The world viewed from within

Rossler’s book examines how the perspective of an observer embedded in a chaotic world might shape what can be understood about that world. Using the idea of an interface as a point of departure, it raises questions about which features are accessible only from the inside and how computer models might help investigate them. The discussion connects chaos theory, including the Lorenzian butterfly, with questions about quantum mechanics and the possibility of manipulating a micro-interface. Its subject is the limits of observation: how the world appears from within, and what an outside perspective might reveal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in foundational questions in physics and chaos theory.
  • Readers curious about observer perspectives, interfaces, and questions surrounding quantum mechanics.

Book overview

What do yin-yang and the Lorenzian butterfly in chaos have in common? The outside perspective. Only by going very far outside - beyond the end of the world - do certain aspects of the world become intelligible. The computer makes it possible today to go after the interface. What does the world look like if you are an internally chaotic part? Is the world just a difference, an interface, a forcing function? Is it possible to identify those features which exist only from the inside? How far does the meta-unmaskability go? Is quantum mechanics a virtual reality? Can the micro-interface be manipulated? Such questions are tackled in this fascinating book.
