Foreword:
Firstly, I have to clarify that this is neither a scientific nor a religious work. While this will be obvious to someone who actually reads this work, there are people who make judgments in haste and I must state the obvious for their benefit. While the concepts incorporate various themes currently accepted by modern science, I do not state either those themes or my understanding of them to be factually accurate. Also, I would like to clarify that my main objective in writing this book is to entertain the reader and, possibly, encourage the reader to seek alternate answers on any topic before they decide for themselves. I would finally like to thank you for reading so far into the Foreword and hope you will read the pages that follow. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. THANKING YOU, SLEEPY SHADOW 29th December, 2011

The Second Idea was generated after The First. Until now, all there was, was nothingness.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
So, The Second Idea was that there should be something that differs from nothingness.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
The Second Idea was the Idea of Matter. Matter is that which is different from nothingness
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
There was matter, but matter alone did nothing. There had to be something to act on matter.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
The Third Idea was the Idea of Energy. Energy is that which can cause matter to act.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
There was matter and there was energy, but there was the possibility that there would be too much or too little of either.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
There had to be a way to regulate the amounts of both. These two entities had to be correlated.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
This was The Fourth Idea: Matter and Energy can be converted into each other.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Matter needed somewhere to be where it could be acted on by energy and interact with other matter.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
There had to be a way for individual interactions to be separate events from each other.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
They had to be brought together and intertwined with each other before interactions could truly happen.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
The Seventh Idea was that all matter, energy, space and time should begin from one specific point.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
And from that moment, time, space matter and energy existed and began to interact with each other.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com

PART - II
STARDUST
Chaos
Time, space, energy and matter began to expand. There were interactions between them as the Ideas had planned.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Chaos
But these interactions were not controlled by any rules. They were chaotic.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Chaos
While it did not matter in the early universe, Ideas began to form that wanted more structure.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Chaos
Ideas formed that interaction between matter, energy, space and time had to be controlled.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Control of Matter
First, matter had to be controlled. Matter could not exist in a free state, but had to be bound to form particles.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Control of Matter
The bound form of matter was easier to control. These particles would also be further restricted.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Control of Matter
Particles would only interact with other particles in proximity to it in space and time.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Control of Matter
Particles would be further restricted with regards to time. They would only be able to interact linearly with time.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Control of Matter
This linear interaction meant that every particle (and everything composed of particles) would have a linear timeline.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Fields
A further control was created so that the interactions between particles would be even more organized.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Fields
This was the Idea of Fields. Multiple Fields would be formed around and within matter to control how matter reacted to interactions.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Fields
Some Fields would purely attract. They would cause matter to pull towards each other.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Fields
Other fields would exist in duality, with two different states. Different states of field would interact differently.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Fields
In some combinations, fields with duality would attract, in other combinations they would repel.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
With these Ideas applied to the chaotic universe, there was more regularity and organization in the interactions.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
Particles formed and interacted with each other in various ways. Matter formed substance.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
The attraction and repulsion provided by the various newly formed fields began to form larger particles.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
These larger particles would react with each other to form more and more structure in order to create the material universe.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
The relative abundance or scarcity of these particles in different regions of time and space would create different structures.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
Extreme scarcity would have empty space. Somewhat scarce regions would have clouds of particles.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
Higher densities would lead to various types of stars as well as other structures derived from them.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Order
All these would interact with each other in a larger scale than before.

PART - III
EVOLUTION OF IDEAS
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Ideas created a universe with galaxies of stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids and dust clouds.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
The Idea that there should be other things capable of replication was a controversial Idea.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
They would require further matter and energy to replicate, so their replication and possible spread would be slow.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
If they failed to gather enough matter and energy, they would be unable to replicate.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
However, that could lead to too many creations that were unable to replicate and just occupying space.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
This was the Idea of Death and closely followed the Idea of Life.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Location
So, where to put these creations? Empty space had too little matter to sustain them.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Location
Stars had enough matter to sustain them, but they also had vast amounts of energy. Any life on a star would either be too massive or replicate too quickly.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Location
So, they had to be put on a planet, where there was enough matter and neither too much nor too little energy.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
So, creations that could replicate came to be. They used matter and energy around themselves to replicate.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
Initially, these creations were a few substances working in synchrony with each other. They could replicate, forming new copies of themselves.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
But, producing identical copies meant that every new replica would be confined to the location of the parent.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
That was until Idea that every copy should carry differences from the original came into being.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
Like Ideas themselves, these creatures generate new creatures, that would have differences from the parent.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
The creatures whose differences enabled it to gather matter and energy as well as replicate more effectively would thrive. Other ideas would not.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Evolution
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Initially, all forms gathered substances directly from the immediate surroundings.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Then came the Idea that some forms could gather energy radiated by a nearby star.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Another Idea soon followed, that some creatures could get matter and energy by consuming other forms of life.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Governed by these Ideas and many others, living creatures came to be.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
They evolved as was planned for them and modified themselves as well as their surroundings.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
PART - IV
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
The only things that was better than them in the universe were Ideas themselves.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Perhaps it might be a good Idea for these creatures to create Ideas themselves?
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
What if these creatures did the forbidden and create an Idea that stopped the generation of further Ideas?
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
New Ideas would be created in these creatures, but only by the Ideas already present in them.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
This was the basis for the Idea of Exchange of Ideas, also called the Idea of Intelligence.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Such a creature had to be mobile and venturesome enough to exchange Ideas with other similar creatures.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
It had to be adaptable enough to survive, so that the Ideas it carried could keep on replicating.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Language
After such a creature was found, it needed to be able to share Ideas with others of its kind. It needed to be able to express new Ideas in terms of old Ideas.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Language
The ability to express Ideas from one individual to another was created. This was the Idea of Language.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Language
The ability to seek Ideas from another was soon created. This was the Idea of Questions.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Individuals that lived together and were usually related to each other shared the same or similar Ideas.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Newer Ideas created among these individuals remained in the group. This was the Idea of culture.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Ideas were often created in the groups to describe the world around them.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Some Ideas, used to describe the world were based on observations and measurements. These were the Ideas of Science.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Some Ideas were based on how individuals should interact among themselves. These were the Ideas of Ethics.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Some Ideas tried to account for both individual interactions and the natural world. These were the Ideas of Religion.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Some Ideas were codes on how the groups should act and who should guide it. These were the Ideas of Politics.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Culture
Some Ideas were codes on how resources (matter, energy and Ideas themselves) should be shared. These were the Ideas of Economics.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Conflict
A problem with intelligent creatures was that Ideas generated among different groups could sometimes be in conflict with each other.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Conflict
As Ideas were often protected commodities, conflicts between Ideas could often lead to conflict between the groups bearing them.
SLEEPY SHADOWS THE IDEA OF CREATION
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
Conflict
Such conflict often led to the elimination of individuals or groups and also the Ideas that they carried with them.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
And Beyond
But, overall, the rapid sharing of ideas among individuals vastly outpaced the eliminative processes.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
And Beyond
The creatures utilized the Ideas to explore their environment and be more adaptable than ever before.
http://headlessideas.blogspot.com
And Beyond
And Ideas benefited by growing in number and being more complex in their organization.
