John, This is so profound I don't even know how to comment intelligently. They need to have a new Academy of Philosophy of Science and make you the founding member. Would be appropriately circular. Thanks for this. Will have to reread more-than-once, I expect, to get all the under-the-covers thinking.

A lot of 90s physicists turned into mystics. You wouldn't be the first. If you don't want to go down that path you should avoid Herman Hesse novels, acid, and ancient Taoist texts. Imagining the noosphere as part of a physical deterministic universe (especially one with sympathetic vibration) is putting your toe in the water of metaphysics. This is not a criticism it's a cautionary tale.
