Yes, Gilbert, of course I will. I got nothing better to do anyway. At least, nothing near so interesting or challenging."

That's about it. All the basic philosophical groundwork for Matrimatics came from my interaction with Kent's words. I just wanted to add an image to your mind that seemed to help me quite a bit when I first started trying to grasp what Gilbert was talking about. The ideas behind this image were actually mentioned in the discussions above but I think it will help if I just lay it out directly before you.

An intention as simple as a desire to get a drink of water can illustrate the workings of an atom better than any math ever designed before Matrimatics. The electron outer shell of an atom is described as having traits of being both a particle and a wave. So does an intention. My intention was to get a drink of water. But the water is in a glass on the table in front of me so I must reach to retrieve it. Then I must place the glass to my mouth; tip it up, only then to reach the point of my intent by drinking.

Well there I am. The glass is in my hand and my intent has been achieved, now what? I either hold the glass in my hand for the rest of my life or I place it back on the table in anticipation of my next desire to drink. Everything before I achieved my intent is just a preparatory wave function. Everything after is a resolution wave function. And the point we find in the electron shell is it’s emergence into our three dimensional spaces as it touches the surface of our world.

Matrimatics is sometimes referred to as meta-structure mathematical theory - although sometimes you might think differently and more accurately call it hyper word problem mathematics.

The reason for describing Matrimatics this way can be summed up by something Gilbert once said to me: “Our character decides for us when there is no practical choice to be made. It is the difference between simply wearing clothes versus which style you choose." He said this kind of non-practical decision-making seems to be more definitive than functional. Yet he also said, "Character is a feeling that we as individuals relate to something other than ourselves. This feeling helps us make a decision which will either bring us closer to or break us away from contact with that relationship. Particles behave in that manner, they may not have brains but they must have some sense of something like awareness. Character is an order of magnitude in Matrimatics."

H2O is not a poem. It appears to be descriptive, but it's really just a label. Matrimatics attempts to find the ‘proof’ which describes the special relationship of two hydrogen molecules with an oxygen molecule. Like poetry, it qualifies rather than quantifies its evaluations. But unlike poetry, its evaluations are definitive proofs of ‘purpose,’ such that ‘purpose’ is first determined by a character profile of each component. These profiles are then compared to each component’s particular aberrations or changes in character within the system in question. (It's not that the study of particle physics is wrong. It isn't. It's the way we limited ourselves by our use of it.) Finally, the description of the system's holistic function is determined by how the effects of the components influence the system: function codes as they relate to one another. One with another, upon another, and another and with... and…

Thirty-one years ago, Gilbert and I began to create Matrimatics. Two days ago, he completed a Matrimatical expression for the phenomena of perception. A conclusion neither of us expected to find.
