That means Opportunity is physically energetic. Review the QM math. Opportunity explains the quantum anomalies. Physics is not a close system because consciousness observes, chooses, and that choice makes a physical and energetic difference on becoming.
In short, artropy (new word) overcomes entropy, in the local reformation. Life is right-handed. It has its skew pre-materially. That skew is more for less. This wins all the time.
This is what the ancient thinkers meant by metaphysics. Meta is above, before, and around the physical.
Physics is not a closed system, unless defined as such, by Axiomatic Set Theory.
Here is another way to describe Opportunity.
Voegelin's
understanding of philosophy, which embraces his understanding of Christianity,
flows from this sense of conscious human existence located in an unfathomable
region that can only be described, somewhat apophatically, as neither this nor
that, because as soon as one attempts to gain certainty by declaring precisely
what it is in terms of our worldly concepts, we lose it. To refer to it as flux
really means that it defies any attempt to confine it within humanly generated
categories. For this enigmatic region of experience he adopted the Platonic
symbol of the metaxy,
the "In-Between," the region of reality where human consciousness searches for,
is drawn by, and encounters the awesomely mysterious transcendent flux of divine
presence. In his essay "Eternal Being in Time" he says that "in the
philosophical experience, neither does eternal being become an object in time
nor is temporal being transposed into eternity. We remain in the 'in between',
in a temporal flow of experience in which eternity is present. This flow cannot
be dissected into past, present, and future of the world's
time, for at every point of the flow there is the tension
toward the transcending eternal being. This characteristic of the
presence of eternal being in temporal flow may be best represented by the
term flowing
presence."19 "Transcendence" and "immanence" denote not
places but directions in the structure of reality encountered in the experience.
Plato first used this symbol of the In-Between in The
Symposium when Socrates asks
Diotima whether Eros, the psychic force that drives the soul to seek the divine,
is a mortal or an immortal, and she replies, using the preposition metaxy,
that Eros is neither but instead is in tension "between" them, partaking of both
but not fully identifiable with either. This is the ground of the experiences of
transcendence that cannot be described or defined but only symbolized. Major
problems arise, Voegelin believed, if the loss or obscuring of the original
experience causes the symbol to harden into a literal truth or dogma that has
the effect of eliminating the tension by creating the illusion of a certain
grasp of Truth. I use the word "hardens" deliberately, because Voegelin thinks
of metaxic experiences as steeped in the tension of the fluidity and
unpredictability of divine presence. 20
All human beings, by
virtue of having human consciousness, exist in the metaxy, although to varying
degrees and with different levels of tolerance for the tension and uncertainty
in the experience of flow, change, appeal and response, movements and
countermovements, and questioning that cannot be translated into propositions,
all of which can be only inadequately articulated as symbols
that are really meant to point others to their own metaxic experiences. The
greater the awareness of the "structure" of this process the greater the degree
of what Voegelin calls the "differentiation of consciousness." When the emphasis
of the symbolization falls on the human quest for the divine and the anxiety of
losing the right direction he uses the term "noetic." When the emphasis is on
the other pole of this tension, the divine presence and the "pull" that draws
the soul beyond itself, the term is "pneumatic."21 For Voegelin either term points to the same
uncontrollable and unpredictable flux that cannot be captured or communicated in
the concepts developed to describe the "things" in the world of our sense
experience. He follows Plato and Aristotle in using the term "psyche" for the
sensorium of divine reality, the site of "divine- human mutual participation, as
the metaleptic [participatory] reality," and the "site in which the
comprehensive reality becomes luminous to itself."22
Past-Present-Future crossed with meaning
hierarchy (Dikw) = 4-way thinking = Conscious advancement via OSHM symbolic
alignment.
Past Dikw>> (conscious present) <<
Future Dikw .. this might be all we need to teach.
