INTEGRAL WORLD MAILING LIST http://www.integralworld.net Newsletter Nr. 649 Amsterdam, March 27th, 2017 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AQAL UNIVERSE - JOE CORBETT One can speculate that the AQAL is a Mandala of the big bang. As the universe rapidly expanded and cooled in the earliest moments of its existence, the 4 fundamental forces froze out into their present values like a crystal from the phase space of a hot dense energy soup, and from that moment forward they would serve as the quantum-fields from which Truth, Beauty, Goodness, and Justice would eventually emerge as archetypal attributes of the cosmos itself. If we are to allow that the 4 quadrants emerge from the 4 forces, then where do the 4 forces come from, and why are there 4 of them? For this we need to look at the structure of space-time itself at the plank scale. Here we could speculate that space itself is constructed out of a tetrahedral qubit (or a four-sided cubic triangle of quantum information). These tetrahedral qubits would be the fundamental pixels out of which space is constructed. The three primary qualities of particles (mass, spin, charge) might then derive from the three sides of each triangle in the tetrahedral qubit. The surfaces of the triangles on each side of the tetrahedron might contain and record other information as needed. They would also most probably be the geometric surfaces out of which the quantum-fields themselves would ultimately emerge in the hot dense phase-space of the early universe.
