The concept of BUAUAA can only be considered through certain hypotheses that require different semantic instruments, a logical basis different from the topics and thoughts of the various philosophical schools on EARTH. In an initial linguistic interpretation, the phoneme BUAUAAA, and the entity or ontological factor it attempts to represent or encode could be translated in the language of EARTH as: SOUL, SPIRIT, PSYCHE, or VITAL ENGINE. In reality, the concept we label as BUAUAA on UMMO has much more complex characteristics. It would not be simple to identify our idea of BUAUAA with the ideal image that the theodicist thinkers of your humanity, Christian theologians and scholastic psychologists have forged of the SPIRIT. Without a doubt, many characteristics assigned by us to the BUAUAA identify with the qualities that some of your thinkers attribute to the soul. Generally speaking, we know that the 'soul' we call BUAUAA is adimensional and therefore the factor or dimension TIME has no meaning for it. It is also indestructible and has the peculiarity of being GENERATED by WOA (GENERATOR OR GOD). There will surely appear a conflict with the ontologists of the EARTH when we assert that it cannot be ETERNAL since this concept automatically implies the temporal dimension. And the confusion for you will manifest even more if we assure using our logic which considers as NON-EXISTENT what the ontic chain does not include an IBOZOO UU (essence of the real, of the dimensional and therefore observable by physical means), and if we assert - we repeat - that the BUAUAA DOES NOT EXIST. For the animists of the EARTH, the SOUL is created at the moment of conception of a new human being, the soul will shape, with its free will, all the behavior of the man until his death. After this death, the soul continues to exist and is 'remodeled' by the creator, who sanctions it based on the line of conduct freely chosen by it.... (Forgive us for summarizing so tightly a psychotheological doctrine that we know to be much more complex: but we do not attempt to critique it and on the other hand we assume you to be informed of your own philosophical conceptions on this subject) Rather, we will try to sketch our own conceptions.
First of all, we distinguish between two classes of BEINGS existing in the UAANM (COSMOS) in contrast to two other major types of "NON-EXISTING ENTITIES". The latter are: AIOYAA AMMEIEE UAA such as WOAA -THE GENERATOR!- BUAUAA (HUMAN SPIRIT) BUAWEE BEIAEII -COLLECTIVE SPIRIT- or BUAUAA BAAIOO (SPIRIT OF LIVING BEING) and AIOYAA AMMEIEE OUEE (Such as: the content of information, the sensation of pleasure, or a popular tradition). The "EXISTING" ENTITIES whose essence is defined by IBOZOO UU, such as a rock, a virus, a star, or the flow of time, and which therefore allow an empirical avenue for analysis, we define as Existing: For us, the distance between two points or an interval of time has the same ontological nature as a crystal of antimony sulfide or a neuron. On the other hand, we see no distinction between the concepts stated unless it pertains to their complexity as a chain of IBOZOO UU, and in the content of the information that such structures possess. Undoubtedly, the distance between two solid celestial bodies is materialized by a NETWORK of IBOZOO UU, we do not conceive a straight line as a purely mathematical abstraction without its underlying basis of IBOZOO UU, as such an entelechy is not contained within the gnoseology of UMMO. But it is also true that an interval between two "moments" (we use the concept of moment here to facilitate our presentation, but it has no reality for us) possesses a structure of IBOZOO UU. Moreover, we can assure you that the aforementioned distance between celestial bodies would be interpreted by beings from another dimensional framework as a simple flow of UIW (unit of time) measured by its chronoscopy. A distance and a time interval constitute examples of CHAINS with the minimum possible information state. Conversely: for an equal number of IBOZOO UU involved, a volume of antimony sulfide possesses a complex structure that entails a greater degree of information. You must already be aware that the distinction made by Earth mathematicians between CONTINUOUS MAGNITUDES and CONCRETE OR DISCRETE MAGNITUDES is incorrect since it makes no sense to assign a character of continuous magnitude to distance, speed, time, etc. The "quanta" of speed, acceleration, length, etc., possess a distinct identity in the universe of AIOYAA beings (EXISTING). The degree of informational complexity defines these beings. As your own biological brothers on EARTH have very well