Abstract:
The material universe is a gigantic machine, a computer, whose hardware exists in the form of non-spatial feelings or states of consciousness. The workings of this non-spatial universal computer are described in my NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory. The NSTP theory is based on 7 self-evident propositions and 3 conjectures. It thus provides a concrete mathematical basis for metaphysical idealism and brings out a non-spatial computational description of the material universe. The NSTP theory self-evidently states matter as non-spatial and the new revolutionary (universal) mechanics as non-spatial (computational). It portrays non-spatial (computational universal) mechanics and further proposes the 21st century revolution in science and physics.

Abstract:
The NSTP theory is a (philosophy of mind) semi-idealistic as well as semi-dualistic theory that the material universe, where some peculiar phenomena like quantum non-locality exist in, is exclusively a group of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thinking processes existing in the form of (non-spatial physical/material) feelings (i.e. states of consciousness). In computer terminology, it regards the (material) universe as a non-spatial computer, with hardware of (non-spatial) feelings and software of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thoughts/ideas, including those of space, which is then an illusive/virtual/merely apparent entity. The mere existence of the superhuman thoughts is responsible for the empirical (i.e. a posteriori) order in the non-superhuman ones. The theory, however, accepts the possibility of the reality of space, the space where the phenomena like quantum non-locality do not exist in. The theory is constituted of 6 axioms, 1 theorem, and 3 conjectures. The key strength and novelty in the theory lies in its axiomatic/self-evident foundation, its innovative semi-idealism and semi-dualism, its idea of superhuman states of consciousness, its computational description of idealism, and, in general, its road to idealism and dualism.

Abstract:
The UQV theory is a metaphysical theory that the universe is the consequence of the ultimate questioner's vanity. This theory builds on the NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) theoretical metaphysical semi-solipsism, the position, which specifically regards the NSTP theoretical superhuman mind as a personal philosophical questioning supermind. The UQV theory further speculates the existence of the ultimate questioner, which, existing logically/conceptually beyond the superhuman mind, initiated the existence of my NSTP in order to ask an apparently unanswerable (philosophical) question about the nature of its own existence. And since the NSTP is extremely orderly and deterministic, the ultimate questioner already knows if the NSTP would or would not answer the question. Therefore, the theory states that the universe, which includes my NSTP, and possibly the superhuman mind, and even the necessary truths, is the product/consequence of the ultimate questioner's vanity, the vanity of its own existence and intelligence. The theory is constituted of one postulate, one law, and three conjectures.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to describe that 'it is self-evident that consciousness is non-spatial'; that is, 'consciousness can be represented by no spatial structure'. It considers the example of the consciousness of bodily pain, which is stated to be conceptually distinct from its bodily counterpart, i.e. identification of some electrochemical signal in brain, as a self-evident fact. This example is just a matter of illustration and is not meant to be the justification/basis of the self-evident non-spatiality of consciousness, as no self-evident truth needs justification. Further it is argued that a reader's possible denial of the self-evident non-spatiality of consciousness is, in fact, their inability to understand the truth due to the relatively profound concepts involved in it; as a simple self-evident mathematical proposition, like if p implies q and if p is true then q is true, may not be self-evidently comprehensible to a person of extremely poor intellect. The self-evident proposition that 'consciousness is non-spatial' is one of the six self-evident propositions that form the axiomatic/self-evident foundation of the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory.

Abstract:
The superhyperbolic doubt is the principle that 'anything may be possible', for that which could otherwise be believed to be absolutely (or 100%) certainly impossible at present could be possible as the intellectual capacities of the believer may be limited. That is, the proposition/s, for example, that are otherwise thought to be absolutely certainly true could be false. The superhyperbolic doubt is compared and attempted to shown to be superior to the hyperbolic Cartesian doubt and the idea/proposition that 'anything is possible'. Furthermore, its implications are stated and discussed, the implications like 'all axioms as 99.99% certainly true' and 'all mathematics as philosophy'. Since the superhyperbolic doubt is the first and the most basic principle of my superultramodern science and philosophy, it could also be referred to as the superultramodern doubt.

Abstract:
The term Superconmath means Superconceptual Mathematics. It is a meta-mathematical system that defines the structure of Superultramodern Mathematical Science. Superconmath proposes that the conventional (i.e. pre-superultramodern or modern/ultramodern) mathematical science is not as conceptual as it should be. In other words, it has conceptual deficiencies, in nature as well as in approach. Superconmath has five main components:
1.Superconceptual Definition of Mathematics
2.Philosophy as Mathematics
3.Superconceptual Foundations of Pure mathematics
4.Superconceptual Reconstruction of Pure Mathematics
5.Superconceptual mathematical Resolution of Modern/Ultramodern Mathematical Problems
This work states each of the five components, in brief.

