What made your article a grind to read to me, was the intermingling of vague understanding of bits of physics and mathematics with personal philosophy, presented under the nomer of "science". It's basically "my beliefs", but with a rationalization based in mostly just namedropping scientific terms.
There's no clear structure or method to the reasoning. There are no valid scientific hypotheses in it, and no ideas for scientifically researching parts of your philosophy. There are a lot of assumptions about things you don't seem to know a lot about, and a lot of unfounded, unresearched statements.
I'd recommend you study logic, as in the mathematical field, at 1st year mathematics Bsc level, and also get a solid understanding of basic research statistics and hypothesis testing. It'll help you be more precise in your reasoning and get a better understanding of the border between philosophy and science.
I'll end with a list of more specific critiques:
>> Consider for a moment that life is an embedded property of the universe, just like time and space are.
What does this even mean? Spacetime is a construct that combines space and time to make it similar to 4-dimensional Euclidian space, which makes it much easier to reason about physics mathematically AFAIK. Are you suggesting a 5-dimensional model? Or that life is "literally time" travel? Or that entropy can decrease in a closed system, if only for "the life element"?
Because any of those interpretations sound a lot like "life is not part of physics" and pseudoscience-based mysticism when not supported by any mathematical rigor.
>> Just like time is a property of the time-space continuum, life is a property of a larger continuum space-time-life.
What the hell is this continuum you're talking about? This needs references and a thorough definition which does not contain made-up undefined terms. You can't just say a few magic words and call it science.
>> Time and life are two opposing fundamental forces of the universe. Time is the global entropy increase and life is the local entropy decrease. I don’t know if they’re symmetric, but they are closely so. It is a fractal who grows the same over and over again, no surprises here.
Uh, yes. Why are they opposing? Why are you saying life is "a force"? What do you define as "a force"? How is time global entropy increase? What's this crap about symmetry and fractals?
>> "the animus and the tenses"
>> "the power of resilience"
Define your terms.
I could spit through the whole article line by line but I don't have enough battery and I'd end up critiquing every nonempty line.
If you want I could help you find some good learning resources on the subject. You're on HN so you probably have access to a modern browser OR a somewhat decent PDF reader, and that ought to do fine.
Thank you a thousand times for this. It was extremely helpful for me :) I take this very seriously and have no issue with admitting the strong limitations in my grasping capacity.
Your detailed effort is much appreciated, almost a Christmas gift! And with limited battery :D
ping :) Yes, I am very interested in your offer, sorry for the delay, holidays got to me! on the spot i didn't have the nerve to ask, and i took it as a politeness formula, but if indeed this is a activity you enjoy do help me :) ill be thrilled!
This alt isn't strongly linked to my IRL identity (yet) and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm a bit busy so I'd rather not make another email account for this occasion.
