I'm a musician, a philosopher, and a computer programmer.

I have seen the face of God, and I have received knowledge, known as The Perennial Philosophy. My vision of The Perennial Philosophy uses computer simulations of monads to solve the Grand Unification problem of physics.

Take Judaism and Taoism as two examples of the Perennial Philosophy in history. The symbols of both traditions are the Star of David and Yin and Yang, and each symbol is made of two equal but opposite shapes intersecting. The symbols stand for the relationship between the Absolute and Relative ways of the world:

In other words, there is a hierarchy of the real. The manifold world of our everyday experience is real with a relative reality that is, on its own level, unquestionable; but this relative reality has its being within and because of the absolute Reality, which, on account of the incommensurable otherness of its eternal nature, we can never hope to describe, even though it is possible for us to directly apprehend it. ^[1]

This is knowledge that has been known for thousands of years. What I bring to the table is a new piece. How to take this Perennial Philosophy, and build a physics model.

After years and years of research, I can tell you roughly how that is done.

A computer simulation creates "monads" and then manipulates them. Monads are absolute matter. They are not the physical objects made of relative matter in our everyday experience.

The trick is to get the monads to arrange into something similar to nuclei, atoms, molecules, cells, and organisms like a human being.

If something like a human being exists in the monads, then something like sense organs and a brain exists in the monads. The physical space, time, and matter emerges from the relational information encoded in the brain-like compound of an observer.

That sounds like a radical proposal, but I am by no means alone:

Physical reality begins and ends with the animal observer. ^[2]

Stay tuned, as my research, at 6 years old, is really just beginning.
