THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE AND LIFE Krishna Gopal Misra |

Abstract: Computational observers transcend knowledge by questioning the instability or imperfection in systems (cause and effect cycles) that causes it moving endlessly. The cause that physical systems have limitation of speed of light and cannot cope up with infinite computational ability of the observers is knowledge. This is a reason of existence of systems and entrapped life cannot realize knowledge. Knowledge is the awareness of higher levels of freedom. 'When you are free, you cannot escape.' With freedom, activity of reaction ceases. Knowledge, devoid of a reaction, is motionless. Knowledge is an awareness of the cause of movement, and 'not knowing' starts a chaos (for inquiry and defense) called life. To bring the chaos into an order, individuals' voluntary consciousness (intelligence) contemplates every movement into a certain cause and effect cycles (called system or sciences) in trying to bring the fluctuation of consciousness back to the 'certainty of knowing' or 'non-reaction' or the motionless state. Chaos and system represent movements and knowledge, the 'state of being certain' or motionless. Knowledge ceases the movement through its computational ability of infinite or immeasurable speed. When speed is infinite, distances everywhere become zero. This is the reason why perfection of reasoning cannot be entirely empirical or verifiable by the physical systems that have a restriction of speed of light. The communication on the subject is organized in eight steps.

1.1 Theory of uncertainty between observer and the observed Nothing exists without the observer
Science deals with study of physical systems. All physical things are made of nothing else except the matter, energy, space and time. If something cannot be measured, it is not physical. A physical system is endless movement of these forms, and yet is measurable (to be called physical). Movement depends on the observer. Things don't have an identity without the observer and neither is a movement defined. Only when observer becomes the origin, its co-ordinate system specifies positions of a particle moving from one coordinate to another. A packet of matter and energy is observed as moving object. Energy is cause of the movement and matter is the object moved. The togetherness of the packet of energy and matter demonstrates any movement. The object could be any thing, a quantum or electron or a light particle or a tiger or automobile or a train or huge planets. A movement is space-time dependent and measurement standard used for this is, 'speed of light' which is a constant. Space and time are two axis of a co-ordinate system for describing a movement. Speed of light is a measurement standard. We don't have a memory of how first time the light came to exist. It does not matter. Try a hypothesis that you lightened a candle in an unknown darkness. Candle is a matter. When it burns, matter is converted into energized light particles. Here, the movement begins. Space is slowly created around the candle to accommodate the movement of emitting light particles. Measurement of this space (or distance traveled by the light particles) is made by a sensory standard called 'speed of light'. [One second measures approximately 30 km traveled by light in vacuum.] By laws of nature, matter has a property of gravity or contraction and energy, of expansion. In this way, matter and energy oppose each other, and thus create a universe of space-time. Senses of observer trapped in this space-time now see physical system as a reality. The 'unknowing' observer who once lightened the candle, is trapped inside of the physical system (constrained by speed of light) he himself created. He cannot switch off the candle to live off the universe, unless all his curiosity is solved. Sensory recognition of physical system is the experience. Arrival of light particles from a distance is the source of experience of constant expansion of the universe. This also happens for a small distance but we don't notice its movement. Memory is like a note pad which is created by senses to record changes and to know. And inability to convert memory into knowledge gives the experience of an infinite continuum of time and space. This way, experiences of growing universe (of physical system) validates the hypothesis of 'lightening of a candle'. The universe is so big 'a balloon' to fill millions of galaxies and, is so small 'an orifice' that it depends (not on itself but) on existence of an observer. An observer is equivalent to tiny black-hole that consumes all activities of the physical universe. Universe is product of a physical system that is so law abiding and mechanical that activities of thought (called intelligence) can create wars, space missions, disasters and can change it in any manner. Thought, intelligence or laws of nature are forms of consciousness that guarantee comfort and stability of the physical universe. Energy is a function of matter and movement, and vice versa. An object, at any point of space while moving into a system, is kept balanced by forces of expansion and contraction. A law says, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. At any point, sum of kinetic and potential energy remains constant. Movement of a particle comprises of matter (object moved), energy (cause of movement), and 'specific law' (mathematical relationship). This 'specific law' is the consciousness or mathematical relationship that balances the movement at its different points. Laws also vary according to different situations. Newton's law governs forces of gravity between heavy matters. Wan der Vaals' laws govern forces between molecules. A physical system works in a fixed relation to matter, energy and laws of movement. And movements by forces of contraction and expansion