Existence = state of constant interactivity. Dynamic.
We can conceptualize energy in SuperString Theory contexts, suing music as out metaphor.
Energy is a vibration/oscillation with a particular sequence, tone, speed…
What is vibrating is not a string but space.
Space = possibility, in Heideggerian contexts, therefore matter/energy - i.e., energies with a patterned sequence - are probabilities.
The sequence is of possible/probable interactivity, across dimensions. Dimensions are fragmenting, and we call this expansion of space/time.
Chaos = random energies, or vibrations/oscillations with no patterned sequence. chaos is by definition always repulsive, ergo expansion is accelerating, because chaos is increasing - tending towards absolute randomness, from near-absolute order (Big Band) - Yin/Yang - this is what we experience as the arrow of time, i.e., towards increasing chaos. Ergo we worship order, ro the absent absolute that never finalized.
We see here the love/hate relationship of man with existence, because without chaos life would be impossible - if order were absolute - singularity - then there would be no Big Bang expansion.
Interactivity = how two different energies relate/interact.
Interaction can be divided into two parts: attraction/repulsion.
Attraction/Repulsion is simultaneous and ongoing when two different patterns (inter)act, or when a pattern (inter)acts with a non-patterned energy.
If harmony exceeds disharmony we have a net sum of attraction – movement towards.
If disharmony exceeds harmony we have a net sum of friction, resulting in repulsion – movement away.
Away and towards describe increased possibility/decreased possibility.
No ‘self’ need be presented as the evaluating component, because it is not required to explain how energies can form complex unities. Self is a specific phenomena, applicable only to life - patterns that have established a balance and which become conscious, willful.
Self = continuum of data, memories, in the forms of organic algorithms - DNA - or experiences (knowledge = second hand experience; experiences=first hand). Self is held together by memory creating an unbroken continuum.
Ego is but a small part of self, The part awakening to itself - lucid self: self-conscious. This is where nihilism takes root as a psychological defensive reaction to emerging self-consciousness.
The disharmony between two energies can be stabilized by the presence of a mediating third or fourth, compensating for the excess of repulsion, so as to produce a stable unity, such as a particle.
