The Reflexive Universe : Evolution of Consciousness

Arthur M. Young

Arthur Young conceived of The Geometry of Meaning as an essay in philosophy, but philosophy in the older sense, encompassing the natural sciences, exploring the implications of science, and dealing with the relationship of the knower and the known. At the heart of this book is what he called the "Rosetta Stone of meaning," a diagram of relationships based upon the twelve measure formulae of modern physics, which he used to describe the interaction of mind with matter.

The Bell Notes : A Journey from Physics to Metaphysics

Which Way Out? is a selection of thirteen essays by Arthur Young. The volume includes, Which Way Out?, Modern Idolatry, Toward a Life Science, Crossing the Psychic Sea, Where is God?, Time to Go Home, The Queen and Mr. Russell, Rotation, the Neglected Invariant, A Formalism For Philosophy, The Mind-Body Problem,Constraint and Freedom: An Ontology Based on the Study of Dimension, The Brain Scale of Dr. Brunler and A Letter to Dean Robert J. Jahn.

Eric Schroeder (1904-1971) was for many years a curator of Near Eastern art at the Fogg Museum, Boston, had traveled in Persia, and had been a student of Coomaraswamy, the nonpareil of symbolism. He was also author of Muhammed's People, a sympathetic and insightful account of a people form whom symbols are part of their lifeblood

Science & Math

History & Philosophy

This essay summarizes the thesis convincingly spelled out in Arthur Young's The Reflexive Universe and The Geometry of Meaning. The realization that something is lacking in the scientific world view is widespread, but most critics fall back on generalizations. Young's targeting is precise, his evidence detailed. Science, he demonstrates has failed to grasp the fundamental organizing role of the quantum of action, or photon, which has the measure formula of angular momentum and governs the countless cycles of actions through which cosmos and consciousness evolve. Examining contributions from Planck and Heisenberg, from Bateson, Bohm and Szent-Gyorgyi, Young provides an overview of the effects of quantum physics and the consciousness movement on the history of science.

The Foundations of Science, The Missing Parameter

Science and Astrology is not an attempt to define or explain the zodiac or the formulae of physics but is an examination of the common foundation shared by both, an examination that holds regardless of the use or abuse of either. Of course, in our day and age, astrology wears the disguise of the bawdy courtesan, but there remains a solid basis in first principles. While founded on intuitive insight, these principles can be shown to correlate to those on which the measure formulae, the time-tested vocabulary of physical science, is based. Indeed, this correlation makes possible the hope, expressed in 1954 by L.L. Whyte in "The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science," that the measure formulae should be expressed in terms of angle. Young also shows their applicability to life and evolution.

Science and Astrology; The Relationship Between the Measure Formulae and the Zodiac

According to Andrei Berezin of the Institute for Theoretical Problems in Moscow, Arthur Young's work "ranks alongside the achievements of the world's greatest thinkers." Young has not only laid the basis for a cosmology which accounts for freedom, action and control in the formulations of physics, but, while developing this remarkable body of work, has pointed out that science is disconnected from reality. Though it purports to deal with a real world, science is actually limited to an ideal one. In these two essays, on the limits of mathematics and the absence of the third derivative in theoretical physics, Young confronts this limitation. He patiently objects to the phantasm of modern mathematical theory and brilliantly reveals the positive contribution of the third derivative. Mathematics, Physics and Reality is a unique work that shows how, despite historical advances, "the errors and misconceptions of science" keep it from dealing with life.