form a loop, called system. System is cycles of cause and effect, through forces of expansion and contraction of the various types e.g., solar system, economic system and so on. If you stay on this track, you will realize that laws of motion apply to life in the physical system, as well. Our every movement from birth to death follows a trajectory and keeps its balance every time between activities of physical system (equivalent to kinetic energy) and the knowledge or perfect contentment (equivalent to potential energy). Every individual is moving in a trajectory within his own universe. Longer the loop or throw of the trajectory, higher is the tension of life. The collisions in path of lives create universal chaos. Matter, energy, space and time are though looking separate in the form but none of these have independent existence. All systems e.g., cause and effect cycles that can exist in the universe are governed strictly by these laws. Scientists including Newton and Albert Einstein used computation skills for re-assuring themselves about the certainty in laws of the physical universe. 'God does not play dice' is a famous quote from Einstein. While a physical system is working on its own, the question is how certain is the observer. Heisenberg, an experimental physicist in his 'uncertainty principle' says that state of a quantum (energized particle) whether it is a wave or particle depends on the observer. A system cannot understand itself. By rules of physical system, understanding of physical system by the observer is not possible. The observer and observed system should be treated distinctly. Movement is seen by different observers with co-ordinate systems of their own. As a result, observers at different time-space will see the same things differently. By limitation of the physical system, observers cannot be at same position of space - time, and every one has a very different universe. And yet, people know one universe. That means, seeing and knowing is not the same thing. Observers imagine by computational development. This means, knowledge is beyond the physical system. Observer becomes omnipresent by computational measurements or mathematical theories, which is independent of the 'empirical' or physical seeing (where speed of light has its limit). The way we know things, is caused by 'computational' omnipresence. While systems are endless physical movements within limit of speed of light, the knowledge is mathematical with a set of variables that can take any value of space-time, and are independent of senses. Physical system and the observer connect themselves by memory. When somebody dies, you keep the memory. Writing an idea or scientific invention creates a physical memory of yours'. Memory is a sort of cognitive fixation or snap shots of a physical system. By recollecting that memory, any one can see the footprints of space-time. For example, watching a photograph or video film is a travel (with infinite speed) to another space - time of memory's origin. This process is computational. You, in this way, travel into space-time without the power to react. And if you react, this is done in a different spacetime and starts a new chaos. Reaction is cause of all movement into endless systems of various cause and effect cycles. Lack of this awareness of space-time or speed differences, is causing a reaction. For example: when you run, speed of legs tries to close its gap with speed of your seeing. Similarly, your speed of seeing tries to close gap with your thought. Speed of thought is cognitive e.g., based on memory, measurement and reasoning, and it varies from one individual to another. Competition among people is differences in thought. Thoughts don't have speed but have different subjects of inquiry (called desires). Transitioning from one desire to another continue to disturb the universe until it reaches the state of knowledge or 'involuntary' / thoughtless realization. When thought ceases, differences or distance become zero and all running stops. All activities of life or physiological reactions, in essence, try bridging the gap between speeds of different kinds. An observer has all sorts of capability e.g., to run on legs (in kilometer per hour), to see (with speed of light), to think (intelligence) and also to know (thoughtless realization). He is omnipresent, by pure 'knowing' or computational reasoning with infinite or immeasurable speed. At such speed, senses cannot react and stay as pure observer without any 'voluntary' thoughts. With unlimited access to observation, distances in time and space become zero. Omnipresent laws of nature replace activity of separate identities of lives, and the observer and observed immerse into one. An observer cannot distinguish between real (seen at different time-space) and imaginary (cognitive teleportation) as past and futures don't exist. Definition of past or future is situational that depends on whether it is yet seen or not seen, at different values of time-space in the physical system. Universes are created and re-created by use of 'law abiding' physical systems. For instance, decision of wars, drawing of a machine or building, invention is equivalent to putting digital values to the system of physical universe. An unattached observer (not bound to the system) can use the physical system as a toy for recreating any universes for his self-study and realization. Mathematicians and physicists such as Newton, Albert Einstein and Jesus Christ are realized souls. As true observers, they are never surprised with various movements of planets, political or any other system, or other actions of universe in any past or future. They are also not known for their memory keeping or inventing products or other memorabilia. The state of 'certainty of knowing' removes desire of reaction or exposition, and is called state of motionlessness.
