Abstract

The Theory of Potential Manifestation (TPM) depicts the universe as emerging from a source we can call the Absolute, which manifested our reality through the Big Bang. By definition the Absolute is unrelated to our relative universe and is nonconceptual. With tools from physics, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy, we present all aspects of existence as arising from the Absolute, and we show detection’s role in shaping it, including how the intricate fabric of reality might be encoded and projected.

Introduction

The Absolute is not a specific entity but rather is the undifferentiated source from which all differentiation arises. It can be thought of as a state of pure potential, where detection is not divided into detector and detected. It does not detect and is not detected. This echoes concepts in quantum field theory where potential states spawn observable phenomena.

With the Big Bang, the Absolute holographically projected our universe, of separate entities that detect each other. This happened because the Absolute contained the potential for it. Detection is the ability of all entities, even the inanimate, to interact with and respond to their environment. Information accumulates when detection is divided into the detector and the detected. This concept parallels the way quantum systems encode information through interactions that occur at the smallest scales, where particles interact via forces or fields, suggesting that reality itself functions as a dynamic quantum hologram.

As a projection of the Absolute, our universe resonates with the holographic principle, under which our three dimensions can be encoded on a two-dimensional surface. All information that describes the universe can be seen as emerging from a more fundamental, lower-dimensional structure, much like a complex image that is projected from a simpler source.

Foundational Concepts

1. Quantum Fluctuations

Quantum fluctuations are intrinsic to the quantum nature of spacetime and are crucial in shaping the universe’s fabric. Spacetime’s discrete structure prevents singularities from forming and ensures the universe’s smooth dynamics. These fluctuations, which occur at the Planck scale, create the basis for the observed interactions between matter and energy.

Quantum fluctuations refer to the inherent uncertainties and transient behaviors that occur at the quantum scale. The quantized nature of spacetime, represented by the equation [D_{pq} = \frac{l_P^2}{l_{qc}^2}], describes it as subject to fluctuations that occur at discrete intervals.

2. The Absolute

The influence of the Absolute can be modeled by an equation where the transition from potentiality to information occurs through quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations create spacetime’s structure and the basis for all physical phenomena. We also recognize that the evolution of this quantum reality, or hologram ((\mathcal{U})), is a fundamental aspect of this influence.

We express this influence mathematically as:
P_{\text{information}}) + C + \frac{\partial^2 \mathcal{U}}{\partial t^2}]

Where:
– The term (\frac{\partial^2 \mathcal{U}}{\partial t^2}) represents the dynamic evolution of the quantum hologram of reality, highlighting its active role in manifestation.
– P_{\text{potential}}Ppotential​ represents the pure potentiality of the Absolute, and
– P_{\text{information}}Pinformation​ corresponds to the informational structure emerging from detection.
– The constant (\alpha) links these two domains, while CC accounts for the core integrity or resilience of the universe.
– The term (\frac{\partial^2 \mathcal{U}}{\partial t^2}) represents the dynamic evolution of the quantum hologram of reality, highlighting its active role in manifestation.:

3. Detection as the Universal Phenomenon

Detection is the fundamental aspect of existence. Every entity detects and responds to external stimuli, whether through gravitational forces or other interactions. This process of detection is intimately linked to how information is encoded and projected into our observable reality.

As quantum systems interact and detect each other, they accumulate information and create complexity. This process can be described mathematically by the Unified Probability Equation (UPE), which governs the probabilistic outcomes in quantum mechanics, and further by how detected fields synthesize reality:

[P(\text{Outcome}) = |\Psi|^2]

This describes the emergence of observable phenomena from the underlying state of pure detection. Furthermore, the synthesis of detected fields with underlying physical reality is captured by:

[\nabla \cdot E = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0} + \nabla \cdot F]

This equation underscores how our detection of fields (EE) is intrinsically linked to the charge density ((\rho)) and an underlying field’s divergence (FF), demonstrating the active role of detection in shaping reality.

Theoretical Framework

1. Quantization of Spacetime

Spacetime consists of discrete units, or quantum points. This discrete nature prevents the formation of singularities, particularly in extreme environments such as black holes or the Big Bang. 

The equation [D_{pq} = \frac{l_P^2}{l_{qc}^2}] reflects the granular structure of spacetime, where the Planck length l_PlP​ and a characteristic length scale for quantum points l_{qc}lqc​ govern the behavior of spacetime at microscopic scales. This also implies that the entire universe’s information can be seen as encoded on an underlying two-dimensional boundary.

2. Quantum Fluctuations and the Modified Schrödinger Equation

Quantum fluctuations govern the dynamics of quantum systems at the scale of quantum points. These fluctuations introduce perturbations that are integral to the formation of observable phenomena, including the dynamic evolution of the quantum hologram itself. 

The dynamics of quantum systems near quantum points are governed by a modified Schrödinger equation:

[\hbar \frac{\partial \psi(x,t)}{\partial t} = \left( H – \frac{\hbar^2}{2m_0} \nabla^2 \right) \psi(x,t)]

This modified equation accounts for the quantum fluctuations that occur because of spacetime’s discrete nature. This equation, at its core, describes the time evolution of the very quantum states that comprise the manifested reality.

3. Energy and Gravitational Effects

Energy and gravity are not primary phenomena but result from specific configurations and interactions of information. The gravitational potential is modified by quantum corrections that reflect the informational density and flow within spacetime, as well as the dynamic interactions of the underlying quantum hologram. 

The modified gravitational potential is given by:

[V(x) = -G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r} + \frac{\hbar}{4\pi r} \left( \nabla^2 \psi(x) – \frac{G \hbar}{4 \pi c^2} \left( \nabla^2 \psi(x) \right)^2 \right)]

This captures the role of quantum fluctuations in shaping the gravitational field and offers a new perspective on gravity that includes quantum dynamics and the informational structure of reality.

