Ever fluctuating filamentary network forms an unchanging cosmic design

Cosmic design is made of its own replicas at smaller scales

... There exists a design behind the apparently complex and incomprehensible network of the filaments as the foundation of structures in the universe. Though the entanglements and weaving of filaments and knots may appear extremely complex, and impossible to comprehend, once one is able to discover the cosmic design, then things may appear, in a way, simpler. The building of larger and larger cosmic structures follow a hierarchical growth of the same design at higher and higher scales. Every design embeds a smaller design in its womb, which in turn embeds an even smaller design in its womb and so on. It carries on in the same way in hierarchically ascending, or descending scales.

...It is like an ornament made by weaving strings in a complex manner. It is such a magical ornament that the whole ornament is made of smaller replicas of itself which form its different parts. Those smaller ornaments are again formed of similar ornaments of even smaller dimensions. The strings at different scales are made of denser, or lighter material. In the scale of the superclusters, the strings are studded with galaxies. In the case of stars the strings are made of nebulous filamentary gases. The larger the dimension the average mass density of the material, forming the strings, become lower.

At whatever dimension one looks at the ornament, similar fluctuations can be seen. One can imagine it like an ornament studded with gems, which are woven together in the network of strings. The gems could be stars, or galaxies, or clusters of galaxies, depending on the size of the ornament one looks at. Whichever size one picks, the gems fluctuates, while matter from one gem stream  to the other parts. Through a complex entaglement of strings a gem, which is getting dimmer at one place contribute in reinvigorating the intensities of the dimmer gems in other places. Thus dimming here cause glowing there. Everywhere one observes such fluctuating and pulsating gems. One’s decay is the cause of other’s growth and illumination. No happening inside the ornament can be disentangled from the global phenomena, where all growths and decays are parts of the same process of creation. This ornament in turn form only a local manifestation of the same ornament existing in a larger size. All local objects scintillate to create similar scintillating phenomena in the larger scale. While material stream from one part to the other, filaments, connecting the gems also grow and shrink depending on the process of give and take occurring between the gems.

However, in this ever fluctuating world, changing in a similar way at different scales, there exists something which never changes. This unchanging element constitutes the geometrical pattern, which the creator of the ornament has used in weaving the filaments and the strings together, and arranged the knots in that pattern. I have called this pattern the cosmic design, which I have first discovered at the heart of the nucleus of the Cartwheel galaxy. When the fluctuations, arising from different scales are observed together, the happenings may appear extremely chaotic, and events taking place at any place may appear indeterminable. However, this indeterminism appears due to the lack of knowledge about the cosmic design, which bears the geometrical foundation behind all fluctuations. Once one gets a knowledge of the design, the world will not appear to be so indeterministic as it may have seemed in the beginning.

The design exists in order to guide the happenings in the world along certain paths. The problem arises when we want to resolve these paths in greater and greater details. The paths are not simple paths. After a while they split into multiple paths. Each of these smaller paths, in turn, splits into multiple paths of even smaller dimension. They split again and it goes on and on. It is like a highway turning into multiple main roads, while each main road splits into multiple smaller roads. Each of these smaller roads turns into multiple lanes, through which no car can pass. These lanes then turn into smaller hike-ways where only one person can walk. The hike-ways split into paths through which only one cat can pass and so on. The indeterminism lies in our inability to predict where a cat will end up after it starts moving along a high way. If we follow a big trailer instead, the path, it will follow is more deterministic. So the questions of determinism and indeterminism depends on the scale of the object we study in relation to the geometry, or the map of the area, which we investigate. We may not find the cat, does not mean that there does not exist a plan, or a map of the area. However, there are so many possibilities to exhaust, before we can find the cat, that we can only predict the chance of finding the cat at a particular place.

The cosmic design is like that great map, which is made of self-similar maps at different scales. For example, a gas stream in a stellar nebula entering the design has definite sets of choices, like the cat moving in a highway. However, the situation for this stream is a bit different from the example of the cat. When the highway splits into multiple main roads, the stream splits and flows into those roads and escapes in making a choice to flow through only one of them. Thus whenever the road splits the stream splits. Thus the stream flows through all the roads, the lanes and the hike-ways it encounters on the way, and covers every paths of a fractal roadmap. There is nothing accidental in this flow pattern. The map decides the way the stream will split and move. However, if a cat is caught in the stream, it will not have a choice of its own, it must follow the part of the stream where it finds itself and ultimately be carried to the hike-way where one may find it. Thus the cat’s final destination becomes highly unpredictable though the stream follows very specific rules of splitting into multiple streams, and enters different paths, which are laid by a specific architectural pattern. There exists an amazing order of arrangement, decided by the architect, about how the paths will split and interconnect. This architectural construction of the paths decide the destiny of the cat, caught in the stream.
