2013-06-27 Interview with Hugh Matlock
right after he submitted his Software Cosmos essay:
Saleena Kí : You seem relieved today, no longer worried about the research. What were you worried about? You have laid out a series of bread crumbs…
Hugh Matlock: I think the idea, let’s call it the discovery, that I made, could just disappear and be forgotten because it doesn’t last long enough; either it is suppressed or I don’t last long enough to get it out there. I think I am more relaxed about that today because with this “Software Cosmos” paper it lays out a series of bread crumbs, a path for physicists to follow to give them the answers they are looking for.
It creates a picture, a model, a general concept, that they can formalize mathematically to get a more coherent picture of what’s going on.
So just by submitting this today, and in the next few days seeing it go online, that will answer that question because that’s not something that can be taken back.
S: When it goes online, is it viewable by anyone?
H: Yes, right, so the path will be there. So that removes the worry that I won’t live long enough to see the results of my efforts. You know, I have to wait a couple of days for them to post it, but once I see it online I will feel like, at least it’s up there, Maybe when a few hundred people have read it, the idea is it’s gotten out and then it has a chance of surviving over the next years… and having a good effect. So at least the idea is there.
Now we’re saying, in a certain sense, these ideas have been there all along, at least back to 3300 BC, I mean, for a long time. However long the geomancy-Feng Shui has been around. So in a sense the ideas aren’t new, but what is new, I think, is the bread crumbs. The step by step process by which you can make it scientific.
S: …Your original goal/inspiration was to create a bridge that would give spiritual people and scientific people the ability to bridge, if I understand this right, to bridge the heart and the mind, the spirit and mind, where there has been a separation between those things.
H: Well, it probably doesn’t go all the way there, but at least it is a starting point. In other words, at least there’s hope that sciences with start exploring some of these things they’ve just considered imaginary.

“Geocosmology at present may best be considered a philosophy
or a proto-science rather than a science or religion.
As it matures, perhaps it can form a bridge
between these two great traditions…”
