6. We have seen that one cannot expect an infinity of universe-existences or even a multitude of universe-existences in a unique space. However, according to Fig. 55b, an infinity of such existences are likely along the axis of orthoexistence under the orthoexistence-dependent model.
But this is just a geometrical image which we carry from our existence and space, and which we cannot, nor are we entitled to, extrapolate to the orthoexistence. Orthoexistence has no dimensional coordinate. Instead, it appears like an additional coordinate, like an additional "channel" of the world. Orthoexistence might divide its conservation magnitude into more universe-existences, each of which having its own space and time. Orthoexistence might be such "channel" of the world to imply certain exchange among existences. May quantities be introduced into or extracted from the conservation magnitude (XIII), from and into our existence, at the expense of other universe-existences, along this coordinate ? If they may, what are the associated laws or working scheme ?
Under the above hypothesis, orthoexistence is a material channel securing inter-existence exchange, as if matter and energy were extruded from our existence to be transferred to orthoexistence into another existence, and conversely by ways unknown to us. Viewed at the limit, this would be the way in which an existence, ours included, would emerge and vanish. Assuming that orthoexistence is an new coordinate, or a channel of the material world, in addition to the known coordinates of the existence (three space coordinates and time) only renders the concept of the material world more comprehensive in materialistic terms. Since orthoexistence represents the profundities of the material world, it should be endowed with specific properties under a fairly elementary form, yet responsible for the emergence of existence in their over-all complexity. Although orthoexistence is not within the immediate scope of our senses, it may be deduced via philosophical reasoning and experiments, and finally via physical and informational experiments.

An increasingly deeper insight into the realm of elementary particle physics might disclose increasingly queer situations, for in a way we are approaching the coordinate of the orthoexistence. The transition from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics and most likely further to a more involved "mechanics",which is expected to be grounded on informational principles,may be regarded as an illustration of this idea.
By virtue of the orthoexistence hypothesis, orthoexistence is a coordinate of the world. Additionally, under the same hypothesis, a specific phenomenality of material nature is introduced along this coordinate.
Hosts, even an infinity, of universe-existences might emerge from orthoexistence. Let us now assume that only one existence with started-ups and stop-overs were born. We have seen that the stop-over "time" (Fig. 51) are meaningless. Each universe-existence in the "succession" of such existences may be governed by certain laws, and so different universe-existences are governed by different laws. The diversity of the world would then become apparent both within an universe-existence and by all the possible universe-existences. Along its own coordinate, orthoexistence begets existences. Each of these unfolds against its own time but they appear as a permanence or as likely to be achieved simultaneously. Orthoexistence cannot be said to be since ever inasmuch as time is alien to it, but it is precisely for this reason, i.e. because it appears as a permanence with respect to any existence. The world appears to be infinite if viewed from the eye of existence. Assuming a unique universe-existence, which entails a succession of such existences, this is conducive to a permanence of universe-existence with respect to the orthoexistence. The two cases actually reduce to only one. The immediate step is to recognize a multitude of universe-existences.


7. Then the world appears indeed qua orthoexistence and universe-existences. The world contains an energymatter which contained into orthoexistence might be transposed into universe-existences according to the fundamental laws of orthoexistence.
However, as soon as we raise the question of laws, hosts of questions come up. The laws are the transformation, motion and diversification rules of the world. But how are these laws established, what is the substance they are inscribed in and how are they carried by all that is material such that their observance be on the safe side ? Let us assume that there exists a way in which the laws generating an universe-existence from the orthoexistence are inscribed. This means that the profundities of the material world contain "substances" which are not subject to some laws, but which have certain properties by virtue of which they are likely to get laws. The energymatter might be the material reservoir of the world, which could acquire change and motion, the laws in a particular way. Hence, in the profundities of the material world these exists a material crucible in which the information necessary to the laws is prepared on the ground of a material informational substance which will be referred to as informatter. A new quality arises in the phenomena between orthoexistence and an universe-existence: consciousness and cognition. The world is essentially matter (energymatter, informatter, substance, a.s.o.) and consciousness. In each universe-existence there develop certain laws which such an existence observes, but cognition and consciousness are only possible if the deterministic laws are supplemented by probabilistic laws and possibly by uncertainty laws, for it is only in this way that a maximum of diversification, going as far as the conscience's unrestricted right to creation, may be attained. Indeed, our social-cosmic knowledge will make us understand so much of the world that we may be able to "write the program" of the next existential experiment. This would actually be the work of the world itself. Consciousness is however carried by live devices of the world. The living acquires this role and philosophical reason, and the ultimate goal of society appears to be cognition, to shave a social-cosmic cognition and maybe the programming of another existential experiment. The subtleties inherent to the emergence of the living and of the associated consciousness are to be accounted for by science. That is why science has to investigate along two principal ways:

  • along the orthoexistential coordinate of the world, dilating on phenomena related to substance and energy, to their conservation laws, informational phenomena and the way in which the quantum world is generated;
  • along the living line, with insight into the basic phenomena of life and consciousness, of cognition.
Proceeding along these lines, we may righteously ask whether in this long-standing search we shall come against a conjunction of these lines in the principles of energymatter and informatter.

While recognizing the necessity of cognition and of consciousness in existence, we must nevertheless dilate on the living in the broadest philosophical meaning, i.e. as a substratum for cognition and consciousness. First, we have to focus on the living qua individual, thinking of man as an individual item. The living might become apparent as species and individuals, as a manifestation law of the living, only in our existence, much the same as laws like 1/r2 are only valid in our existence. The societies of the future will increasingly be societies of cognition. The individual is an instance of cognition and his periods of cognition furnish him an exquisite harmony. The tragedy of his ephemeral life is pale if he is well aware of the greatness of consciousness in the material world.
The consciousness of each is closely related to the social consciousness. The individual consciousness is an impulse, an irrepeatable, unique flare which vanishes with his bodily life but leaves always something in the social consciousness. From what is known, man hosts most of the world into himself if referred to any other known living from or any other form of existence. His informational and psychic properties might be, or might, involve the informatter in a certain way.
May then man be connected to the orthoexistence in a particular way ? And further on, may the coordinates of orthoexistence be the means of an exchange among the elements of a given universe-existence ? If this were possible, then this exchange should occur in any points in the universe, given that the orthoexistence is incompatible with time, space and hence with propagation. This appears as if by orthoexistence the whole universe were outside space and time, knotted in a unique point. In this respect, one might righteously ask whether there exist orthoexistence fields which arise in an universe-existence at an infinite rate drive, which propagate via orthoexistence instead of propagating in space and time ? Accepting the coordinate of orthoexistence, like phenomena appear to be virtually possible.
Could some physical, micro and macrocosmic phenomena, and likewise biological phenomena be investigated using like concepts ? Might mathematics and a new information theory permit a study of phenomena beyond the scope of quantum mechanics by employing the descriptions allowed by like concepts ?
These are some questions in search of the profundities of the world we live in and cognize.
