Biggest Bang: Post Modern Torat-Moshe Creation Model

Is ‘creation’ beginning(Time) starting-moment Determinate? Modern Cosmology (specifically: ‘The Big Bang’ -plus- quasi-instantly subsequent Events) asserts an unobservable Extrapolation (Model), based upon (most) everything we have come to understand from: Precise Measurements, Controlled Experiments, and many successfully-derived Predictive Formulas. Thus, some FIRST obvious multi-conundrums arising from Torat-Moshe [‘Genesis’] include: the Model, the time scale, and our post-modern Cognitive Dissonance when reading/deciphering this Late Bronze Age language-transcription ‘style’. 

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֖ים – “VaYomer EloHeem” typically translated “and G-D said” -except- that does not exactly portray what it is -nor- how it functions In Context.

VaYomer (וַיֹּ֥אמֶר) is how one’s mind articulates (a cognitive-perspective language); while VaYidaber (וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר) is what one’s Intestines (‘Kishkes’) -or- Womb is ‘telling you’ (a more visceral -or- innate infrastructural-perspective language). Anyway, consider an EloHeem word (אֱלֹהִ֖ים) to indicate (to the reader) ‘Middat haDin’: a ‘measurable’ aspect of LAW (predictive causality: consequences) → THEN, in the ‘The Laws of Nature’ cosmology-context, typical Physics professors/lecturers say “The Laws of Nature tell us …” which (of course) does Not mean: these Laws have a mouth. 

*NOW* For each VaYomer EloHeem occurrence – one presumes the system’s state – described before this expression – complies with entropy/thermodynamics (operating: from order to relative disorder) as in all observations of The Laws of Nature in Our surroundings -and- likewise the same entropy/thermodynamics LAWS for the system’s state – subsequent to this expression.

*HOWEVER* clearly & obviously the entire system’s state after each Vayomer EloHeem has ‘Higher Order’ than the state before – INDICATING whatever is happening ‘during’ “Vayomer EloHeem” is Not according to our normal understanding of entropy/thermodynamics Nor of TIME → which then implies (the concept) EloHeem is ‘Above’ Nature (as appreciated TODAY – in Our Ordinary ‘Thermodynamics Time-Forward’ world) _AND THIS THEN IMPLIES_ when trying to Extrapolate (model) Our Measurements (of Nature) backwards – to calculate the Age of the Universe: WE can ‘only’ extrapolate back-in-Time to the most recent Vayomer Eloheem; and thus, an actual age of the universe is Not calculatable: meaning NOT Knowable!

Q: Is ‘creation’ beginning(Time) starting-moment Determinate?

A: According to Torat-Moshe (cosmology model) – how long ago anything-everything ALL began is NOT Determinate.

While perhaps already described by other(s), I feel obliged to recall where this idea came from – not having read or heard it anywhere. A ‘joke’ eventually inspired this  ‘Genesis’ idea/model. Many years ago, Professor Arnold Siegert A”H (who claimed to be the last Jewish student of Werner Heisenberg – before ‘The War’ – WWII) told us one of Heisenberg’s jokes: 

“(A) There are some systems which go from order to disorder → example: entropy/Thermodynamics. -and- (B) There are some systems which go from disorder to order → examples: Cosmology -and- Evolution. -therefore- (C) We need some ‘meta-logic’ to tell us where to use which system: A -or- B.”

This ‘joke’ bothered me for umpteen years, until i was looking at B’RAy-Shis (בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) – and realized: we see many examples of Thermodynamics happening in Real Time -but- we only see examples of Cosmology (evidence of the Universe’s origin/dynamics) and Evolution (irreversible Species divergence distinction) having happened in some Distant Past (never happening in the instant-present) -and- this gave rise to my appreciation of Vayomer EloHeem as an ‘interval’ of indeterminate duration.

System A -or- B (never simultaneously occurring) implies an ultra-macro-universe Forward direction Parity Violation – an ‘unexpected’ Entropy Conservation Asymmetry -and- Whereas all other cosmologies of physics, philosophy, or indigenous oral traditions ‘foresee’ eventual universe collapse into “ToeHu vVoeHu” (תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ) & then to chaotic nothing. Most peculiar → ‘This Conception/Interpretation’ understanding suggests: we are awaiting/anticipating a next Vayomer EloHeem ⇒ meta-quantum Jumping: The Universe (cosmology) -and- All Sentient Beings (evolution) into Higher Systemic Order! 

…Next Level of Detail…

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית – enlarged <in all authentic scribal copies> Letter (בְּ) BETh represents & indicates TWO completely different readings of the Entire Torat-Moshe (one distinctly Authoritative – the other modestly expressing a ‘normal’ Sequential male-development Baseline); whereas >here< (re: comology) is Mostly a terse deciphering of The ‘traditional’ Authoritative reading: Letter (בְּ) BETh is considered as preposition ‘at’ -or- ‘in’ -while- (רֵאשִׁ֖) Rosh is ‘head’ -or- ‘top’ -making- quasi-plural (רֵאשִׁ֖ית) RAy-Shis into ‘firstly of a plurality’ -or- ‘beginnings’ -or- ‘startings’ → simplified together into ‘Upon Initial Infinitesimal Startings’ [first miniscule-moments].

