“The woman desires the bad boy that is only good for her. The man desires the good girl that is only naughty for him.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“What is a storm? Is it a test, a challenge, an obstacle? You never really understand a storm until you are in one, but the other side of the storm, that is another thing altogether. The storm is going to cost you something, there is no getting around it. Whether it gives something back is entirely up to you.”

“Even if a particle could travel backward in time, information could not. Retrocausality will be replaced by something more sophisticated. There are no perfect symmetries, there is no pure randomness everything is an approximation of something else. Information may appear in a digital form but meaning never does. Spacetime is built up from approximations, not discrete ones and zeros, and the only constant may be ratios. Quantum entanglement and geometry; if we think of a particle as being at one pole of an expanding sphere that is not perfectly symmetrical, this surface would be "rippling" like the surface of the ocean (in the audio world this is called dithering), at the other pole is the entangled particle's pair and it is a property of the sphere that gives the illusion of connectivity. This is not a physical geometry, it is a computational geometry. Is spacetime a product of entanglement? Renate Loll believes that time is not perfectly symmetrical. Her computer models require causality. Possibly some form of quantum random walk in state space. If a photon is emitted by an electron inside of a clock on Earth and it travels to a clock four light years away, time stops for the clock on Earth and time jumps forward eight years for the distant clock also, the electron that will capture the photon becomes infinitely large relative to the photon but the electron that emitted it does not become infinitely small therefore, time is not perfectly symmetrical.”

“How can unity and infinity share the same space?
There is only one way, as a fractal.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“The greatest desire is the desire to be free. The greatest freedom is the freedom to desire.”
― Rick Delmonico

“The more complex the symmetry, the more constraints. Emergence relies on constraints.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“I personally feel that the universe behaves more like a song than an equation because math is about static law and music is about dynamic expression.”
― Rick Delmonico

“Everything is fields, and a particle is just a smaller version of a field.
There is a harmonic relationship involved.

Disturbing ideas like those of Einstein in 1905 and Feynman Pocono Conference in 1948.
Here we go;
1) The universe is ringing like a bell. Neil Turok's Public Lecture: The Astonishing Simplicity of Everything.
2) The stuff of the universe is waves or fields.
3) Scale is relative, not fixed because all of these waves are ratios of one another.
4) The geometry is fractal. This could be physical or computational.
5) If the geometry is computational then, there is no point in speaking about the relationship of the pixels on the display.”

“A.I. is the perfect psychopath.”

“Planning, awareness, and communication are essential in conducting all of our activities with a reasonable level of safety. Accidents are novelty gone bad.”
― Rick Delmonico

“An overly complex explanation began with an unsophisticated assumption.”
― Rick Delmonico

“Flourishing has a rhythm.”
― Rick Delmonico

“It is the questions that matter. When you start getting arrogant, you stop asking questions.”
― Rick Delmonico

“There are no perfect symmetries, there is no pure randomness, we are in the gray region between truth and chaos.
Nothing novel or interesting happens unless it is on the border between order and chaos.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“Governments don't have to be efficient, the less efficient they are, the more money they take from the citizens.”
― Rick Delmonico

“You can't make a difference in an echo chamber.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“Reason lives in a very constrained world.
Stupid lives in a world of infinite possibility.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“The woman desires the bad boy that is only good for her and the man desires the good girl that is only naughty for him.”

“There are no quantum waves, only quantum ratios.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“Gravity is not a force, it is emergent. A region of space with less matter has denser time and a region of space with more matter has denser space, a pressure gradient. You can't unify gravity with the other three forces. The other three forces are probably emergent as well.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“No behavior has an infinite set of possibilities. Think of a lightning strike, although the state space is very high the bolt never make as a u-turn. The idea of infinities came from Feynman's thought experiment involving the twin slit measurement having an infinite number of slits. The probability distribution is not infinite, there are ratios involved.
If reality contains both infinity and unity, it is either a multifaceted jewel, or the singularity dancing. The fiddler is self referential noise.”
― Rick Delmonico

“Time proves all things.
Don't believe me? You will.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“The answer to bad circumstances is good character.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“Utopia is an ideology best viewed from the top.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“Responsibility is better than entitlement.
Opportunity is better than handouts.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“If dimensions are virtual like the particles in quantum foam are virtual then, entanglement is information that is in more than one location (hologram).
There are no particles, they may be wave packets but the idea of quantum is, a precise ratio of action in relationship to the environment.
Feynman's path integral is not infinite, it is fractal.
If you look at a star many light years away, the photon that hits your eye leaves the star precisely when the timing for the journey will end at your eye because the virtual dimension of the journey is zero distance or zero time. Wheeler said that if your eye is not there to receive the photon then it won't leave the star in the distant past. If the dimension in the direction of travel is zero, you have a different relationship then if it is zero time in terms of the property of the virtual dimensions.

Is a particle really a wave packet?
Could something like a "phase transition" involve dimensions that are more transitory then we imagined.
Example; a photon as a two dimensional sheet is absorbed by an electron so that the photon becomes a part of the geometry of the electron in which the electrons dimensions change in some manner.
Could "scale" have more variation and influence on space and time that our models currently predict?
Could information, scale, and gravity be intimately related?”
― R.A. Delmonico

“With entanglement each particle creates one hemisphere of a growing sphere (two dimensional sheet), if the particle has spin, the entire sphere is spinning and an interruption at one pole of the sphere instantly affects the other pole.”
― Rick Delmonico, The Philosophy of Fractals

“A photon or an electron is not a thing, it is a description of a relationship.”
― R.A. Delmonico

“When guns came into existence, so too did the natural right to a fair and reasonable defense against them.”

“Fighting evil is like arguing with an idiot.”