1.2 Know-how of 'infinite' observation and ceasing of the movement 'Voluntary' intelligence is a way to 'involuntary' knowledge Observation is about measurement. Measurement of a movement is not physical (even though seeing can be). This is purely computational. Computational observer is thus able to discover existence of a larger system by generalizing his localized observation thorough fool proofing. Computation eliminates the need of 'empiricism' or physical observation. History is seen by none and yet existence of the observer can be imagined at different space - time. Similarly, planetary motions that can not be physically measured are known only by computational models. Those who question the cause of movement (property of a system) seek knowledge. According to a legend, Newton saw an apple falling from a tree. The falling movement started several questions in his mind. Each one of them was studied using experiments. Experiment means, use of controlled systems for generating the data. Data is a non-physical form or a memory product for the computation. Using these, Newton discovered the law of motion and gravity in the physical systems. His law or the knowledge is not bound by physical system or speed of light. These can predict behavior of the system, every where and every time. For example, it can predict pattern of movements of football in field, planetary movements and discovering history of galaxies. On principle, the theoretical model used by an observer is computational and not physical, and thus has no constraint of speed of light as a reference standard of space-time. The freedom from clutches of various systems is only possible through computational means, and that results into knowledge.
The observer steady in the observation becomes able to recognize the pattern of movements and their interactions in various systems. Computation or reasoning is nonphysical and is unrestricted by sensory limits. When the speed is infinite, distance between observers is zero; and in the state of omnipresence, one can predict without relying on his/her sensory abilities (limited by speed of light). The phenomenon of believing is this realization of the omnipresence by every observer. It means, people will see different things and yet know the same thing. In some sense, people become 'universal knower' by means of imagination by reasoned extrapolation of their limited observations. All things we believe without our own sensual experience (not real) make us omnipresent through a common theory across the union of observers. Computational observer can predict behavior of a system. Predicting does not mean taking decisions. A system is like map of a city. Commuters' decision where they want to go is called information. You plan with information, and with system you predict. Physics, chemistry, biology are various systems. This can only answer what will happen when you do this, or that. System or sciences can only explain roadmap of movements but cannot answer why the movement started. 1.3 How life causes beginning of movement for the universal chaos Cease the physical universe to gather glimpse of knowledge Observer is a computational being, with its reasoning and memory. When he is standstill, he observes every movement of the ready-made world flowing around him. He is like a camera taking pictures. These pictures are kept analyzed by the 'computational observer' inside the mind free of constraints (speed of light) of the physical system. As long as he remains independent of the system, he can objectively know the entire system and can predict every event around him. This steadiness in observation comes with an awareness of the detachment with system. When computational observer doubts the determinacy of physical system, he wants to respond to his own uncertainly and have defense (called 'desires'). Objectivity of reasoning is thus, impaired. He becomes expectant to a certain outcome and does not remain pure observer. This imperfection or disbelieve in determinacy of system causes the observer to take action. And he, as 'physiological observer' is capable of this action using his physical (matter, energy, space, time) and logical (memory and reasoning) abilities. Life or movement = 'should be' (desire: limit => infinite) - 'is' (physical system: limit => speed of light) When an observer becomes engaged in the action, he is trapped in its own understanding of the system (cause and effect cycles) and cannot see it from the outside. He, then, recognizes time as real and not computational. This state of the 'physiological observer' is imperfect and actionable who recognizes time and space as real boundaries. He recognizes boundaries of the past and future in the real time. A camera does not have any past or future. It neither exists for the computational observer. Past and future are creation of the 'physiological observers' who cause action because of the imperfection in its reasoning or computational abilities. Observers in a physical system try to increase speed but cannot move more than speed of light and thus, find no end of running. Movement of life is caused by this 'imperfect observer'. Albert Einstein had no sense of time. Time was a variable in all his computations and he was confident that time in the physical system exist from zero to infinity. This depends on the observers and not on the system. At a dinner party, Einstein found some people saying 'they were getting late as there was no time'. For him, these people trapped by system, thought the time as real. Similarly, cause and effects of economic system, legal and political systems are also real to 'imperfect observers' constrained by the speed of light or physical system, and unreal to computational observers. People transform their behavior once they get out of the movement of the system and can observe the system computationally. In modern business and technology firms, people are trained to observe the entire system objectively, and participate into it with knowledge or 'process oriented' approach. Physiological actions resemble several fire alarms triggered from a smoke detector. Once chain of reaction starts, this becomes chaos. Life takes charge as 'physiological observer', and starts reacting to systems of which the consequences of the consequences are not fully known. Life only is capable of triggering action that causes movements in the entire universe. This vibration or movement in consciousness creates the life and consequently the Universe of the physical system (unstoppable chaos). This chaos is recognized by experiences or sensory feelings of pleasure and pains. Measurements convert experiences into data to have precise observation. These data, when are sufficient for a decision, is called information. Realization of consequences of information into endless movements of cause and effect is system. When cause of movement is understood, it is knowledge. The cycles of life and death is thus completed where all desires of actions is exhausted. 