Mathematics and the Psychedelic Revolution
Recollections of the impact of the psychedelic revolution on the history of mathematics by Ralph Abraham, Ph.D.
In these amazing papers published on MAPS, Abraham tells the stories of his " Trialogues " with Terence McKenna and Rupert Sheldrake and also his supposed revolutionary role in the psychedelic history of mathematics in the 1960s, and the origin of chaos theory.
“This is a hyperdimensional space full of meaning and wisdom and beauty, which feels more real than ordinary reality, and to which we have returned many times over the years, for instruction and pleasure. In the course of the next twenty years there were various steps I took to explore the connection between mathematics and the logos. About the time that chaos theory was discovered by the scientific community, and the chaos revolution began in 1978, I apprenticed myself to a neurophysiologist and tried to construct brain models made out of the basic objects of chaos theory. I built a vibrating fluid machine to visualize vibrations in transparent media, because I felt on the basis of direct experience that the Hindu metaphor of vibrations was important and valuable. I felt that we could learn more about consciousness,communication, resonance, and the emergence of form and pattern in the physical, biological, social and intellectual worlds, through actually watching vibrations in transparent media ordinarily invisible, and making them visible.”
