Could Nothingness Be Another Dimension In And Of Itself?

My theory does include intelligence. Intelligence is another product of complex interaction.

Nope. Other way around. That Emergent Theory is the case is just an idea amongst some scientists that has no credibility. They cannot tell us how the material brain creates non material consciousness.

I would also agree that the cosmos and nature have intelligence, but intelligence as energy/light.

It's not so much that the cosmos and nature have intelligence as that they are intelligence itself. It may be a semantic problem. For example, we may say: 'the lightning flashes', when, in fact, the lightning and the flashing are one and the same phenomena. Or we may think of a tree as made of wood; it is not made of wood; it IS wood.

And so the mystic Vivekenanda tells us:

'The Universe IS The Absolute, as seen through the glass of Time, Space, and Causation'

So looking at it this way, intelligence and the cosmos are not a duality; but a unity. Intelligence and the cosmos are one and the same Reality.

I wouldn't say that electromagnetism is intelligent, but those fundamental interactions under the right circumstances, can cause matter to form in complex ways which could lead to more interactive and intelligent or "conscious" forms.

That's just a fantasy notion. At what point does the magical transformation occur, and how?

That is because the material brain does not "create" consciousness. The material brain interacts in a complex manner and that interaction is conscious.

Does saying that 'everything is interaction' actually explain anything?


Yes. It explains everything. Everything...all matter and energy is interactive via the Fundamental Forces. Some things just interact in more complex ways than others. It is just that freakin simple.

2*6= complex interactions.
His name=complex interactions.
Freakin simple=complex interactions.
His car needs a new: complex interaction.
For breakfast, I ate: complex interactions.
The theory of everything=complex interactions.
God=complex interactions.
Intelligence=complex interactions.
Virtual particles are not virtual particles, they are:complex interactions.
Their properties are: complex interactions.

A rock interacts with its environment in a simple manner. A plant interacts with its environment in a more complex manner. An insect or an animal interacts in an even more complex manner. Through the process of evolution those interactions became more and more complex. The human brain is the most highly evolved and therefore interacts in the most complex manner. Everything interacts in some way, but not all forms/interactions are equally complex.

You're right though, everything is energy and matter interacting, connecting, mingling together. It's that simple. That gets boring though.

If it's that "simple," how can it be so "complex?" The complexity getting simplified on more quantum scales.