Abstract:
The superultramodern quotations mostly, if not exclusively, represent the principles of superultramodern science and philosophy. These quotations attempt to bring out the superultramodern scientific and philosophical ideas in, more or less, an artistic fashion. For example, a conceptual implication of the UQV (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) theory is expressed with the quote: In the midst of excitement, grief, joy, and solitude, I remind myself every moment that the sole mission of my life is to find the ultimate questioner - that unimaginable who has put me in this madness to answer an unanswerable question. A painstaking study of these quotations could be highly beneficial in understanding superultramodern science and philosophy.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to show that the UQV (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) theory represents a new type of neo-creationism which can be named as Semi-Solipsistic Idealistic Neo-Creationism. The UQV theory is a neo-creationistic theory since it states that the universe is the consequence of the ultimate questioner's (which could mean to be a new definition of God, the creator) vanity. The theory is also (metaphysical) semi-solipsistic since it argues that this ultimate questioner and the author of the theory are the only minds as well as real (material) things that exist. The theory, therefore, brings forth (metaphysical) Semi-Solipsistic Idealism and Semi-Solipsistic Idealistic Neo-Creationism.

Abstract:
According to the UQV (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) theory, the universe consists of only two entities: The ultimate questioner, which can also be referred to as God, and me, i.e. Kedar Joshi. All other apparently conscious/living entities I see, e.g. you, or anyone else, are mere spatial images, nothing else. God created me in order to ask me a question, which is probably the ultimate/the most difficult amongst all possible questions. The question is What is the nature of existence of God Himself/Itself? Every non-necessary entity, i.e. any entity that doesn't have to be, must have been created by some non-necessary creator entity/ies. But since God - the ultimate questioner - is, by definition, the ultimate entity, it has no creator entity, i.e. it, still apparently being a non-necessary entity, was never created. This seeming paradox is the seemingly unanswerable question I've been created to solve/resolve. And since God has planned my entire life He knows anyway whether I would finally answer the question or not. So He has no other purpose than His vanity, His desire to be known and be extremely praised, to create me to ask the question.

Abstract:
This work attempts to argue that astrological phenomena (i.e. things happening in accordance with astrological predictions) can only be explained by (philosophy of mind) idealism. In other words, astrological phenomena happen because of some non-spatial mechanism. Astrology, in particular Indian (Vedic) astrology, is empirically convincing and thus true/valid. However, its conventional spatial mechanistic explanation (that the astrological phenomena are caused by some rays emitted by the planets) is flawed. Further, it can be conjectured that no valid spatial mechanistic explanation can be provided. Therefore, in such case, only a (valid) non-spatial mechanistic (i.e. idealistic) explanation can be given. And one such explanation is the NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) theory, which also explains phenomena like quantum non-locality. Then, finally, the planets (more accurately, the astrological planets) stand as mere conceptual indicators in the non-spatial universal program.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to bring out "semi-idealistic + semi-dualistic metaphysics" through the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory. The NSTP theory is a (philosophy of mind) semi-idealistic as well as semi-dualistic theory that the material universe, where some peculiar phenomena like quantum non-locality exist in, is exclusively a group of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thinking processes existing in the form of (non-spatial physical/material) feelings (i.e. states of consciousness). In computer terminology, it regards the (material) universe as a non-spatial computer, with hardware of (non-spatial) feelings and software of superhuman as well as non-superhuman thoughts/ideas, including those of space, which is then an illusive/virtual/merely apparent entity. The mere existence of the superhuman thoughts is responsible for the empirical (i.e. a posteriori) order in the non-superhuman ones. The theory, however, accepts the possibility of the reality of space, the space where the phenomena like quantum non-locality do not exist in. The theory is constituted of 6 axioms, 1 theorem, and 3 conjectures. The key strength and novelty in the theory lies in its axiomatic/self-evident foundation, its innovative semi-idealism and semi-dualism, its idea of superhuman states of consciousness, its computational description of idealism, and, in general, its road to idealism and dualism.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to describe Superultramodern Science and Philosophy. The word superultramodern, meaning above, beyond, or next to ultramodern, was coined by the author, Kedar Joshi, in 2005 in his book Superultramodern Science and Philosophy. The terms superultramodern science and philosophy relate to the same system of thoughts, the system, which, originated by the author, would conventionally appear to be philosophical and is argued to be scientific. The system is constituted of 10 main components viz.

