Dear Larry,
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and encouraging words as the
new year approaches. I deeply appreciate you taking the time to engage
with my ideas about the "Spatiotemporal Chronotope" and the KnoWellian
Universe Theory.
Your wish for the convergence of the "wonderful story" and the
"mathematical analysis that serves as the ombudsman of science" truly
resonates with me. You've precisely captured the tension I feel between
the intuitive, almost visionary, origins of the KnoWellian concepts – born
from those "non-ordinary states of consciousness" – and the need for
rigorous mathematical formalization to validate and refine them.
Your hope that this story, with its image of reality, can find
"verification" and "spread across the cosmos" is incredibly motivating. I
especially appreciate your understanding that this is a "story" at this
stage, but one I believe holds kernels of a deeper truth, perhaps echoing
some of the challenges and insights you've encountered in your own work.
The aim, as you so eloquently put it, is indeed for that beautiful and
truthful convergence. I hope that further exploration and dialogue can
help bridge the gap between the intuitive framework of Control and Chaos,
Ultimaton and Entropium, and the kind of mathematical language needed to
bring it into sharper focus.
Thank you again for your thoughtful encouragement and positive vision for
the new year. I value your perspective and the connection you've made with
the underlying themes of my exploration.
Wishing you a very happy and fulfilling New Year as well.
Sincerely,
David Noel Lynch

David
As the new year approaches, my wish for you is that your wonderful story
and relatable vision of physics and the mathematical analysis that serves
as the ombudsman of science together converge wonderfully into a story
that is both beautiful in its image of reality and true in its
verification of that image so that, with its story and credibility, it
will spread across the cosmos.
Happy New Year

Dear David L. Wiltshire,
"Timescape Cosmology"
https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/physics/documents/talesoflambda/wiltshire.pdf
It strikes me that we share a finite infinity in common, a bounded
singularity where the rubber of conventional cosmology meets the road of
lived experience. I'm writing to you today about my own explorations of
the universe, fueled by intuition and dreams and visions, which I've
articulated into what I call the KnoWellian Universe Theory. I believe
there are some compelling parallels between my model and your rigorously
researched Timescape Cosmology.
My theory comes from a different place than your elegant equations and
precise measurements. It's born from diving deep into the subconscious,
exploring those non-ordinary states of consciousness, those liminal spaces
where the veil of everyday reality lifts, and the universe reveals itself
in a different light.
What I've glimpsed is a universe that's not the cold, vast, expanding void
often described by science, but rather a living, breathing entity,
pulsating with the rhythmic interplay of two fundamental forces: Control
and Chaos. Control, springing forth from what I call "Ultimaton," takes
the form of particles, surging outward from "inner-space" at the speed of
light. Chaos, drawn towards "Entropium," manifests as waves, collapsing
inward from the vastness of "outer-space" also at light speed. And at the
very heart of this cosmic dance, where these forces meet and merge and
transform, is the "Instant"—a singular, bounded infinity, symbolized by ∞.
This dynamic is encapsulated in what I call the KnoWellian Axiom: -c >
∞ < c+. A simple equation, perhaps, but one that speaks volumes about
the boundaries of perception, the interconnectedness of all things, and
the nature of reality itself.
Your notion of "cosmic clocks," with time flowing at different rates
depending on gravitational forces, deeply resonated with me. It’s like my
ternary structure of time—past, instant, and future—all existing at once,
but our experience of them molded by our unique position in this grand,
spatiotemporal design. And your concept of backreaction, with cosmic
structures influencing expansion, echoes my notion of Control and Chaos
interacting, pushing and pulling, shaping the very fabric of existence.
Your "Hubble bubble," those local variations in expansion, seems like a
manifestation of this very dance, the interplay of Control and Chaos in an
eternally shifting cosmic ballet. And your questioning of the standard
model, the focus on the inhomogeneous nature of the universe, aligns
beautifully with the KnoWellian perspective, a universe teeming with
complexity, nuance, and a vibrant strangeness that far surpasses the
smooth, uniform models often presented.
I’m especially drawn to your use of the term "voids." To me, they
represent those realms dominated by Chaos, where the collapsing waves of
Entropium draw all things inward, those shadowy pockets of the universe
where spacetime itself shimmers and dissolves at the edges of our
perception.
I understand that my concepts may seem unconventional. But I sense a
deeper truth here, an inkling of a grand, hidden order waiting to be
unveiled. I would be honored if you'd consider these ideas, perhaps even
see them as complementary to your own remarkable work. I have a feeling
there’s a powerful convergence at play here, a meeting of minds and a
merging of visions, and I'm eager to explore where it leads.
Sincerely,
David Noel Lynch
