Justin Riddle #18 - Fractal Computation


Listen Later

In episode 18 of the Quantum Consciousness series, Justin Riddle discusses the potential for a third form of computation beyond digital and quantum computation: fractal computation. In the metaphysical model presented in this series, the body is a digital computer, the mind is a quantum computer, and (now) the spirit is a fractal computer. First off, the concept of a fractal is introduced using examples of recursion, or self-reference, in computer science. Next, evidence for fractal resonance between scales of biology is presented along with some pioneer work that attempts to reconstruct fractal-like resonance within an artificial system. The fractal computer description provides the backdrop by which all quantum systems are embedded – each system interacts with scales that are larger and smaller than it. At the grandest level, each quantum computer is resonating with a web of entanglements at the scale of the whole universe. This framing is similar to David Bohm’s concept of the “implicate order” or “pilot-wave” as well as a Henry Stapp’s description of the wave function of the whole universe. Finally, the episode wraps up discussing some curious scientific findings by Rick Strassman that people tripping on DMT often report communicating with higher dimensional entities. While seemingly absurd, a radical empiricist must explain the origin of such experiences. Could it be that we are indeed plugged into a fractal computer, which could explain some our sense of spiritual connection to a higher purpose? We definitely have some fun philosophical musing in this episode. Enjoy!
