Symmetry In Sequences

(by Dlanorrenrag*)
Symmetry In Sequences:

Memory represents storing of information as it accumulates over sequences and/or segments.
Time, in itself, does not exist — except in subjectivity.
And, as byproduct of whatever may express Einstein’s grid, in respect of relativity.

So, if time does not exist, why should anyone suppose it possible to go back and forth between the "non-existent" past, present, and future?

Should any one person who shares a state that defines his body as well as the bodies of all with whom he has capacity to communicate be able to travel to previous or later sequences in his experience, thereby to alter the experiential information and sequences of all who may share his state?

Should experiences of conservation support intuitions that we can never deviate from a series of existential balances and symmetries, whose actual sequence and direction is determined by some superior force or Decider, whose choices from among all potentials set the course for all who occupy our common state — synchronously?

May such Decider consist in some sort of morphogenetics (or collective unconscious, or "Elohim") call forth or allow directional, informational interpretations of various manifestations of such sequentially organized representations of symmetrical forms?

STATES OF SYMMETRY (and Equilibrium?):

From http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/symmetry-breaking/ :

Discuss definition of symmetry: Invariance under a specified group of transformations.
When alternatives are completely equivalent, there is no sufficient reason for choosing between them.
Following the situation of a certain symmetry, absent an asymmetric cause, the initial symmetry is preserved.
Asymmetry cannot originate spontaneously.(?)
Stick a planed stick perpendicular in the ground. Put a weight on top, evenly distributed. Increase the weight gradually. Eventually, the stick must bend. The weight at which it must bend may be achieved in gradations too fine to ascertain precisely which addition caused the symmetry breaking.

Higgs fields could be phenomenological rather than fundamental.

What may be the relation between hidden symmetries and spontaneous symmetry breaking?
Symmetries of causes must be found in effects; asymmetries of effects must be found in causes.
Symmetry of a cause is not lost; it is preserved in ensemble (conflation) of solutions (the whole effect).

Entities may perhaps be defined based on their transformation properties.
The requirement of invariance with respect to a transformation group imposes restrictions upon the form a theory may take.
Research in respect of local symmetry groups aims at a unifying theory of physics.
Notions of super-symmetry help predict discoveries of new particles.

There are certain properties of objects which are not observable, such as absolute position.

Laws by means of which we describe the evolution of physical systems have an objective validity insofar as they are the same for all observers ([?]who HAPPEN TO SHARE in a state of having capacity to observe them).

What is objective is what is invariant with respect to the transformation group of reference frames.

How to understand the status of physical symmetries will present challenges to both physicists and philosophers.
