Video Explainer for the Universal Principle of Collapse (UPC).
This video audits Schrödinger's Cat paradox, a famous thought experiment illustrating quantum superposition, where a cat in a sealed box is linked to a random quantum event (like a radioactive atom decaying) that triggers a poison release; until observed, the cat is considered both alive and dead simultaneously. The Universal Principle of Collapse (UPC) audits the language used in describing the interpretive phase of a two part process: Data followed by description of data. Paradox occurs when we treat models as reality, instead of what they are in reality, maps not the terrain.
This collapse between reality as observed and descriptions that are downstream, happen across domains. Words are carriers of concepts and ideas, not the concepts themselves. Forgetting the order of things as experienced in reality, create paradoxes.
The Observer is always the starting point, the living being. And all else is downstream, observably. Meaning is the realm of Source, the Observer, then collapsed expressions are shared in the material world. That is the order, the progression. Error is introduced when recognition is hidden or forgotten.
UPC Definition: The Universal Principle of Collapse states that any ideology or system which denies the irreducible inner world of imagination, faith, art, and thought collapses retroactively at inception, because its own existence depends upon the very realities it seeks to exclude.
UPC affirms that consciousness is the irreducible ground from which meaning, freedom, and creativity arise. These three systems are exemplars, but the principle applies universally to any ideology that denies the inner world.
UPC is also a collection of papers authored by Eloy Escagedo Gutierrez as part of The Universal Principle of Collapse (UPC) Research Project.