1.4 Actions of knowledge, research, non-reaction or 'karma'
The process of life is a vibration in consciousness that causes the universal chaos. In the effort to control the chaos, movements are understood as a pattern of cause and effect cycles called system. Physical system is mother of all sub systems whether man-made or natural. Examples are biological, psychological, economic, political, legal, social, educational, solar, information systems. Formation of all system and sub-systems are like planetary motions in bigger and smaller orbits. On principle, desires cannot be satisfied in physical system because process of imagination is limit less and physical system is limited by the speed of light. The speed difference is the motive of reactions. 'Imperfect observers' through their actions try to improve situation in the physical system by inventing something to satisfy desires/ limitation. Products like writing equipment, telephones, medicines, automobiles, atom bomb, air craft and space missions; and man-made system such as various technologies, information system, economic system, and monetary system, legal and political system are such examples. Creative process is not a reaction. Computational thinkers have no limits such as problem of 'reality' of physical system. This is how they become omnipresent. Observers with computational or reasoning abilities go close to understanding every system of the cause and effects. While the object remains same, depending on depth of the inquiry, their impressions change from one observer to another. For example, ideas of atoms by Dalton were different in beginning than the current awareness about its atomic structure consisting of electron, proton and neutron. State of nonindividual or selfless action of 'physiological observer' unbounded by the need of reaction to any system is called research (nishkam karma yoga in Bhagwat Gita). This process of observation is transformational. A research does not recycle memory but finds new experience.
The observer detached from the system is able to have free himself and become objectively aware of all its various cause and effect cycles. Being purely computational, there is no physical fatigue to 'physiological observer'. The consciousness is purely awakened state of the observer, and opposite to the idea of sleep or withdrawal from work under fear. Albert Einstein and Newton demonstrated profound knowledge initiated from study of physical system. All sorts of research, including wars, sciences and philosophy, have transformed Europe by the practice of nishkam karm yoga. This non-attachment to results is also a character of 'system oriented' work. In chaos, desire of individuals is unpredictable that show absence of a system. Employees, businessmen, stock brokers, lawyers look very clever for their attachment to results, and are yet restrained. Better is system, more restrained and less greedy they will be. This restraining power of a faithful 'system' pushes every individual to conserve their energy for a unity of purpose to seek knowledge. A system thus, spins and brings chaos to halt. Result of system is the reward of freedom from deprivation of material prosperity, loss of fear from uncertainty and to future desires of higher freedom by engaging into research of the unknown or karma theory. Priority of undeveloped nations, government and individuals should be to create faithful systems to stop chaos, remove material deprivations and allow people to research for their own peace of mind and non-reaction. This 'nishkam karm yoga' is the need of modern societies. Newton and Albert Einstein are examples of computational observers to the physical systems. A 'computational observer' is free to do continuous research free from any system related constraints and don't need to wait for something, or bound by their own motivated expectancies. Einstein admitted that his continued absorption in self inquiry and research was a necessity to save him from trap of his own cognitive system of memory and expectations. By the higher state of awareness, he found no need to invent or create products or any physical forms. Products e.g. TV, aircraft are a cognitive fixation or memory in physical system. The observers are freer by confidence in the laws of physical systems that can create any application. The observers, who don't create memory in form of product or system, can move further in knowledge without undue concerns of ego, falsehood, politics, violence or such things. These things are defense of human behavior in the lowly systems not known to them (as the consequences or cause and effect cycles are not fully known or not desirable). 