Interview with Author David John |Barrington Parsons

 

 

 

1. What inspired you to write this book? I have had a considerable interest in many aspects of the natural world, including specific aspects of animal behavior that science could not explain. Following several years of research, I arrived at a unique and revolutionary theory, Matrix Model Theory, that provided answers to these and many other questions. Having completed this work I was motivated to write this book to share the theory.

 

2. What exactly is it about and who is it written for? This book introduces and describes Matrix Model Theory which provides answers to the following questions: What triggered the Big Bang, which was the cause of matter to spontaneously be created out of what had previously been a great void of nothingness? How did life start on Earth? Several scientists who are foremost in their fields have calculated that life arising from random chemical reactions during the early period of Earth's existence is a mathematical impossibility. Once life had become established, how did even the simplest life-form evolve a degree of cognition it would need to survive and replicate? How do many animals, from eels to migrating birds navigate with great precision? How do bees, ants and termites, among others in the insect world appear to function as 'super organisms' seemingly on some occasions functioning as though under the influence of a single mind? This is particularly true of termites who cooperatively construct and repair complex tunnels seemingly working from the same 'blueprint' even though they are blind? Matrix Model Theory provides answers to these seemingly unrelated questions. In terms of higher animals, including mankind, the theory describes how their minds function, each species having a unique matrix of interconnections between their conscious and unconscious domains. There is also an interesting phenomenon relating to traits in humans that are known to be inherited from their parents. It has been established that only between 5% and 50% of inherited traits are attributed to their DNA. Where does the rest come from? This is known as the 'missing heredity problem'. There is more to determining the inheritance of traits beyond 'just genes' The genes to fully define many traits are just not there. The theory provides a comprehensive solution to this problem. This book is written for the general reader with an enquiring mind, and who is interested in one of the alternative mechanisms as to how living entities function.

 

3. What do you hope readers will get out of reading your book? Readers will gain a completely new perspective as to how life started, and how living entities function, beyond just the obvious biological answers. This is particularly true with the theory's explanation as to how the minds of higher animals and mankind's minds function. The reader will also be given an insight as to how telepathy works. Although a weak and intermittent phenomenon, wide ranging research from several universities have demonstrated that it does exist. It provides another insight into how the mind works. The book provides an accessible and hopefully interesting and entertaining read.

 

4. How did you decide on your book’s title and cover design? The title reflects the complex interplay between the various domains of the mind, which are explained in detail. The cover design depicts the Big Bang, which was the coming into being of matter in the universe. Time moves from top to bottom of the cover page. Next, below the black void, is representation of the coming into existence of stars, and, below that, the arrival of planets, including planet Earth. The background color then changes from blue to green, representing the evolution of life. This eventually led to the evolution of the human with the supreme achievement of evolution processes, the human mind represented by the figure of Einstein.

 

5. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers – other than run!? Writing non-fiction invariably requires a very considerable amount of research, which provides sources of information. It is essential that all publications and documents used as sources are fully credited and defined. This requires a large running bibliography and source reference document which can run into many tens of pages. This book, for example, refers to over sixty sources. It is also essential to develop a chapter plan that provides a logical sequence of information such that each chapter provides a foundation of explanation in order for the reader to understand subsequent chapters. Information should, ideally, be provided in an interesting and, hopefully, entertaining manner.  

 

6. What trends in the book world do you see -- and where do you think the book publishing industry is heading? One can see an increasing use of technology leading to a reduction of publication costs which in turn would enable publishers to be more flexible in the types of books they are prepared to publish. Publishers must be reasonably sure that they will make money out of publishing a book; the cost of production, marketing, promotion and financial record keeping will influence a publish decision; using technology to reduce these costs will enable the publisher to increase the number of books they publish. In the near future, the use of AI (artificial intelligence) authored books can be sure to become more common. It is even possible that a particular AI software unit will adopt a 'mythical' author's name and be responsible for creating a best seller and a reader following! 

 

7. Were there experiences in your personal life or career that came in handy when writing this book? Previous research projects have equipped me with the ability to find with the ability to find many diverse sources and manage large amounts of data. These were essential tools for writing this book, since it is very research dependent.

 

8. How would you describe your writing style? Which writers or books is your writing similar to? I try to use an easy-to-read style which will be easy to understand and hopefully entertain a wide range of readers. I think every writer has a somewhat unique style, so I am not aware of my style being particularly similar to any other author of book.

 

9. What challenges did you overcome in the writing of this book? As indicated earlier, accessing a very wide and diverse set of sources and editing those down to the most useful and pertinent set of facts has its own challenges. Then the processing of this information to provide the fact-based foundations to support and evolve the new theory, provides a separate challenge. Previous experience helped considerably with these issues.

 

10. If people can buy or read one book this week or month, why should it be yours? If anyone wishes to read a refreshing, unique and highly informative book, which explains in a new way some of the many strange aspects of animal and human behavior, then this is the book for you.
