Default Creativity and empiricism

Throughout nature there is a balance between order and disorder so
from this perspective it is always easier to research natural
phenomena as opposed to the empirical approach which seeks laws,rules
or order to nature as though it were a machine when observations and
experience,and especially in evolutionary sciences, dictate
otherwise.Nothing is more powerful or satisfying than when an old
perspective gives way to an entirely different picture,the shift from
geocentric astronomy to the Earth's planetary being one of
them,evolutionary geology being another in tandem with the fossil
record but these massive shifts were possible because the obliterated
overheated and contrived reasoning and allowed a more streamlined and
common sense answer to observations.

The first mathematical encounter with a balance between order and
disorder is arithmetical as the sequence of numbers in the Phi and Pi
proportions are neither random or ordered yet contain geometrical
information seen throughout nature -

The recent breakthrough,at least as I see it,was a totally geometric
expression of the random/ordered balance in the form of Penrose tiling
first and then quasicrystals later as they are found and grow in a
real setting as opposed to being just a mathematical curiosity.Like
all forms which contain the Phi proportion,the balance between beauty
and natural efficiency has resonated with genuinely interested people
as opposed to the current atmosphere which lacks any hint of an
underlying balance and tries to treat nature like a machine that is
running down and spluttering to an end.

Quasicrystals an their antecedents on the plane ;Penrose tiling are
different to the Phi related forms in biology insofar as they grow to
an indeterminate limit like a geometrical form of the non periodic Phi
and Pi values and this is where those of a religious or intuitive
intelligence spots the connection between the Universal and the
local.The growth patterns of quasicrystals are local but follow a
Universal pattern hence one feeds into the other but to what end do
these patterns tend just as all the other natural phi forms do ?.

I discovered through a very old representation (it does not originate
with me) that contains both hexagonal and pentagonal features, and
although I cannot reproduce the representation in a format suitable
for the Usenet,I left a representation on Wikipedia showing where the
angles of Penrose tiles/quasicrystals point towards a unique geometry
-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Quasicrystal

The one copyright I have ,and I regret taking it out in 1990,was an
expression of this representation in terms of volume/density ratios in
order to represent 3 dimensions within a parent or prime dimension
hence 'E Pluribus Unum',of course this travels in the opposite
direction of empiricism which invests additional dimensions to natural
phenomena.The fact is that in 1994 when the images of Sn1987a
emerged,and this supernova event reflects a process where volume/
density ratios are a priority,they traced an idealistic representation
of a prime dimension with 432 degrees at its core by way of two large
external rings and a smaller intersecting ring.

There is so many visual things to discuss and consider and while
empiricists may suffocate the attempt to interpret visual data by
invoking unseen particles and forces and giving them priority,people
should become involved with all the visual data popping up all over
the place and moving information around as it is the creative thing to
do.