1.5 Knowledge (Yoga) is realization of involuntary consciousness Examples like Kepler, Newton and Einstein are computational observers. They knew physical system to achieve a state of knowledge or the freedom from the trap of cause and effect cycles, when nothing remains unknown. To them, energy, matter, space and time are only variables of physical system that assume different values in the reality of the universe. This realization of detachment with a system (by mathematics) and becoming aware and blissful is, Einstein's Yoga. Similarly, scientists devoted to research are said to practice Einstein's Yoga. This is example of 'sankhaya yoga' of the Bhagwat Gita. Untruth, doubt or uncertainty is enemy of knowledge. Sankhya means tool of precision or numbers used by mathematics. Sankhya yoga means, developments guided by the precision or perfection of observation. Physiological process of achieving detachment from desire (or cause of movement) is called yoga. The computational observers in this case, concentrate on their own tools of the observation viz., senses of inquiry and actions. You can realize error in the sensory tools of life only when it is compared or calibrated with physical system. More error causes more re-work. Controls of senses need practice. A sharp shooter has more accuracy in measuring distance and direction. Winning of desires can be achieved by educating senses of inquiry and actions. Five sense organs like skin (touch), eye (visual), ear (sound), tongue (taste) and nose (odor) are input devises to the body. There is an inner organ that recognizes pain or signal of injury and energy shortage (hunger) within the body. Nervous system and brain works like central processing unit of a computer. These organs and systems of information are, in essence, physiological defense from external atmosphere. With help of these physical senses, life runs into system of different kind and gets an artificial safety till it has realized knowledge. If the senses can be silenced, there will be no disturbance or recognition of movements. For example, in dream or deep sleep, consciousness is without an action or experience. This is 'involuntary' consciousness. Realization of 'deep sleep in awakened state' is a practice of yoga. By observing movements of cause and effect cycles of inquiry and actions, one sees it as unending chaos and detaches himself from such experience. He then moves up to seek knowledge. Sleep is natural yoga that neutralizes every day chaos. When there is no chaos in life, sleep and awakening is no different. Intuition becomes a natural trait. Yoga or process of this knowledge is called meta-physics (or mother of physics). Physical system is, in short called physics. Recollection or understanding 'involuntary' consciousness during state of sleep is one of ways of 'thoughtless realization'. Sleep is like our daily rebirth in the local system. Deep thinking by scientists and saints gets them to 'thoughtless realization'. The conviction of pure reason is the intuition for them to act decisively. Great scientists and thinkers have intuition as their natural trait. People have their own techniques of self control for seeking knowledge. Gandhi, initially, devised a method of spinning cotton by hand wheel. He made the senses of the body occupied in doing this spinning job while he was free to do deep thinking in his chosen area. Similarly, walking, watching TV or taking drinks are such monotonous activity that occupies senses and it isolates the mind to think freely. By pure reasoning, the power of mind increases. In second step, Gandhi practiced self control by observing instinct of 'voluntary' senses of his body, and educated them by inner thinking. In this effort, he observed abstinence from sex (not dependent on sex for pleasure), maun (questioning the need to speak), fasting (not dependent on food for living), ahimsa (removing the idea of enmity with others that can divert attention) and truth (removing doubtful memory). Such 'technical' practice of 'permanently' silencing of senses is initially a conscious effort for experiencing the system (cause and effects cycles) of life. In the third step, mind goes on to discipline the 'involuntary' physiological system such as brain activity, breathing etc. In the end, the restraining ability of yogi gives rise to transformation of life by the awareness of 'involuntary' consciousness or 'perfect contentment'. The questions for every person or subjects of meditation can be different. And yet, it is the same process of yoga that is used by Einstein or Newton in learning physics and mathematics, and Gandhi in Bhagwat Gita. Mother Teresa learnt the service of humanity. By success of pure reasoning or realizing the formlessness in whatever area, physical system (cause and effects of matter, energy, space and time) becomes a product. A scientist is omnipresent by his knowledge. For him, past or future is variables of time in the physical system. By the 'involuntary' nature of the pure consciousness, persons cannot be lazy or tempted to a non-righteous action of unknown consequences. Reaction causes chaos. The body and objects it interacts with, merely become the instruments of action guided by the intuition. Physical system like a talisman can show any thing. There remains nothing surprising. Jesus Christ and Buddha are yogis. Miracles of science can also show many things e.g., TV, aircraft that look supernatural in the first instance. Theory of knowledge by yoga is explained by Lord Krishna in Bhagwat Gita and Yoga Sutra of Patanjali. 1.6 Creativity is a test of desires in the physical system Conviction of pure reason is called intuition. The idea picked up from realization is physically formed into inventions. Reality is frozen imagination or, thoughts take the forms. Every invention is like a yogic distillation process. Once water vapor rises and wants to reach infinity, but on its way, gets heavy in cold up there and comes back in ocean. Creativity is thinking goals 'unrestricted' by time-space of the physical system. By the ability of deep observation, physical system ceases; and in involuntary consciousness, they would know purpose of their life. With commitment coming from the within, their un-restrained desires pull the physical system's energy to do something, they really want. Bill Gates is famous for creating various technologies of information system. That means he knew this purpose in his life better than many others. Edison did what he wanted. Every creator is like him. In Vedic language, people who discover systems, know-how or products (like Bill Gates, Edison, and Madonna) are