Swimming in a Dirac Sea... and Spinning Past the 360 ZPE State of 'Empty/ Platonic' Space to 720/ o

from Google AI:

In Plato's philosophy, goodness, symmetry (symmetria), proportion (metron), and truth are intricately linked, forming the foundation of his aesthetics, metaphysics, and ethics. Plato argues that beauty and true reality arise from a perfect mixture of these elements, largely under the influence of Pythagorean thought, which viewed mathematical harmony as the structure of the cosmos.

Here is a breakdown of the relationships based on your query:

1. Beauty as Symmetry and Proportion

• The "Good Mixture": In the Philebus, Socrates states that "beauty and truth and proportion are the qualities which make a good mixture".
• Definition of Beauty: Plato identifies beauty not as a subjective feeling, but as a structural property of objects. It consists of order, symmetry, and proportion (often linked to the Golden Ratio in later interpretations).
• The Role of Proportion: A lack of proportion leads to deformity and ugliness.
• The Divine Shape: Plato considers the sphere the most perfect shape because it is the most symmetrical and "similar to itself," representing ideal, intelligible beauty. 

2. The Idea of the Good and Truth

• The Highest Form: The "Form of the Good" is the ultimate reality, the source of all value, and the "principle of beauty and truth".
• Illumination: Just as the sun illuminates the physical world, the Form of the Good provides truth to the intelligible world, making knowledge possible.
• The Role of Truth: Truth is considered the property of being in relation to our intellect, while symmetry represents the "true" image of the Form in the sensible world. 

3. The Union: Goodness, Beauty, and Truth

• Intrinsic Link: Plato believed that what is good is always beautiful, and the beautiful never lacks proportion.
• Integration of Life: Plato defines the good as threefold: good in the soul (virtue), good in the body (symmetry and endurance), and good in the external world (social harmony).
• Ethical Symmetry: Just as a body must be well-proportioned to be beautiful, the soul must be in a state of harmonious balance between its parts (reason, spirit, appetite) to be just. 

Summary: For Plato, a "good" life or object is one that mimics the divine, orderly nature of the cosmos, which is characterized by the harmonious, proportional, and truthful balance of its parts.

Excerpt from the video above quoting Dirac:

"It is more importnt to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment."
