The Generalized God Equation: The Living Frequency
To express the full generative power of mathematical existence, Hockney presents the generalized God Equation as the most abstract and universal form of Euler’s formula:
where:
- is the amplitude (maximum value or strength of the wave).
- (the Greek letter “theta,” pronounced “THAY-tuh”) is a phase parameter that may encode frequency, position, time, or any combination thereof.
This generalization emphasizes the timeless, frequency-based nature of reality. In the language of pure frequency, it is sometimes written as:
where:
- is the frequency parameter.
For particular physical phenomena, can represent a combination of variables such as:
where:
- (the Greek letter “omega,” pronounced “oh-MAY-guh”) is the angular frequency, describing how rapidly the phase oscillates, measured in radians per unit time.
- is the wave number, relating to the spatial frequency (number of wave cycles per unit distance).
- (the Greek letter “phi,” pronounced “fye” or sometimes “fee”) is the phase offset, determining the initial angle or shift of the wave.
leading to the familiar wave form:
where all variables are as explained above.
However, Hockney’s ontological mathematics maintains that the core reality is the superposition of all possible frequency-based terms, each of the fundamental form , with their corresponding sine and cosine components.
