What is Light
Light has been a source of wonder and inspiration since antiquity with ample degrees and depths of approaching it, although the nature of light is apparent to our eyes, it is also so obscure that no complete description has been given. There are only two sources of light, incandescent or luminescent, which can be either natural or artificially made.
Natural incandescence is produced by the celestial bodies and thunder.
Artificial incandescence is produced by fire and incandescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence is produced by aurora borealis and will-o’-the-wisps.
Natural luminescence is also produced by fireflies and some deep sea fish.
Artificial luminescence is produced by fluorescent bulbs and light emitting semiconductors.
Incandescent light genesis happens through increasing entropy states and classical mechanics.
Luminescent light genesis happens through decreasing entropy states and quantum mechanics.
Incandescence is the most efficient way to produce photons in the universe, emitting more light by the same input of energy than luminescence, however not all are visible. Luminescence is the least efficient way to produce photons in the universe, but more of this light falls within the visible range, this light is measured in lumens, while total photon output is measured in lux.
With the advent of quantum mechanics, the
dual nature of light was scientifically proven.
“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 (1493-1541)
A good analogy of these two light producing mechanisms, would be to how a classical oven produces heat compared to a microwave oven. The classical oven heats from the outside to the inside in a classical manner, while the microwave does so in an inverse manner, from the inside to the outside. Both produce the same outcome, but the way to accomplish it is diametrically different, and herein resides the heart of the matter.

Both incandescent and luminescent light sources excel in certain uses and applications, with unique photonic properties. Incandescence is unmatched for color rendering and high photonic fidelity purposes thanks to its broadband and continuous spectrum, while luminescence is not, because its inherently a superposition of narrow bands of frequencies, that may appear white but have real spectral voids where there is literally no light. However luminescence excels in digital information transmission and long lasting or miniature inexpensive light bulbs, something indispensable for our modern global communications.

Electricity revolutionized our way of life, yet the first electric light bulb was a continuation of the same type of light we had been exposed since the dawn of mankind. It was the luminescent light bulb that marked the real change, because we rarely seen it before, yet today we seem to be submerged by it from digital displays, our interface to our modern world indispensable tool, the computer. A computer monitor is the visual interface to the computer and mediates information through light, it is also a means to access information and communication with the virtual world, the medium of light itself fundamentally shapes the experience and meaning of what appears on it, because we cannot separate the medium from the message, because light itself is part of the meaning. ²

but does not lose sight of Infinity.”

What is entropy?
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy is the measure of novelty in the universe, entropy is conventionally defined as disorder, but this is not accurate because disorder can be subjective in a universal sense, but novelty is not subjective. Entropy is novelty and unexpectedness in a signal or phenomena, low entropy has less randomness and more predictability, while high entropy has more randomness and impredictability. In light entropy is found in its phase, frequency, reflection and mode.
“We are the explorers of interior space; novelty is the compass that points toward the unfolding future.”
– Terence Kemp McKenna
Novelty is the quality of being new, original and unexpected, and can encompass both ordered and disordered states, as long as the configurations are always novel or unexpected. Disorder refers to the lack of order or organization in a system, characterized by randomness and unpredictability. However novelty can exist in both ordered and disordered systems, therefore it more widely defines entropy.
Analog signals are continuous and high in entropy while digital signals are discrete low entropy steps. Both have their special properties and uses.
Incandescent light can have some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Luminescent light can have some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Light and time are also mysteriously intertwined, after Einstein postulated that time dilation can occur in light, Feynman later postulated that retrocausality can be also a possibility, in which events can be influenced from the future by absorber entities from another dimension through light, in other words, light can be the carrier of retrocausal interaction, challenging the common conceptions about the nature of causality.
“The eye sees the present and the future.”
– Salvador Dali

Frontier computers can experience a form of digital time dilation from what can be transmitted through its ultra low entropy light.
Photomodulation
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Semiconductors are a genuine marvel of our age and provide indispensable digital applications, also their ability to be transformed into solar cells is worthy of reverence, but when it comes to producing light for our analog biology continuous exposure, such as in a monitor, its intrinsic nature is simply second class to our biology, and can even provoke optic cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions from prolonged exposure,¹ causing damage to the optic tissue, ² and negatively disrupting the neuro-protecting pineal gland. ³ ⁴
SpectrumView monitors are naturally rich in a broad range of infrared light, something completely lacking in common monitors. Infrared light frequencies penetrate deep in the tissue, and regenerate optic cells, thus reducing ocular inflammation and alleviate photo-sensitiveness, it also improves blood circulation to the brain, enhancing cognitive function and memory formation. ⁵

The incandescent light bulbs are standard Edison base, size and wattage for household appliances such as ovens, and are not banned because they are not used for general space illumination. Everything works with either 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch, which means no need to change all bulbs, so you can use 120V bulbs in a 240V country. Twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years. Keep in mind that using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day to backlight your SpectrumView will increase your electricity usage, but if solar backlit the overall consumption will cancel out. Also if used during winter the equivalent thermal energy radiated will be subtracted from your heating costs, so cost will cancel out as well. Further research in thermophotovoltaics and nanophotonics, ⁸ will make possible incandescent backlights be more widely available in the future.
