The Basic Approaches of Observer Physics by Douglass A. White, Ph.D. In this article I present an overview of some basic approaches to Observer Physics as it is currently developing. First I list some of the topics for research in the study of the Awareness and Consciousness of the Observer. Then I consider the notation systems we use in quantifiable scientific research. The two most popular approaches are base two and base ten number systems. I note some practical benefits of each. I discuss in detail the power of modern scientific notation as a tool for understanding the fundamental components of phenomena: dimensional units, ratios (relationships), and self-similar scales. In the discussion of units I discuss the problem of undefined primitive units at the basis of mathematics and physics. In the section on ratios I introduce the fundamental ratios of mathematics and physics and distinguish variables, dimensional constants, and dimensionless constants. Then I show how study of the constants reveals remarkable bridges between the Mental world of math and the Material world of physics in the form of the Magnetic Unit constant of space (b) and the Scaling Operator of space (%), both of which are based on the modern unit of length, the meter. Armed with these new units we gain new insights into Heisenberg Uncertainty and the quantum nature of space and energy. Also the fundamental electromagnetic fine structure of physical matter and its relation to the phenomenon of mass become apparent. I present the concept of nuclear mass (protons) in terms of the Fine Structure Constant, Quantum Magnetic Flux, the Magnetic Unit of Space, the Coulomb Constant, and the Elementary Electric Charge Quantum: Mp = π b e / c, or Mp = α b Φo / κ. Finally I outline a program for generating a working physical universe from an initial condition in which an undefined Observer defines for himself a small set of fundamental concepts and relationships that fit together in such a way as to generate a dynamic Unitary Nothingness symbolized mathematically as a Field of zeros containing a single unknown quantity taken to the Zeroth power.
