Maths could help humans find a 'deeper reality' to solve global problems.
Published on 25 May, 2011
Researchers suggest we could find common ground on complex global issues such as financial systems and climate change, through a mathematical principle that everyone can trust - prime integer relations.
They say integers can be trusted because they provide an irreducible foundation as the ‘ultimate building blocks' for relationships realised through the prime integer relations. These prime integer relations can also self-organise to create a harmonious hierarchical network managed by the single ‘force' of arithmetic revealing a higher collective purpose and a source of laws to achieve different objectives.
The researchers go one step further to speculate about the existence of a Super Intelligence that ‘thinks well' to produce the integers and say humans could become part of this Super Intelligence by consciously operating in this deeper reality.
Husband and wife team Victor and Galina Korotkikh are former Russian scholars now working from the Mackay Campus of CQUniversity Mackay.
They have published their suggestions as a general physics paper to be presented at the Eighth International Conference on Complex Systems in Boston on June 26-July 1.
