Translation from CTMU content in this source. This exists here as a writing aid for other articles and I believe is fair use.[1]

CTMU Holistic reinterpretations of relativity, quantum and other modern scientific theories are found in paraphysics and esotericism.

CTMU Holistische Umdeutungen von Relativitäts-, Quanten- und anderen modernen naturwissenschaftlichen Theorien finden sich in Paraphysik und Esoterik.

These include the »geometrodynamics« of John Wheeler.

Zu nennen sind unter anderem die »Geometrodynamik« von John Wheeler.

a reformulation of the general theory of relativity, or the so-called »Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe« (CTMU) of a certain Christopher Langan.

einer Umformulierung der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie oder das sogennante »Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe« (CTMU) eines gewissen Christopher Langan.

This theory of a contemporary classical paraphysicist shows how paraphysics ties in with more recent developments in institutional science.

An dieser Theorie eines zeitgenössischen Paraphysikers lässt sich zeigen, wie die Paraphysik an neuere Entwicklungen der institutionellen Wissenschaft anschließt.

Langan is an outsider scientist who draws attention to himself primarily through his self-staging. (On his biography and self-stylization see chapter 6 of this paper).

Langan ist ein Außenseiter-Wissenschaftler, der vor allem durch seine Selbstinszenierung auf sich aufmerksam macht. (Zu seiner Biographie und Selbststilisierung siehe Kapitel dieser Arbeit.)

In several writings, mainly in a 56-page paper161, Langan presents the CTMU, which is supposed to be a Theory of Everything, i.e. a comprehensive explanation of the origin and functioning of the universe, something that physicists like Stephen Hawking long for in public books.

In mehreren Schriften, maßgeblich ineinem -seitigen Paper legt Langan die CTMU vor, die eine Theory of Everything darstellen soll, also eine umfassende Erklärung für das Entstehen und das Funktionieren des Universums, also etwas, das Physiker wie Stephen Hawking in Publikumsbüchern herbeisehnen.

Langan claims to be able to read large aporias of science, such as the incompatibility of quantum mechanics and relativity, the resolution of the contradiction between chance and determinism, the question of the irreversibility of time, the acceleration of the expansion of the universe.

Langan gibt vor, große Aporien der Wissenschaft lösen zu können, wie die Unvereinbarkeit von Quantenmechanik und Relativitätstheorie, die Auflösung des Widerspruchs zwischen Zufall und Determinismus, die Frage der Unumkehrbarkeit der Zeit, die Beschleunigung der Ausdehnung des Universums.

He wants to put an end to mind-matter dualism (as has been tried or done many times in the history of science) and, what particularly concerns him, he wants to formulate a critique of Darwin's theory of evolution based on chance or contingency, which he wants to put on a physical-cosmological basis.

Er will den Geist-Materie-Dualismus beenden (wie in der Wis-senschaftsgeschichte bereits vielfach versucht oder getan) und, was ihn besonders umtreibt, er will eine Kritik der auf Zufall oder Kontingenz bauenden Darwinschen Evolutionstheorie formulieren, die er auf eine physikalisch-kosmologische Grundlage stellen möchte.

His complex representation has essentially the goal of defining the universe as a self-perceiving and processing system that writes its own rules for further development and processing and finally produces its own interpretation.

Seine komplexe Darstellung hat im Wesentlichen das Ziel, das Universum als sich selbst perzipierendes und prozessierendes System zu bestimmen, das seine eigenen Regeln zu Weiterentwicklung und Prozessierung schreibt und schließlich seine eigene Deutung hervorbringt.

The model of the universe, according to Langan, must be a model of perception.

Das Modell des Universums, so Langan, müsse ein Modell der Perzeption sein.

The preservation of the Perception is information, which is therefore the subject of Langan's theory, and which must be modelled in such a way that it contains the possibility of self-reflection and self-expression.

Die Währung der Perzeption sei Information, die demzufolge Gegenstand von Langans Theorie ist, und die so modelliert werden müsse, dass sie die Möglichkeit der Selbstreflexion und Selbsthervorbringung enthalte.

The CTMU defines the universe or reality as »Self-Configuring Self-Processing Language«162, a reflexive language characterized not only by self-referencing and recursive self-definition, but also by complete self-configuration and self-execution (»reflexive read-write functionality«163 expressed in IT terms).

Die CTMU definiert das Universum oder die Realität als »Self-Configuring Self-Processing Language«, eine reflexive Sprache, die nicht nur durch Selbstreferenz und rekursive Selbstdefinition charakterisiert ist, sondern durch die vollständige Selbstkonfiguration und Selbst-Ausführung (»reflexive read-write functionality« in IT-Begriffen ausgedrückt).

Information should be a union of matter and spirit, and the idea of self-regulation should guarantee that there is no determinism.

Information soll dabei eine Vereinigung von Materie und Geist sein, und die Vorstellung der Selbst-Regelgebung soll garantieren, dass es keinen Determinismus gebe.

For determinism, according to Langan, is always foreign determinism from outside the system; the self-determinism advocated by Langan, on the other hand, regulates the supposed easiness in quantum mechanics and evolution.

