The Duality and its Relationship with The Plurality
this is an Adviata Vedanta Hinduism argument *
The Duality is the premise that 'the particles' are on one-side of the equation (or the map), and 'the fields' are on the other-side. The particles are represented by Mass and Energy, and are co-dependent on the fields for their existence. The fields are represented by Space and Time, and are co-dependent on the particles for their existence. The particles give the fields a 'reason' to exist, and the fields give the particles a 'place' to exist. Neither side can exist without the other. They are mutually dependent upon each other for their very existence, and it is impossible to say which side manifested first ! The fields in size are vast, the particles in size are small.
The Plurality is the premise that there is an inherent component of Inertia in protons as well as a quanta of electric charge, whereas the electron is purely a quanta of electric charge and has no inherent Inertia component. This creates a fundamental incompatibility between protons and electrons and keeps them from combining and electrically neutralizing. It keeps them separate, but they remain 'charge attracted'! This is how and why we have Matter to begin with ! The Pauli Exclusion Principle describes protons as Bosons with a 'full unit of spin', whereas electrons are Fermions and have a 'one-half unit of spin'. Fermions and Bosons are not allowed to exist in the 'same space' at the 'same time'. This description explains why the atom requires so much spacial volume and why it is so vast and 'empty'. How the neutron will form from a temporary combination of a proton and an electron is still a big mystery, but they do, and yet the neutron will also spontaneously devolve back into a proton and an electron when alone and not in an atomic nucleus and is theorized to do so in about 12 to 14 minutes. The neutron does NOT represent a final 'charge equalization / charge neutralization' on the part of a proton and an electron; because, even in their long-term combination as a neutron in a long-lived atomic nucleus, the proton's Inertia component keeps them 'separate yet attracted', because when that neutron leaves the atomic nucleus it may again revert back into a proton and an electron after about 14 minutes in solitude, which is our 'experimental proof' of the above explanation.
The Plurality keeps the Duality from collapsing; by having the small particles (protons and electrons) be incompatible, so as to not collapse into charge equalization / charge neutralization, because on the 'small scale' this would remove the 'reason why' on the 'big scale' the Fields exist. And this explanation is why we have Matter to begin with!
The Duality keeps the Plurality from collapsing; by providing so much Space and so much Time on the 'big scale' that the irresistible force of gravity will never, ever, be able to draw 'everything' into 'one place' at 'one time' and force the Plurality on the 'small scale' into a charge equalization collapse, as theorized and represented by a Black Hole. And this is why we have a Universe to begin with!
Our Universe and our Reality are literally a 'house of cards', in which the Duality and the Plurality each contain a paradox, and in their resulting interaction of a "by each other's bootstraps" of holding each other up from collapsing, creates the universal mystery of how we have Matter for our 'vehicle' of Life, and a Universe in which that vehicle gets to Live.
[ Subsequent to the new viewpoint that 'Time' is a 'fictitious concept' in terms of the Real Physical World of Reality, Space itself would now be considered to be 'the Fields' or 'Field'. And since Mass and Energy, the 'Particles', which are now considered to simply be Energy, as Mass is a 'collateral constituent' of the Inertia component of how Energy can manifest as the Special State of Matter; Energy (the Particles) is what is now juxtaposed against Space (the Fields). The former description of "the Particles and the Fields" would be replaced with simply "Energy and Space" as the 'terms' in the equation. This 'equation' describes how both 'terms' exist in a mutual codependency and a codependent society for their very existence!!!
Rewritten as; "Energy gives Space a 'reason to exist' and Space gives Energy a 'place to exist' "!!
Dobson's great revelation is still the same!!! Only the description of the 'terms' in the equation have been re-defined, the equation itself remains unchanged!!!

* In the Spring of 2001 John L. Dobson had a dramatic vision and a grand inspiration. He received the ideas for the concept of "The Duality versus the Plurality"!! And he told us all about it in his annual series of Science Talks at the Vedanta Society's Southern California, Hollywood Temple location in Jan / Feb of 2002. John said at that time, ". . and I'd never seen things this way before!!! "
