Physical phenomena as sense determinate occurrences

Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2005, vol. 24, issue 1, 7-12

Abstract: In the view of El Naschie’s E Infinity theory [Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 22 (2004) 495], our physical laws emerge from a chaotic underground, a ‘Dirac-sea’. But we have no direct access from our observations to this chaotic world and this implies that the meaning of the correspondence between the phenomena we obtain by our cognition and their causal structures remains hidden to us. The fundamental process which produces our cognition is the ‘constitution of sense’. A formal description of this process will be presented. We use Dempster Shafer’s belief calculus to define ‘belief’ and motivate an Anticipation Principle: ‘Put the measurements obtained from the world in such an order that the credibility of your forecasts will be maximized.’
