Abstract

The issue of forces, the dimensional universal constants, their dimensionless components, marked by the constant ratio of spiral generation, Φ, the golden ratio (1.618), and the feasible existence of a universal principle, are again addressed. As described in earlier articles, Φ is a dimensionless component or feature of most, if not all, of the respective physical, dimensional universal constants. In this rendition, the subject is further elucidated, focusing on various physical theories and their suggested unity through Φ. In this context, the subject is further developed from various perspectives, including epistemological, which serves to bring about more, perhaps deeper insights on the situation. As pointed out, with the exception of the Special Theory of Relativity, and the early stages of quantum mechanics during the early 20th century, modern physical theories have not focused explicitly on any of the dimensional universal constants as center pieces of their theories. With regard to those universal constants, focusing on their dimensionless components, further clarification is intended and illustrated in this article, such as pertaining to wave mechanics and string theory, and their relation to the universal constants. In doing so, one discusses basic questions. Could such universal constants have been proposed or predicted in a physical theory before they were discovered through experiment? Also, can experiments be devised that indicate the feasible existence of a universal principle of completion connected to or executed through the universal constants, that is, through their dimensionless or trans-dimensional features? Can such a principle involve or implicate a deeper ultra-reality of universals? Does such a principle indicate an unfolding of reality, a developmental process, a temporal directionality? In this article, the relevancy of such universal constants, their dimensionless features, marked by Φ, to programmed computer simulations are also shown. These are tangible, visible figures on a computer screen that involve vortical, fractal features, which are connected to Φ and to other dimensionless constants. These are creations due to the human mind's involvement with the mathematical design of computer processes that represent reality. These computer generated figures of developing vortical features, displayed on a computer screen, may be mirrored in a vortical, developing reality of matter-energy and in the higher-ordered morphologies of organisms. In this connection, based on research, the function of the human brain, and by extension, the mind, appears to be dependent on the anatomical presence of the dimensionless biological constant Φ, the golden ratio. What becomes clear throughout this article, while repeatedly addressing Φ and other dimensionless constants, and referring to various, possibly united, scientific approaches via Φ, is the subtle indication of a universal causation throughout various, natural phenomena on all scales. Such phenomena and their causation, it is feasibly theorized, would be generated, supported, and guided vortically, completely, stably and developmentally by means of the universal constants through their dimensionless features or components, such as Φ and its powers. The various or specific phenomena, or the theories pertaining to such, are thus unified in this manner via Φ. This process of vortical regeneration involving completing forces would occur along with the support of other dimensionless constants such as π and the exponential constant, e. A non-relative, temporal directionality, a guided unfolding, via a guided completion through the universal constants, would be manifest via such a regeneration of completion. In that context, randomness becomes a limiting case, and perhaps, has been, at best, a constructive illusion in the history of science.
