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 (1493-1541) ⁰
Light itself can’t be seen, only its source and the reflection, yet light is the only thing we can really see in a monitor, everything else is symbol. Not all light is created equal, ¹ at the photonic genesis level, visible light can only come from two sources – through incandescence or luminescence. Incandescent light sources are produced by increasing entropy states, through classical mechanics. Luminescent light sources are produced by decreasing entropy states, through quantum mechanics.
Incandescence
Luminescence
Natural incandescence comes from the Sun and all the celestial bodies.
Natural luminescence comes from some deep sea creatures and fireflies, also from atmospheric phenomena like auroras and will-o’-the-wisps.
The light from fire and incandescent bulbs comes from artificial incandescence.
Artificial luminescence comes from light emitting semiconductors and from bulbs of mercury and phosphorous.
Since the dawn of time, mankind has been around incandescent light sources, the electric incandescent bulb was a continuation of same kind of light. The real change in our light came not by the arrival of electricity, but by the arrival of artificial luminescent light. The difference between the incandescent and luminescent light creation mechanism and energy direction, would be like the difference of how heat is made with an electric coil to a microwave oven – both mechanisms produce light, or in this example heat, but the electric coil does it in a classical manner, heating from the outside to the inside, while the microwave oven heats in an inverse manner, from the inside to the outside. Both mechanisms produce heat, and one produces more joules per watt, but the means to achieve the end is different, and here resides the heart of the matter.

These two mechanisms to produce light will determine the photon-level properties of a light source, regardless of the color temperature they appear to be. Understanding this is indispensable to develop better technology, as both have unique applications that serve different purposes.
SpectrumView backlight is incandescent produced through classical mechanics.
Digital signals are steps like the quantum transition of luminescent light sources, while analog signals are continuous spirals like incandescent light sources.
Ordinary monitor backlight is luminescent and is produced by electron holes through quantum mechanics.
For example high‑entropy incandescent light sources excel in high photonic fidelity and faithful illumination and color rendering, thanks to its broadband spectrum with completely random photon phases, yet its something luminescent light falls very short because its inherently low-entropy and really just a superposition of a handful of frequencies that may appear white, but have real spectral voids where there is literally no light. However, solid-state luminescence is unbeatable for transmitting digital information thanks to its low‑entropy nature, something very advantageous for our modern global communications.
Entropy of light = randomness in its photons.
Entropy is the real measure of novelty in the universe.
“Information without entropy is death”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy in light is the amount of novelty in its photon phase, frequency, polarization, reflection, etc. Incandescence is inherently high-entropy because the photons have very broad degrees of freedom and novelty, while low-entropy luminescence photons are confined and very predictable with very little photonic novelty. Both kinds of light are very useful in their own ways and provide indispensable technological and artistic applications.
Electro-incandescent emitters and light has some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Electro-luminescent semiconductor emitters and light has some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Incandescent light is a “3D” light because its a random phase reflection.
Luminescent semiconductor is more of a flat light because is phase-biased.
SpectrumView incandescent monitors make possible a form of analog time dilation from the massive amounts of high-entropy experienced per second.
Ultra low-entropy light makes possible for frontier computing to experience a form of digital time dilation from the massive amounts of digital information per second.
Semiconductors are genuine marvel and provide very useful modern applications, their ability to work with digital information or be transformed into photovoltaic cells is worthy of praise, however when it comes to producing light for Human consumption, its synthetic nature is third class to our analog biology.
And continuous exposure to this light especially from digital screens, harms the sight and can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions,¹ causing ocular damage, ² and inhibiting the light sensitive pineal gland. René Descartes highly regarded it, ³ and is technically defined as a photo-neuro-endocrine gland. ⁴
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Infrared light is low frequency light, unseen to the eye but our exposure to it regenerates our cells and reduce 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.
“The eye sees the present and the future.”
– Salvador Dali
Light and time are also intimately interwoven, known in Einstein’s general relativity and further in Wheeler and Feynman time-symmetry and 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.

SpectrumView Starlore 27″ Solar-specific 2560 x 1440 (2K), 100Hz, 1ms response time, HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, 178° viewing angle, VA panel, 8 bit per pixel, semi-glossy finish, external power supply 120/240V. Monitor can also be USB powered with special adapter at request. 70x51x5cm 6.8Kg. To use this model you need a window with direct or indirect sunlight, preferably without any shadow casting elements. Having a translucently-daily monitor means you need to adapt to the monitor so completely rearranging your space will most likely be necessary. And cover at least 1 meter around the perimeter of the monitor with a cloth or palm mat, otherwise it can’t work because your pupils will not being able to adjust properly to the intensity of light coming in, if any of this mentioned is not possible then this model will most likely not work for you, but you can still place your favorite desk lamp behind, although for unforeseeable heat dissipation, doing this is not covered in warranty.

The electro-incandescent lightbox.
SpectrumView monitors are built to last, with quality wood and components, thermally protected by sophisticated airflow cooling design, with genuine brass heat-sink reflectors and high quality low-speed fans, additional EMF shielding available upon request. Traditional bee-wax varnished polished wood body, copper wiring, and strong copper mounts, detachable for transportation or to suspend in front of a window for natural incandescence backlight. The incandescent light bulbs are standard Edison base, size and wattage approved for household appliances such as ovens, and are not banned since they are not for general space illumination. The lightbox is also an ideal cured meat and fruit dehydrator when placed faced down, with a soft continuously circulating airflow.
“Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.”
– Mathew 7:20
Japanese precision woodwork with thick frame and detachable strong copper stands with genuine lac varnished grips.
Traditional beewax varnished and polished wood body makes SpectrumView monitors the Rolls-Royce of monitors.
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 treated well. 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 and the day, the electricity usage will stay the same. Cutting edge research in nanophotonics and thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent backlights more widely available in the future, for your only hope for a future.
