Dual-Galar energy
Alexander Priymak
Preface - Awakening
Early 2023. Around five in the morning.I woke up abruptly - not from a sound, not from light. I simply found myself in the darkness with an absolutely clear sense that I had just been holding something important. There was a name in my head. Not an image, not an idea - a name, as if I had spoken it aloud a second ago.Dual-Galar Energy.I wrote it down in my phone and fell back asleep.In the morning I reread the note. The name remained just as precise as it had been in the moment of waking. That surprised me - dreams usually dissolve within minutes. This one did not.I spent several hours trying to understand what had been communicated to me. Not invented - communicated. The distinction is fundamental.In time I understood: this was not random noise from a sleeping brain. It was an entry point into a system I had long been building - without realizing it. The system concerns the nature of knowledge, the nature of sleep, and the nature of what we call reality.This tractatus is an attempt to describe what I saw.I make no claim to scientific verification in the traditional sense. But I do claim internal consistency: every statement here either rests on observation - mine or someone else's - or is clearly marked as hypothesis. The reader is entitled to disagree. The reader is not entitled to say that what lies before them is beautiful words without substance.Let us begin with space.
Chapter I - The Cube
All events have already happened.This is not a metaphor and not a consolation. It is a structural claim about the nature of reality - and it has serious foundations.In 1908, mathematician Hermann Minkowski proposed describing reality not as a flow of events but as a four-dimensional continuum in which past, present, and future exist simultaneously. Time in this model is not a river but a dimension. You do not move through time. You move across it, as through space.Half a century later, physicist Hugh Everett proposed an interpretation of quantum mechanics known today as the many-worlds theory. Every moment in which a system can develop along several scenarios, it develops along all of them at once - in parallel branches of reality. None cancels another. All of them exist.I am not a physicist. But these ideas gave me language for what I had observed differently.Imagine a boundless space made up of cubes. Each cube is a state: a specific day, a specific decision, a specific person at a specific point in their life. In the central cube is you - here and now. Around you are all the other versions of who you might have been, who you were, who you will become.Scientist. Janitor. Artist. President. Not in the sense of social role - in the sense of trajectory. Every decision you make moves you from one cube to another. It does not create a new cube - it moves you into one that already exists.This is an important distinction. You do not build your life. You navigate a space that already is.A cube does not exist in isolation. Your cube intersects with the cubes of other people. It is at precisely these points of intersection that what we call chance occurs - a meeting, a loss, a turning point. Chance in this model is not the absence of cause. It is the collision of two trajectories, each following its own logic.One question remains open: if the entire space already exists, how do we gain access to what lies beyond our current cube?The answer is in the next chapter.
Chapter II - Consciousness
You are not one of many. You are one - in many.Before speaking of access to other cubes, a simpler question must be answered: who exactly is in the cube?The answer is not obvious.If we take Everett's model seriously - that all branches of reality exist in parallel - an inevitable consequence follows. In each branch exists a version of you. With its own body, its own history, its own decisions. This means that right now - as you read this text - there exist many people who look like you, carry your name, but are living entirely different lives.Here a fork arises, on which everything else depends.First position: each of these versions is a separate, independent person. Its own consciousness, its own soul, its own fate. Then the experience from other realities is someone else's experience. Someone else's story.Second position: consciousness is one. It is embodied in different bodies in different realities - but remains unified. The bodies are different. The consciousness is one.I hold the second position. And here is why this changes everything.If consciousness is one - then the experience accumulated in another reality is your own experience. Not someone else's. Yours - simply lived in another body, in other circumstances. In that reality you faced a loss that did not happen here. Made a decision you have not made here. Survived a situation that has not yet occurred here - or never will.That experience exists. It is yours. The only question is whether there is access to it.Note that we are not speaking of travel between realities. You do not move. The body stays here. We are speaking of something else - of the capacity of consciousness to receive information from a space wider than one reality.Is there a channel for this?There is. And it operates every night.
Chapter III - Knowledge
We do not learn. We remember.Pay attention to children.Not to what they are taught - to what they know without being taught. A child who has never been explained injustice feels it precisely and sharply. A person who has never studied music hears when a note is false. People across cultures with no connection to one another arrive at similar moral intuitions, similar images, similar fears.Where does this come from?The standard answer: evolution, instinct, cultural inheritance. These are honest answers. But they describe the mechanism of transmission - not the source.Plato asked this question two and a half thousand years ago. And gave an answer that has never been refuted - only contested. In the dialogue Meno he formulates what is called anamnesis: the soul before embodiment in a body possessed knowledge. Not partial - complete. Birth does not give knowledge. Birth suppresses it. What we call learning is not the acquisition of the new. It is the restoration of the forgotten.I take Plato as an interlocutor - because his observation is precise.I will add my own.If consciousness is unified and exists across multiple realities simultaneously - then over its cumulative history it has accumulated a vast body of experience. Real, lived, embodied experience. Not abstract knowledge - but memory of specific events, specific decisions, specific consequences. This archive exists. It is yours.Birth into one reality cuts consciousness off from direct access to this archive. Then society activates - kindergarten, school, career, a system of artificial values. It is not malicious. It simply does not know about the archive. And so it builds a new layer over it - standardized, averaged, convenient for management.The result is that a person lives one reality - and calls it life.But the archive does not disappear. It waits.And there is a moment when access to it opens.
