Book 1: Awakening
Section 1 provides a partial biography of the author that is pertinent to
the subsequent creation of this trilogy. This brief look at the author's unique
experience and credentials sheds some light upon the origins of this extraordinary
work. The unusual associations, circumstances, training and initial
research that eventually led to the creation of the My Big TOE trilogy are
described to provide a more accurate perspective of the whole.
Section 2 lays out, logically justifies, and defines the basic conceptual
building blocks needed to construct My Big TOE's conceptual foundation.
It discusses the cultural beliefs that trap our thinking into a narrow and
limited conceptualization of reality, defines the fundamentals of Big Picture
epistemology and ontology, as well as examines the inner-workings and
practice of meditation. Most importantly, Section 2 defines and develops
the two basic assumptions upon which this trilogy is based. From these two
assumptions, time, space, consciousness, and the basic properties, purpose,
and mechanics of our reality are logically inferred.
Book 2: Discovery
Section 3 develops the interface and interaction between "we the people"
and our digital consciousness reality. It derives and explains the characteristics,
origins, dynamics, and function of ego, love, free will, and our
larger purpose. Finally, Section 3 develops the psi uncertainty principle
as it explains and interrelates psi phenomena, free will, love, consciousness
evolution, physics, reality, human purpose, digital computation, and
entropy.
Section 4 describes an operational and functional model of consciousness
that further develops the results of Section 3 and supports the conclusions of
Section 5. The origins and nature of digital consciousness are described along
with how artificial intelligence (AI), as embodied in AI Guy, leads to artificial
consciousness, which leads to actual consciousness and to us. Section 4 derives
our physical universe, our science, and our perception of a physical reality.
The mind-matter dichotomy is solved as physical reality is directly derived from
the nature of digital consciousness.
Book 3: Inner Workings
Section 5 pulls together Sections 2, 3, and 4 into a more formal model of
reality that describes how an apparent nonphysical reality works, interacts,
and interrelates with our experience of physical reality. Probable realities,
predicting and modifying the future, teleportation, telepathy, multiple physical
and nonphysical bodies, and the fractal nature of an evolving digital
consciousness reality are explained and described in detail.
Section 6 is the wrap-up that puts everything discussed in Sections 2, 3,
4, and 5 into an easily understood personal perspective. Additionally, Section
6 points out My Big TOE's relationship with contemporary science and philosophy.
By demonstrating a close conceptual relationship between this TOE
and some of the establishment's biggest intellectual guns, Section 6 solidly
integrates My Big TOE into traditional Western scientific and philosophical
thought.
