Our Necessary Field Of Vision

Since the entire universe that we see all emerged from the same Big Bang, the information necessary to reconstruct all of the universe must somehow exist within anything in the universe. This has to be the way it is even if we do not see it.

There must exist a mathematical formula that explains everything in the universe and where it is located. The formula would be centered around the laws of physics.

Suppose that you are waiting in a car on a rainy day. Even if you do not discern it, there must be a mathematical formula that describes the pattern of the raindrops on the car's window. Most physicists agree that everything is really numbers being manifested. So there has to be formulas out there that describes anything and everything, there is no other way.

The strength of gravity, the rate of fusion in stars that form heavier elements from the primordial hydrogen and helium, and the electric charge that holds molecules of water together are all factors that go into determining the pattern of the raindrops falling on the window. 

On a different rainy day the pattern of falling raindrops would be similar, but not exactly the same. There would be both constants and variables in the formulas. The two formulas would have mostly constants in common, but there would be variables that would differ so that the two sets of raindrops are not exactly the same.

Besides the raindrops there must also be a formula that describes the pattern of stars in the sky that are visible from any given location in the universe. The stars are in this pattern for reasons that are soundly based on the laws of physics.

We cannot discern these formulas that would describe the positions of all of the stars in the sky and the pattern of the raindrops on the window. But that is because of our limitations, not that the formulas do not exist. They must exist.

To be able to express these formulas, we would have to understand more than we do now. We use words and numbers to express information. We can only express in numbers what we have complete understanding of, such as the calendar. Words are for what we do not completely understand. It is not necessary to completely understand anything to describe it in words, because we can describe it by it's effect on us.

My theory is that, as time goes on and we learn more and more, we will be able to express an increasing proportion of what we know in numbers, instead of words. If we were to scan all documents on the internet we should find that, on the whole, a greater portion of the information expressed in those documents would be in numbers, as opposed to words, compared with the past.

As far as our knowledge goes, we are progressing at finding out what we know that we don't know. At the same time, the sphere of what we didn't know that we don't know is also growing but overall what we know relative to what we don't know should be increasing. Some of what we are learning is entirely new and some is gaining more understanding of what was already partially understood.

There should be a theoretical day in our future where we will know all that we can potentially know. I refer to this day as "K-Day". The sphere of what we know would cover the entire sphere of what we don't know. This doesn't mean that we would necessarily know everything, there would still be the sphere of what we don't know that we don't know, but there would be nothing left that we know that we don't know.

Since we express with numbers what we completely understand, words are for what we partially understand, by that day we should be expressing all information as numbers. The formula by which the entire universe operates must also be numbers, because everything is really numbers, and at that time we would be able to express it as numbers, at least to the extent that our minds were able to understand it.

As we learn more we are able to discern the same amount of knowledge about the universe with less. I refer to this as "Our Necessary Field Of Vision". We have already discerned the laws of physics by which all in the universe operates. Our Necessary Field Of Vision contracts as time goes on and we know more, this simply means that we can learn more with less observation.

The information of everything in the universe, as least as far as we are capable of understanding it, is actually in everything around us, if only we knew enough to see it. Since all of the universe began with the same Big Bang, the information in everything must be contained in anything.

In a pattern of stars in the sky or the pattern of raindrops falling on a windshield lies all of the information that we are capable of understanding about the universe. We cannot see it, not because it isn't there but because Our Necessary Field Of Vision has not yet contracted enough for us to see it. We, at this point, need to see more of the universe for us to learn more about it.

Like the proportion of our information that we, as a whole, express as numbers, as opposed to words, because we completely understand it, Our Necessary Field Of Vision is a measure of where we currently stand in terms of knowledge, what we know now in comparison to what we could possibly know. The proportion of information expressed as numbers is much lower than the proportion that we already know, because words do represent a partial understanding of what we know.
