I. Edgar Allan Poe

Many people find the literary science blend in Poe's prose poem
_Eureka_ difficult to digest. It certainly was for me the time it was
last read - about a decade ago
    Since then, my newfound fluency with hidden history and suppressed
science cleared things up and allowed the pieces of the former puzzle
to fall into place.
    A conformist mindset in high places obfuscated Poe for championing
individualistic intuitive leap, as exemplified by Kepler's use of a
"fairy guide, Imagination" to discover the laws of planetary motion.
Omission of intuitive leap as a valid scientific process kept the
status-quo's Aristotlean and neo-Platonic fetters firmly in place, as
exemplified by the bureaucratic Standard Model's so-called "god
particle."

_Eureka_'s first foray into foreshadowing what later became known as
hyperspace arrives in the form of a message in a bottle. The bottle's
found floating in Mare Tenebrarum. It contains a letter from an
alternate reality in the future; dated two thousand eight hundred and
forty-eight.
    The unknown letter writer lampoons the make believe notion of axiom
promulgated by a philosopher named Aries Tottle. An ever vigilant Aries
remains ready to ram his axiom fantasy into open minds.
    The enigmatic writer then segues to the fact fetish of Francis
"Shakespeare" Bacon [1]. The latter philosopher perhaps puts the "creep"
into into Poe's perception of the perverse creeping and crawling
confinement of the soul imposed by the twin tyranny of Scientism's
dialectic: induction or deduction - pick your poison.



II. Pilot Wave

Pilot Wave metaphysics, known formally as Bohmian Mechanics, was
developed during the 1920s. Einstein's view of quantum indeterminism
as a theorical choice rather than a fundamental principle inspired
Bohmian Mechanics.
    Bohmianism uses the famous Schrödinger equation in a manner
different from the Standard Model. The latter employs the wave-function
to probabilistically predict physical position. While Bohmian Mechanics
places the equation into a high-dimensional, or hyperspace, region.

    Even though the particles live in a three-dimensional space,
    normally represented by a Euclidean three-axis space, their
    positions can be represented in a much more convenient way
    as a single point in another space that is high-dimensional.
    This way, our Q is just a point in this high-dimensional
    space. We call this new high-dimensional space the
    'configuration space'. The configuration space is
    constructed in such a way that each of its dimensions
    represents a degree of freedom of the particle system. ...

    the realists interpret the wave-function as a physical
    field in configuration space because they rely on a
    process of reification of mathematical entities. ...

    The temporal development of the wave-function is given by
    the famous Schrödinger equation ...

    Wave-function realism regards the quantum wave-function as
    a high-dimensional field. ...

III. Perry Rhodan

PR269 "Hunt for the Time Agent" is one of my favorite novellas:

    "Are we going to remain in hyperspace forever, maybe turn
    into energy?"

    "You are already energy. The transmitter trap of the Masters
    expelled you into another plane of existence. You call it
    hyperspace or another universe." ...

    Harno and his three companions were drawn in to their native
    Milky Way. The universe and galaxies once more became cosmic
    clusters.

    But they were still located in normal space, unattainable
    for energy beings existing solely in hyperspace. ...

    "Here and now human beings take what they need directly from
    space. And they also live in space."

    Tako tried to comprehend Harno’s words, but it was difficult
    for him to completely understand their meaning. Was Harno
    commenting on a total spiritualization of the human race?
    Was it trying to indicate that human beings had given up
    their bodies because they had become superfluous?

In regards to spiritualization of the human race, my interpretation of
PR's IT collective is a Catholic communion of souls.