Chapter IV - Energy
Invisible does not mean absent.In early 2023, I dreamed a name.Not an image, not a story - a name. Two words with an absolute internal logic. I woke at five in the morning, wrote it down, and fell back asleep. In the morning the record was precise. The name had not dissolved - as dreams dissolve.Dual-Galar Energy.Dual - describes two directions of the energy's movement between two points: the reality of sleep and the reality of a specific cube. Two poles of one movement.Galyara - a Ukrainian word. Boat. Ship. A vessel that moves between shores.I spent a great deal of time trying to understand what had been transmitted to me. I arrived at the following.Dual-Galar Energy is a substance that permeates everything. Every object, every thing, every living being in every reality. It is invisible. Not because it is absent - but because we have no organ to perceive it. Like infrared radiation: it exists, it acts, but the eye does not register it.Energy absorbs the experience of every object with which a person has interacted - not only in this reality, but in all realities where that object exists. The phone in your pocket exists in thousands of parallel versions. In each - its own owner, its own history, its own accumulated experience. Energy is the archivist of the space of cubes.At night - during sleep - it shifts direction. It switches from objects to the person. And transmits.Two forms of energy and the act of non-interventionI illuminate energy with black paint. I do not create it - I illuminate it. I make visible what exists but is not perceived. The artist here is not a creator and not a magician. The artist is a witness who found a way to show.In the course of my work I discovered that energy exists in two forms - and one particular state, which revealed itself through non-intervention.Phase I - Liquid. The active state. Energy penetrates an object and absorbs its experience. Within twelve hours - one daily cycle, before the next night - the artist can unite it with acrylic. Varnish fixes this form. The energy remains black. These are the works of the collection covered in black aggressive texture.Phase II - Crystallized. Possible only after Phase I. From the fixed black energy the artist extracts and isolates crystals - places them in a glass vial. Without the first phase, crystallization is impossible. The work CRYSTALLIZATION - three vials of black sand - is the only work in the collection where energy is shown in pure form, without an object-carrier.Non-intervention - The Silver Form. There exists a third state - the one energy takes without the artist's intervention. Theoretically, if the liquid form is not fixed, after seven daily cycles it completes its transformation on its own - loses its saturation and transitions into a chrome, silver state. The artist did not observe this process literally. He imagined it - and reproduced it intentionally. The silver works in the collection are a philosophical and artistic statement: this is what energy looks like when it has been released. Not fixed. Not intervened with. Allowed to complete itself.Everett described parallel worlds but did not describe the connection between them. Left the question open. Dual-Galar Energy is the answer to his open question. Not a contradiction of science. A continuation from where it stopped.
Chapter V - Sleep
Every night you receive letters from yourself.During the day, consciousness is directed outward.It filters, evaluates, reacts, makes decisions. This is its work in the waking state - to process the flow of external signals and form responses. In this mode it is closed to the incoming. Too occupied with the outgoing.In sleep this changes. Consciousness turns inward. The external flow stops. The filter weakens.It is at this moment that Dual-Galar Energy transmits.It transmits fragments - not complete stories, but pieces. Scenes from other realities where you also live. Situations that occurred there. Decisions that were made there. Consequences that unfolded there. These are not someone else's stories. This is your own experience - lived by another body in another cube.This is precisely why dreams often feel real. Because they are real.Science sees something different in this - and that is honest. During the REM phase of sleep the brain actively processes memory: it sorts the day's experience, builds associations, consolidates skills. This is a verified fact. I do not dispute it. I propose looking wider: at the same moment the brain works with personal memory - consciousness gains access to memory from other realities. Two processes occurring simultaneously. Science describes one. This theory describes the second.What energy transmits is not random. Sleep resonates with what lives in the subconscious right now. Not with what you are consciously thinking about - but with what you carry within you. An unresolved question. An unfinished situation. A new domain where you are only beginning to move. Energy searches the archive for corresponding experience - and transmits it.This is why dreams often surprise. They show not what you expected - but what you need.
