FORMATION OF THE OBJECT IDENTIFICATION ZONE WITH LASER INFORMATION-MEASURING SYSTEMS AT SHORT DISTANCES

The optimization of the methods for the formation of the spatial-energy distribution of the probing radiation power and the processing the receiving signal by the locating laser information-measuring systems (LIMS), taking into account the spatial-temporal structure, is carried out, and the analysis of the existing methods of their processing is carried out too. An assessment of the integral criteria for the LIMS functioning when operating in conditions of interference has been made. The calculation of the parameters of the LIMS main links was carried out, taking into account the correlation between the resolution of the optical system and the capabilities of object detection, recognition and classification. A method was developed for the formation of the probing radiation density distribution and the receiving signal processing, taking into account its space-time structure, which made it possible to determine the optimal duration of the laser probe pulse. The determined duration makes it possible to eliminate errors in measuring the parameters of an object's movement under the influence of a combination of destabilizing factors and a lack of signal processing time, which will ensure the accuracy of the target detection and recognition.

Structural Humility

In this article I discuss various humility theses about individuals and intrinsic properties as discussed by authors such as David Lewis. I argue that we should accept a similar humility thesis about the world’s space-time structure regardless of which metaphysics of space-time we accept. I argue this undercuts some important motivations opting in for an ontic structural realist metaphysic.

Predictive Temporal Analytics Method in Situational Modeling of the Evolution of Complex Systems

The article discusses the main characteristics of complex systems, as well as the structures, domains and interactions occurring in the course of evolution. The main properties of complex systems are defined to include openness, non-ergodicity, disequilibrium, activity and multiplicity of goals. The classification attributes are defined to include free energy, anthropic factor, incomplete observability, computational irreducibility, dominant coded interactions, dynamic structure and transformable environments. A variety of primary entities, which form complex systems, are represented by two classes, possible individuals and abstract individuals. The space-time structure as a 6D continuum is formulated; spatial and temporal vacuums and quanta of interaction are defined. The three-dimensional time is presented in terms of three orthogonal components: coordinate time, structural time and discrete time. The coordinate time corresponds to the variability of a system when individuals move in space; the structural time corresponds to the variability of a system when the structure of individuals changes; the discrete time corresponds to the variability of the system caused by informational interaction between or within individuals. A model of a one-time ideal event and a continuous event is defined. The interaction between individuals is presented through a two-way reflexive model of cyclic interaction of an actor and an acceptor. The occurrence of post-causes and post-effects of physical interactions is shown to result in unpredictable chains of effects. The essence of the predictive temporal analytics method is presented. The use of the method involves the construction of a six-dimensional hypergraph of cause-and-effect relations with subsequent analysis of a body of causes and effects. The optimal way of evolution of a system is considered a way that maximizes diversity (in terms of liberty of actions, states, goals achieved) and minimizes the energy costs in a certain time perspective.

Space‐time structure as a property derived from the operation of consciousness at the quantum-classical boundary

The space‐time is empirically perceived as a pre-existing property of the universe. However, a special kind of perception that takes place in near-death-experiences (NDEs) is challenging this idea. Here, I will illustrate how understanding of this particular state of consciousness (named the bodiless consciousness) helps us re-think the space‐time structure of the physical world. I first speculate that the bodiless consciousness perceives the physical world as nonlocal 4D. I then propose that the space‐time is a “derived” feature subsequent to the emergence of perception of the bodiless consciousness, rather than a pre-existing and unchangeable property. Next, I explain that the space structure only takes place in the classical (or macroscopic) world rather than in the quantum (or microscopic) world, due to its intrinsic imperceptibility to the bodiless consciousness. Without a presupposed structure of the space, the strangeness of the quantum world is expected. Then, I bring up the old measurement problem. I will argue that it is the bodiless consciousness that may entangle with the superposed state of an observed system and trigger the collapse. Finally, I will briefly discuss the potential relationship between electromagnetic wave and consciousness.