called deities or 'dev' or 'devta' in Sanskrit. Deities are personification of certain body of knowledge e.g., physics, chemistry, information system, sex, economics. Idea realized in involuntary consciousness takes its form. This is not a reaction. And thus, every materialization of products or systems in this way, is desire oriented (of their own), and not customer oriented. As a byproduct of their research, things unknown before come to exist that benefit millions of people who never expected these. Customer oriented thinkers, technologists and businessmen respond to markets to fulfill their own economic goals and known for intuition about economic sub-systems. In Patanjali Yoga Sutra's Vibhuti Pada, this achievement of human thoughts in the physical system is called Vibhuti or dust of knowledge. Miracles of Tibetan monks or flying on aero-plane or TV, all seem supernatural in the first instance. Similarly, sun, earth and moon are natural deities regulating biological system. Each of these deities (man-made or natural) wants something in return to be able to sustain their activities, or else become harmful. This is their trap of system or a cycle of cause and effects, to be fulfilled. Science answers a connection of economic and natural calamities by failing of certain systems. In principle, all systems and products are a result of formation of desires in physical system. On the other hand, realization of the formless or detachment from desires becomes knowledge or the achievement of yoga. That is why Einstein and Newton were unable to create new system or products in the physical system. They were only known for their path to 'absolute freedom' by increased understanding of the nature of physical system. Life is a miraculous experiment in the hand of every observer. Actions of life into physical system give an impression of birth and death. Every observer creates universe by the actions of his own. Desires cause alternation between voluntary and involuntary consciousness. Sleep is state of involuntary consciousness when information senses are absent. Just like sleeping, waking up in the morning, is equally involuntary. Similarly, the system of life and death is identical to sleeping and awakening, that keeps running till nothing remains unexpected or till all desires are removed. Psychology is not yoga. Psychology is a system like other sciences which is a product of yoga. Yoga is incommunicable as it ceases any movement of thoughts and actions; whereas psychology is a physical science that interprets cause and effect cycles in management of memory and behavior. Systems or sciences are like network of road maps and don't give direction or morals. Immanuel Kant's work 'The Critique of Pure Reason' describes differences in roadmaps of science (sensuous intuition) and of the only path of pure reason. 1.7 Terminal knowledge, sea of pure consciousness or perfect contentment Consciousness (or universal knowledge) is pure reason absolutely free from empiricism or sensory reason. When consciousness fluctuates, it manifests in physical system. When the consciousness has taken a form, it also has physical properties. The process of understanding the physical system using sensory tools of life is local consciousness called intelligence. Life is unstable and the system it creates is called physical system. Intelligence (comprising of memory, measurement and reasons) is an empirical reason and results are verifiable in physical system. All movements are an effect of ignorance or error in knowing. The re-works or movement is like waves in sea that rise and fall by a certain laws of nature. All things in physical system are bound securely by consciousness. When a stone is thrown up, there is a law (sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is equal) that keeps the balance of the stone at every point across its flight path. This law is consciousness of the stone that assumes different values in a mathematical relationship at different points of its flight path. A location of stone is thus determined by space (x, y,z) and time (t) and local consciousness (mathematical relationship). Life forms are governed at every movement by the universal knowledge. It cannot deviate from the path because of the intelligence or local consciousness. The observer and observed are united because the universal knowledge governing them is impartial. Knowing this eliminates the intelligence and ceases all movement. Life is immersed in universal laws of the nature from where it took its form. Knowing the universal law is about knowing the god. This awareness brings pure contentment. Newton discovered certain laws of motion. These laws existed universally, and operate the physical system. In a way, Newton is a saint who is ready to spend his life for discovering the 'invisible' god. Newton is not so careful with material because he knows every material (including him). Acquiring knowledge brings a transformation into the life. Various inventions of sciences are merely a byproduct. Jesus Christ, Buddha, Krishna are pure observers who don't need to have physical forms or life, indefinitely. In Alaska, tourists make different sculpture of ice. The sculptures look like a building, fish, human faces etc.. The sculptures are free to have their own intelligence but only during the period it retains that physical shape. After the life is complete, snow melts and the sculpture is gone back to the water. The identity of sculptures is none except the water. Life and death is similar phenomena of universal knowledge. 1.8 Conclusion: Techniques of knowledge (EDISK) The theory of knowledge in based on the discrimination between nature of the physical system and the observer. This is 'top down' journey using three levels of example. First is 'yogic', e.g., Krishna, Patanjali, Jesus and Buddha; second is 'computational' e.g., Albert Einstein and Newton, and third 'creative' e.g. Bill Gates, Edison. Goal of knowledge is to understand the cause of movement, idea of life, universal chaos, and process of re-organizing the chaos by systems, products and know-how.
