This Defense Documentation Center report (ADA068988) reproduces a paper Thomas E. Bearden prepared for the 1979 MUFON Annual Symposium. It carries a public-release distribution statement. Bearden is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and nuclear engineer. The paper proposes a speculative mind and matter model built on a claimed fourth law of logic and hyperspatial frames. It argues that the collective unconscious can materialize thought forms under Cold War stress, and it fits major UFO waves and U.S. cattle mutilations since 1973 into that model.
·~ A Four-law Logical Solution of the Problem of Mind In figure 4, we show the solutLon to the age-old philosophical problem of mind. We start by the -three-law (Cartesian) assumption that mind and matter are mutually exclusive, and we represent matter by A and mind by A, as shown in the Venn diagram. To apply the fourth law, we stmply colle":t all of A, each and every bit of matter, and when it is all collected, the boundary is reached. At that moment, A = A, and so what we have must also represent mind. A 11 collt~ction of all of matter" is indeed the physical universe; therefore the mind must be a physical universe. In other words, a thing can be modeled in terms of its own opposi~e, and mind can be modeled as a physical universe. The remaining prArequisite on our mind model is that its spatial dimensions must not intersect or coincide with the spatial dimensions of the physical universe (laboratory frame), but the time dimensions must coincide. This immediately leads to the model shown in figure 5, where we have now shown the relationship existing between mind, neutrino, photon, and particle. In figure 5, S represents the laboratory 3-space (spatial frame) that is the ordinary universe we live in. S' represents electromagnetic field. An ordinary particle of mass, when turned one right angle to this universe, will intersect the lab frame in only two dimensions (a wave front), and thus will be perceived by a lnboratory observer as a photon. We have already shown that special relativity requires this, and that it follows as a corollary to Einstein's postulate that the speed of light is the same to every observer. 11 S'' represents a frame two orthogonal turns away from the laboratory frame, and an entity turned into this frame intersects the lab frame in a line. The candidate for this type of object at present is the neutrino; if so, neutrinos move at the speed c2 with respect to the lab frame, not at the speed cas is commonly supposed.l2 Note that between frames S' and S", a particle (e.g., an electron) will be seen by the lab observer as a virtual photon. Thus charged particles in the lab frame communicate past the ordinary electromagnetic field in this model. Finally, an ordinary particle of mass that has ortho- rotated three full turns away from the laboratc.~ry frame wilJ '3xiS't in frame S'", and it will have a zero-dimensional intersection with the lab frame. 1n other words, it will be a "thought" 0r 11 thoughtform," observationally speaking. tl•. r-id 3"' is therefore a mind, as is each other frame that is still more turns away. Note :tat m'l.nti always moves at the speed c3 or greater with respect to the laboratory frame. In an infinite-dimensional hyperspace as shown, there are a finite numbE:.'r of minds. Their number is very large indeed, but finite nonetheless. If a finite number of things are selected at randorn from an infinite number, the odds are that no two will be the same. Thus normally no tw,.,~ minds occupy the same mind world. Further, the hyperframes are a little more complicated than we have shown them, for we have s:1own the simplest case, for ease of understanding. Actually each mind world is only three orthogonal turns away from the laboratory frame, in nonlinear hyperspace ns it is postulated to exist. Note what the process of collection --which is merely time synchronization -- can accomplish. Collecting/cohering mind objects (thoughtforms}, the collectit'n becomes progress1 vely virtual neutrinos I then finally neutrinos. As collection continues, the set becomes virtual photons, 'Whereupon it is interactable with charged particles and fields. In Kirlian photography, e.g., the film only records ordinary photochemical interaction. However, strongly cohering mind energy can be collected by the spark discharge, kindled into virtual photons, and affect the electromagnetic field interaction on the film. As collection continues, finally ordinary photons are reached (frame S') , and thought energy has now been turned into electromagnetic energy. Certain frequencies (e.g. 1 infrared and ultraviolet) offer much less resistance to the kindlina process, and tnese 4.
