This is a citizen science project I have been working on for over three decades. There is currently no university, business, or government, supporting my activity, it is just simply my searching for a different way to understand our universe.
I have always been interested in what makes the world go round, and over time I have come to these ten conclusions.
- All things are connected-nothing exists in total isolation.
- Connections can be internal (within) or external (between).
- Any one thing can belong to many other things-there is no upper limit to relationships.
- Every single thing is connected and can be measured, mapped, and traced.
- All things are systems-composed of other systems and sub-systems.
- All things can be described, classified, and stored in a universal library of knowledge.
- There is no such thing as true randomness-only events outside our current perception or understanding, our universe is built on cause and effect.
- Complexity arises from simple elements linked together in intricate ways.
- Nothing is a perfect copy, and nothing is truly alone-everything shares patterns and overlaps with other things.
- Anything can be a thing-whether it’s a thought, object, event, concept, belief, memory, gap, or imagined form.
So I took these ten conclusions and built an artificial universe based on how we see our universe. Where I designed an interactive visual tool to explore the things, problems, and other interesting ideas, to help us understand how things fit together better and how we can make better decisions.
So I built designed, coded, experimented, and built this artificial universe using knowledge constructs rather than physical measurements, as a simulation of reality.