Chapter VI - Practice
Knowledge that is not applied is not knowledge. It is information.Most people wake up and lose their dream within a few minutes.This is not weakness of memory. It is the absence of practice. The transition from sleep to waking is abrupt. The external world immediately activates the filter. Consciousness turns outward - and what was received during the night is lost.But there is a moment. Brief - seconds, sometimes minutes. Immediately after waking, when the filter has not yet fully engaged. In this moment a fragment of the dream is still accessible.This is where the practice begins.After waking - do not open the eyes. Darkness. Silence. Grasp any fragment that remains - an image, a sensation, a sound, a face. And begin to reconstruct the sequence in reverse. Not forward - backward. From the fragment to what came before it.Light must not reach the eyes. A palm or a sleep mask. Maximum closeness to darkness - to the state of sleep.The first weeks - fragments. Then - scenes. According to my experience, after approximately three months of regular practice something different begins to happen: dreams that seemed erased are restored completely. Continuations appear - a dream from a month ago receives a development today. This means that new experience is being stored and integrated. The archive begins to work for you.A person who has mastered this practice receives experience without the need to live it in this reality. They have seen how a certain situation unfolds - there, in another cube. Seen a decision and its consequences. That experience is now theirs. Real, embodied, lived - even if by another body.The time spent on learning through mistakes - is freed.The question: where to direct it?
Chapter VII - Foundation
Civilization is what a person builds from who they are.If experience can be acquired faster - what to do with the freed time?This is not a rhetorical question. The direction depends on the answer.I propose three domains. Not as a list of recommendations - as a structural argument. Three forms of knowledge that together constitute a foundation. Remove one - the foundation becomes unstable.Psychology. It gives a person language to understand themselves. Not in the sense of diagnoses - in the sense of mechanisms. Why I react the way I do. What lies behind this decision. How my relationships with others are structured. Without this knowledge a person is manageable - by external stimuli, by other people's narratives, by artificial values imposed before they had the chance to develop their own.Philosophy. It removes the limitations of thought. It teaches asking questions before accepting answers. Verifying assumptions that seem obvious. This is precisely why philosophy was called the science of gentlemen - not because it is elitist, but because it produces a certain type of thinking: free, precise, unafraid of complexity.Art. It synthesizes both. And gives what neither psychology nor philosophy gives separately - a language that works faster than words. An image that conveys what cannot be explained. Any idea that remains only an idea dies. Art carries the idea into the world.These three subjects should become the foundation of education. Not instead of mathematics or physics - beneath them. The foundation on which everything else is built.Through sixth grade - observation of each student. Not grades - observation. Interests, responses, capacities. From seventh - an individual trajectory. Through eleventh - freedom to change direction without consequence. Graduation from school without comparative examinations - because comparison kills individuality before it has the chance to form. After school - a year for oneself. Not for a career. For the question: who do I want to try being?What if a person with such a foundation directs their capacities differently? A physicist with inner balance is a different physicist than one without it. Not a prohibition on knowledge. A change in the vector of its application.This is a hypothesis. An open question. Not a statement.But questions that set direction are more important than statements that close it.
Afterword - The Boundary
This tractatus describes a system. But a system is not reality. It is a map.A map is useful. But it does not replace the territory. The territory is always more complex, more alive, and more contradictory than any description of it.I do not close this system. I open it.Everyone who reads this text and asks a question not found here is already part of what has been written about. Because the questions we carry within us are precisely what the energy hears. What it searches for in the archive. What it transmits for the sake of.Wittgenstein ended his tractatus with: whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.I end differently.What cannot be spoken - can be shown.This is precisely why the collection exists.
Glossary
Cube - a unit of the space of reality. A specific day, a specific event, a specific state. Every decision moves consciousness to the next cube. The space of cubes is infinite and exists in its entirety - it does not unfold sequentially.Dual-Galar Energy - a substance connecting all realities. Invisible. Permeates all objects and beings. Moves between two points: the reality of sleep and the reality of a specific cube. Galyara (Ukr.) - boat, ship.Anamnesis - Plato's term. Learning is remembering. Knowledge is not acquired - it is restored from what the soul possessed before embodiment.Crystallization - the process by which the artist fixes energy in its initial form after the first phase. Represented in the collection as a physical object: black sand in glass vials.Silver form - a philosophical and artistic statement about the final state of energy without the artist's intervention. Reproduced intentionally as the artist's interpretation of an invisible process of completion.

Artist statement
Using a variety of artistic techniques including 3D graphics, classical and digital sculpture, and video performance, Ukrainian artist Alexander Pryimak creates works that evolve a new vector in the interaction of art, psychology and philosophy.The aesthetic codes of these three directions allow the artist to create an effective interaction with his audience.The purpose of such interaction is to create a new, evolutionary paradigm, which includes mental balance, unity of external and internal energies, freedom of thought and harmony in interpersonal relationships.According to Alexander, it is these values in the development of the individual that will become the foundation for the creation of a new civilization, the worldview of which excludes aggression, militancy, looting, corruption and other negative manifestations.
