Maya - The illusion!

Recently a friend mentioned about Maya to me.. (PS-> its not the software!).Its the "Illusion"!!

Maya - check out wat wiki has in store.

Signal conditioning!
This is part of every human activity..
e.g. Food - we like to bake, boil, grill or fry and eat with a garnish. Real ingredients conditioned beyond recognition.

Precis writing - a branch evolved just to limit conditioning
why does a verb need an adverb, a noun need an adjective?
i am not limiting the creativity but pointing out the exaggerations. need for limitless details.. this blog being an example!

Let me stop the digression, getting back to Maya - eternal conditioning of(/by?) senses!
we have seen that condtioning is way of life as far as humans are concerned.

we depend on all our senses (visual,aural,vocal,olfactory and tactitory) to feel the universe.. its like we sit in a room with an amazing home theater system to know wats happening outside. Quintessential question is , does this Home Theater system do any conditioning. If not, how do we disprove it?

i wear spectacles, a common conditioning we know of. What if there are non physical conditioning. Conditioning pertaining to processing the signals or transformations done to damp/amplify the signals.

What if our senses cannot detect signals beyond a certain band of frequency or dimension? spooky!
para-normal, quasi-normal, abnormal - are they conditioning gone berserk??

Matrix - this movie brought in a modern outlook to an old concept. What if? we are victims of mass delusions!

Since, it deserves a blog on its own, let me get back to current hypothesis. we have heard of various psychedelic drugs. What if? we do delude in such a hormone that keeps us unaware of the reality.

What if? the world we see is a world that we actually imagine.
What if? Balaji did not write this blog, but you imagine it to be written in the imaginary world that your senses project before you!!

i will now leave you to ruminate on that!

Thoughts - Inventions Dissected

Thoughts!
They distinguish us apart from all other beings. They give us the identity.
They are us even without we realizing it.
They are the wizards that create something outta nothing. but is it truly so.

if i try to think(?!) about that i am absolutely amazed.

A thought is a by-product of thinking. it is a past-tense implying something that happened because of a process called thinking .People create something new that had never existed? which is AGAINST the LAW of CONSERVATION of statin nothing new can be created, only one think
can be modified to another thing
how come something be created outta nothing ? Poor Einstein gave his life trying to convince us that this cant happen...

but these "thoughts" are breaking the rules. or is it my ignorance that makes me believe that thoughts are something outta blue??


Thinking..

Each second we are bombarded with zillions of data but its amazing that brain meticulously records it and processes it. the very screen that u r lookin at is nothing but a 1024X768 Matrix but brain picks it up and gets a meaningful information outta this data...

but what is more spectacular is the way brain puts together a seemingly unrelated data into a new set of information that leads to dynamic data generation to realize the same..


thinking process may be
- putting a set of related/unrelated informations to generate new set of data
- re-process the existing data to interpret it as a new information by applying a known pattern to modify the data
- also hav a prediction based on expected pattern and when there is a close match , refine it to get a meanin outta it. now use this as new set of data
- to combine the above steps recursively in any order and any number of times

i donno whether there are any inventions that happen without any inspirations..
they either happen outta inspirations and or out of misinterpretations!! but does it mean i can plan for an invention. . any process would have defined steps and following them would lead us to goal.. so , are these inventions not reachable by anybody..

Restrictions being,

-- sufficient data to interpret
-- suffictient Pattern/Template library to process data
-- ability to handle volumes of data

does it mean there is no intuition in intuitive sense? can anybody or every body make an invention through discipline and planning? Well all i can do is THINK aloud..

but if u know any invention that happened outta blue and whose inspirations cannot be traced, please do tell, i'll think over it :-)
