Kodama means "echo" or "spirit of the trees"

I just thought you might like to know

AFAIK the Kodama state was first written in 1988
by Hideo Kodama

It seems the Japanese have what they call "clans" and there is a Kodama clan. There have been other famous Kodamas besides Hideo.

There was a famous gangster named Yoshio Kodama.


The "echo" or "tree-spirit" state appears now to be the base state of quantum gravity. It takes a positive cosmo constant and corresponds classically to deSitter space.

Hi Marcus. Just passing through on a lazy afternoon. I spend a lot of time in the trees these days, and Echo has always been one of my favorite minor dieties. Just thought I'd let you know!

Thanks for being here,

R.