4. The Unfolding Equation and Holographic Dynamics

This equation locates transition points, including exponential thresholds, for the complexity of manifested reality:

[J_n = 10^{\lambda_n} (2^{\omega(n)} – 2)]

Here, J_n Jn​ denotes the complexity or information density of a system at step n n, while \lambda_n λn​ is a dimensionless constant linked to fundamental physical constants, and \omega(n) ω(n) describes the growth rate of complexity. 

This is the unfolding of reality. It is intrinsically linked to the evolution of the quantum hologram, which also undergoes dynamic changes based on inherent uncertainties and interactions:

[\frac{\partial^2 \mathcal{U}}{\partial t^2} = \alpha \cdot \left( \Delta x \cdot \Delta p + \Delta t \cdot \Delta E \right) \cdot \left( \Delta F \cdot \Delta r + \Delta D \cdot \lambda \right) + \delta \cdot \mathcal{U}^2]

This extended equation describes the evolution of the quantum hologram ((\mathcal{U})), encoding information about the system’s state, including nonlinear self-interactions, and highlights how the universe’s informational structure dynamically emerges.

5. Contextuality and Decoherence

Quantum measurements are inherently contextual, meaning that information is extracted and processed depending on the observational context. Decoherence describes the process by which quantum systems lose coherent superpositions of informational states due to environmental interactions, effectively collapsing the quantum hologram into a more definite state. 

The time evolution of a density matrix under decoherence is given by:

[\frac{d\rho(t)}{dt} = -\frac{i}{\hbar} [H, \rho(t)] + \mathcal{D}[\rho(t)]]

This captures the way decoherence shapes the information content of quantum systems, leading to the emergence of classical informational states from the underlying quantum holographic potential.

6. Entropy and Information Theory

Entropy serves as a key measure of information content and is essential for understanding the evolution of complexity. The entropy at step nn can be formulated as:

[S_n \approx k \left( \lambda_n \ln(10) + \omega(n) \ln(2) \right)]

This equation can be extended to account for factors such as decoherence, conditional entropy, and updated probabilities, further integrating the dynamics of quantum holography:

[S_n \approx k( \lambda_n \ln(10) + \omega(n) \ln(2) + H(X|C) + D[\rho(t)] + P_{\text{posterior}} )]

Where:
– H(X|C)H(X∣C) represents conditional entropy,
– D[\rho(t)]D[ρ(t)]
– D[\rho(t)]D[ρ(t)] accounts for decoherence, and
– P_{\text{posterior}}Pposterior​  represents updated probabilities resulting from detection.

The thermodynamic implications of information are reflected in the relationship between entropy and the evolution of the universe toward greater complexity, consistent with the unfolding of an informational quantum hologram.

7. Dynamics of Manifestation and the Equation of Change

The unfolding of reality from the Absolute’s potential can be conceptualized with the generalized Equation of Change, which governs the progression of the quantum hologram of reality:

[J_{n+1} = h(n, J_n, \Sigma_{p \leq n} k(p, J_n), b^{\lambda(n, J_n)} \cdot f(n, J_n), C(n, J_n))]

Where:
– hh is the function determining the transition from one state of reality – -J_nJn​ to the next J_{n+1}Jn+1​,
– nn represents the current state,
– (\Sigma_{p \leq n} k(p, J_n)) reflects mathematical influences,
– b^{\lambda(n, J_n)} \cdot f(n, J_n)bλ(n,Jn​)⋅f(n,Jn​) captures growth rates, and
– C(n, J_n)C(n,Jn​) represents contextual variables.

This equation, combined with the dynamic evolution of the quantum hologram itself, provides a comprehensive view of how the universe manifests from potentiality.

Discussion

The path of all systems from existence to nonexistence can be expressed this way:

Existence → Location → Information → Coherence → Emergence → Organization → Complexity → Decoherence → Nonexistence.

In this progression, location is the cumulative measurement of existence, information is the cumulative measure of location, and so forth. Notice that the measurement that occurs throughout is a matter of detection that is divided into detector and detected. The continuous evolution and interaction of quantum information, as described by the dynamic quantum hologram, underpins each stage of this progression.

The Absolute, which is undivided detection, is beyond even existence and nonexistence. Our state of divided detection is no more than a projection from the Absolute, a dynamic quantum hologram unfolding in time. It is existence, which is the first stage in the progression. The entire process from existence to nonexistence is an illusion, a temporary projection. Even the memory of it vanishes.

Empirical Validation

Philosophical Implications

— Nonduality and Perception: The theory dispenses with traditional dualistic thinking, portraying reality as a unified quantum hologram emerging from the Absolute.

— Consciousness and Detection: It depicts all entities as in some way aware, with detection being the fundamental process of information extraction from the quantum hologram.

— Temporal and Eternal Perspectives: It portrays time as illusory relative to the eternal Absolute, and our individual identities as transient manifestations, or localized projections, from a timeless continuum.

— Implications for the Absolute: It provides a complete view of how the unstructured state of pure potentiality gives rise to the structured reality we detect, through the dynamic unfolding of a quantum hologram.

Conclusion

The Theory of Potential Manifestation is a new portrayal of existence. It depicts reality as ultimately probabilistic, and it tells us that we exist because we could exist, as a dynamic quantum hologram projected from pure potential. It invites us to rethink our place in the universe, our aspirations, and the values we collectively hold. Collaborations from physics, philosophy, and consciousness studies are needed to validate it and expand its scope, especially in exploring the full implications of reality as a quantum holographic projection.