Gravitational waves on Earth and their warming effects

The gravity or reactive bundle energy is the outlet of the morphogenetic impact, known as “BIG BANG”, creating a bounded ordered/structured universe along with the solar system, including the EARTH-world with its human race. Post-impact, the huge kinetic energy is spread into stellar bodies associated with the light flux under strong mutual connections or gravitational bundle. Einstein’s general relativity theory including the gravitational field can be expressed under a condensed tensor formulation as E  R − Rg =  T where E defines the geometry via a curved space-time structure (R) over the gravity field (1/2Rg), embedded in a matter distribution T The fundamental (ten non-linear partial differential) equations of the gravitational field are a kind of the space-time machine using the curvature of a four-dimensional space-time to engender the gravity field carrying away material structures. Gravity according to the curved space-time theory is not seen as a gravitational force, but it manifests itself in the relativistic form of the space-time curvature needing the constancy of the light speed. But the constant light velocity makes the tidal wave/pulsating energy, a characteristic of solar energy, impossible. The Einstein’s field equation, expressed in terms of tensor formulation along with the constant light speed postulate, needs two special space-time tensors (curvature and torsion) in 4 dimensions, where for the simplicity the torsion/twist tensor is less well approximated (Bianchi identity) leading to a constant/frozen gravity (twist-free gravity).The non-zero torsion tensor plays a significant physical role in the planetary dynamics as a finest gear of a planet, where its spinning rotation is directly connected to the own work and space-time structure (or clock), controlled by light fluctuations (or tidal effect of gravity). The spin correction of Einstein’s gravitational field refers to the curvature-torsion effect coupled with fluctuating light speed. The mutual curvature-torsion bundle self-sustained by the quantum fluctuations of light speed engenders helical gravitational wave fields of a quantum nature where bodies orbit freely in the light speed field (cosmic wind). In contrast to the Einstein’s field equation describing a gravitational frozen field, a quantum tidal gravity model is proposed in the paper.

Development of space-time rainfall intensity duration frequency curves based on a multifractal approach

<p>Changing climate signals and urban populations' growth requires proper hydrologic risk analysis to create and operate water resource infrastructures in a sustainable way. Although modernized computational facilities are becoming popular to understand different complex systems, the scientific community is still behind in proper analysis of extreme rainfall events as they are erratic in time and space. To fill the existing knowledge gap, it becomes obvious to incorporate spatiotemporal rainfall variability in designing rainfall Intensity Duration Frequency (IDF) curves.  Many statistical approaches have been suggested to describe the space-time structure of rainfall; nevertheless, none of them is enough to represent, for all observational scales, the geometrical structure observed in either rainfall time series or rainfall-derived spatial fields. This research presents a more holistic approach to derive the IDF curves without losing information and (or) statistical assumptions.  This study uses such a promising notion to understand the rainfall field's space-time geometrical structure via codimension functions. The results show us the space-time structure of rainfall exhibits a dynamical scaling, and it suggests the idea of a double multifractal spectrum for representing time and space. Based on the idea of a double multifractal spectrum, IDF curves can be shifted to Intensity – Area – Frequency – Duration (IADF) curves to get a better approach for engineering and scientific purposes. Furthermore, this research suggests that changes of parameters for this approach could reflect climate-change signals and would be useful to generate non-stationary IADF curves and improve engineering design practices.</p>

LINGUISTICS OF COICIDENCES

The article maintains the general theoretical position that modern science finds itself on the verge of a new revolutionary quantum paradigm. Such a paradigmatic shift has effected changes in language scholarship too - through expanding its subject area, among other things. The paper shows that new subjects in linguistics include coincidences - pairs of events or phenomena that are close in meaning without being brought about by cause-and-effect relationships. In analytical psychology, the phenomenon is called synchronicity. The aim of the study is to solve the problem of the initial cognitive realization of the idea of coincidence in different linguistic mentalities and thereby to clarify its cognitive foundations. The onomasiological, structural-semantic and comparative analysis of words with the semantics of coincidence in the languages of different families made it possible to identify regular features that recreate a general cognitive portrait of such synchronistic thinking in Russian and, effectively, in Indo-European linguistic consciousness. It is assumed that the totality of such properties constitutes a cognitive universal. It is noteworthy that the revealed features are incompatible from the point of view of classical logic. In particular, they are as follows: “duality”, “singularity”, “causal autonomy and uncontrollability”, “belonging to a different space-time structure”. All this shows that the phenomenon conceptually defined as coincidence is deeply rooted in cognition; it carries an idea of the inner reality lying beyond the scope of human conceptual thinking. The authors sum up the results of the study in Conclusion section of the paper. In particular, it is asserted that the concept of COINCIDENCE proves extremely productive in terms of reconstructing a person’s deep-seated cognitive attitudes. Besides, coincidence is regarded as a most significant phenomenon in physical reality since it is directly related to its foundations and core principles. Finally, the revealed cognitive characteristics of the COINCIDENCE concept allow us to draw cautious conclusions regarding the proximity of the phenomenon of coincidence to the special type of reality defined as quantum reality in physics. Considering coincidences from this point of view provides a unique research perspective.
