What is Light?
“That which comes from the Light of the Holy Ghost is of only one species…but that which comes from the Light of Nature is of two species.”
– Theophrastus Paracelsus †
Light has many layers of understanding and interpretation, visibly speaking we can only see the source of light and its reflection, and not all light is the created equal, ¹ at the photon genesis, visible light can only be made by two ways, separating light in two primary types of light, there is incandescence and luminescence.
Incandescent photons are produced through increasing entropy states by classical mechanics.
Luminescent photons are produced through decreasing entropy states by quantum mechanics.
Natural incandescence comes from the Sun and all the celestial bodies.
Artificial incandescence comes from fire and incandescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence comes from some creatures like fireflies, angler fish, and also from atmospheric phenomena like auroras and will-o’-the-wisps.
Artificial luminescence comes from light emitting semiconductors and compact fluorescent tubes.
These two fundamental mechanisms to produce photons will determine its intrinsic properties and inherent characteristics, regardless of how these two appear to be in color temperature. Understanding this is indispensable to develop appropriate technology, because both kinds of light serve unique applications that fulfill different purposes. ²
Light is the only thing we see in a monitor, everything else is symbol.
Artificial incandescent light sources like fire, have been a great friend to mankind since the dawn of time, because it has enabled us to live in places and eat foods we could not have before its discovery and handling. The arrival of the electric bulb in the 19th century revolutionized our way of life, but it was still a continuation of the sane kind of light. However, the arrival of the electric luminescent bulb relatively recently is a kind of light we have rarely seen before, yet today we seem to be unavoidably exposed to it, especially from computer digital screens, the interface to our modern day indispensable tool, the computer.
“Without going out of your door, you can know the ways of Heaven.“
– The Tao
Incandescent and luminescent light creation are diametrically inverted and this duality is a very interesting aspect about light. A good analogy would be like the heat produced from an a classical electric oven, to a cavity magnetron in a microwave oven – both produce heat, but the classical oven heats the food in a classical manner from the outside to the inside, while the magnetron does it in an inverse method, from the inside to the outside. Both mechanisms produce heat, just as both photon mechanisms produce light, but the means to achieve is different, and here resides the heart of the matter.

Incandescent and luminescent light sources have their own uses and excel in certain areas, for example incandescence is the undisputed king for high fidelity and faithful chromatic illumination, thanks to its broadband continuous spectrum and high-entropy photon phases, something luminescent light sources fall very short, because its inherently a superposition of a handful of frequencies, that may appear white to the sight, but in reality have real spectral voids where there is literally no light. However luminescent light sources and especially from solid state semiconductors are the unrivaled for digital information transmission, thanks to its low‑entropy nature, making it the ideal light medium for digital information transmission, something indispensable for our modern digital communications technology.

Entropy of light = novelty in its photons.
“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Entropy is the amount of novelty, or unpredictability in range of variations of a phenomena, system and signal. Entropy is not disorder as commonly understood, because order is subjective, one man’s disorder can be another man’s order, but novelty is not subjective.
Entropy is the real measure of novelty in the universe.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy in light is their amount of novelty in its photon qualities, like the phase, frequency, polarization, reflection, etc. Incandescent light sources is inherently high-entropy because it originates from increasing entropy itself, in the other hand luminescent sources are intrinsically low-entropy because it originates from decreasing entropy itself, both types of light are very useful and have their specific properties and uses, both for technological, artistic and religious applications, understanding this is indispensable to develop better computer interfaces.
SpectrumView state-of-the-art computer monitors make possible a form of analog time dilation from the massive amounts of high-photonic-entropy light experienced per second.
Incandescent light and emitters have some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Ordinary luminescent monitor light is produced by a blue light semiconductor emitter coated with phosphorus.
Analog signals are naturally high in entropy while digital signals are synthesized into on/off bits, both have their own unique applications and uses.
Frontier computing models experience a form of digital time dilation from what can be transmitted per second by this low-photonic-entropy semiconductor light medium.
Semiconductor luminescent light has some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Semiconductors are genuine marvel of our age, and provide very useful indispensable technological applications to our modern ways of living, their low cost and ability to transmit digital information is worthy of praise and its ability to be transformed into solar cells is worthy of reverence, however when it comes to producing light for our prolonged and routine use such as in a computer monitor, its “synthetic” digital nature is second class to our analog biology, because it can harm the sight and can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions,¹ causing ocular damage. ² Also inhibiting the pineal gland, ³ a light sensitive gland that produces neuro-protecting hormones such as melatonin, serotonin, and pinoline. ⁴
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
However invisible infrared light which is abundant in incandescent light sources is low frequency light, and regenerates tissue and optic cells, reducing ocular inflammation, alleviating photo sensitiveness, improving blood circulation to the brain, enhancing cognitive function, focus and memory formation, through photo-biomodulation. ⁵ SpectrumView incandescent monitors are naturally rich in broadband infrared light frequencies, something completely lacking in ordinary luminescent monitors.

Light and time are also intimately interwoven, widely known in Einstein’s light-time expansion theory, further elaborated by Wheeler and Feynman to include retro-causality. ⁶
The Spectrum
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau
A spectrum is the “rainbow” emitted by any light source, terrestrial or celestial.

“Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.”
– Matthew 7:20
Everything works with either 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, which means you can use 120V bulbs in a 240V country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years if well treated. Using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day will increase your electric bill, but if used during winter the proportional thermal energy radiated will be subtracted from your heating bill, so cost will cancel out, and if natural lit during the summer, the electricity usage will stay the same. Frontier research in nanophotonics and thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent backlights widely available for mobile screens and monitors in the future, for your only hope for a future.
