- When creating within the quantum field of virtual potential and probability (QVFPP) there are no limitations except for those you consciously recognize or subconsciously ignore as your own.
THE SITUATION:
- Change is a given. Learn to adapt.
- Create situations that attract equilibrium.
QUANTUM BASED DESIGN FOCUSES UPON:
- The transition between form and formlessness, particle and wave, spirit and matter. Design is a two way street.
- Discern, know and understand the difference between feeling and emotion.
- Ascertain to the concepts of meaning and purpose in a holistic manner by means of transposition and reciprocation.

SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO DESIGN WITH UNCERTAINTY:
- Begin by going within the core of awareness.
- Acclimate within constraints that are always changing.
- Discover and embrace that which brings joy and happiness.
- Understand there are no mistakes only modifications.
- Know you never design alone.
- Maintaining equilibrium is the objective, attaining equilibrium is the goal.

"Living ape species are specialized species, relicts of a much larger group of now extinct apes. When we consider all evidence—that is, both living and fossil apes and hominins—it is clear that a human evolutionary story based on the few ape species currently alive is missing much of the bigger picture," said study co-author Ashley Hammond, an assistant curator in the Museum's Division of Anthropology.

Kelsey Pugh, a Museum postdoctoral fellow and study co-author adds, "The unique and sometimes unexpected features and combinations of features observed among fossil apes, which often differ from those of living apes, are necessary to untangle which features hominins inherited from our ape ancestors and which are unique to our lineage.”
hominin: a primate of a taxonomic tribe (Hominini), which comprises those species regarded as human, directly ancestral to humans, or very closely related to humans: fossil footprints reveal the height of ancient hominins.
Some consider the tribe Hominini to include only the genera Homo and Australopithecus and their extinct relatives, thus making hominin equivalent to hominid (see hominid). Others define the tribe so as to include the chimpanzees, and sometimes also the gorillas.

"... the brain and nervous system must interpret environmental stimuli and send signals to the cells, which then integrate and regulate life-sustaining function of the body's organ systems to support survival in that perceived environment."pg. 31
"Through evolutionary advances, the brain's cellular population acquired the ability to remember millions of experienced perceptions and integrate them into a powerful database. Complex behavioral programs created from this database endow the organism with the characteristic traits of consciousness, a term we use in its most fundamental context to mean "the state of being awake and aware."pg.31
"Clearly, the nature of Nature is twofold - to simultaneously change while staying the same. So, what happens when we combine static patterns with dynamic evolution? Simply morph a circle, representing cyclical existence, with a vector, symbolizing directional progress, and voila: we end up with a universe-friendly spiral of evolution."pg.46
"... the study of evolution suggests that consciousness mechanisms evolved over time. Consequently, the character of consciousness would likely express itself as a gradient of awareness from less-conscious in primitive organism to the unique character of self-consciousnessmanifestin humans and other higher vertebrates ... a quality of being both a participant in life and an observer of life at the same time."Pg. 31
"Perceptions not only control behavior, they control gene activity as well. This revised version of science emphasizes the reality that we actively control our genetic expression moment by moment, throughout our lives."pg. 30
"In 2016, the study of ferroelectrics got more interesting with the discovery of polar vortices — essentially spiral-shaped groupings of atoms — within the structure of the material. Now a team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has uncovered new insights into the behavior of these vortices, insights that may be the first step toward using them for fast, versatile data processing and storage."
“Although this new state of matter, a so called supercrystal, does not exist naturally, it can be created by illuminating carefully engineered thin layers of two distinct materials using light,” said Venkatraman Gopalan, professor of materials science and engineering and physics at Penn State."
“The distinction to be made between scientific and metaphysical approached to knowledge has been in the discernment of information. Spiritual traditions have confronted this issue by evolving specific protocols of practice, of directing attention, of cultivating a stringent observer and witness, and of directing attention, of purifying the filters if attachment and desires and egotism that cloud the lens of perception.
In the Heartfulness tradition of meditative practices, all the teachers have proposed that the realm of most profound consciousness is known through feeling and this feeling connects with humanity. It is an unimaginable realm. We can only conceive it as a kind of enormous filigree network of intensity. It is at the most subtle level of our existence.”
Born and raised in Chicago, Ill. I received my BFA and MFA from the University of Illinois, Urbana. Professor Emeritus Columbus College of Art and Design. I have taught, lectured and written about
design and the design process throughout my tenure as Dean of Industrial and Interior Design. My interests lie in demonstrating design as fundamental to consciousness, archetypal in context and the underlying language of change and transformation.
