to use a Wiki.

Wikis are amazing to use - over the course of a couple weeks holiday I made a couple hundred pages with great ease. I welcome you to write in the Wiki - start with your own thoughts on Nodism - almost like a review and see how it goes. Hopefully you will gain enough courage and confidence to make changes and additions! Please do.

Nodism - the Philosophy of Meta

Nodism is a philosophy that lets us explore aspects of meta with hierarchical thinking or generational thought.

For years now, very logical people have built up systems to emulate life. These systems have converged to Object Oriented Programming (OOP). We are at the height of the information age - and the standard of sharing of information has become XML.

Both Object Oriented Programming and XML are based on hierarchy. Indeed so is grouping, categorizing, organizing, indenting, nesting, etc. Nodism lets us explore and hopefully go beyond earlier hierarchical philosophies from food chains to set theory.

This blog and associated sites approach the philosophy in a relatively grass roots, first principle, and welcoming manner.
