	So what does emergence have to do with quantum fields? Well, interactions between quantum fields can give rise to emergent phenomena that mathematically and physically behave like new fields.

In [[wikipedia:condensed matter physics\|condensed matter physics]], these are known as [[wikipedia:Quasiparticle\|quasiparticle]] fields.

	While these fields aren’t “fundamental” in the way the electromagnetic field is, their behavior is often indistinguishable from that of primary fields within their domains. This may lead one to suppose that fundamental fields could themselves be emergent, quasiparticle-like fields which arise from even deeper underlying structures yet undiscovered.

That, however, lies beyond the scope of this discussion.

	To date, many quasiparticle fields have been detected and documented. These include vibrational quasiparticle fields like the phonon (which emerges from collective patterns of sound or heat) and the roton (specific to superfluid helium). They also include magnetic and spin-based quasiparticles such as the magnon (created by quantized spin waves in magnetically ordered systems) and the spinon (resulting from fractionalized spin excitations in certain quantum spin liquids).

	But let’s not spend all day detailing the many quasiparticle fields discovered thus far and what they result from. Let’s just say there are still plenty left for science to uncover -- beyond the plasmons, polarons, excitons, holons, Cooper pairs, anyons, composite fermions, vortices, and Bogoliubov quasiparticles we already know about.

	Now, ~~if I were some detached, unconscious intelligence wrought into existence with total isolation from reality for~~ the ~~sole purpose~~ of ~~evaluating this postulate~~, ~~I presume I would conclude that one would prefer to prove such~~ a field~~'s existence from~~ the ~~detection~~ of ~~its particle~~.		Now, having said all of that: where's the [[Methods of Eternity\|Method of Eternity]] here? Well, '''Eternitas Ex Campis''' or "Eternity from Fields" has experience itself being a [[wikipedia:quasiparticle\|quasiparticle]] field generated by the complex interactions of other fields and particles via patterns of electrical impulses and [[wikipedia:Neurotransmission\|neural activity]] in our brains.

	However, Cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am, is intrinsically an emphatic assertion of that detection. It is an axiom to build upon because regardless of what you define your experiential reality as, you are sole witness to its existence and therefore an unwitting prognosticator of its empirical necessity.		We could name this [[wikipedia:quasiparticle\|quasiparticle]] the [[Experion\|experion]] and its corresponding field should behave like other quantum fields. An excitation at a point in this field (such as [[wikipedia:Neurotransmission\|brain activity]]) is what causes the particle and its [[wikipedia:emergence\|emergent]] phenomena to exist. A cessation of this excitation would cause this particle and its [[wikipedia:emergence\|emergent phenomena]] to also cease.

	Experior ergo sum or "I experience, therefore I am," broadens this axiom to acknowledge that any experiential being irrespective of its ability to contemplate its own state or substrate is due the same recognition of being and vigilance against torturous sensations as any saint or savant.

	Now, having said all of that: where's the Methodus Ad Aeternum here? Well, the Ex Campis or "From Fields" method has experience itself being a quasiparticle field generated by the complex interactions of other fields and particles via patterns of electrical impulses and neural activity in our brains.

	We could name this quasiparticle the experion and its corresponding ~~experion~~ field should behave like other quantum fields. An excitation at a point in this field (such as brain activity) is what causes the particle and its emergent phenomena to exist. A cessation of this excitation would cause this particle and its emergent phenomena to also cease.

	However, the underlying field and positions within this space still exist and such a position could become excited again resulting in a new particle where one had previously existed.		However, the underlying field and positions within this space still exist and such a position could become excited again resulting in a new particle where one had previously existed.

	This position in the experion field is the egonaut ~~we discussed in Magnus Ego.~~		This position in the [[Experion\|experion]] field would be the [[egonaut]].

	Thus, in our thought experiment about switching existence with the dog, the egonaut is the underlying position which is the foundational "you" upon which all other properties are applied. So the mind generating the experion and the body keeping the mind alive are what generate the excitation and thus the experion particle.

While these fields aren’t “fundamental” in the way the electromagnetic field is, their behavior is often indistinguishable from that of primary fields within their domains. This may lead one to suppose that fundamental fields could themselves be emergent, quasiparticle-like fields which arise from even deeper underlying structures yet undiscovered. That, however, lies beyond the scope of this discussion.

	To date, many ~~[[wikipedia:Quasiparticle\|~~quasiparticle]] fields have been detected and documented. These include vibrational ~~[[wikipedia:Quasiparticle\|~~quasiparticle]] fields like the [[wikipedia:phonon\|phonon]] (which emerges from collective patterns of sound or heat) and the [[wikipedia:roton\|roton]] (specific to superfluid helium). They also include magnetic and spin-based quasiparticles such as the [[wikipedia:magnon\|magnon]] (created by quantized spin waves in magnetically ordered systems) and the [[wikipedia:spinon\|spinon]] (resulting from fractionalized spin excitations in certain quantum spin liquids).

	But let’s not spend all day detailing the many ~~[[wikipedia:Quasiparticle\|~~quasiparticle]] fields discovered thus far and what they result from.

	So, we have a universe that is described best using ~~[[wikipedia:~~Quantum Field Theory~~\|Quantum Field Theory]]~~. The complex interactions of those quantum fields and particles can give rise to ~~[[wikipedia:emergence\|~~emergent]] phenomena which can behave themselves as particles with their own corresponding quantum field.

	Moving on, it seems likely that the very unique and vivid tapestry of [[wikipedia:sensation\|sensation]], [[wikipedia:emotion\|emotion]], [[wikipedia:perception\|perception]], and all other byproducts wrought forth by the apparatus of mind are beyond distinct from the isolated mechanics that generate them and as such should be viewed as ~~[[wikipedia:emergence\|~~emergent]] and furthermore as plausibly ~~[[wikipedia:~~quasiparticle~~\|quasiparticle]]~~ in nature.

	Now, having said all of that: where's the [[Methods of Eternity\|Method of Eternity]] here? Well, '''Eternitas Ex Campis''' or "Eternity from Fields" has experience itself being a ~~[[wikipedia:~~quasiparticle~~\|quasiparticle]]~~ field generated by the complex interactions of other fields and particles via patterns of electrical impulses and ~~[[wikipedia:Neurotransmission\|~~neural activity]] in our brains.

	We could name this ~~[[wikipedia:quasiparticle\|~~quasiparticle]] the [[Experion\|experion]] and its corresponding field should behave like other quantum fields. An excitation at a point in this field (such as ~~[[wikipedia:Neurotransmission\|~~brain activity]]) is what causes the particle and its ~~[[wikipedia:emergence\|~~emergent]] phenomena to exist. A cessation of this excitation would cause this particle and its ~~[[wikipedia:emergence\|~~emergent phenomena]] to also cease.

	However, the underlying field and positions within this space still exist and such a position could become excited again resulting in a new ~~[[wikipedia:~~quasiparticle~~\|quasiparticle]]~~ where one had previously existed.

	As an additional note, if '''Eternitas Ex Campis''' is how experiential existence operates at a fundamental level, then our position or [[egonaut]] in this ~~[[Experion\|~~experion field]] would likely be [[wikipedia:gravitationally bound\|gravitationally bound]] to this planet as long as the Earth exists and we don’t die outside its [[wikipedia:gravitation well\|gravitation well]].

	While this shouldn't change the [[Infinite Journey]] as a whole (and namely the expected [[Cosmic Justice\|experiential entropy]]), it would change the order for how the path unfolds.

	In other words, we could have a high probability of our next [[outpost]] being on this planet at some point in the future, depending on how soon your [[egonaut]] excitation reoccurs.
