QUANTUM is number. Quanta are the language of matter, of particles: electron, proton, neutron.
Electrons spin and orbit following definite physical laws. One might sense that electrons move according to an inherent proto-intellect. Electrons interact in certain proportions, with variable speeds, with given degrees of attraction or repulsion. One might sesnse that electrons interact according to an inherent proto-affection (in the same way that one might sense that RNA and DNA are proto-life.
Feeling evolves from proto-affection. Intelligence evolves from proto-intellect.
Intelligence is causal inference, sensing cause and effect.
Being able to figure out what intelligence is requires abstracting --high intelligence, human intelligence: meta-intelligence. Humans are meta-intelligent creatures.
Feeling is sensing harmony and rhythm.
Art is expressing the sense of harmony and rhythm and the knowledge of cause and effect by means of words, sound, color, movement and shapeable materials. Great art is adding originality. Subtle ambiguity is of the essence of originality in art.
< The ineffable harmony and rhythm of great art --sheer proto-affection-- may cause a sympathetic vibration that is interpreted as deep feeling. Be this feeling strong, call it emotion...Be the arousal very intense, but not excessively so, live a peak experience. Or live it when for an elusive orgasmic instant you vibrate attuned to Nature's harmony and rhythm.
Literature is art employing language as the means of expression..
Prosody is the 'music' of language.
Language is the foremost expression of human intelligence.
Human intelligence is word with syntax.
Feeling is number with harmony and rhythm.
Language --as thought-- mirrors the intellective structure of the universe.
Mathematics --as harmony and rhythm-- mirrors the universe's sentient attribute. Language is intelligence --and creation. Mathematics is feeling --and discovery.
Illumination is discovery of the creation.
Poetry is language with mathematics, thought with harmony and rhythm, intelligence with feeling.
Poetry mirrors the whole universe.
Quarks are the unit, the one. Quarks are life, are proto-good, proto-god.
Antimatter is death, proto-evil, proto-devil.
Religion is the consciousness of life and death, and the unconsciousness of archetype, of continuance.
Cognition (intelligence) and affection (feeling), yes --but what is will?...
