Physics, Cosmology & Foundations of Reality
EXPLORING FIELD, RELATION, COHERENCE, COSMOLOGY, CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THE FOUNDATIONAL STRUCTURES THROUGH WHICH PHYSICAL REALITY IS UNDERSTOOD.
What relational structures may underlie physical reality?
Research Questions
- What does contemporary physics reveal about relation, field, process, and organization?
- How do theories of fields, coherence, and emergence reshape understandings of physical reality?
- What is the relationship between consciousness and the physical world?How do space, time, matter, information, and relation participate in physical organization?
- What conceptual parallels can be explored between Indigenous cosmologies and contemporary physics?
- How can such dialogues preserve the distinct foundations and purposes of different knowledge traditions?
- What assumptions about reality underlie contemporary scientific models?
- Can relational approaches contribute to new questions in physics and cosmology?
