4. Matrix control
In orders (arrangements) of mutually nested matrices of Objective reality, specific matrices could be identified and distinguished, each of which may predetermine the flow of characteristically different processes: physical, biological, social. Matrices determining the flow of exclusively social processes, are of particular interest for the fate of the society, since alteration of such matrices is direct or indirect alteration of fate of peoples, civilizations and humanity as a whole.
In both worldviews described earlier, a “matrix” plays the role of a program of a multi-optional algorithm, within the course of which humanity develops its culture[6]. Under the influence of culture, in which grows a person possessing some genetic potential of development, conscious habits and unconscious behaviour automatisms are produced, as well as a person’s opinions on phenomena in his internal and external world. Unconscious automatisms of mental activity are a dominant of internal and externally observable behaviour of a person in the objective reality, and are due to limited capabilities of the human concious: to simultaneously hold no more than 7-9 objects or processes, and digest information at a rate not higher than 15-16 bits per second[7] in a normal state of wakefulness.
Sometimes (like in a number of works by L.N. Gumilev on ethnogenesis) these unconscious automatisms are called “stereotypes”. Their essence could be consciously identified and classified as “good” or “evil” in certain life circumstances. Uncertainty of behaviour stereotypes and undetermined relation to various phenomena of the Objective reality, as well as unwillingness to determine their ethical essence “good — evil” in relation to God’s Providence, is one of the main signs of the fact, that the life of humanity flows in a course of some anti-human matrix. This matrix forms a certain type of culture, the anti-human essence of which is protected by its owners from being identified with various direct and indirect taboos on perception of it. Such stereotypes create internally conflicting algorithms of mental activity of individuals and the society as a whole, which manifests in various mental and psychosomatic illnesses, high accident rates, traumas, and other troubles, intrinsic to the lifestyle of the current civilization.
That is why it is not only possible, but vitally necessary to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of any particular matrix, and the culture created by it[8]. The exit from one matrix inevitably means transfer to another matrix with a different type of culture.
Accordingly, there exists a type of power, not seen by traditional politology and, therefore, laying outside of its understanding, which is nevertheless inseparably connected to processes, which take place in the world (reality) of matrices-predeterminations. Firstly, it is a subordination of the society to some matrix or some group of matrices. Secondly, it is a power over the society of those, who are capable of destruction, transformation and creation of previously non-manifested particular matrices, that predetermine the life of societies within the All-enclosing Matrix — God’s Predetermination.
If the content of such a matrix is described, this description becomes a conception of life of the society — a certain ideal and a set of means, by which this ideal could be brought into life. Accordingly, power based on control of matrix processes has been called the conceptual power by us for many years.
It should be understood that a conception of life of the society is not an ideology. Ideology is not always an expression of a conception, but is one of the means of implementing a conception into life. In the human history, all of the most sophisticated slavery systems were covered by ideologies of freeing people from oppression and exploitation. But slavery was still the essence of those conceptions which, while being covered by ideological systems of freedom, have remained the same for many centuries and also managed to changed several ideological shells. A conception of life of a society is not its acting legislation or legislative projects. Any legislation is only the border- or frontlines, at which one conception protects itself from implementation in the same society of another one, incompatible with the first.
But if someone has assumed, that the Internal Predictor of USSR has secretly decided to tie the notion of “conceptual power” with what the movie “The Matrix” has revealed to its participants, then they should look-up the works of IP USSR “Dead Water” (in all editions from 1991 to present), to the unfinished work “Towards the Kingdom of God on Earth” and should read, what is stated there directly and unambiguously about matrices-predeterminations and about the conceptual power; stated not in a figurative form of fictional film, which every person will understand in their own way.
According to the storyline of the film, if the heroes have really escaped from under the power of the “Matrix”-machine into freedom, unlimited by anything or anyone, then their boundlessly free imagination should allow every one of them (especially all of them collectively) to create a new maximally enclosing matrix of higher order, from which they could without any theatrical effects “nullify” or transform the matrix, in which exists the machine system, named the “Matrix”, from the control of which they supposedly escaped into the “real world”.
Entering the world created by any nested matrix from an enclosing matrix of higher order, it is enough to declare[9] all enemies non-existent, powerless, or transformed in some other way; to declare oneself invisible and almighty (initially immortal and invulnerable in the world, the matter of which fills the cells of the nested matrix). After that, all the theatrical effects of shooting, fighting, disappearances via telephone lines, and tragic impossibility of escaping the pursuer would be unnecessary by, instead, dispersing into thin air; or leaving them, along with their “Matrix” dreams, by disappearing through a mobile line connection. All these special effects for the general public become completely unnecessary, when actually entering a process, if not from an enclosing matrix, then at least from an alternative matrix of the same order; such things could be hardly considered entertainment with the aim of gaining some pleasure.
Such control processes, based on the interaction of nested matrices of life from the enclosing matrix, were clearly demonstrated to Anderson-Neo by so-called “agents”. When Neo, arrested, was demanding his rights and asking for the phone, the “agents” declared him mute and, under the influence of this high-level programming language operator, which called the execution of many low-level commands, Neo’s mouth was quickly tightened. But the “agents”, in the world created by their matrix, also do not appear boundlessly free. If they were, then they would not need to convince Anderson-Neo to cooperate with them: they would simply reprogram his psyche in such a way, that he would become a “citizen” entirely loyal to the system, or would plug all “holes” in their matrix and would hack “Zion” servers themselves without Neo’s help. Creators of the film do have some understanding (most likely unconscious) about these kinds of possibilities of matrix transformations of reality, since by using exactly them, the “agents” tried to catch the “Nebuchadnezzar’s” crew, having transformed a normal building fabricated by the “Matrix” into a “stone bag” with no doors or windows. But this episode is only one significant moment, pointing to the objective existence of the All-enclosing matrix of Highest Predetermination, which nobody can break.
When considering all these matrixial (in the most general sense of this word) interrelations and operations, we have also mentioned matter, which fills any matrix, and information, which gives the matter, filling matrices, certain images. In other words, the World, in the worldview of the Kingdom of God on Earth, appears as the tri-unity: “matrix — matter — information”.
In relation to the pair “matter — information”, the matrix — is God’s Predetermination of life, i.e. the measure of development. The sixth sense of every person, regardless of whether they are “normal” or an “extrasense”, is the sense of measure — direct sense of God’s Predetermination (the level of development of this sense in different people and how attentive they are to it is a different question).
In relation to matter, matrix is really the matrix of possible states of matter and possible transitions from one state to another through certain transformations.
“There is no thing without an image”, says a Russian proverb. It could be expanded: there is no matter without an image, given by a certain matrix. An image is information.
In relation to information, matrix is a measure of file — a system of encoding of information. As commonly known, information outwidth of encoding systems does not exist.
However, in this set of maximally general categories “matrix (Predetermination, measure of life) — matter — information” there is no place for neither space, nor time. Why, while describing the world in terms of the tri-unity “matter — information — measure” it is possible to omit these, seemingly inevitable, notions? — For the sole reason that:
Measure of spaces and co-measure-ment of times is only one of the parts of the matrix-predetermination. Accordingly, space and time (so-called “space-time continuum” in the theory of relativity) are secondary in relation to matrix and do not exist without matter and information, which fill the matrix; in life, space and time of microcosm and macrocosm worlds are secondary consequences of the matrix-predetermination of life.
