List,

Some observations:

What I call "determinant negation" (that which does not exist affirms
itself in its coming to be: ex. "hate" hates itself...the negation of hate
produces hate; though it's existence as a not-thing, or negative, precludes
it from being a thing)...what I call determinant negation creates a realm of
non-possibilities from which might emerge psuedo-possibilities ("many"
worlds, ex: the non-world where hate=love and self-negation, suicide,
results in life).

Through this void of psuedo-possibilities arises "myth" within which
entities and non-entities battle for truth (objects -- "not me"-- are given
human characteristics). This results is a social reality (bureaucracy, even
"Christianity") which negates the individual -- in effect saying "you" or
"that thing" is me, a non-plausibility. We thereby impose an internal order
upon a disordered objective state and "create" objective relationships which
do not exist naturally, like computers.

In sum, the equation of "many worlds/many rooms" involves self-negation, or
suicide. The equating of myth with reality allows for the illusion of
duality and gives no-thing equal status to truth...is objective
annihilation. "Information" resolves this in a symbolic realm only...by
which processes (like computers) might be imagined but which contain
"entropy" as a foundational rule such that the positivistic flow of energy
(as information) negates itself...that is, information ("logos") informs
itself in order that it might come to be.

The symbolic becomes the context within which objects are consciously
manifest. Subjectivism seems to create the object (like Adam's "dominion"
by which he had power over objects--"magically"--through naming them). The
self becomes -- circularly -- primary. That which is self-negating is not
named. "Hate" (for example) ceases to be a possibility. And a steady-state
is reached within which reality includes only one probable world.

In this scenario, the many world theory is true as long as it is negated, as
is the information theory. It does not hold that "all possibilities are
equally real".
