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)
The nature of light has been pondered since antiquity with ample depths of understanding and interpretation. Although the nature of light is apparent to our eyes, it is also so obscure that no complete description has been given. Physically speaking, light is invisible, we only see the source and the reflection, and there are only two sources of light, incandescence and luminescence genesis. Incandescence is the emission of light including invisible light from a body due to its thermal state, as the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of the heated element increases, producing continuous vibrations and high entropy photons through classical mechanics, and generating maximum entropy per photon, meaning maximum degrees of freedom in frequency, rotation, translation, reflection and phase. It is a light that naturally seeks the state of maximum entropy, producing a continuous broadband spectrum. Luminescence is the emission of light from a non-thermal process, that operates via non-equilibrium dynamics, it is also called cold light. This light is governed by quantum mechanics, and produces a segregated and narrowband spectrum. These two mechanisms to produce light imprint in the photon a signature phase and reflection.
Natural incandescence is produced in thunder and the celestial bodies.
Artificial incandescence is produced in fire and incandescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence is produced by some night creatures and atmospheric phenomena like will-o’-the-wisp and aurora borealis.
Artificial luminescence is produced in light emitting semiconductors and fluorescent bulbs.
One of the most fascinating dichotomies between incandescence and luminescence is that as the energy density is increased, incandescence will tend towards even higher entropy, while luminescence towards zero entropy. In other words, in luminescence photons will tend towards the same phase, frequency, polarization, and direction as the threshold of energy density is achieved, for example lasers. In incandescence the exact opposite happens, the spectrum gets even wider with more variations in the photon’s phase, frequency, polarization, and direction like in the Sun.

“Light is the principal person in a painting.”
– Edouard Manet
Luminescent light genesis is produced through decreasing entropy through quantum mechanics.
Luminescent semiconductor light can have some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Luminescent light sources have intrinsically a phase biased reflection.
The Glory of Saint Augustine.
Philippe de Champaigne, 1645.
Incandescent light genesis is produced by increasing entropy through classical mechanics.
Incandescent light has some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Incandescent light sources intrinsically reflect light uniformly in all directions.
Incandescence is the most efficient mechanism to produce light in the universe, generating more light by the same amount of energy than luminescence, however a lot is infrared. On the other hand luminescence is the least efficient way to produce light in the universe, but because this light can be modified to only fall in our visible range, an apparent efficiency can be observed. However if we were to reproduce the complete spectrum, from infrared to ultraviolet, the total energy required would be less for incandescence than for luminescence.

Incandescent and luminescent light sources have their unique applications and usefulness, for example incandescence is unmatched for high spectral fidelity and color rendering, something luminescence can’t compete because this light is inherently a handful of frequencies, that may appear white to the eye, but in reality has real spectral voids where there is literally no light present. However luminescence is unmatched for digital information transmission, indispensable for our worldwide fiber optic communications, luminescent emitters can also be made very small and can illuminate wide open spaces less expensive.
“The sage travels all day over the land and sea,
but does not lose sight of Infinity.”
– The Tao Verse 26
The arrival of electricity revolutionized our way of life, but the first electric light was still a continuation of incandescence, the same we had been exposed since the dawn of time. It was the arrival of electro-luminescence that marked the change in light, and today we are surrounded by it, especially from screens, the interface that mediates information through light to our modern indispensable tool, the computer. ²
An incandescence vacuum bulb is made of glass and metal.
A light emitting semiconductor is made of silicon wafers and phosphors.
Incandescent light is a continuous signal that has theoretically infinite photonic resolution while luminescent light is a synthetic signal as it is inherently made of on/off discrete steps at the quantum level. Both are very useful and have unique applications in our modern world.
State of the art computers can experience a form of digital time dilation from what can be transmitted through its ultra-low entropy luminescent light.
State of the art SpectrumView monitors makes the user experience a form of analog time dilation from the ultra-high entropy light experienced per second.
What is entropy?
Entropy of light = novelty of its photons.
Entropy is the measure of novelty in a universal sense, low entropy corresponding to predictability while high entropy to unexpectedness, both high and low entropy are useful and necessary. However entropy is commonly misunderstood as disorder which is not accurate, because this is seen from a anthropocentric point of view, as order and disorder are subjective in a universal sense, so entropy is better defined as novelty which is not subjective. Entropy is about unexpectedness and freedom of probabilities, which can exist in both ordered and disordered systems.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
For example take an inhabited dwelling and an uninhabited one, the uninhabited place has lower entropy because it has less unexpected events happening, and will continue to decrease in entropy, because its state will be more and more predictable over time.The inhabited dwelling has much higher degrees of entropy than the uninhabited, because more unexpected events are happening constantly. If we believe the common definition of entropy being disorder, then the inhabited dwelling since it has more entropy, should appea more disordered than the uninhabited one, but this is not so And this is why defining entropy as disorder is not accurate because order and disorder are subjective, rather, it is better defined as novelty, because it can also exist in ordered systems.
“Without looking out of your window
one can know the Way of Heaven.”

Photomodulation
Infrared light penetrates the skin.
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Broadband infrared frequencies are found in sunsets.
Semiconductors are a genuine marvel of our age and provide indispensable applications worthy of praise and reverence, however when it comes to producing light for our continuous exposure like a computer screen, its photonic nature is simply second class to our analog biology. Prolonged and routine exposure to semiconductor light can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions in the eye tissue,¹ causing damage, ² and also negatively disrupting the neuro-protecting pineal gland. ³ SpectrumView incandescent monitors in the other hand regenerate sight because are rich in broadband infrared light, something completely lacking in common monitors. Infrared frequencies penetrate deep in the ocular tissue and regenerate cells, reducing inflammation and alleviating photo-sensitivity, improving blood circulation to the brain, and enhancing cognitive performance and memory formation. ⁴ Making SpectrumView the monitors well-suited for extended periods of creative work or office tasks, offering exceptional color rendering index of 100 and a broad range of infrared light. CRI is how well a light source reveals the true colors, incandescence is the perfect reference by definition.
The spectrum
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau

Legacy lightbox is the classic design and is mostly made of wood, it is more compact and more robust, but is heavier.
Dymaxion is a new lightbox design and is mostly of brass sheet, it is lighter, brighter, and cooler, but it extends back half the legacy depth size more.
Precision woodwork, thick frame, detachable copper stands and natural lac varnished grips.
SpectrumView monitors are built to last a long time, and for long working sessions, made with high quality wood and serviceable components, thermally protected by sophisticated airflow cooling design, with genuine brass heat-sink reflectors and low-speed fans, EMF shielding, copper wiring and strong copper mounts detachable for transportation or to suspend in front of a window for solar backlighting. The incandescent light bulbs needed are standard Edison E27 base, and approved size and wattage for household appliances such as ovens and are not banned because they are not for space illumination. For Europe and other 240v countries an inner switch is included so it can work with 240v at the flick of an inner switch, which means you can use 120v bulbs in a 240v country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years. The lighbox when placed faced down and not in use, is also the ideal cured meat and fruit dehydrator, providing precise infrared radiation with a continuous aiflow without much heat. Keep in mind that using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day to backlight your SpectrumView will increase your electricity usage, but if solar backlit the overall consumption will cancel out. Also if used during winter the equivalent thermal energy radiated will be subtracted from your heating costs. Frontier research in thermophotovoltaics and nanophotonics, ⁸ will make possible incandescent backlights more widely available in the future.