Albeit colloquially rendered “In THE Beginning” – where “THE” implies an antecedent basis “a” -or- “an” – albeit No Such Prior Moment of existence is implied by the ‘composite’ (בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) B’RAy-Shis.

בָּרָ֣א – ‘poetically’ paralleing the first three letters of B’RAy-Shis → an obvious scribal-indication style: focusing reader’s Visual Attention upon a current topic [until the reader Notices a next Proximate ‘Triplet of other-Letters’ occuring] -AND- technically decomposed to yield: (בָּ) Two – (רָ֣) a Transforming process into – (א) One. For conceptual compatibility with both polytheistic & monotheistic ‘beliefs’ – rendered as ‘created’ ⇒ albeit this compounding continuation of the linguistic (בָּ) prefix [numeration ‘Two’] essentially portrays [2⇒1] (process-unification); an implicit adverbial-modifier ‘logic’ [also ‘suggestive’ for deriving precise formulas -then- extrapolating ‘new’ Models]. 

אֱלֹהִ֑ים – Aleph (אֱ) as ‘One’ -&- Lamed (לֹ) as a transformational preposition ‘To’ -or- ‘In the Direction of’ → concatenate into glyph (אֱלֹ) ‘causality’ – where (הִ֑) Heh as ‘the’ indicates a Predictive result (‘Law’ – אֱלֹהִ֑ – in Rabinic terms – Middat HaDin) – albeit (ים) ‘Yam’ is ‘sea’ -or- ‘ocean’ <both exemplary of concept: a ‘vast expanse’> IF detached; while here – as a suffix – denotes plural -AND- having a Sofit-letter-font form (ם) portrays a Limit <finite – not ‘endless’> ⇒ rendering a continuation of predicate (אֱלֹהִ֑) with a particular invoking [action & reaction; cause & effect; measure for measure; etc.:] of Bounded causal continuity (Function of variables) over a (model) Limited Very-Large (vast Domain or Range) expanse. [see concept explicating ‘threads’ https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/jaccuse-the-fall-and-rise-of-torah-true-education/]

אֵ֥ת – ETh (composite-glyph: Unit/one<אֵ֥1> with/to <ת400>Maximum) is a peculiar (unique) meta-logical Hebrew grammar particle – meaning: ‘for example’ wherein there is At Least One More example – which is/are Not Necessarily going to be listed ⇒ Otherwise ETh (אֵ֥ת) will not be invoked ⇒ since the item or items thereafter would comprise the entire Exemplary set.

הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם – Hah (הַ) as a preposition indicating ‘the’ – which then Logically Requires an antecedent basis ‘a’ -or- ‘an’ ⇒ having No Prior Reference in the [‘Traditional’ Authoritative] text! – (שָּׁ) Sh as a further compounding preposition indicates ‘which is’ – plus (מַ֖) Mem as another further continuation preposition ‘from’ → now becoming ‘the/that which is from’ (יִם) Yam [consistent with explication of same suffix in (אֱלֹהִ֑ים)] → moreover: (ם) Mem-Sofit is directionally asymmetric to the (מַ֖) Mem] ⇒ combining to portray ‘that which is from <a> great/vast limited expanse’ (limit: having a distant boundary) ⇒ what Modern parlance renders “Space” – presently Modeled as the domain [of Function(s)] having a limit -or- a distant boundary.

וְאֵ֥ת – Va (וְאֵ֥ת) normally translation-Simplifies prefix (וְ) as ‘and’ – ALBEIT contextually may imply ‘be-Cause’ -or- ‘by-Reason-of’ -or- ‘Therefore’ -or- ‘And’ (continuing a list of actions -or- objects) → with ETh (אֵ֥ת) <consistent with explication of same – above> ⇒ ambiguously renders both an implied listing and at least one Logical-or-Causal interaction with the prior “great/vast limited expanse”.

הָאָֽרֶץ – Hah (הַ) <as above in (הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם)>; Aleph (אֱ) <as above in (אֱלֹהִ֑ים)>; Ray (רֶ) <as above – the Transformation-process in (בָּרָ֣א)>; Tsade–Sofit (ץ) as a lesser limit than Mem-Sofit (ם) of Yam (יִם) → combined:  closely resembling ‘physical infrastructure’ aspect(s) → collectively giving limited structuration characteristics (within the great/vast expanse) ⇒ albeit typically (mis)translated as ‘earth’ → as if a ‘material substance’ – albeit Neither ‘soil’, Nor ‘planet Earth’.

