My Life Philosophy

As a child I was really fascinated by how scientists tried to explain all those phenomena of nature. Unfortunately school ruined that former conception I had about real science and drowned it in uncountable facts that have zero relation to each other. It still saddens me to see education degenerating so much. But although I was shown the ugly sides - merely only the results - of science, my autodidactive spirit still wasn’t extinct and the ever-existing questions of how and why kept spinning the wheel of my curiousity. It took about half a decade to find back to these roots - to the roots of my curiousity, so science and mathematics have gained a great significance in my life (again). Since then my life philosophy revolves around my way of understanding this incredible cosmos we live in. Each new concept becomes heavily interwoven into my already existing understanding of nature. Hence I constantly contradict myself, by finding out by what the world is held together in its

Dimensions of thinking

Recently I stumbled upon an idea I called “dimensions of thinking” which I want to introduce you today. Although it shouldn’t be seen as something exactly the same as regular physical/ mathematical dimensions, it can offer very many analogue comparisons. Let me introduce you to some of my ideas in the following part: Thinking has 3 dimensions: 1st Dim.: Depth of thought, like: How deep am I into the given topic? 2nd Dim.: broad-range of thought, like: How many fields does my thinking span?/ How many topics does it cut? 3rd Dim.: “Time” (”velocity”) of thinking, like: How can the first

The Art of Science

“The art of science lies in the divine realization that science is art.” This was a sentence I, slightly rendered in the original, wrote in a project I made at school half a decade ago. it not just found the way to a published book now (Isles of Time), but the importance of this statement makes up a big part of my life philosophy; It is not just polarizing to, say, connect opposing-seeming things, it is also a basement for a loop closing up into itself; A strangle loop was born, or as Douglas Hofstadter put into the nice words “tangled hierarchy”… Nevertheless I also think that both the arts as well as the scie

My way to a fullfilled life with math and science

If I did not have the ability to access the Internet, my love of science and math would have been dashed by our educational system, which tears apart all the most interesting and indeed interwoven principles and undermines them in unimportant, disconnected facts... Sadly many people don't come to know about the artsy side of science and mathematics, which is of great importance to our world that needs future scientists and deep thinkers more than ever. I feel burdened by our education system, which never intends to teach the basics of human thinking, say *how* one thinks. Merely we burden our students with information no one needs, nor is i

Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? by Abstract-scientist, literature

Is mathematics a discovery or an invention?

Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil, whilst Charles Darwin discovered evolution. It wouldn’t make sense to say Tesla discovered the Tesla coil, or to think that Darwin invented Evolution. The difference between inventing and discovering something lies in the core of what is man-made and what is made by nature. Hence there arises a big question in my mind: Is mathematics a man-made invention or a discovery of something made by nature? I’d say both somehow, because mathematics is a very intertwined network of principles. It could be a discovery, if we combine ideas according to Richard Feynman’s simple words: “The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.”; Mathematics is about creating worlds, and yet, I suppose, the actual frameworkof mathematics may be a discovery; Thus the results of math are actually an invention. Still, the underlying principles, say logic, creativity and an incredible amount of intuition, are a discovery in another field:

The same story from different angles

The natural sciences and philosophy shouldn’t hate each other, but are obliged to grasp and describe reality together. In the eyes of the conventional the downfall of both, yet those who free their minds from the prison of the conventional will realize that it’s the birth of a new world. Science and philosophy may not speak the same language, but they tell the same story.

Aggregate states of the mind by Abstract-scientist, literature

Literature

Aggregate states of the mind

There are mainly three modes of the mind: logic, creativity, and intuition. One could compare these three modes to states of aggregation that move back and forth between conscious and subconscious thinking structures and processes. In this analogy, logic is defined as the most conscious form of thinking - it is solid and represents the main framework of the mind. If we think a little more subconsciously, it is like creativity, a kind of liquid thinking. Here, the thought structures are much more flexible. The most subconscious form of thinking is intuition; It is far freer than logic and also creativity, so it is more like a gaseous state. After all, it is also important to emphasize that in every mind all three modes exist non-dually, say transitory, and can also be transformed into each other. In addition, “enlightenment” is attained, the more one becomes aware of one’s thoughts, that is, the more “solid” the mind becomes. Since everything is in motion, the mind never becomes

Mathematical and Physical Realities by Abstract-scientist, literature

Mathematical and Physical Realities

In order to stretch the bow, I would first like to come to something that made me even get the idea that Mathematical and Physical Reality are not identical. In that thought, I started thinking about and playing with the Fibonacci numbers. The Fibonacci sequence is always formed so that the last number is combined with the new number. This sequence is formed as follows: (Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2); 1 + 1 = 2; 1 + 2 = 3; 2 + 3 = 5; 3 + 5 = 8; 5 + 8 = 13; 8 + 13 = 21; 13 + 21 = ... If we start to play with them, there is a kind of oscillation about a virtual axis, which is the golden ratio Phi Φ. This golden ratio Φ corresponds to (1+

My Bio

I am Dywiann Xyara and revolved 22 times around our home star on this wonderful organism called by us “Earth”.

My hobbies and passions include mathematics, the purest of the art forms, physics, surreal and abstract art, some sort of weird mathematical logic as subset of cognitive science, say the formalizing of human thinking, and after all, writing about these hobbies!

Furthermore I am a published bi-lingual writer, mainly focused on non-fiction, and artist, escpecially in surrealism. Crossing the borders between art and science has had a huge impact on my life, it shows me that even the impossible could be possible in some means - crossing opposites can not just seem very daring, but it is merely like a fathomless abyss whose deepest depths reveal themselves as the highest heights as well!

Plus, I am a big body modifciation enthusiast!

I use all these forms of body art to underline my chameleon-like appearance, often misunderstood in the misconception that chameleons change their colour to fit in to their environment; But in reality they just want to express themselves.

Indeed quite polarizing, my appearance is just the tip of the iceberg that hides my complex philosophy! Thus it is a way of self expression and an ever-existing strive for internal growth and perfection.

Body mods are a way of freedom from the cage of conformity.

"Ich bin ein Teil des Teils, der anfangs alles war,

Ein Teil der Finsternis, die sich das Licht gebar,

Das stolze Licht, das nun der Mutter Nacht

Den alten Rang, den Raum ihr streitig macht,

Und doch gelingt's ihm nicht, da es, so viel es strebt,

Verhaftet an den Körpern klebt."

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Faust 1; Studierzimmer 1; Z.1349-1354)

I lost myself in the infinite depths of introspection. Trying to become sane again I climb the hills of insanity. This causes a lot of contradictory statements which grate against each other, ignite and fuse together to become paradoxes...Causing struggles I began to be at war with reality.

Exerted are my intrapersonal fights in excessive writing.

Realize that science is art, that's when your mind begins to dance...

Back from year-long hiatus with good news

0 min read

Hello fellows, I just "re-activated" this account with good news; It has been a long time since I spent effort and 'time' into this account; While I was deleting all the crap I posted as a teen (I am 21 y.o. now.) I want to tell everyone that I finally came to overcome my depression and, in general, grew as a person. As a teen I was so full of hate and anger; Now it seems to be settled; Rather, I have spent all my effort, time, energy and love into becoming a published bi-lingual writer. This year, to this day, I have published 4 books; two in German and two in English: GER Mathematische Landschaften Inseln der Zeit EN Isles of Tim
