The Geometry of Ideas

The Geometry of Ideas

(1) If we assume that the Big Bang created a Universe composed solely of energy, then everything that exists in the Universe is an expression of energy.
(2) Ideas exist – they are disseminated, graded (compared, contrasted), grouped, and translated. Ideas are the currency of communication among people; essentially, verbal and non-verbal communication are ideas talking to ideas. An important aspect of ideas is their adaptability to physical objects: ideas provide connections to written symbols/words, played music, forks and spoons, paintings, mountains, and monuments.
(3) Given that ideas exist (2), they must be composed of energy (1). That raises at least two related questions: how do ideas associate with each other, and how are ideas associated with physical objects?
(4) Albert Einstein’s equation E=MCC defines a relationship among energy, mass (a quantity of matter), and the squared speed of light. Basic math tells us that E=MCC is equivalent to M=E/CC, CC=E/M, and the most telling, E/E=MCC/E, which unifies all parts as 1=MCC/E.
(5) The relationships among energy, mass, and the squared speed of light plainly state that any one of these three “elements” can be viewed in terms of the other two elements. (4)
(6) Given (3,4,5), ideas can be viewed as having mass. This implies that ideas, like all quantities of matter, can be seen as occuping space.

Metaphysical Island and Attack on Cellius - 2045 explore the premise that ideas have mass — blending dimensional thinking, noir storytelling, and a philosophical architecture inside a realm known as The MentalReal.
