OK, I subscribed; sounds interesting. Only other person I was on phenomenal-noumenal discussion levels with is my old professorial integrated science colleague who's back in Boston. Have you ever read about Karl Bohm's book "Wholeness and the Implicate Order"? I say read about because the body of the book is pretty heavy mathematical physics, quantum theory. (And of course, I don't assume that you might not have competence; indeed you might.) But in the appendix, if I recall, he presents the concept in simpler terms -- an implicate order on the quantum level with properties that don't allow certainty. For example, there's no telling whether an electron you detect in one location is the same electron observed later in a new location because electrons come and go from the implicate [the noumenal] to become explicated when observed in the phenomenal (apparently not a violation of the theory). But with the probabilistic nature of quantum theory and the fact that the observation itself impacts the event, the possibilities are mind blowing. Naturally, Professor Bohm, a Nobel laureate in physics, swallowed molta merda from his esteemed colleagues at the end of his life. Sadly.
I thought the Italian Wolf might have been you, thanks for subscribing! Mine is a VERY wide ranging blog from Ultimate Reality to Socio-Spirituality to GeoPolitics to Where Are the Women? But I know I've see you on more than one comment thread so we share several interests.
I love the title of Bohm's book, and you're welcome to assume I have no competence in mathematical physics--I can barely spell it! I haven't read about his work but I know the sometimes-a-wave, sometimes-a-particle research. And I do think there's an important clue there to whether the world exists in our (shared) Mind or if our (separate) minds exist in the world.