Denn Determinismus sei immer, so Langan, Fremd-Determinismus von außerhalb des Systems; der von Langan vertretene Selbstdeterminismus regele dagegen die vermeintliche Zufälligkeit in Quantenmechanik und Evolution.

True chance is rejected by Langan as »magic«.

Echter Zufall wird von Langan als »Magie« abgelehnt.

The self-genesis of the universe is to serve as a foil for the biological theory of evolution.

Die Selbsthervorbringung des Universums soll als Folie für die biologische Evolutionstheorie dienen.

Insofar as the universe writes its own framework conditions, Langan can reformulate the concept of Intelligent Design.

Insofern also das Universum sich seine eigenen Rahmenbedingungen schreibt, könne Langan das Konzept des Intelligent Design neu formulieren.

Intelligent Design, i.e. the assumption that an intelligent creator initiated the creation of the universe in 164 and supervised and controlled the further development and also the biological evolution.

Intelligent Design, also die Annahme, dass ein intelligenter Schöpfer die Entstehung des Universums in Gang gesetzt hat und die Weiterentwicklung und auch die biologische Evolution betreut und steuert.

This intelligent creation could be explained as being the universe itself.

Dieses intelligente Schöpfung könne so erklärt werden, dass sie das Universum selbst sei.

Langan's general concept is no different from common modern theories such as cybernetics and systems theory, and the idea of a world that recognizes itself over time is even reminiscent of Hegel's unfolding of the world spirit.

Das generelle Konzept Langans unterscheidet sich nicht von gängigen modernen Theorien wie Kybernetik und Systemtheorie, und die Vorstellung der sich im Laufe der Zeit selbst erkennenden Welt gemahnt gar an Hegels Entfaltung des Weltgeistes.

He explicitly refers to the aforementioned John Wheeler, the originator of geometrodynamics.

Explizit bezieht er sich auf den eben erwähnten John Wheeler, den Urheber der Geometrodynamik.

It also seems revealing that such a current paraphysical theory is based on the relatively new concept of unfolded information.

Auch erscheint es aufschlussreich, dass eine so aktuelle paraphysikalische Theorie sich am relativ jungen Informations-Begriff entfaltet.

Hello, came here from the redirection discussion where you'd quoted this translation. No, that should be more like "It also seems revealing that such a current paraphysical theory revolves [lit.: "unfolds itself"] around the relatively new concept of information." That is, "entfaltet" refers back to "itself", i.e. "the theory", not the immediately preceding "concept of information". Not, I suppose, that it matters; the discussion is over. (Hope you didn't pay much more than a fiver for that translation...) --CRConrad (talk) 15:10, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The main difference between recognized theories and the CTMU is the lack of academic acceptance, on the one hand, and full-bodied announcements and comprehensive claims on the other.

Der Unterschied zwischen anerkannten Theorien und der CTMU besteht einerseits in der mangelnden akademischen Akzeptanz, andererseits in den vollmundigen Ankündigungen und im umfassenden Anspruch.

The focus on the topic of Intelligent Design is set in the context that Langan appears as a critic of Darwin and has at least placed an essay in a Christian American creationist anthology.

Die Kaprizierung auf das Thema des Intelligent Design steht in dem Kontext, dass Langan als Darwin-Kritiker auftritt und zumindest einen Aufsatz in einem christlichen amerikanischen Kreationisten-Sammelband platziert hat.

His theory makes the God unavailable to physics obsolete.

Dabei macht seine Theorie ja den der Physik unverfügbaren Gott obsolet.

But Langan revives it in so far as theology and spirituality are the results of the self-design of the universe.

Langan lässt ihn aber insofern aufleben, als Theologie und Spiritualität Ergebnisse des Selbst-Designs des Universums seien.

Pseudo-science and parascience are thus terms for raising the scientific status of modern esoteric teachings.

Pseudowissenschaft und Parawissenschaft sind also Begriffe, um den wissenschaftlichen Status moderner esoterischer Lehren zu erheben.

The term parascience, which marks a spatial relationship to the sciences, is more often used in apologetic contexts, whereas the term pseudoscience is used in ›debunking‹ (exposing) approaches.

Der Terminus Parawissenschaft, der eine räumliches Verhältnis zu den Wissenschaften markiert, wird dabei häufiger in apologetischen Zusammenhängen verwendet, der Begriff Pseudowissenschaft dagegen in ›debunkenden‹ (entlarvenden) Ansätzen.

Under the term pseudoscience rather characterological properties and persuasion strategies are described, while the concept of para-science aims to point to historical parallel developments and an epistemically equivalent status.

Unter dem Pseudowissenschaftsbegriff werden eher charakterologische Eigenschaften und Überzeungungsstrategien beschrieben, während der Parawissenschaftsbegriff auf historische Parallelentwicklungen und einen epistemisch gleichwertigen Status hinweisen will.

The CTMU just mentioned, with its connections to computer and cybernetic knowledge, is a relevant example, which at the same time embodies a connecting line to the next chapter, which is devoted to the spiritual interpretation of technology.

Die eben erwähnte CTMU stellt mit ihren Anschlüssen an informatisches und kybernetisches Wissen ein einschlägiges Beispiel dar, das zugleich eine Verbindungslinie zum nächsten Kapitel verkörpert, welches sich der spirituellen Deutung von Technologie zuwendet.
