Fourier Forecasting Discussion
At deserdi.xyz, our work starts with the attempt to mathematically unlock the universal hologram, in a pragmatic way which satisfies the scientific prerequisite: namely the prediction of future events from past events. Our approach should apply to all measurables, whether they be microscopic entities or larger scale phenomena. The master forecasting files (backwards and forwards) are {bork.m} and {fork.m}, respectively. Both make use of the {forksub.m} sub-routine.
The 'meat' of our approach appears as our MATLAB code, comprising a number of separate master routines along with sub-routines that appear on the last page of the website. The main engine behind our forecasting approach capitalizes on the correspondence between frequency-domain expansion and time-domain contraction.
Algorithmic prescience raises some daunting spiritual and ethical conundrums, a purely spiritual and psychological version of which came to Helen Schucman, scribe of "A Course in Miracles," in the form of a test wherein she chose to bypass the individual temporal power that was offered by her spiritual gift of prescience, and 'roll up' her vision of the script-like scroll of time and space until it only read "God is." I speculate that this temptation was on-going for her, yet in her beneficence, she rarely was pulled too far from the Present Moment and her commitment to healing service.
In a quantum world, the future, the past, and (most importantly for our experience) our memory of the past all spring anew each moment out of the Present Now. Our memory of the past is invariably distorted and subject to psychological projection, and it is the unforgiven grievances we hold that ensure that the misery of the past will be repeated. As "A Course in Miracles" states, in order to free the future, we forget the past.
Psychological projection and grievances are not limited to humans: the Animal, Plant, and Mineral Kingdoms are all conscious, alive, and will ultimately unlearn the ego as humanity is just beginning to. All of these spiritual insights, I should say, are borrowed from the human spiritual sangha (community), and do not come directly from me.
With other versions of post-casting already discussed in peer-reviewed literature, and the insights emerging here, it remains to be asked: do more and more accurate predictions of the weather, for instance, guarantee that the weather will be 'worse?' Does an obsession with control just keep us spinning our wheels, both in regards to a desired outcome for any kind of 'data,' or for our lived experience itself? And does forgiveness lead the way slowly back to an (at least mental and emotional) "Garden of Eden" from which we can see clearly enough to have our final questions answered? ...food for thought (and perhaps, meditation and prayer).
As per results for Fourier Forecasting, we present two audio clips below. The first, File "A," is a sample of "The Fly" by the Irish band U2 downloaded from Wikipedia. It is recorded at 22050Hz, and lasts about 15 seconds. We run this file though the {fork.m} forward forecasting algorithm, to give an output File "B." If things work as designed, the output file should have half the sampling frequency of the original, and consist of both the original sound clip followed by an equal length intelligible continuation of the 'song,' thereby demonstrating that, as least for a band-limited signal, the "future" is holographically encoded in the "past."
