The Metaphysics of WSM
The Human problem of spacial understanding is that we still, most often, use subjective (finite) logic to describe an objective (infinite) wholeness.
This is where such purely Human concepts as 'Time' will break down. 'Time' needs two subjective points to measure from, or between, but in Infinite Space this concept has no relevance. The same with 'direction' and even 'distance'. All things become One Thing, and therefore the fine Human art of measurement also breaks down.
Understanding how Infinite Logic becomes finite logic, and vice-versa, will be the 'bridge' that joins us with realistic (whole/Spacial) thinking. And we can do this, because we are also products of the two-fold necessary way of existence; the finite within the Infinite.
Our personal dilemma is that we must reverse, or invert, our own adopted and subjective 'logic', or finite roots of understanding, to then perceive the wider Infinite truth. This is why WSM is necessarily concerned not just with physics, but with metaphysics and philosophy also. These are necessary components to understanding the Reality that all things manifest within and from. By definition, the more we understand, the less 'myth' we will need to explain what was previously unknown.
The Metaphysics of WSM essentially describes the process of how the 'beyond-physical' (wave-structure) of Infinite Space becomes the physical, finite things of existence that we observe (sense).
All things are Space, as Space is the One thing that exists, but the parts we observe are the effects of the movement (motion) inherent of Infinite Space. You will hear reference to the 'Holographic' Universe (Bohm), the 'illusion', or 'Maya' of Hindu mythology, also the 'Tao', and further, the 'Zen' and 'Non-existent existent'! - however, these are all but approximate intuitions of the same necessary conclusions that the WSM draws. Now, with the aid of Milo Wolff's ground-breaking work, we become less 'approximate' and more precise with our understanding, which is surely the goal of Science, if ever there was one!
According to WSM, as the unseen Reality behind all things, 'Spirit' is also an approximate description of the same thing. And here we can clearly see how the Ancient and Indigenous cultures perceive 'Spirit(s)' in all things, and that the 'Great Spirit' is therefore the approximate description for Infinite Space.
WSM is the essence of all things; the fundamental that 'animates'.
['Animation' is 'motion', and Space is all motion, always in a state of perpetual movement (vibration), and so the whole of existence is 'animated'. It would be clearer to distinguish 'Life' as we currently describe it, as actually 'Organic Life', or even 'Organic Motion'! - which retains the Realistic theme of One Thing, and negates the confusion of 'animate Vs. inanimate' Life (currently perceived as separate things).]
| Quote: | | The first philosophy (Metaphysics) is universal and is exclusively concerned with primary substance. ... And here we will have the science to study that which is just as that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which, just as a thing that is, it has. (Aristotle, Metaphysics, 340BC) |
| Quote: | | We may agree, perhaps, to understand by Metaphysics an attempt to know reality as against mere appearance, or the study of first principles or ultimate truths, or again the effort to comprehend the universe, not simply piecemeal or by fragments, but somehow as a whole. (Bradley, 1846-1924) |
| Quote: | | By his clear critique Hume did not only advance philosophy in a decisive way but also - though through no fault of his - created a danger for philosophy in that, following his critique, a fateful 'fear of metaphysics' arose which has come to be a malady of contemporary empiricist philosophising; this malady is the counterpart to that earlier philosophising in the clouds, which thought it could neglect and dispense with what was given by the senses. ... It finally turns out that one can, after all, not get along without metaphysics. (Albert Einstein, Remarks on Bertrand Russell's Theory of Knowledge) |
| Quote: | | "The idea of returning and outgoing spirits [in/out waves] ...only differentiates the expanding and the contracting phase of the underlying life energy. These are the ebb and flow in the great ocean of life." (I Ching - Richard Wilhelm translation, p.295) |
| Quote: | | "These two cardinal principles of all existence [in/out waves] are then symbolised in the two fundamental hexagrams of the Book of Changes, THE CREATIVE(out) AND THE RECEPTIVE(in). In the last analysis, this cannot be called a dualism. The two principles are united by a relation based on homogeneity; they do not combat, but compliment each other. The difference in level creates a potential, as it were, by virtue of which movement and living expression of energy become possible". (I Ching - Richard Wilhelm translation, p.281/2) |

HI Steve,
You know how much I appreciate your contributions - so thanks for the above.
I would like though, that the first post is as short / concise as possible as a pure summary of the knowledge.
So the metaphysics of WSM should start with a statement as to what the metaphysics is founded on.
Then it could address how this is different than current physics.
How this dynamic unity of reality then solves the problems of metaphysics (physics, philosophy, by understanding necessary connection).
At the moment it starts with a discussion that really belongs at the top of the second post - that discusses the summary.
A couple of website pages that might also help.

http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Metaphysics-Space-Motion.htm
http://www.spaceandmotion.com/metaphysics-dynamic-unity-reality.htm
The challenge is to explain as much as possible as simply as possible, in a way that is psychologically appealing to humans (appeal to common sense is a good start - since we all commonly sense existing in Space).
Thanks and good luck.