1.The Superhyperbolic Doubt, the principle, anything may be possible, for that which would otherwise be believed to be absolutely (i.e. 100%) certainly impossible could rather be possible since the intellectual capacities of the believer may be limited.

2.Science = Philosophy, a position, based on the superhyperbolic doubt and a critique of logical positivism as well as falsificationism, that science and philosophy are fundamentally one and the same thing.

3.The NSTP (Non Spatial Thinking Process) Theory, which introduces semi-idealistic as well as semi-dualistic metaphysics based on the phenomena like quantum non-locality.

4.The NSTP Theoretical Idealistic Unification, which entails various phenomena, like quantum non-locality, that can have no spatial mechanistic explanations, and further, providing NSTP theoretical idealistic explanations, unifies those phenomena.

5.The Superultramodern Solipsism, a metaphysical semi-solipsistic position based on three strands that involve the NSTP theory and Indian (Vedic) astrology.

6.The Evolution of the Non-Spatial Universe, which describes the nature of the evolution of the non-spatial (material) universe, the universe seen through the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP theory.

7.The Superultramodern Physics, which brings out some flaws as well as serious theoretical shortcomings (in explaining natural phenomena) in modern/ultramodern physics, and further provides NSTP theoretical idealistic explanation.

8.The Superultramodern Biology, which portrays the idea of Non-Spatial Natural Selection (NSNS), based on the NSTP theoretical idealistic solutions of the biological problems like the problem of cell development and differentiation, and the problem of newly minted protein folding.

9.Superconmath: The Superconceptual Mathematics, a meta-mathematical system which proposes that the conventional (i.e. pre-superultramodern or modern/ultramodern) mathematical science is not as conceptual as it should be; i.e. it has conceptual deficiencies, in nature as well as in approach.

10.The UQV (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) Theory, the theory that the universe is the consequence of the ultimate questioner's vanity.

The component The Superhyperbolic Doubt is the most basic/foundational one, while the component The UQV Theory is the most advanced/profound one. The system also involves some minor components like Bohmian Mechanics: Vague and Absurd, Should a Criminal Solipsist be Acquitted?, and A Stone may be Conscious, some of which are conceptual applications of some of the main components.

Abstract:
This work attempts to present the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theoretical (philosophy of mind) idealistic solution to the problem of Yang-Mills existence and mass gap, the millennium problem announced by the Clay Mathematics Institute. As stated by the institute, 'Quantum Yang-Mills theory is now the foundation of most of elementary particle theory, and its predictions have been tested at many experimental laboratories, but its mathematical foundation is still unclear. The successful use of Yang-Mills theory to describe the strong interactions of elementary particles depends on a subtle quantum mechanical property called the mass gap: the quantum particles have positive masses, even though the classical waves travel at the speed of light. This property has been discovered by physicists from experiment and confirmed by computer simulations, but it still has not been understood from a theoretical point of view. Progress in establishing the existence of the Yang-Mills theory and a mass gap will require the introduction of fundamental new ideas both in physics and in mathematics.' If the property of mass gap contradicts the special relativistic law that no massive entity can travel at the speed of light, the point of this work is to understand that special relativity is not fundamental to nature. The new physics required to solve the problem has essentially "an idealistic framework" and the new mathematics contains terms such as "non-spatial consciousness". Though the problem is officially expressed in a conventional symbolic mathematical language, the appropriate solution necessarily has an unconventional superconceptual mathematical language, just as its radical non-spatial computational physics does.

Abstract:
This work attempts to show that Bohmian mechanics is vague and absurd on two basic grounds. Bohmian mechanics essentially postulates the existence of a subtle force called "the quantum potential" which pervades all space and provides direct connections between quantum systems. It suggests that a total order in the whole universe is contained, in some implicit sense, in each region of space and time. And the quantum potential corresponds to such "implicate order". The first of the two grounds states that no idea of (spatial) force, e.g. gravitational or magnetic force or the quantum potential, can be a substitute for any simple or, moreover, complex intelligent (spatial) structure, e.g. a neural structure found in human brain, as the concept of force is a mere abstraction, a vague idea, which does not provide (spatial) mechanistic explanations. (For example, Newton's idea of gravitational force fails to explain "action at a distance".) Therefore, a region of space and time, though containing quantum and possibly infinite number of super…quantum potentials, simply cannot contain a neural order, for example, unless containing an appropriate (spatial) "structure" representing the order. The second ground considers the Bohmian mechanistic idea/remark that "the (spatial) implicate domain", corresponding to the (spatial) quantum potentials, could equally be called Idealism, Spirit, Consciousness. This idea/remark means that Bohmian mechanics considers consciousness to be spatial which, however, contradicts the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theoretical axiom/"self-evident truth" that 'consciousness is non-spatial'. In short, Bohmian mechanics is vague and absurd.

