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.”
– Thephrasuts Paracelsus †
Light has many depths of understanding, literally both physically and metaphysically. Visibly speaking light itself is invisible, because we only see the source and its reflection, yet light is all we see in a monitor, because everything else is symbol. Although the nature of light is apparent to our eyes, it is also so obscure that no complete description has ever been elucidated.
“The one who looks down on this world from highest heaven, he verily knows, or perhaps he knows not.“
–The Rig-Veda 10:129
What is certain is that light only comes from two types of photonic genesis: incandescence or luminescence. These two mechanisms will determine the light properties and its photonic characteristics. ¹ These two types of light serve unique applications and fulfil different purposes, and something indispensable to understand for developing better computer screen interfaces of the future. ²
Incandescent photonic genesis happens by increasing entropy states, through classical mechanics.
Luminescent photonic genesis happens by decreasing entropy states, through quantum mechanics.
Paradoxically, incandescence is the most efficient mechanism to produce light in the universe, emitting more light by the same amount of energy than luminescence, it produces more total photons, but not all are visible, many are infrared. On the other hand, luminescence is more inefficient and emits less photons from the same amount of energy, but more photons are visible, this is measured in lumens. These two types of light can be made either naturally or articifially, artificial is named such because it can be made at will.
Natural incandescence is produced in the celestial bodies.
Artificial incandescence is produced from fire and incandescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence is produced from bioluminescent creatures of the night, and also in atmospheric phenomena like aurora borealis and will-o’ the wisps.
Artificial luminescence is produced from phosphorescent bulbs and semiconductor-based emitters.
Electricity revolutionized our technology and rearranged our ways of life, however the first electric light source was incandescent, and so a continuation of the same type of light we seen since the dawn of mankind. The arrival of the luminescent bulb was the real change in lighting because is a type of light we rarely seen before, yet today we are surrounded by this type of light, especially from screens, the interface to our computer.
“The sage travels all day over the land and sea, but does not lose sight of Infinity.”
– The Tao Verse 26
Light can exist in complete duality in many ways, such as in its wave and particle duality and its photonic genesis. A good analogy to visualize this peculiar phenomena, would be like how a classic oven works compared to a microwave oven. Both means can produce heat, but the classic oven heats from the outside to the inside, while the microwave from the inside to the outside. Both achieve the goal, but the way to do it is diametrically inverted, and here is where the heart of the matter is.

“The principal person in a picture is light.”
– Edouard Manet
Incandescent and luminescent light have their special uses and purposes. Both types of lights are useful and have their unique properties, providing for different technological and artistic purposes. For example incandescence is king for high fidelity purposes thanks to its broadband continuous spectrum and other high photonic entropy characteristics. Whereas luminescent light is not continuous nor broadband, as it inherently suppresses large portions of its spectrum, and so is in reality a superposition of a handful of frequencies, that may appear white, but have real spectral voids where there is no light. Nevertheless, luminescent light sources such as from semiconductors, is the ideal medium for digital information transmission, something indispensable for our modern digital communications, low cost lighting and can also be made in miniature sizes.
What is entropy?
Entropy of light = novelty of its photons.
“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Entropy is the amount of novelty and unexpectedness in a signal. A low-entropy signal will have less randomness and more predictability, while a high-entropy will have more randmoness and less predictability. In light entropy is manifested in its photon characteristics, like its phase and range of frequencies. Low-entropy light is called coherent because its predictable in its photonic variations, high-entropy light is called incoherent because is compeltely random and unpredictable in its photonic variations.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy is the real measure of novelty in the universe, sometimes mistaken as disorder, but this is not completely accurate, as disorder can be subjective in a universal sense, but novelty is not subjective. An example of this subjectivity would be like an inhabited house, as opposed to an uninhabited one, the inhabited one has higher degrees of entropy because there are more unexpected events and variations happening constantly, yet appears more ordered than the abandoned one. In the other hand the abandoned one has less unexpected events and variations happening, therefore has lower entropy, but appears disordered, its state becoming more predictable over time.
Incandescent light can have some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Luminescent light from semiconductors can have some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
SpectrumView state of the art monitors make possible to experience a form of analog time dilation from its high-entropy light visibly experienced per second.
State of the art computers can experience a form of digital time dilation from what can be transmitted by its low-entropy light.
Analog signals are high-entropy eddies, while digital signals are synthesized on/off bits, both have unique applications and purposes in our modern world.
Photomodulation
Semiconductors are a genuine marvel of our age, and provide indispensable and very useful technological applications to our modern ways, their ability to transmit digital information and be transformed into solar cells is worthy of praise and reverence, however when it comes to producing light for our prolonged consumption, such as in a computer monitor, its photonic nature is simply second class to our biology, and can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions in the eye tissue,¹ causing ocular harm, ² and negatively disrupting the pineal gland, ³ which produces neuro-protecting hormones such as melatonin, serotonin, and pinoline. ⁴
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Dr. Ray Peat
On the other hand, infrared light frequencies penetrate deep in the tissue, and regenerate optic cells, reducing ocular inflammation, alleviating photosensitiveness, and improving blood circulation to the brain, enhancing cognitive function and memory formation. ⁵ SpectrumView monitors are naturally rich in a broad infrared light spectrum, something completely lacking in common monitors.

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau
A spectrum is the “rainbow” of a light source, terrestial or celestial.

“Returning is how the way progresses.”
– The Tao
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 as well. Frontier research in nanophotonics and thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent backlights more available for mobile screens and monitors in the future, for your only hope for a future.
