Nick Greaves
Nick Greaves did not work in academia. Instead he studied law at Trinity College Dublin which he found tedious, to then work become in Canada, London's West End, and finally the Thames valley as a chartered surveyor specialising in the development and management of commercial property, never having had to sell a house for someone else in his career. He was relieved to be able to retire from such venal pursuits in 2016, to concentrate instead on the development of a conjecture which had first occurred to him in 1977 when he took two years away from commerce to write a novel, never completed. However, during the time researching background for the story line in the wonderful reading room of the British Museum as it was then, he was amazed to ascertain that nobody knew much about the operation of mind and memory, other than very little was known for certain. The latter subject formed an essential element of the story line in the proposed narrative of the novel, which inspired him to continue researching when funds expired and he had to return to work in the Thames Valley to support a growing family. He was relieved to be able to retire from the latter in 2016, since when he has published about 16 papers and two books on the results of his research into what he now describes as Duplication Theory, but which also transpired in 1982 to be remarkably similar in a number of aspects to Rupert Sheldrake's first book on morphic resonance published in 1981, to their mutual surprise, and with whom he has continued to liaise. However his approach is based on memory's operation being based on principles of physics and the non local effects of quantum entanglement, rather than the biological evidence on which Sheldrake relies for his thesis of morphic resonance.

With reference to Wheeler and Feynman's Absorber theory, an assumption is made that the rim of the resulting bounded and spherical universe is expanding at light speed which mediates the behaviour of all EM radiation within to duplicate the action of the singular rim. For the latter, time will not exist at light speed but time will start to increase from zero the further within the sphere. The resulting conclusion is that the passage of time within the universe is governed by and directly related to the rate of its expansion. Speculation is made of the possible function of black holes in their possible capacity for storage of mass/energy to control the rate of expansion of the universe and hence the passing of time.
I anticipated that if this were possible, then any such new principle it might be applied in general terms to other phenomena, which has turned out to be the case. The implications and other applications of this principle, which I call Duplication Theory, have been examined in more detail in a few shorter papers posted on the this internet since mid 2017.
Part 1, which gave an explanation for memory. The key premise of the latter was consideration of the significance of equal or similar intervals in space that comprised the concept of order pattern and structure. This led to the notion that there might be involved a resonance through time effect as follows. “Equal intervals in one location-similar structures-tend to duplicate themselves through all time in that one location.” To this was added some observations of the apparent operation of eidetic memory or perfect recall. This is the ability to blank off any information coming in through the senses via perhaps a self induced trance state. The assumption described in the synopsis paper (Part 1) is that while in trance state, the neurons and synapses are firing as near randomly as possible, without any input of structured information from the external world. If then a certain specific structure of firing neurons is inserted as a memory instigator stored physically within the brain (possibly contained in DNA like structures) this then sets up a continuous sequence of recollected events experienced and observed from the past, by this e resonance process, until interrupted. Ordinary working memory is a short term truncated version of this to produce intervals of less detailed recall, but it is the trance state which is crucial here, as explained in detail by duplication theory. It has been demonstrated by experiment in 2013 that entanglement is possible across both space and time, to reinforce such a resonance through time process. It is assumed that ordered interference patterns are projected from the brain caused by electrochemical currents passing between the neurons and synapses. It is further assumed that that these create some form of highly structured holographic images of the observed external world melded in with recollections of similar images evoked by resonance. This would enable both vision and memorised images to be mixed together, which would present an outline in principle for the operation of thought and memory. If such a scenario were considered not impossible, then the mechanisms of the brain might be reversed engineered and artificial intelligence developed. Some further conjectures are made as to how separate minds might then be networked together and the possible results.
