X-Message-Number: 4122 Date: 01 Apr 95 13:29:17 EST From: yvan Bozzonetti <> Subject: SCI.CRYONICS:Discovering perpetual motion of the 3rd kind I write that on April fool day and hope to be taken seriously after some tens of years at least. Thermodynamics rests on 3 laws: 1/ Energy conservation,2/ Entropy expansion and 3/ Zero entropy at zero kelvin for crystaline matter.When you drop one of these law, you can conceive a perpetual motion machine. The law number gives the motion kind. First I remark ultimate data compression produce a random bit string, that is a closed systen in thermodynamical equilibrium. Deciphering the compressed data produces a longer bit set with some redundancies, that is, a closed system out of balance able to do some work on an outside element. A brain is a computing machine, computing can be done without energy expanse, at least in theory, so a brain can put a system out of thermodynamical equilibrium without energy input, that is perpetual motion. Next I look at the kind of perpetual motion: A neuron is topologically equivalent to a projective plane. All nonorientable spaces can be built from glued projective planes, so a brain is a big dimensional nonorientable space. The orientability topological property is so a tag to distinguish two spaces: The ordinary, orientable, one with few dimensions and the hyperdimensional nonorientable brain space. The closed system seen by entropy is the sum of the two spaces, so entropy will spill in all dimensions of the brain space, that reduce its amount localized in the orientable space. Brain computation works by entropy dillution in many dimensions. A brain will so move the zero reference entropy in oriented space, it is a perpetual motion machine of the third kind. Now I explain what I call a brain: It is any collection of projective planes in interaction. Example: In physics, electromagnetism fuzes with weak nuclear force at 90 Gev energy, that is 10^-15 cm. The resulting SU(2) symetry withstands until some 10 000 Planck's units of length ( One Planck's unit = 10^-33 cm). A virtual radiation produced at 10^-29 cm will see near one billion (10^9) different directions, one for each squared Planck's unit on a sphere with radius R = 10 000 PU. This is a realization of the projective plane (see any topological book for a longer description). So, the limit of SU(2) symetry forms a superbrain structure. The U(1)-SU(2) transition at 90 Gev gives another 10^11 times larger. If the superstring modular symetry is used on that second brain, it will create a 3rd similar structure 10^11 times larger at the micron lever. A good guessing of the length of a biological neuron for such a rough calculation. I see biological neuron as a resonance induced by modular symetry on the transition between electromagnetism and the electroweak domain. My problem is how to reverse engineer that symetry to control brain 2 computing from an artificial brain 3 level. That would give prodigious possibilities in the thermodynamical domain. First, all irreversible transitions would become reversible. Must I say more about applications in cryonics? Yvan Bozzonetti. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4122
