This is a book designed to investigate my favorite subject: human beings
How I began this journey is a long story.
My guess is that you don't have time for a long story so I will give you a short one.
You see... ever since I was a little kid I was always fascinated by how people think, and of course, how they come to feel about what they think. What I ended up discovering, however has become more complex than I had originally thought.
For instance, in observing how people think and how they come to feel about what they think I found that one cannot separate the "how they think" from how they feel about what they think. Experience has shown me that for most of the persons I have encountered in my 60 plus years so often confuse "how they feel about what they think" with thinking. Sound almost funny doesn't it? Well, yes, at first, but then when you come to think about that confusing feelings with thinking usually results in some rather bizarre behavior. That having been noticed I spent most of my life piecing out the two and attempting to understand some of the principles behind the relationships
between thought and feelings.
I think I have come up with something that will at least be interesting to some and hopefully helpful to others. By the use of simile and metaphor I have developed some graphics that I refer to as "maps". Taken only to be a guide to the text these maps serve to show the relationships between our personal policies about handling day to day experiences as well as how those policies reflect our personal understanding of human nature.
This web site will introduce you to those "maps" and how I came to fill them in categorically, eventually drawing out the connections from and to each.
This web site will also allow readers and potential readers to examine these illustrations more closely than they can in the book and with the additional benefit that they are in color, which, sadly, I was not able to afford doing in either the printed version or the Kindle version of the book.
In order to make any sense of the illustrations in Principa I must first lay out the premise upon which the book is based:
1. Based on current theories in physics, particle and string theory, I suggest that it is a very strong possibility that the universe uses a holographic process of
physical construction.
2. If that is the case, then current ideas of how we exist within that universe is due for reflection and revision.
3. I proceed along those lines focusing on how our thought processes would, and could be "mapped out" so to speak to reflect that paradigm.
4. Using the idea of computers, and especially how the design of their functioning reflects our process of thinking I use familiar terms and function/action relationships
to explain what I have discovered about human psychology and to illustrate my points using simile with icons within a drawn parameter of our existence.
