Constraints

Some big statments reflected on here:

Constraints define all forms in the physical universe.

. We could think of our mental experiences as existing somewhere between the constraints of the physical senses and unconstrained imagenings of the mind.

On the one hand, sensations from the 5 senses together with the responses of feelings , emotions and thoughts form the every day routine content of the mind. And the dynamic of this seems to consist of pleasant and unpleasant feelins is response to sensations giving rise to habitual emotions, thoughts and action. On the whole the responses are habituated and habitual, in the domain of the ego and constitute characteristics of the self.

On the other hand less frequent events occur , possibly some grief or largesse that steers the attention away from habit to often deeply meaningful experience that more often than not are beyond our ability to express in feelings, emotions and thoughts but interestingly can be communucated , to some extend, through creative artistic works in art, literature and music and possibly secular and religious rituals.

we act out a life const/orm and propagation objects in physical space and most possibly the Mind.  

This blog aims to explore, applying the principles and mathematics developed for an understanding of phenomena in our physical universe to the experiential appearance of the mental states and events in out ‘mental universe’.  

In this application of physics concepts, we are aiming to use the concepts as simile of the experience of mental states rather than explanations of the mind.  

So we are aiming at describingOne the one hand mental states and events and the dynamics of such with analogy with physics rather than explain mechanism behind mental phenomena.  

It is hoped that this approach might lead to mapping, not only of states of the mind, but of the dynamics underpinning states and the processes behind changes in states.  

In our inquiry we want to proceed in a leisurely manner using chiefly these sources from the Buddhist tradition that describe meditative states and events, mental appearances, and the dynamics thereof as our data on direct experience.  

Most of this description of mental states and will come from Buddhist sources, in particular, the Dhammapada, the Abhidharma, the wheel of life, the spiral path and descriptions of meditation methods, dhyanic states found in the sutras.  

Having broadly outlined the geography of mental states and dynamics and looked at this from the perspectives of states arising from constraints and mental events arising from mental states we will discuss the feedback and interplay of states and events.  

We will then turn to physics paying attention particular attention to description of the state and events in physical systems from the perspective of constraints described in the Lagrangian analysis of systems and the principle of least action. 

We have a feeling that there is something about constraints and movement that underpins our thinking in physics in the Lagrangian that might be useful in formulating the kinetics or dynamics of the mind.
