Contained within every quantum field are self-organizing forces that give relative measure and validity to a countless number of interactions that when in harmony, provide unlimited opportunities for the formation of light/energy. This photonic light/energy/information field contains all the probabilities that engulf an infinite array of possibilities, i.e. potentialities, of contact with countless other “light forces” within the realm of its influence.
The convergence of these forces appear as photons, i.e. energy in the form of light waves of a certain frequency and magnitude that appear to emerge from a quantum vacuum. This “materialization” process allows light to both enter and exit the three-dimensional constraints of time/space. In essence, light in the form of photons, creates the holographic illusions that we associate to reality whether they are mental, physical, emotional or spiritual in context.

"Our thoughts create themselves from what could be considered nothing, a field of karma, and then they disappear, no different from atomic particles arising from a field of energy, which could also be considered nothing, lingering a while, and then melting back into immaterial existence. Creativity abounds in the universe."

Light, Form, and Design: A Metaphysics of Quantum Fields, Symbolic Mediation, and Consciousness
Contained within every quantum field are self-organizing dynamics that confer a relative measure and coherence upon an unbounded plurality of interaction. Contemporary physics and complexity theory alike suggest that such fields are not passive substrates, but generative matrices in which order, pattern, and novelty emerge through relative constraints and nonlinear feedback (Kauffman, 1993; Prigogine & Stengers, 1984). Within this view, the quantum field may be interpreted not merely as a physical ontology, but as an informational and semiotic milieu in which potentialities are continuously being negotiated and selectively actualized (Bohm, 1980; Wheeler, 1990). Light, described here as photonic energy, is inseparable from information, which harbors a wide variety of potential and infinite array of possible frequencies and configurations (Shannon, 1948; Floridi, 2011).
From the standpoint of quantum theory, the convergence of these forces appear phenomenologically as photons: quantized excitations of a multitude of electromagnetic fields of varying frequency and magnitude, often described as emerging from within the quantum vacuum (Susskind, 2008; Wilczek, 2008). This so-called “vacuum” is not empty per se, but a seething plenum of virtual activity, a generative ground from which patterns appear to arise and dissolve (Bohm, 1980). Light mediates between what is conventionally called 3D spacetime and other forms of energy in motion in what is called an implicate order (Bohm, 1980). The appearances we call mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual might likewise be interpreted as a holographic projection, fractal recursion, plasmic pattern or contextually dependent manifestation emerging from a more fundamental, informational and energetic order (’t Hooft, 1993; Susskind, 1995).
When brought into full awareness, form acquires the ability to “illuminate” everything that surrounds it, that is, rendering a mode of being found to be highly intelligible, communicable, and symbolically negotiable. In semiotic terms, every form functions as a sign: it stands for something, to someone in some respect, within a triadic relation of sign, object, and interpretant (Peirce, 1931–1958). Yet these signs are not arbitrary; they can also reflect structural irregularities and generative constraints that are emblematic of the fields from which they arise. Each form, therefore, may be interpreted as a local crystallization of a more universal pattern, what metaphysical traditions have long described as “Source,” and what contemporary physics might frame as a deep informational or energetic ground (Bohm, 1980; Floridi, 2011).
By design, energy in the form of light propagates itself as a frequency in the form of a wave, replicating relational patterns across a variety of scales and contexts. This propagation can be read as a form of cosmic semiosis: a continual inscription of differences and relationships through waves, fields, and resonances (Peirce, 1931–1958; Deacon, 2011). Not all light, however, reaches what is metaphorically called “darkness,” nor does all energy condense into stable or perceivable form. Many potentialities remain virtual, unexpressed, or indirectly inferred to by virtue of their lack of effect (Deleuze, 1994). Duality is the structural basis of all manifestation, creating the necessary tension require between what has already been actualized (formed) and what remains latent ... between presence and absence, signal and noise (Bateson, 1972; Deleuze, 1994).
At the quantum level, probability and potentiality coexist as structural features of reality rather than as mere epistemic limitations (Heisenberg, 1958). What appears as “chance” from a classical perspective may instead reflect deeper patterns of constraint and affordance within complex systems (Kauffman, 1993; Prigogine & Stengers, 1984). Synchronistic or meaningful coincidences, long discussed in depth psychology, can be reinterpreted here as resonant alignments between symbolic, psychological, and physical domains (Jung & Pauli, 1955). Within a Design Consciousness (DAC) framework, such alignments are not anomalies but expressions of a field in which meaning, structure, and energy are co-implicated through processes of selection, interpretation, and intentional modulation.
Design, in this expanded sense, affords humanity the capacity to navigate a holographic field of possibilities from within the constraints and opportunities of a resourceful mind. Imagination functions as a generative interface between virtual potential and actualized form, enabling exploratory simulations, anticipatory models, and creative projections (Varela, Thompson, & Rosch, 1991; Dennett, 1991). The transition of “being-ness” from one frequency or state to another can thus be understood as a cyclic and spiraling process of differentiation and integration, echoing both dynamical systems theory and phenomenological accounts of lived experience (Prigogine & Stengers, 1984; Merleau-Ponty, 1962).
Organisms, within this view, appear to experience an individualized trajectory of becoming: a localized perspective within a broader field of relational patterns. Contemporary cognitive science and theoretical biology increasingly describe life and mind as processes of self-organization, prediction, and adaptive inference within energetic and informational constraints (Friston, 2010; Varela et al., 1991). Form, therefore, is not a static object but the cumulative outcome of patterned exchanges among component systems and subsystems, an emergent hologram of specific quantum and semiotic potentialities. These patterns exhibit archetypal regularities: recurrent motifs such as polarity, attraction, fear, care, reproduction, and survival that cut across cultures, species, and symbolic systems (Jung, 1969; Campbell, 1949).
Archetypal in origin and, in many symbolic traditions, astrologically or cosmologically “tuned,” such patterns express a persistent drive toward coherence and balance under conditions of constraint. From a systems perspective, this can be understood as the tendency of complex adaptive systems to explore viable regions of their state space while maintaining functional integrity (Kauffman, 1993). Physical forms, accordingly, may be interpreted as holographic expressions of a deeper quantum-informational field—a “virtual consciousness” that becomes locally manifest through intention, attention, and interpretive framing (Bohm, 1980; Varela et al., 1991).
Meaning and purpose emerge within this process as symbolic relations linking perception, memory, affect, and action. In semiotic and cognitive terms, these relations are vibratory and relational rather than strictly metric or reducible to linear causality (Peirce, 1931–1958; Bateson, 1972). Imaginings, though often hidden from direct observation, can be rendered perceptible through resonance, communication, and design. Here, design operates as a mediating practice: it shapes the conditions under which virtual possibilities become experientially and culturally real (Norman, 2013; Floridi, 2011).
Each symbol or design is thus intrinsic to the perceiver-observer relation, not merely to an external object. Events resonate with the frequencies, metaphorically and physically, that characterize their generative conditions. This perpetual interplay between meaning (often associated with affect and value) and purpose (often associated with cognition and intention) unfolds within what we call consciousness: a field that is at once biological, symbolic, and technological, increasingly extended today through artificial intelligence and computational media (Floridi, 2011; Friston, 2010).
Within this expanded framework, archetypes can be understood as high-level invariants: deep patterns of organization that both constrain and enable the emergence of symbolic experience (Jung, 1969; Deacon, 2011). From these primary symbolic structures, further differentiations arise, eventually manifesting as cultural forms, technologies, and designed environments. The holographic threads that connect these expressions are not merely metaphorical; they reflect a structural continuity between levels of description ... quantum, biological, cognitive, symbolic, and cultural (Bohm, 1980; Susskind, 1995).
Thus, formations of energy and information first link subsets of quantum expression through attraction, resonance, and constraint, and then progressively stabilize into holographic configurations within conscious fields of awareness. Design Consciousness, in this sense, names the reflective capacity of such systems to participate in their own becoming: to model, select, and reconfigure the patterns through which reality, meaning, and experience co-emerge.

