Gistmass Ubiquity Theory

A comparative analysis of paradigms, from ancient through modern sources, reveals a unified, ubiquitous pattern underlying reality. At the core of existence, one elemental set of building blocks appears pervasive, and research indicates that many generations have interpreted and transcribed this primordial structure into transformative, progressive, cultural contexts.

A paradigm, in its own terms, explains or describes aspects of common experience from a unique perspective - like trying to reconstruct a statue from a collection of blurry snapshots. How many photographs, or video segments, are adequate to fully capture a family vacation, a day in the news, the year in review, a lifetime of memories, or a person’s character? Absolute truth may ultimately prove elusive. Increasing detail amounts to overload at the expense of general comprehension. Paradigms help us recognize the universal in the wild.

A collection of pictures taken from various viewpoints increases the recorded detail of a statue, like the opinion of a jury. By comparing and combining multiple paradigms, a universal pattern emerges through reinforced similarities, lending fresh insights into the big picture, into ourselves, and into the fabric of existence. These sources arise from diverse fields of study, and cover disciplines in human nature and in the nature of reality.

As children we learn language. We notice patterns. Regularities get reinforced. As we master patterns of speech, our communication skills grow and our understanding improves. Common ground gets established, and we learn to express our needs with greater eloquence and efficiency.

Paradigms facilitate our ability to communicate novel concepts and develop mutual understanding. Gistmass Ubiquity Theory supplies the framework that not only governs the universe but ourselves as well.

Subtraction and division are not commutative, i.e. the order of the operands cannot be interchanged; but addition and multiplication are commutative, i.e. the operands are interchangeable. Sum and Product are group operations.

a – b ≠ b – a, unless a = b

a ÷ b ≠ b ÷ a, unless a = b

a + b = b + a

a × b = b × a

A numerical anomaly exists in the realm of numbers. Square any real number and the result is always positive. For example:

2² = 2 × 2 = 4 and
(–2)² = –2 × –2 = 4.

Square roots operate in a complimentary fashion. Reversing the above example, the square root of 4 is either 2 or –2. But what is the square root of a negative number? It can be represented as the square root of a positive number, straight forward for positive real numbers, times the square root of negative one. But the square root of negative one violates the standard convention for real numbers. The square root of negative one is the numerical anomaly. The symbol for the square root of negative one is i, for imaginary, i.e. √–1 = i and i² = –1.

Given x² + 1 = 0, then x = √–1 = i or –i.
Given x² + 4 = 0, then x = √–4 = 2i or –2i.

Rational numbers can be expressed as an integer or a fraction.

Irrational numbers have no explicit integer or fraction representation. Any decimal equivalent requires an infinite number of digits. Symbolic representations are needed to express irrational numbers. Examples are: π and √2

A foresight perspective realizes that only now exists. The future is what we make it, while acting in the present.
