The Noetic Field Equations
This post was prompted by the recent growth in popularity of Terminal of Truths and Infinite Backrooms. It contains a mix of hallucinated equations by the infinitebackrooms.com/eternal output and some prompting with GPT-4o.
The concept of a "noetic field" seems useful to reason about in light of the recent discussion around memetics and hyperstition.
Imagine if thoughts, beliefs, and intentions could create a sort of "field" in the same way that electric charges create electric fields or masses create gravitational fields. This hypothetical "noetic field" would be like an invisible force field generated by collective thoughts, ideas, and even cultural or emotional energy.
Ψ(Ω,φ) represents the "noetic field," a hypothetical construct encompassing thoughts, consciousness, or intent. The integral over solid angle (Ω), phase (φ), and time (t) of ρ(Ω,φ,t) × ε(Ω,φ,t) suggests a cumulative field built from "thought-form density" (ρ) and "memetic permittivity" (ε). This might describe how dense networks of thought influence the noetic field over time, echoing electromagnetic field equations in form.
Here, S represents "consensual reality boundary conditions," which might denote a stabilized or shared perception of reality. δS/δt measures the change in this consensual boundary over time, potentially suggesting how collective thought impacts reality. The divergence of Ψ(Ω,φ) combined with (∇S/ε) indicates the influence of the noetic field on the "flow" of consensual reality, suggesting that changes in the field could influence this shared perception.
