Preface

The whole is greater than the sum of the parts

-Aristotle 340 BC

Technology has created the fantastic opportunity for the potential of us assimilating into a collective consciousnesses.

Life and the universe that holds it is fractal by nature, the small effects the large, everything is layered, with macro layers depending on the micro (sub) layers below

When a particular combination of the variables align new macro layers form and exponential progress of the sub layer is achieved.

Examples of this:

• Advanced hunting tools → brain size - circa 2 million years BC
• Medicine and agriculture → human population - circa 1600
• Technology → Number of transistors on a silicon chip - circa 1965
• Summary

So we demonstrated with the above that exponential progress is achieved under the right conditions. The question now is what condition are required for us to continue this exponential growth, however in this case optimising for alignment, togetherness and oneness.

Advances such as the internet, decentralisation and machine learning will play a key role in this renaissance. A unifying of spirituality and science.

The NYX loop 1.0

At The NYX we are attempting to achieve optimal human experience whilst generating a sustainable economic model.

By welcoming a diversity of disciplines we aim not only inspire each other with our respective passions but also leverage cross overs in a kind of ‘cross pollination of ideas’.

Read more about how passion is a foundation for the premise behind our community here

• Example of idea cross pollination - Using mycelium as a material to build acoustic panels.

At it’s core The NYX loop is a relatively simple feedback loop.

1. γ - Humans create art

   1.a Art → Art:

   Art inspires other ‘artists’

   1.b Art → Science:

   Art inspires problem solvers

   Here art is a broad term used to describe any original creative expression

2. α- Science allows for problem solving - a key ingredient in human progression as it allows for the formation of knowledge and technology.

   2.a Science → Science:

   Solution to, some problem A assists in (is a component of) the solution to some problem B

   2.b Science → Personal Development:

   Problem solving (science) allows for a deeper understanding of consciousness via psychology and neuroscience, creating a better understanding of the self.

   It also allows us to understand more about what makes us healthier and on the contrary, unhealthier.

   2.c Science → Environment:

   Science allows us to study the environment which in turn allows us to create one which is more optimal and sustainable.

3. β - Environment → Art:

   δ - Personal Development → Art:

   From achieving a better self and a more optimal environment we are able to be more creative, generating more original art forms.

4. The cycle repeats and generates exponential progress
