The big play

“….because like also in more certain Regard and for thoughtless humans the not existing things more easily and irresponsibly by words to represent its than those be-end, then it is nevertheless for the conscientious historical writer straight in reverse: nothing extracts itself from the representation by words so much and nothing is nevertheless more necessary to place humans before eyes than certain things, whose existence is neither provable nor probable, which however evenly by the fact that conscientious humans it to a certain extent as if be-end things treat, its and the possibility of the Bearing becoming around a step to be more near led.

A play presents to you, in that Mathematics, philosophy, cybernetics, psychology and still many further Fields of knowledge flow together. A play, that as metaphor into the world and the universe is played in as many variants as it humans gives. A play, in that it winners or losers does not give and neither a beginning still another end. The play is the play. And each instant fulfills itself it.

Around an approximate conception of the complexity the play to get, try we, an imaginary board play too design (it becomes this very fast in the virtual Range of the imaginative power and even these borders come blow up - like this each metaphor, those described the here Article is dedicated, inevitably to do must):

“ Big PLAY "

1 step: If you take and put a chessboard on the first field a grain, on second two, on third four, up fourth eight and so on, you become soon on a number at grains come, which is not a country of the earth in the conditions to harvest. A metaphor for the infinity of the course possibilities with this play. Now it considers that the different function of the play figures those Possibilities and qualities of the courses still many further strengthened. However the game of chess left to the queen of the plays and the play of the kings become.

2. Step: Now present to you that the figures only on whole fields to pull, but for example 0,24 cannot Courses on the farmers are allotted, 0.35 courses to the tower and the remaining 0.41 courses on the lady. And then it presents to you that this distribution still depending upon “priority” of the individual figures along and against each other in the relationship to be set can.

This Pictures originate from my series “Chess parabolas”, in which I me among other things also with the topic described here employed.

3. Step: In the further one it presents to you that those Figures not only as whole figure to be moved can, but likewise in freely assignable parts of their power. Thus 0.4578 Springer or 0,972 Runner and tries this thought with mentioned the above in connection to bring.

4. Present a cube now to you. Each of the six Sides becomes by a chessboard, like described, in an educated manner the above and these Chessboards sit down würfelförmig this way and that by this imaginary Chessboard away. Thus a three-dimensional “chess cube”, only in the spirit or virtually representably. And now place to you a play forwards, that with all the before described differentiations “cross and crosswise " by all levels of this cube to be played can - on the right of and left, upward and down and in all diagonals.

And as the latter it considers that this for everyone Humans and each computer incomprehensible play still only is so large, like evenly a three-dimensional game of chess. Attempts you now also only to present approximately, which potenziellen dimensions (un) of conceivable , Would be as large it would have possibilities this play as a house, ours Earth, our solar system.

If you led yourself this before eyes, begin To suspect you, what is tried in sciences: The “rules” to seize and interpret a similar play. We can do those Basic Law of the effectiveness of this Play (still?) do not understand - with our current knowledge we move still being astonished on our two-dimensional “chessboard” - the earth of our realization ability resembles still the disk in the opinions of the Middle Ages. And it gives today as at that time sufficient Scholarly one, which swear that there could not be anything except that, what we today to see and to understand are able. Everything else does not become for existence or not possibly avowedly or one however defined “God” attributed. And even the possibility of such universal Kraft becomes from most humans in the enthusiasm for the understandablenesses of our flat “chessboard” forgets or denied. “The small one sees to see even what it at the large one " noted already lapidary Friedrich Nietz is able.

And it gives already for quite some time harbingers nevertheless new aspects. One the most prominent is Immanuel Kant with its Trilogie “criticism of the pure reason”, “criticism that Judgement " and “criticism of the practical reason”. In the recent discipline of the psychology would be here C.G.Jung too call.

We stand at the threshold of a new age (some people call it the “water man age”). It does not define itself from our turn of the century. But it becomes ever more evident that it all characteristics of the “Begins water man” to develop. Increasing complexity and Multilayeredness of the developments, flowing of borders more tradierter Definitions, “importance of the feeling things in the enterprises the spirit " (vice versa), stronger individualizing, Nonkonformismus as conformity.

The singer “Melanie” wrote into the 1970ern in one its songs the sentence: “As I lake it now, the world is changing - keeping US whole, is the Main thing… “. Perhaps can the “glass bead play” the Astrologie in a time of ever more global and more complex Developments a way its, us in the midst of these developments of ours to insure even - around us thereby in such a way consciously becoming more surely in the river of the Zeitläufte an alive and turned position take to leave.
