Qualities of the Unified
Field
All Possibilities: All possible worldsheet topologies and all possible
field histories contribute to the superstring partition function Z, which
embodies the complete dynamics of the quantized theory.
Omniscience: The partition function simultaneously computes all possible
world histories P and their associated actions *L(P) in determining the
quantum-mechanical evolution of the system.
Freedom: In the free-fermionic formulation, the unified field is comprised
of free, noninteracting bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom defined
on the superstring.
Unmanifest: The fundamental bosonic and fermionic string degrees of
freedom remain unmanifest—they do not appear as particles in the physical
spectrum.
Simplicity: The entire, diversified structure of natural law emerges
sequentially from the simple, unified dynamics of a relativistic quantum
string.
Omnipotence: The laws governing the dynamics of the unified field are
absolute and invincible. The low-energy effective field theories governing
physics at larger scales are merely partial reflections of, and approximations
to, the total potential of natural law available at the level of the superstring.
Total Potential of Natural Law: All the massive and massless string
modes are fully enlivened as dynamical degrees of freedom at the Planck
scale.
Discriminating: The boundary conditions of the 4-D string construction
discriminate among thousands of possible string vacua.
Fully Awake Within Itself: The zero-point motion (quantum fluctuations)
of the unified field reaches its ultimate level of dynamism at the Planck
scale.
Bountiful: The energy eigenspectrum of the quantized string field contains
an infinite tower of massive string modes in addition to all the massless
modes responsible for the observable universe.
Infinite Silence: Expressed by the noninteracting nature of the fundamental
string degrees of freedom.
Infinite Dynamism: Expressed by the dynamical interaction of all the
various fields appearing in the effective low-energy theories derived
from the superstring.
Pure Knowledge: The Lagrangian represents the most compact mathematical
expression of the complete structure of the laws of nature at every level.
Infinite Organizing Power: The Hamiltonian operator, derived from the
Lagrangian by a Legendre transformation, dynamically generates all activity
in the universe.
Evolutionary: The Hamiltonian operator generates the time evolution
of the universe.
Perfect Orderliness: Reflected in the superconformal invariance, local
supersymmetry, and gauge symmetries of the Lagrangian.
Self-Sufficiency: The structure and dynamics of the unified field is
sufficient within itself to initiate spontaneous gauge and supersymmetry
breaking radiatively, leading to the sequential unfoldment of the diversified
structure of natural law illustrated in the chart.
Purifying: Broken symmetries are successively restored at more fundamental
spacetime scales, ensuring the consistency and renormalizability of the
theory.
Infinite Creativity: The fountainhead of natural law—from this unified
source, all the particles and forces of nature emerge through a sequential
process of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
Integrating: The gravitino dynamically upholds local supersymmetry,
which integrates the different spin components of the various supermultiplets,
maintaining the unbroken wholeness of the superfields.
Harmonizing: Supersymmetry unifies completely opposite values—bose
and fermi fields—within the context of a single superfield.
Perfect Balance: Supersymmetry—the perfect balance of bosonic and fermionic
degrees of freedom.
Bliss: Expressed by the continuous effervescence of topological fluctuations
at the Planck scale (“spacetime foam”) spontaneously arising from the
nonperturbative dynamics of quantum gravity.
Self-Referral: The non-Abelian property of self-interaction of the
vector fields responsible for local gauge symmetry. This property of self-interaction
is also found in all the other spin components, including the graviton,
gravitino, chiral fermions, and scalar fields.
Unboundedness: The Poincaré invariance of the Lagrangian density.
Nourishing: A non-Abelian gauge field dynamically upholds the unified
structure of all its individual components.
Immortality: The time-translational invariance of the Lagrangian density.
Omnipresence: The translational invariance of the Lagrangian density
reveals that the total structure of the unified field is present everywhere,
and is not restricted by any finite boundaries.
Infinite Correlation: The seemingly fragmented structure of the Standard
Model arises from and reflects the infinite correlation and balance of
its unified origin in the superstring, giving rise to relations between
couplings, electric charge quantization, and freedom from gauge and gravitational
anomalies.
Invincibility: A non-Abelian gauge field dynamically upholds its own
invariance under local symmetry transformations.
All these beautiful, evolutionary qualities
of the unified field blossom in individual and collective life through
the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, which opens human awareness
to the direct experience of consciousness in its self-referral state,
pure consciousness, where consciousness is found identified with the unified
field of all the laws of nature.
The enlivenment of all these qualities
in world consciousness was profoundly demonstrated by the improved quality
of world events when 7,000 experts in the Maharishi Technology of the
Unified Field (approximately the square root of one percent of the world’s
population) gathered at Maharishi International University from December
17, 1983 to January 6, 1984. Over 35 scientific studies15,16
analyzing this and other, subsequent assemblies have rigorously verified
the practical formula to create a unified field based ideal civilization,
a civilization based on complete knowledge and practical utilization of
the unified field of natural law.
