An excellent presentation from Kerri Welch PhD. on Anger, Power, and Entropy - Negotiations of Fractal Dimensionality. Filmed at Esalen on March 18th, 2024. Energy dissipates via scaling. When external pathways close, and turn inward, intensity of energy flow increases. The balance between internal and external energy densities can be felt in the experience of anger; seen in Kleiber’s ¾ scaling law; and in the proportionality of black holes’ entropy to their surface area. We explore these three phenomena as variations on the theme of energy flows across fractal interfaces. In celebration of the retirement of Brian Swimme, Rick Tarnas, and Robert McDermott, who founded the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness graduate program at California Institute of Integral Studies in 1994. 0:00 Opening meditation 1:30 Learning from meditation on anger 3:50 Negotiations btwn expansion and contraction: astrological and cosmological 6:00 Anger and energy flow through fractal surface area 11:05 Organized flows of energy cascading across scale, breaking down gradients 12:38 Kleiber's 3/4 Scaling Law across species (Correction: 12:55 nonlinear should be sublinear) 14:18 Dimensionality 15:30 Fractal Dimension 11:37 Entropy as fractal dimension, Time as fractal dimension Questions: 26:55 Fractal dimensionality vs. curvature 27:40 Ayeh: Temporal asymmetry as signature of fractal dimensionality 28:19 Matt: Brain as fractal patterning 29:48 Beck: Dimensionality increase as cosmological evolution 31:10 Christo: Esalen as a vortex?