Experience, observation, or cause of movements: Experience is sensory feelings. All feelings such as inquiry, problem, fear, pains, pleasure, compromise, success and failures only suggest recognition of something unexpected. On the other hand, a thing when unrecognized by absence of the desire is not experience. Experience is not transferable from one person to another and is endless. Experiences are feedback from a chaos or disturbance in the universe of physical or observed systems caused by the instability of the observer itself. Data (specificity and measurement): Data is means of measuring the experiences. Numbers, symbols, words, standards are building blocks of knowledge or cognitive material for reasoning. Data is not seen or sensed by physical system, and is a result of the observation. Intelligence is art of association between physical things with cognitive fixation (memory). Intelligence is creation of memory. The memory is cognitive material used in thinking/reasoning. Data is output of intelligence that has no physical existence and thus is not constrained by the physical system. Data is discrimination or precision of experiences. Data is a generic standard for communication of memory and can be transferred from one to another. Information (decision enabler): Information is a decision enabler. 'In' formation = whether or not, to form. When data is sufficient for an observer for deciding an appropriate reaction, this becomes information. Information can be transferred across people and is understood. Know-how, products and ideas are created by the information. Information is not achieved without a decision to act or relief from action. TV News is only a data and not information, but a purchase order to a salesman is information. Take a simple example of drinking tea. The taste of tea is 'experience'. This experience of taste cannot be transferred to another person sitting in some other country. If person sitting at other place wants to have the original experience of taste of the tea, it needs sufficient 'data' about the tea brand, water quality, proportion, boiling parameters etc. The 'data' sufficient enough to enable the decision of forming the tea and drink it for the original taste is 'information'. The way, tea was made in example, companies transfer drawings and specification of technology and able to re-produce automobile, food, machines in different parts of the land with local materials. Transfer of information is easier than transporting materials and people. By virtue of transfer of information, quality of re-production is assured and brands are built by re-creation of original experiences. Processes of knowledge can manipulate physical system and is able to transfer experience of one person to another through physical and logical products. Individuals mastering the ability to convert experience into data, data into information can set themselves free from clutches of the physical systems and can create situations of desirable experiences. Information (whether to form or not) is of two types. First, it is the force of creation or materialization that can produce all sorts of physical or logical products and other manmade systems, for satisfying the desires. Work of James Watt, Thomas Alva Edison and Bill Gates are the evidences. Second, it is the realization of formlessness or dematerialization by the awareness of higher levels of the freedom (knowledge) that eliminates the desires itself. Examples are the work of Newton, Albert Einstein and Buddha who never found the use of inventing things. System (road map of cause and effects): System is endless movement of cause and effect cycles. Understanding of system comes with study of consequences of consequence of information. System is like a road map or a railway network; whereas information is individual's decision where to go. A system cannot decide (which is a property of information) but it can always predict every consequence of cause and effects. With information you can plan, and with system you predict. Physics, chemistry, biology are examples of physical system. With awareness of various systems, people can move from one system to another to realize higher levels of the freedoms. Levels of freedom are the reason for the difference in size of the loops and hierarchy in the systems. When a system is known, expectations (also called desires) are removed, and need of decision is eliminated. The discrimination between information and system exposes the cause of experiences of pleasure and pains. With end of decisions, the confidence in system is absolute and it achieves knowledge or perfect contentment. By ceasing of the reaction, system stops and conviction in pure reason realizes the knowledge. Bibliography: 1. Bhagwat Gita 2.