sensed, VIRUSES (also known on Ummo) are AIOYAA, whose degree of complexity (this being defined by the amount of INFORMATION contained per unit of volume and mass) signifies a threshold between living and non-living beings. We prefer to call the former NEGATIVE ENTROPY or NEGENTROPIC and the latter POSITIVE ENTROPY because for us a LIVING BEING is a SOCIOIBOZOO NETWORK capable of enriching its content of INFORMATION "relative to its mass," structuring itself over time towards greater complexity. And why is this so? Simply because the IBOZOO UU that form the chain of TIME incorporate positively into its prior structure, changing their axes and permuting into discrete quantities of volume and mass. For living beings, the flow of TIME means nothing more than a "conversion" of a NETWORK of IBOZOO UU potentially linked to them as TIME MAGNITUDE into other MAGNITUDES (such as GRAVITATIONAL FIELD, MAGNETIC FIELD, ELECTROSTATIC FIELD, LENGTH, and MASS). By employing a rough but didactic comparison, you could translate this as the fact that LIVING BEINGS "feed" on the elapsed TIME, "digesting" and transforming, thanks to a curious metabolic mechanism, TIME into MASS and other "by-products". Here we observe an ADDITION process. In contrast, the entities such as argon molecules...
A meteoroid, or a microwave beam, is characterized by degrading its own complexity. This is what the physicists of EARTH have already observed when they define the laws of thermodynamics and formulate concepts such as ENTROPY and THERMAL DEGRADATION of the UNIVERSE, which have a slightly different meaning for us. Non-living entities are characterized because their own IBOZOO UU NETWORK undergoes a slow process of "rotation" in its "AXES". The chains of IBOZOO UU that previously had mass characteristics first degrade into energy with an increasing wavelength and eventually into TIME. According to this concept, the end of the UAAMM (COSMOS) would not be, as some human cosmologists of the Earth star presume, "a terrible ocean of thermal radiation," but rather a bewildering universe in which only TIME, as a dimension, would have its dwelling place, without any living or inert entity able to undergo its flow, "its arrow." But this is not precisely the end that awaits our WAAAM, as we will clarify for you on another occasion.
Before continuing: allow us, Señor Juan, to propose an educational model that makes the concepts stated so far more understandable. Naturally, this example should not be taken too literally as an image of reality, although it may help your brothers assimilate such ideas.
Imagine an immense plain, or perhaps a gigantic table, on which millions of playing cards have been spread evenly and symmetrically face down. For a single purpose, the player has dealt a long line of identical cards. Perhaps it is the ACE of CLUBS that among them has been placed face down. An observer flying a few decimeters above in an imaginary helicopter over the immense gaming table would observe only a large surface covered by the same color of the back of the cards and, as the dominant color note, the ACE of CLUBS, positively inverted. The cards represent the IBOZOO UU.
The hidden player can, under the table, make the vehicle's pilot believe that the card is "advancing," "running," on the table. With a wand and through openings in the table, by successively flipping over all the ACEs OF CLUBS that were on the table, placed in a row, taking care to fold back the cards turned over previously. If the player is skilled and does it at dizzying speed, the observer will have the optical illusion that our reference card skates or slides, when in reality none of the colored cards have moved from their original position.
But the player can take the joke even further. Each time he flips an ACE OF CLUBS, he also turns over an adjacent card, two in the second operation, three in the next... so that the observing pilot contemplates that the ACE OF CLUBS not only "slides" but also that all around it appears magically a whole polychromy of cards.
Perhaps the example would have been more illustrative by substituting, for the cards, polyhedra with multiple faces that would better represent IBOZOO UU, but this model would have lost its simplicity of explanation.
Why do beings: VIRUSES, PROTOZOA, PLANTS, HUMANS... enrich their informative complexity at the expense of the same TIME, and on the contrary, why do non-living entities such as a steel bar, a cloud of ammonia vapor, or a galaxy reduce (albeit at an extremely slow rate) their informational content? The explanation is none other than the BUAUAA, as we will inform you in another letter, Mr. Juan Dominguez Montes.
