I was responding to the question of whether the 4D sphere could grow to a population of that size, not whether it would have that many from the beginning. But still you are bringing up interesting points.
unity100 Wrote:billion is not a normal number, and the population number we see on this planet in the magnitude of 6-7 billion would not be attainable in a planet of this size without inordinate amounts of technology being given to the society living there, like it happened here.
Possibly so. Although I would point out that the vast majority of technology we have is aimed at feeding our bodies, moving our bodies around, and passing communication from one body to another. So if these three needs are drastically lessened in 4D, it would not necessitate such a degree of technology.
unity100 Wrote:for that, a mass wanderer wave toiled for approx 200 years. we can be sure that this thing is not the norm, because as the maldek, mars incidents prove, this amount of technology being given to 3d societies can cause grand scale mishaps.
Not the norm, for sure. I can only assume that the saga of earth will continue to be highly unusual as events continue to unfold.
unity100 Wrote:therefore a planet which has not received such excessive technology wouldnt support billions of entities comfortably. moreover, not all logi choose 3d lifeforms that can manipulate the environment - there are sea based bodies, there are trees, there are all kinds of bodies. so, a normal 3d planet would support lower levels of populations, depending on its size.
You lost me. Are you talking about 3D entities on a 3D planet, or 4D entities on a 4D planet?
unity100 Wrote:if we take Ra's numbers of 30 million, and increase it considering venus's size, even ten times a planet the size of venus with ten times resources would sport 300 million. even if you go far to adjust this for other factors and ramp up, and go to 500 million, you still would need 80 average 3d planets having had harvests of their total populations in order to populate this planet with these numbers, right at this time and hour.
80 planets is not inconceivable. [Possibly 88? See below] Also, for all we know there are a few planets out there which are about to have inordinately large harvests. Gotta have balance! But again, I was talking about the total capacity, not the population immediately post-harvest.
unity100 Wrote:AND, all of these harvestees need to be compatible with this logos' archetype, and the conditions and spiritual biases on this planet. even the fact that the spiritual mass of an entity evolved as a giant sea creature would be much bigger than an entity which evolved as a small ape and the incompatibility that would result from these two living in a body or the sea creature living in a body that lies far below its mind/spirit can handle would be a hint.
True. Although this logos seems to be very intent on maximizing the ability of the sphere to support a wide diversity of conditions, spiritual biases, and bodily forms. I am reminded of some ideas put forth by the Pleiadians that the earth is intended to become some sort of galactic library, or repository. Certainly, at this stage of the game it feels much like a zoo!
unity100 Wrote:as you can see, numbers as great as these, do not hold as the densities progress upward. there are even more entities in all kinds of sizes and varieties in 2d than there are in 3d. the 3d population of 6 billion of this planet, cannot be even compared to the numbers of entities or near entities in 2d. however, as you can see, the number of entities also gets reduced from 2d to 3d.
Hrrrmm. Yes, I do see what you are saying. But I'm not sure that I agree with your analysis of the trend:
1D- has 88 naturally occurring elements. Assuming the vast majority of possible naturally-occuring compounds are composed primarily of three elements or less, the number of combinations would be 88!/85!, or about 658K.
2D - currently has 8.7 +/- 1.3 million species. So that is about an order of magnitude greater.
3D - currently has about 7 billion people. Another order of magnitude greater.
Based on this, I would expect the trend to continue into 4D- eventually maximizing at around 7 trillion uniquely identifiable entities, and then the trend would start to reverse around the midpoint of 4D, reaching a minimum of uniquely identifiable entities at the end of 7D.
unity100 Wrote:and if we consider that Ra is only at 60 million at this point, despite any/all entities which joined them during 4, 5 and 6th densities, the proposition gets stronger.
I suppose the real question would be, not how many subentities compose Ra, but how many Ra-like beings there are in the universe.
unity100 Wrote:in short, higher densities are not as populated as some of you seem to believe.
I suppose there is no way to discern for sure from here. But there are a few different questions that seem to be on the table here:
1. What percentage of the overall population of 4D earth will be represented by those newly harvested?
2. What percentage of those newly harvested will have originated from 3D earth?
3. For each entity new to 4D, how many progeny can be expected? (Moreover... what the heck will it mean to procreate, anyway? I think some are assuming that it will be like 3D... where a mom and a dad get together and make babies, and then they all live together in family units.)
4. What is the total theoretical capacity of 4D earth, keeping in mind that physicality is optional?