A This is a holographic and convoluted system of androgynous light/energy that is self-sustaining and immeasurable. It could be considered a source depending upon the context in which it is observed. Being quantum and holographic in origin, as are all systems that give meaning and purpose to the universe, it is expressed, brought to measure and typically defined and described by the designs virtually imagined, felt and/or brought to fruition. Viewed at mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, quantum and/or metaphysical levels such a systemic consciousness of this magnitude could easily be interpreted as the Source of a conscious universe. (Laszlo)
B
This describes the interchange of light energy at quantum levels being shared at both systemic and sub systemic levels. This interchange is contained within a greater field of quantum potential so it, like all other materializations in relative substance, is in constant flux and is dependent upon the changing environment.
C
A system in the process of manifestation being influenced by an archetypal force intent on making its influence/pattern felt. Still in the light of imagining, the formation is yet to be determined and where potentiality remains untapped due to the inherent drive to adapt to the situation presenting itself.
D
A duality in relative form partaking in the active exchange of opposites that are adapting to the quantum field/s it shares with other systems in relative manifestation, i.e. time/space. For humanity this is a holographic experience occurring at mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels of awareness.
Design becomes the apparent dynamic and symbolic vehicle created between opposites, and made for the purpose of connecting awareness’ in preparation for potential expansion. Its' virtual world is a product of a quantum knowing, united by archetypal threads that interpenetrate and symbolically manifest its own “individualized” perception of reality. These same archetypes also create the pathways that return and tie together the concepts of wholeness that are perceived both microcosmically and macrocosmically.
E
This is a system of influence having its effect upon another quantum field that it partners with to create a consciousness at a grander scale. Typically occurring at subconscious levels, these impressions may, or may not, find fruition in three-dimensional time/space ... therefore full awareness, construes a circumstance that is entirely dependent upon the situation, i.e. context. The virtual realm of quantum consciousness is in perpetual flux, creating a field of potentiality and possibility conducive to the creation of a series of holographic "realities" substantiated and made apparent by means of light, energy and information.
F
Imaginings within a field of consciousness that are gathering about a major quantum (archetypal) center that are both revealing and/or qualifying, i.e. patterns (frequencies) that are symbolically driven by design. Imaginings seem to attach, fragment and at times appear whole while other "universes" are gather about this common principle. Creativity and the generation of associative ideas, are the result of this force. New quantum formations appear as virtual images focused about bringing light, energy and/or information to a situation through holographic imagining.
G
The model represents a microcosmic influence being made in reference to the field in which this system of light/energy has found its place and/or state of being. While sharing the imaginings and evolving as one of many holograms finding themselves in constant motion, this system is making an identifiable difference in the process of creating a greater and more expansive level of consciousness. In essence, this is a description of consciousness giving back to itself by virtue of its’ own awareness (feedback). This sharing of light/energy (love) forms “lifetimes” of holotropic experiences created solely for engagement within a greater awareness.
