My Big TOE: Possibilities for new states of being

Ways of conceptualizing AUO
1. Primordial consciousness
2. An energy form that has the potential to evolve awareness
3. An (apparently) infinite potential to (use energy to) self-organize, i.e. potential to reduce average entropy through evolution.


How does AUO create new possibilities for states of being?
1. It first creates duality within itself by altering uniformity to create a local disturbance or distortion. The first "this" vs. "not this." A tiny ripple turns into waves, etc.
2. This duality means there exists "uniform" vs. "locally non-uniform" (a localized modification of the uniform state). This means AUO can create the disturbance, return to uniformity, intentionally reestablish the locally disturbed state, and return back to uniform, etc.
3. Once the duality is created, it can be evaluated for profitability, and then potential methods for achieving the new state can be discovered (e.g. single cells discover multi-celled configurations are more profitable. Later, it will find cell-specialization provides more efficient multi-celled organisms).
4. Continuing evolution requires more complexity in the methods of expression of differentiation of parts relative to each other. A simpler mode of state changing is unipolar sinusoidal waves (uniform/positive-disturbance/uniform, or uniform/hot/uniform) or bipolar sinusoidal waves (uniform/positive-disturbance/uniform/negative-disturbance, or uniform/hot/uniform/cold).
5. We've established that the Fundamental Process dictates that awareness, however dim, always creates ever more possibilities for itself to explore. Likewise, complexity, however simple, always generates greater possibilities for the evolving entity to explore. Two disturbances become three, four, hundreds, billions.



We now have relative disturbances, we have uniform and non-uniform states, but we do not yet have structure, order, or specialization of function. Each new state represents new possibilities and opportunities for growth.
