Re-defined by each of many eyes

.
Ah, does blunt reality be truly re-defined by each of many eyes that see?

From my perch, partly bought by heritage, partly by grim sweat and toil too near to be forgotten, how much of full reality can I see?

It is helpful to take a peek above the trenches of everyday life occasionally, as without a better vision to guide a way out, trench life will be endless. And yes, putting one’s head above the trench is risky. Yet, with even a glimpse of what lies possible in the greater world, one can then more wisely choose which direction to dig the new trenches, toward better opportunities.

The order within disorder, the part of chaos that intelligence usually seeks, that is the question.

It recalls the concept of “Signal to Noise Ratio” that is a measure of communication channel accuracy in electronics. In fact, there are many parallels between electronic’s SNR and chaos theory. One narrows one’s range of vision (= bandwidth) to more clearly see what one seeks; and pattern filters let pour through that which resembles the pattern.

If things seem clear and well defined, little disruption ongoing, then Cause clearly points at expectable Effects.

Yet if the noise, the disarray, is greater than the signal, the Effects more clearly select out the true Causes. That is, the Effects define the Causes; thus a pattern filter model to parallel that effect from within the chaos, could be useful to filter out subsequent probable effects from amongst current chaos content.

Yet also to contrast, when a nutrient is put into water and stirred, the intent is to increase the chaos, make it all the same everywhere.

One’s purpose becomes the filter and the signal amongst the noise is the order within the disorder.

Yet through too tight a filter, noise slips through while masquerading as the sought signal. Is it really there?

Saying it again, maybe more coherently:

Ah, does blunt reality truly be re-defined by each of many eyes that see? From my own perch, bought partly by heritage, and partly by grim sweat and toil too near to be forgotten, how much of full reality can I see?

If things seem clear and well defined, so that very little disruption is found ongoing, then Cause clearly points at expectable Effects, nice and neat, by the rules.

Yet if the noise, the disarray, is far greater than the signal, then the observable Effects can more clearly select out their true Causes. That is, when the disorder, the noise, is overwhelming the orderliness signal, then from the Effects one can more clearly define the Causes. The larger view of chaos does contain the signal, and as an optical lens focuses a widely distributed signal pattern into a smaller more intense easily identified picture image, so also can the orginating causes be identified from amongst the disarray noise. Thus a pattern filter model to parallel that effect from within the chaos, could be useful to filter out subsequent probable effects from amongst current chaos content.

If I look too intensely amongst that wide loud noise, if my filter is too narrow, the part of the noise that matches my narrow filter comes through masquerading as if the sought signal. Is it really there?