Summary: בְּרֵאשִׁית Upon Initial Infinitesimal Startings – בָּרָא [emphasizing the current focal topic] Two Transforming-process into One – אֱלֹהִים a Limited <not ‘endless’> causation continuity – אֵת among examples <such as> – הַשָּׁמַיִם that which is from <a> great/vast limited expanse – וְאֵת and at least one Logical-or-Causal interaction among examples <such as> – הָאָרֶץ ‘physical infrastructure’ aspect(s)-…

תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ – “ToeHu vVoeHu”: Toe (תֹ֨) quantity-value 400 – Likewise MAXIMUM (numerical largest) of all Hebrew Letters; Hu (הוּ֙) Disorder, Chaos, Unformed; V (וָ) as ‘and’ (in a list of items) -or- ‘therefore’ -or- ‘because’ -or- ‘by-reason-of’; Voe (בֹ֔) as a prefix meaning ‘in’ -or- ‘at’; Huu (הוּ֙) <likewise/again> Disorder, Chaos, Unformed ⇒ THUS conceptually <in a cosmology context> the expression “ToeHu vVoeHu” describes Recursively Random (or aperiodic over all instantly interactive distances) :: which suggests “a random distribution of matter and/or energy and/or infrastructure in a very great/vast expanse of eventual boundary limited space” wherein any & every partition or section likewise is a random distribution; something like a hyper-quasi-crystalline structure having a Recursive higher-dimensional aperiodic Random distribution ‘therein’. AND IF YOU ARE reading this text as a Cosmology Starting Description THEN “Recursively Random” is a better ‘Best’ Model for characterizing Quantum Mechanical GROUND State → Actual absolute Zero! [as is its qualifier (וְחֹשֶׁךְ) ‘and/therefore/because Darkness’].

וַֽיְהִי־עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי־בֹ֖קֶר י֥וֹם אֶחָֽד ⇒ a declining reducing (ending) interval ‘Evening’ (עֶ֥רֶב) and/therefore/because/etc a growing expanding (starting) interval ‘Morning’ (בֹ֖קֶר) → thus a cosmological (י֥וֹם) Unit-One (אֶחָֽד) ⇒ with no conceptual Physics equivalent ⇒ whereas (וַֽיְהִי) ‘and-thus-because-etc’ prefixing an aspect of ‘Time, Tense, and Concept’ (יְהִי) is outside Our post-modern “precise measurements, controlled experiments, and many predictive formulas” (recall: initial paragraph – ABOVE).

>>Introduction<<

Appreciating (i) Pshat must attempt answering ⇒ BOTH: What it is -AND- Why it is here -AND- (ii) semiotics (inclusive!) Torat-Moshe uses words with awesome holographic consistency; [as a disoriented & perplexed amateur, my] slowly unpacking the first Torat-Moshe fragments (into Meaning-Position PAIRINGS) ‘perhaps’ highlighted some ‘Simple’ cosmology-creation insight(s) worthy of Your consideration.

Beyond Pshat ⇒ Phonetic vowel-variability (combinatorics) of Torat-Moshe Hebrew comprise a linear transcription merging: quasi-hieroglyphics concept fragments into abstract definition root-centric-words, having 7 prepositionals -and- ‘co-parsing’ ambiguity-resolving suffix-components (number, gender, and tense); interspersed with meta-logic ‘particle’ letter-pair-fragments -AND- is a dense quasi-mathematical-logic notation – akin to a reduced instructions set programming language for Parallel Process multi-Parsing – renders a readable articulation of (a) ‘traditional’ Authoritative ensemble of stories, morals, ethics, rules/concept-examples (Laws), etc. (which are studied, considered, analysed, and discussed from many different Externally-Observed vantages) – even in abstract ways (such as this exemplary technical cosmology: at-Beginning) -AND- of (b) more delicate detailed descriptions (2-Beginning – for ADULTS: PG-40) to appreciate modestly portraying ‘normal’ sequential male-development templates of anthology psychodrama episodes ⇒ accessible when Internally-Experienced! 

Perhaps a future Blog <of mine> will attempt delineating thesis-sufficient exemplary text-parallel (sequential male-development) considerations.

*NOW*, turning to a (בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית) parallel-parsing reading: Kindly contemplate … there seems to be no better Analogy (of a [2⇒1] Transformation-process) to convey (to us) the awesome cosmology/creation grandeur than human conception (where the ‘antecedent basis’ <parents> is discussed in much greater & explicit detail – somewhat later in Torat-Moshe text) -AND- no better Analogy (of  a [2⇒1] Transformation-process) to convey (to us) the awesome human conception grandeur (our respective ‘beginning’ starting with/from ‘TWO-initially’) than cosmology/creation ⇒ THUS, opening letter (ב) “BETh” conveys dual rich potential understanding insights → likewise the pedagogical nature of Our entire Torat-Moshe text: as densely-packed with delicate asymmetric continuing-companion-Analogy examples; which are Not Opposites, Nor Exactly Symmetric, Nor Dialectic, Nor Paradoxical, etc. ⇒ THIS being one unifying aspect enlightening us from Torat Moshe’s Late Bronze Age text (first “publication” – at Sinai); subsequently giving us a Unique (among primordial-memory nations) Ideational Orientation!
