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)
Light has been a great mystery since the dawn of time, and although the nature of light is apparent to our eyes, it is also so obscure that no complete description has been given, because few things are as enigmatic as the essence of light. ¹ Physically speaking, there are only two mechanisms of producing light, incandescence and luminescence. Incandescence is the emission of light from the thermal state of an element, and luminescence is the emission of light coming from non-thermal state.
Visibly speaking, light itself is invisible, only the source and its reflection are visible
Incandescence is a light that naturally seeks the state of maximum entropy, while luminescence is a light that naturally seeks the state of minimum entropy. This is one of the most fundamental In light, entropy is the variation in its photons, such as phase, frequency, polarization, and direction. High entropy corresponds wider and more random variations, while lower entropy corresponds to narrower and more uniform variations. Even though they may be of a similar hue or color temperature, their entropy is one of the things that makes these two types of light fundamentally different, both types of light have their different uses and applications.
Natural incandescence comes from the Sun and the celestial bodies
Artificial incandescence comes from fire.
Artificial incandescence also comes from incandescent vacuum bulbs.
Artificial luminescence comes from light emitting semiconductors and fluorescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence also comes from some nocturnal insects, deep sea creatures, aurora borealis and will-o’-the-wisp.
Incandescent light is born from the increase of vibrational energy and the entropy through classical mechanics.
Luminescent light is the decrease in entropy through quantum mechanics.
Incandescence naturally produces an uninterrupted continuous broadband spectrum while luminescence naturally produces a discontinuous segregated narrowband spectrum, a light that may appear white to the eye, but because in reality has real spectral voids where there is literally no light present. Incandescence is unrivaled for high spectral fidelity color rendering, something luminescence can’t do because its inherently a handful of spectral band, however luminescence is unrivaled for digital information transmission, something incandescence can’t do because its inherent thermal inertia naturally prevents it. These two mechanisms to produce light have their unique properties allow for different uses.

Paradoxically, incandescent light production mechanism is the most efficient way to produce light in the universe, producing more total photon output or lux from the same energy compared to luminescence, however much are invisible infrared. But because luminescence has inherently a segregated spectrum, more spectral bands can be further omitted, leading to an increase in visible light or lumens from the same energy.
“Without looking out of your window
you can know the Way of Heaven.”
– The Tao
The arrival of electricity revolutionized our life, but the first electric light source was still a continuation of the same kind of light we had been seeing since the dawn of time, incandescence. It was the arrival of the electro-luminescent bulb that marked the real change in our lighting, and today is everywhere, especially coming from computer screens, the interface to our modern day indispensable tool, the computer, however it was the arrival of SpectrumView incandescent monitors that marked the real change in computer interface lighting, and made possible to return to the same kind of light we had been seeing since the dawn of time. ²
“The Way that progresses
seems to return.”
– The Tao
Entropy
Entropy of light = novelty of its photons.
Entropy in its purest sense is novelty or unexpectedness, common narrative defines it as disorder, but this is not entirely accurate because order and disorder are subjective, but novelty is not. Order and disorder are observer dependent, for example wild grown vegetarian can appear disordered and chaotic to Humans, but for the endemic organisms there, it may be very ordered and natural, and conversely a very well trimmed and clean lawn may be very disordered and unnatural to them.
Another example of the subjectivity and incongruent common definition of entropy as disorder, would be like an inhabited house vs an abandoned one, the inhabited one has higher degrees of entropy, because it has more variations and unexpected events happening, the system has more degrees of freedom, more possible outcomes. The abandoned house in the other hand has lower degrees of entropy, because it has much less variations and unexpected events happening, its behavior becomes predictable, it deteriorates in foreseeable ways and predictable patterns.
However, if the common definition of entropy being disorder is accurate, then the lower entropy abandoned house in theory is the ordered one, but this is not so, and the inhabited house with higher entropy in theory should be the disordered one, but this is also not so. Therefore entropy cannot be properly defined as disorder, because order and disorder are subjective, but novelty is not subjective, therefore entropy is more accurately defined as novelty, and novelty can exist in both ordered and disorder as long as the configurations are always novel, or unpredictable.
The Lorenz attractor is an example of an unpredictable chaotic system inside a predictable ordered system.
The common definition of entropy being disorder was created in an era that emerged in the 18th century during the industrial revolution, an era obsessed with predictability and control, a culture that saw the cosmos primarily through the lens of predictable extraction, rather than through unpredictable creation. And so the framework they built to define entropy like a mirror inevitably reflected their technological and spiritual cosmology.
“An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump.”
Joseph Wright of Derby, 1768.
The universe could be actually trending toward monotony, uniformity and predictability, instead of the opposite. And so without entropy generation the universe may actually decay into stagnation and death, therefore a culture or mindset that prioritizes order-preservation over novelty-generation may be actually hastening their death.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
“The sage travels all day over the land and sea,
but does not lose sight of Infinity.”
– The Tao Verse 26
The universe generates low entropy structured systems that generate more entropy, and while those structures must themselves be low-entropy to function, the final direction must be towards higher entropy generation. And so. generating entropy may be really the most important cosmological imperative, and the petrification into uniformity and homogeneity may be the true cosmic tragedy.
Electro-incandescent light emitters are made from glass and metal, and can generate some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Electro-luminescent light emitters are made from silicon wafers and can generate some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Analog signals are high in entropy and made of continuous spirals, while digital signals are low in entropy and made of discrete steps, like a on/off bit, both have unique and very useful applications.
State of the art SpectrumView analog light monitors makes the user experience a form of analog time dilation from the high entropy light experienced per second.
Frontier computers can experience a form of digital time dilation from what can be transmitted over its ultra low entropy luminescent digital light.
Photomodulation
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Broadband infrared light is found in sunsets.

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau
Photomodulation is the ability for cells and tissue to regenerate via infrared light, which means it can reduce ocular inflammation after prolonged exposure, alleviating photosensitivity, improving blood circulation and cognition. Invisible infrared frequencies penetrate beyond the surface of the skin into the body. SpectrumView monitors emit a lot of broadband infrared light thanks to its incandescent nature, something completely lacking in common monitors. ¹

Legacy lightbox version is mostly made of wood, it is more robust, more compact, but heavier.
Dymaxion lightbox is a new version and is mostly made of brass sheet, and its brighter and quieter. New orders will be made in this version unless otherwise requested.
Dymaxion means dynamic maximum tension and was a name coined by inventor Buckminster Fuller and refers to the dynamics of air with the tensed metal sheets, as perfected in the cathedral organ.

SpectrumView monitors are built to last a long time, and for long usage sessions, made with quality wood and quality repairable components, sophisticated airflow design, genuine brass heat-sink reflectors and low-speed fans, substantial EMF shielding, and strong copper legs. The incandescent light bulbs needed are standard Edison E27 base, and approved size and wattage for household appliances such as ovens and fridges. For Europe and other 240v countries an inner switch is included so it can work with 240v and you can use 120v bulbs in a 240v country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years.
Frontier research in thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent screens be more widely accessible and common in the future. ⁸
Using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day will increase your electricity usage, and so is recommended it to also solar backlight it during the day if possible, and so the energy consumption at night will cancel out. Also, if used during winter the equivalent thermal energy radiated will be subtracted from your heating costs. The lightboxes can also be used as an excellent cured meat dehydrator when faced down into a table, radiating curing infrared light without heat and ample continuous air inflow and outflow.
