Semiophysics and Synchronicity
Hello everyone to another random blog post. Today I wish to expand on some of the ideas I mentioned in my last post 'Stressed Out' from a different perspective which I have been evolving. Of course all of this is just speculative and just my perspective so there is no authority from the position of which I am speaking. However, these are just observations which I have deliberated upon and which seem pretty plausible and interesting explanations to me. I had started reading Semiophysics by Rene Thom (which funnily I came upon by learning about catastrophe theory). It was very fun as the book has extremely dense but insightful concepts from varying disciplines. One of the main ideas mentioned in the book was related to salient forms which are basically discontinuities in the field of perception that allow them to be noticed (which he related to a different way of defining real numbers as discontinuities on a line). These could be anything such as colours, smells, sensations etc
