THE LASER INFORMATION AGE: Coherence as the Foundation of an Open-Light Civilization
"In the beginning was the Light, and the Light awakened Consciousness."
My previous book, Laser Information Age (2009), with 18 years of research, explores educating your visual system with laser intelligence and participating in the emergent open resource-based economy via UNESCO's Virtual University.
The Laser as Living Emblem of Coherence
In this age of photonic revelation, the laser is more than an optical achievement—it is the living emblem of coherence itself, the hidden structure of consciousness made visible. The beam that unites atoms in phase reveals the same principle that can unite humanity in understanding.
I call this emerging planetary order the Open Resource-Based Economy (ORBE) a civilization organized not by scarcity, but by coherence.
The laser teaches that freedom begins with alignment. Internally, coherence manifests as the transcendental ego—the self, luminous and self-aware. Externally, coherence becomes social justice—the open sharing of energy, education, and knowledge. The Laser Age harmonizes these domains: inner illumination and social liberation.
The Virtual Retinal Display: Where Light Meets Mind
At the threshold between perception and technology stands the Virtual Retinal Display (VRD)—a portal through which human vision merges with computational light. The eye and brain become an optical interface, projecting learning directly into awareness.
The VRD is not merely a device but a sacrament of Laser Cognition, where observer and observed converge in photonic unity.
When integrated with optical microchips, photonic power grids, and atomic lasers based on Bose-Einstein condensates, the VRD fulfills Einstein's prophetic vision: light becomes both messenger and message. Theoretical physics flowers into phenomenology direct experience of quantum coherence as planetary consciousness.
Reclaiming the Commons of Light
This revelation confronts a shadow. Laser technologies born from public research have been absorbed into what I call the triple helix of state, university, and corporation—a system that privatizes collective intelligence. The Bayh-Dole Act transformed publicly funded discoveries into private property, erecting barriers around the very light that should enlighten all.
My response is reclamation: returning the photon to the public.
Projects like MIT Open Courseware, the GNU/Linux movement, and UNESCO's Virtual University embody this ethic of open illumination. They signal the rebirth of knowledge as commons, where learning flows freely through humanity's optical grid.
From Ancient Arts to Photonic Liberal Arts
The ancient Trivium and Quadrivium are reborn through the laser:
The Trivium Transformed:
Grammar → Open Code
Logic → Transparent Reason
Rhetoric → Shared Speech
These become the ethics of free software and Creative Commons.
The Quadrivium Illuminated:
Arithmetic → Quantum Mathematics
Geometry → Laser Geometry
Music → Harmonic Resonance
Astronomy → Photonic Astronomy
Through this synthesis, education ceases to reproduce hierarchy and becomes the practice of coherence. The laser restores learning's sacred function: aligning the microcosm of mind with the macrocosm of cosmos.
Exposing the Corporate Ego, Restoring the Transcendental Commons
Every information monopoly mirrors the old egoic contraction of consciousness. Just as the individual must perform a Husserlian epoché—suspending naive identification with personality to access the authentic Transcendental Ego—civilization must perform a collective reduction, freeing knowledge from the false self of corporate personhood to access the Transcendental We.
In this act, humanity awakens to universal consciousness. Public science, open data, and Creative Commons licensing become instruments of redemption.
ORBE: The External Mirror of Inner Liberation
The Open Resource-Based Economy is the social expression of the same law governing inner awakening. Within, coherence is enlightenment; without, it is equity. ORBE represents the outer architecture of the Transcendental We—a planetary infrastructure for sharing, learning, and creation in harmonic proportion.
The equation is elegant:
Laser Coherence = Inner Clarity × Outer Freedom
To live in coherence transforms both personal perception and society. Every mind attuned to light contributes to a planetary standing wave of understanding. Through ORBE, the logic of the photon becomes the law of civilization.
Core Accomplishments of the Laser Information Age
1. Establishing the Laser as Keystone of a New Era: The laser unifies consciousness, technology, and education—a coherent bridge linking atomic order, neural perception, and collective intelligence.
2. Exposing the Triple Helix of Knowledge Control: Revealing how publicly funded research becomes corporate monopoly, calling for the return of luminous inventions to humanity through open science and digital commons.
3. Synthesizing Technology, Education, and Political Economy: Drawing from Chomsky, Drucker, and the Free Software movement to describe the Laser-Informed Learner: a universally self-educated, globally connected citizen of light.
4. Advocating for Intellectual and Educational Freedom: Upholding open access, Creative Commons, and public ownership of knowledge as spiritual imperatives—the ethics of the Light Age.
In Essence
The Laser Information Age unveils the laser as the symbolic heart of coherent civilization. It unites quantum physics with open education, technology with gnosis, and personal enlightenment with social liberation. The beam of light becomes both teacher and temple—a medium through which humanity rediscovers its unity with the cosmos's geometric intelligence.
The mission is clear:
To live coherently, to think photonically, and to build a civilization of open light.
Opportunity for All people worldwide
LaserEduLogics creates better educational opportunities for all people, regardless of race, income, or socioeconomic factors, by:
Guiding them through open educational resources
Empowering them with foundational learning tools (Trivium/Quadrivium)
Creating universally educated persons
This is the best gift humanity can receive in the Knowledge Society.