Abstract:
The superultramodern (SUM) solipsism is a strong metaphysical semi-solipsistic position constituted of some ideas in superultramodern (SUM) science and philosophy. The first idea or strand is the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theoretical metaphysical semi-solipsism, the position that within the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP theory 'I' and 'the superhuman mind' are the only material entities that exist, for the non-existence of other non-superhuman minds simply makes the universal design (i.e. the superhuman engine) simpler, as the engine needs no additional intelligence/information to create a variety of specific spatial illusions through multiple (non-superhuman) NSTPs. The second strand further sees the superhuman design and/or designer, through an astrological framework, as a personal philosophical questioning supermind, the mind which, apparently being highly reasonable, has further no good reason to create tremendous suffering through the existence of other non-superhuman minds which are simply unable to answer its profound philosophical questions. The third strand is a composite of two mutually complementary basic feelings that this miraculous thing called consciousness exists, and that it is particularly 'I' who is conscious, and thus other entities, at least other non-superhuman entities, might be unconscious, and that Truth would always be different from how it commonsensically appears to be.

Abstract:
The metaphysical semi-solipsism is a position that within the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory, 'I' and 'the superhuman mind' are the only material entities that exist. That is, only my NSTP and the superhuman NSTP/s exist. It is called semi-solipsism because unlike pure/conventional solipsism it asserts the existence of mind, i.e. the superhuman mind, other than one's own. This position is based on the argument that 'the non-existence of other non-superhuman minds/NSTPs simply makes the universal design simpler, i.e. it makes the superhuman engine less complicated, since the engine needs no additional intelligence/information to create a variety of specific spatial illusions through multiple (non-superhuman) NSTPs'.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to discuss whether a criminal solipsist should be acquitted. A solipsist is generally a one who believes that other apparently animate (and also inanimate) entities have no feeling/s or state/s of consciousness associated with them. Therefore, considering that solipsism makes sense, a solipsist tends to have no criminal mind, and thus they could be justly accused only in a conventional sense. This work discusses the definition and types of solipsism, the types of solipsistic crimes, the psychology of a judge, and the positive as well as the negative consequences of such acquittal as well as conviction. The work finally concludes in the favour of acquittal in the case of some specific solipsists committing some particular types of crime.

Abstract:
This work attempts to demonstrate the significant possibility (as contrast to the superhyperbolic or the least possibility) in an apparently inanimate thing, like a stone, being conscious. According to the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory, any spatial, and therefore illusive/virtual, entity may have (real non-spatial) feelings/states of consciousness associated with it, provided it has an appropriate conceptual representation in the superhuman engine. A stone, for example, being an apparently spatial entity, may have conceptual representation in the superhuman mind/NSTPs/engine so as to be conscious. Thus, it may be that a broken stone feels pain till its death and then its pieces become conscious. The kind/type of states of consciousness associated with a stone depends entirely upon the kind/type of conceptual representation it has in the superhuman engine.

Abstract:
This work attempts to describe the nature of the evolution of the non-spatial (material) universe, the universe as seen through the semi-idealistic framework of the NSTP (Non - Spatial Thinking Process) theory. As per the NSTP theory, the existence of the superhuman mind (i.e. NSTPs) is responsible for the orderly existence of the non-superhuman mind/s (i.e. NSTP/s). These superhuman NSTPs, representing the empirical laws/design of the (non-spatial) material universe, could be called as the design (superhuman) NSTPs. This design came into existence due to some designer (superhuman) mind (i.e. NSTP), which no longer exists. Further, there should be some other design (superhuman) NSTPs responsible for the orderly existence of the designer (superhuman) NSTP, and so on. Such is supposed to be the nature of the evolution of the non-spatial (material) universe.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to argue that 'God, the supreme being, is nothing but the ultimate questioner', the one "which" asks the (apparently unanswerable) ultimate question about the nature of its own existence, through the existence of life and, in general, the (semi-solipsistic) universe. The sole purpose of this ultimate questioner is the demonstration of its own existence and intelligence. The entire idea of this work is a part of the UQV (Ultimate Questioner's Vanity) theory.
