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
The nature of light has been studied since antiquity, with many ways of understand it, and although the nature of light is apparent to our eyes, its nature is also so obscure that no complete description has yet been given, and still continues to this day enlightening the minds of those who think about it, and obscuring the minds of those who don’t. Visibly speaking, light is invisible, because we only see the source and the reflection, and not all light is created equal, there are only two sources, incandescence and luminescence. ¹
Incandescent light genesis is produced through increasing entropy and through classical mechanics.
Luminescent light genesis is produced through decreasing entropy and through quantum mechanics.
Entropy of light = novelty of its photons.
Incandescence is the emission of light including invisible infrared light from an element due to its thermal state operating via equilibrium dynamics, also called hot light, and luminescence is the emission of light from a non-thermal process, that operates via non-equilibrium dynamics, it is also called cold light. Incandescence is produced from the increase in energy of a heated element through classical mechanics, it naturally produces a continuous broadband spectrum and is a light that naturally seeks the state of maximum entropy. On the other hand luminescence is produced from a decrease in energy of electrons through quantum mechanics, it naturally produces a non-continuous and narrowband spectrum, and naturally seeks the state of minimum entropy. These two mechanisms to produce light have their unique properties and uses, and will imprint in the photon a unique fingerprint depending on how they are produced, regardless of being naturally made, or artificially made.
Natural incandescence is produced in thunder and the Sun.
Natural luminescence is produced by some creatures and atmospheric phenomena like will-o’-the-wisp and aurora borealis.
Artificial incandescence is produced in fire and incandescent bulbs.
Artificial luminescence is produced in light emitting semiconductors and fluorescent bulbs.
A fascinating fact is that If we were to reproduce a complete light spectrum such as from the Sun, the total energy required would be less for incandescence than for luminescence. Making incandescence the most efficient way to produce light in the universe, lux is the quantification of measuring total photon output, which is not the same as lumens, lumens quantifies apparent light to our eyes. On the other hand luminescence is the least efficient way to produce light in the universe, but because this light can be have a narrow-band segregated spectrum, an apparent efficiency can be observed, but this is a half truth, however it does have very useful applications and use cases.

One of the most fascinating things between incandescence and luminescence is that as their emitter energy density is reached, incandescence will tend towards higher entropy levels, while luminescence towards ower entropy. In other words, in luminescence photons will tend towards predictability and uniformity in their phase, frequency, polarization, direction, and a narrower spectrum. In incandescence the opposite happens, the spectrum gets wider and the photons will tend towards unpredictability in their photonic variations, both are useful for different things. Incandescence and luminescence have their unique applications and usefulness, incandescence is unmatched for high spectral fidelity and color rendering, because it is a continuous high photonic entropy broadband spectrum, luminescence is a light that may appear white to the eye, but in reality is a handful of frequencies, that may appear white, but in reality it has real spectral voids, where there is literally no light present there, and if the light cannot render color hues that are not present in its spectrum. However luminescence is unmatched for digital information transmission, and low cost and miniature lighting, indispensable for our modern technology. The arrival of electricity revolutionized our ways, yet the first electric light emitter was still a continuation of incandescence, the same kind of light we had been seeing since the dawn of man. It was the arrival of electro-luminescent light emitter that marked the real change in our lighting, today we are surrounded by it, especially from computer screens, the interface that mediates information to our modern day indispensable tool, the computer. ²

but does not lose sight of Infinity.”

Entropy
Electro-incandescent light emitters are made from glass and metal, and can have some of the highest entropy in the universe.
State of the art SpectrumView monitors makes the user experience a form of analog time dilation from the ultra-high entropy light experienced per second.
Incandescent light is a continuous signal that has literally infinite photonic resolution, luminescent light is more of a synthetic signal because it is inherently made of discrete quantum steps like a bit. Both have unique and useful applications and purposes.
Luminescent semiconductor light emitters are made from silicon wafers and can have some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Frontier computers can transmit enormous quantities of data over ultra-low entropy luminescent light, and can experience a form of digital time dilation.
Entropy is the measure of novelty in a universal sense, entropy is unexpectedness in the variations of a micro-state, in which the macro-state can be either ordered or disordered. Low entropy corresponds to high predictability and minimum variations, while high entropy corresponds to unpredictability and maximum variations, both high and low entropy are very useful and necessary. However entropy is commonly misunderstood as disorder, but it is not accurate and does not define it in its entirety. Order and disorder are subjective, one man’s order can be another man’s disorder, so therefore disorder does not define entropy in a universal manner. Entropy is more completely defined as novelty, which is not subjective because it is unexpectedness regardless of its anthropocentric perceived order.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
An example of the subjectivity of order and disorder in regards with entropy, would be like an inhabited house vs an uninhabited one, the inhabited house since it has much higher degrees of entropy, meaning it has more unexpected events happening more often, should appear to be more disordered than the uninhabited one, but this is not so. And the uninhabited one because it has much lower entropy since it has less unexpected events happening over time, should appear to be the ordered one, but this is not so, this is why if we take the common definition of entropy being order and disorder is not accurate because it is subjective and not universal.
Photomodulation
Broadband infrared frequencies are found in sunsets.
Semiconductors are a genuine marvel of our age and provide indispensable applications worthy of praise and reverence, however when it comes to producing light for our continuous exposure like a computer screen, its photonic nature is simply second class to our analog biology. Prolonged and routine exposure to semiconductor light can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions in the eye tissue,¹ causing damage, ² and also negatively disrupting the neuro-protecting pineal gland. ³
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
SpectrumView incandescent monitors in the other hand regenerate sight because are rich in broadband infrared light, something completely lacking in common monitors. Infrared frequencies penetrate deep in the ocular tissue and regenerate cells, reducing inflammation and alleviating photo-sensitivity, improving blood circulation to the brain, and enhancing cognitive performance and memory formation. ⁴ Making SpectrumView the monitors well-suited for extended periods of creative work or office tasks, offering exceptional color rendering index of 100 and a broad range of infrared light.

“Returning is how The Way progresses.”

SpectrumView monitors are built to last a long time, and for long working sessions, made with high quality wood and serviceable components, thermally protected by sophisticated airflow cooling design, with genuine brass heat-sink reflectors and low-speed fans, EMF shielding, copper wiring and strong copper mounts detachable for transportation or to suspend in front of a window for solar backlighting. The incandescent light bulbs needed are standard Edison E27 base, and approved size and wattage for household appliances such as ovens and are not banned because they are not for space illumination. For Europe and other 240v countries an inner switch is included so it can work with 240v at the flick of an inner switch, which means you can use 120v bulbs in a 240v country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years. The lighbox when placed faced down and not in use, is also the ideal cured meat and fruit dehydrator, providing precise infrared radiation with a continuous aiflow without much heat. 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. Frontier research in thermophotovoltaics and nanophotonics, ⁸ will make possible incandescent backlights more widely available in the future.
