Freeing Leonardo da Vinci’s Fight for the Standard in the Hall of the Five Hundred at Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio

Autistics and the plane of complex numbers suggest that if the accelerating expansion of our universe and the anti-universe succeeded a coasting expansion 8.8 billion years after the Big Bang, an accelerating contraction will start in 3.8 billion years. Mirroring the expansion phase, a coasting contraction of the two universes in cosmic space will come up in 12.6 billion years. The end of the fourth section of 8.8 billion years will host two Big Crunches, two White Holes, and a new Big Bounce. The reason for that paradox solves the “cosmological constant problem” and joins general relativity to particle physics. The z-plane and autism can also help us cross science with the arts and religion; retain the search for truth, beauty, and goodness by our descendants; and reach the message of progress buried in the Ark of the Covenant, the Great Pyramid, and Giza’s Sphinx: A selfish brain hides a selfless heart.

Joining General Relativity to Particles Physics through Complex Numbers and Autism

“…within the second attention, our curious facet (which autistics cannot fathom) places between parentheses a known belief and goes to the edge of madness in order to seize the darkness of imaginary numbers, discourse pragmatics, and personal pronouns; finally, My latest research (Cassella, 2017g) found that the Third Attention sustains our vein of humanistic creativity and our smiles at puns lodged in the crossing of opposite beliefs. In my view (Cassella, 2016), our Stone-Age ancestors knew that the Third Attention redirects the power of our second attention to place between parentheses the repetitive truths guarded by our autistic first attention.…”

A Psychological View of Complex Numbers through Classical and Quantum Computing

2017

Self Cite

This article explores a psychological view of zero and complex numbers under the embrace of classical with quantum computing. At first, the author broaches classical computing, after-the-fact learning, and the perfect finiteness of the first attention spared in high-functioning autistics. Secondly, he deals with quantum computing, before-the-fact learning, and the less-than-perfect infinity of the second attention impaired in the autistic spectrum before the age of three years. The author emphasizes that quantum computing in the second step agrees with quantum coherence, the angle Greek Pi () in radians, Euler's Identity (e i + 1 = 0), and the exploration of schizophrenic interpretations with a probability of existence equivalent to algebraic zero. Thirdly, this article shows that the alliance of classical with quantum computing, or of the first with the second attention, allows the atoned self to reach transcendental zero, quantum decoherence, and a renovated home in the arms of the Third Attention. In turn, the renewal brought by the Third Attention can be linked to the angle twice Greek Pi (, or Tau), the "Tau" Identity (e i -1 = 0), the union of real with imaginary numbers in complex numbers, and the proposition by Pythagoras that "all is number."

“…I added later (Cassella, 2002) an expression of the cognitive principles behind the 1 st attention spared in autism and the principles of the 2 nd attention damaged in the autistic brain. Within the logos heuristics (Cassella, 2002(Cassella, , 2008(Cassella, , 2011(Cassella, , 2014(Cassella, , 2017a(Cassella, , 2017b(Cassella, , 2018a(Cassella, , 2018b(Cassella, , 2018c(Cassella, , 2018d, I posited that the 1 st attention in the autistic spacetime of the crystal Thummim follows the principles that a) no object can exist in two or more places simultaneously (Locality); and that two or more objects cannot share the same space at the same time (Impenetrability).…”

The Meaning of the Ark of the Covenant through the Logos Heuristics

2019

By placing the Ark of the Covenant in the first Jewish Temple in the 10th century before the Common Era (BCE), King Solomon relieved Levite priests from carrying the Ark. Three centuries later, King Josiah of Judah asked the Levites to return that container to the Temple, implying that it was no longer there. The gold-plated Ark enclosed more than an unvarying law in the Decalogue and in the ‘obedience-classical-computing’ of the crystal Thummim sewed into the Ephod worn by Aaron, the first high priest. Aaron’s vest also contained the crystal Urim, or flexible variations between obedience and disobedience, in the quantum computing epitomized by the ‘tree-of-the-knowledge-of-good-and-evil’ (Genesis 2). Together, the Thummim and Urim crystals embody the Wisdom ascribed to nature’s Nature and to the Tree-of-Life. Solomon shared this Wisdom with the visiting Queen of Sheba. Although the Ark may have never followed Sheba’s return into Ethiopia, her mariners could have shared Solomon’s Wisdom with Greek, Hindu, Chinese, and Olmec sages. This hypothesis addresses the simultaneous rise in the 6th century BCE of the Logos posited by Heraclitus in Greek-Ionia; of Dharma in Hinduism, of the Buddhist-Sanskrit name “Tathāgatha”; of Social Intelligence in the meeting of Laozi with Kong-Fuzi in China; and, among the Mesoamerican Olmecs, of the legend about the bird-serpent that the Aztecs called later “Quetzal-coatl.” The power of the returning Quetzalcoatl to save humans and nonhuman species from obliteration matches the will of readers eager to catch the esoteric meaning of the vanished Ark.
