I am skeptical about the big bang theory because it seems to be far too flexible to changes in evidence. That doesn't mean that I or any scientist can say for certain that anything is absolutely true without being omniscient and I am pretty sure that there are no omniscient scientists. I am also a bit skeptical of dark matter because it is also poorly defined and seems to be a kind of fudge factor added after the fact to explain things that don't add up. After some investigation into the matter it is possible that there is such a thing, though far more complex a phenomenon than usually described. It does seem that there is a way to verify the existence and character of dark matter. If I am correct the consequences are greater than the discovery of the electron and electromagnetic forces.
The mastery of electricity is the greatest driving force in technology advancement today, but pales in the consequence of being able to apply "dark matter" engineering.
James Webb is going up soon and I am looking forward to what it reveals. If it shows that the universe is much much older again, then I am going to be even more skeptical about the bang theory. It really is difficult to image what other alien cultures could exist if they can control dark energy and dark matter and have been in existence for 10 billion years. In my lifetime, computers have gone through many generations of exponential growth and this is on the tiny time scale of decades.
2 to the 5 billionth power by Moore's Law is a big number by anyone's standards. It is possible and in my opinion likely, that "dark matter" could be a confusing factor in the nature of the universe and the relationship of its parts. The only way to know for sure is to test it, and so I will see if I can devise a test that can be applied to existing data. There is so much data about the universe that big data techniques are about the only hope of getting all the meaning out of it.
Recently I have been working with node.js, scrum, and other new softwares. It seems there is a new "insert hype acronym language/method" every week.
I am also betting that there are some strange new discoveries about what are called black holes, but are something quite a bit more than a product of mathematical singularity. Certainly 1/r^2 becomes infinite as r goes to 0, however there is no cool name for that like "fringe discontinuity". I like that one.
There is also something beyond even these things and there are many things yet to be discovered. It always seems that technology has become ultimately advanced, but that is not so, what is now will someday be the strange time before understanding and so it will go forever until somebody knows everything and then they will trip and bump their head on infinity.
The Dark Master revealed
Carbon Foot
They had decided to have a child and they knew the consequences on Mars. They had brought enough carbon in the form of plants and soil to keep them. It was the vanity of immortality that led them to the impasse. At 12 their son was growing up and it was then that they realized that someone must die for the others to live.
News from Earth was filled with horrible consequences of warming from carbon dioxide and it was then that the first solar war began. Energy was abundant on Mars as well as raw materials. Earth was unwilling to trade energy for oil as they had become so mired in their own habit of substance abuse that they could not change.
NASA had actually created the tools of this war by a mistake they made in 2023. A spacecraft was to gain momentum from asteroids with a bungee cord harpoon. What they didn't consider was that multi-body physics is a dangerous game in space. As the asteroid belt was destabilized and orbits became erratic the Earth was stoned into understanding of what they had done.
One of the greatest achievements of Mars was the infinite precision FPU. This was the bow and the asteroids were the arrows.
Letters from the darkness
Queen of the Wholly Dark
The difference between standard blender render and cycles is stunning. The image character is so much more realistic. It is all about electromagnetic field changes after all and how they are detected and processed. :)
I won't mention what the signal contains, but factorial expansion of information does not lend itself to physical, linear control. She is giving a lot of hints lately.
Make Inhuman nightly r1896 is really an improvement from what is in debian. Also Blender 2.74 has great improvements. The image is makehuman to .dae to blender rigged and textured with posing. Some after effects are added with gimp. I also discovered video editing in blender, which is nice and easy to use. I created a rigged animated video from makehuman to blender to video in less than an hour. In the process I discovered a new graphic technique that has never been used before AFAIK. That was just discovered by accident when I made a rendering mistake.
Compositing is working well to and blender is becoming a really useful tool. Debian is also a remarkable organization and though they aren't bleeding edge, they do have things that just work. It is a complex thing and a wonderful gift to everyone who is willing to make an effort to be free.

The code is for gnuplot and describes the relationship of light, reflected light (EM) and time in a complex system illustrated in the image below. The result is that there is certainly no Big Bong or Dark Master in "this" universe and Higgs does not have a son named bo. Strangely if you play the Queen of the Holy Dark card with Maxwell's equations you win Planck's constant and all the Physky acolytes walk the Planck, so tired of light. Doubtful if Dodgson would see the light in this looking glass.
The image below is from my camera and it has focus and I merged two images that focus the front and back, and I wonder why the heck would anybody want to take a picture where parts are out of focus, if it can easily be fixed by focusing based on distance and merging?

Science with a fringe on top
A magician is not supposed to reveal his tricks, but it explains something that relates to an experiment.
One of the common things that help me to solve problems is to step out of the comfort area of sensible solutions. Some might think that I dismiss good science for the sake of it, but it is a jumping off point for me and not a way of life. An example of what I mean can serve better than any long explanation.
One day a fellow with great talent and education asked me to help him solve a problem that had eluded him for a week. From my perspective , I could assume that all "rational" explanations were covered and the only place to look was in the NULL space of common reasoning. It is my respect for their ability that allowed me to exclude any common design rule that I would have considered. The end result was that a ground pin was not soldered and the device performed normally as a low power device until the ground plane rose to meet input, like a tide covering a sand castle.
I assume all the cookies in the easy places are gone and if I really want to find something, I must wander into the mist.
There are things in science that constantly irritate me and don't seem to bother other people. An example is that force is one over radius squared and so the force is infinite as it approaches zero and is thus discontinuous as a function. In some cases energy is not actually real like when velocity alone is considered energy and the energy only exists by the difference between the observer and the object.
Recently I was doing the same experiments that revealed the nature of the thermal electric effect ( which they thought of as the "thermo magnetic effect" ). In my own style it seemed reasonable to step outside the box as Hofstadter was fond of saying. While testing some odd combinations there was a combination that produced something on the order of 9 milli-volts per degree change centigrade. I had been studying thermocouples and this was 1000 times what I had measured for various other metals. It has some interesting consequences. To be certain this is odd and I will have to do the experiments again, but however this happened it was not a measuring error. When I have time I will look into it further.
While studying Maxwell's equations it always reminds me of Maxwell's demon and there is a strange effect on the macro scale that makes me wonder. Obviously I can't sort fast and cold molecules and thus have an unlimited energy source, but there are weather satellites that monitor temperature about the world and I can say that some point A and some point B have a relative energy and isolate them. This is a thought experiment and I am not suggesting some alternative energy device, but in some ways it acts like his demon. Since there are thermal detectors in orbit and I can measure the temperature everywhere, it is theoretically possible to bottle A and combine it with B on some scale. Just an odd thought and I don't know what it means or even how to apply it.
I have also been considering what it means to be able to produce my own electronics with a 3D printer exponentially and in general the global profit from electronics is about a trillion dollars per year. Many things are made from glass. Silicon is a very common material in the universe and it stands to reason that it would be the material that gives the greatest advantage in terms of tools. It would seem to me that there are many beneficial things yet to discover in the universe and it is a lack of imagination that keeps them hidden.
Molecular assembly
The University of Illinois recently published a report of their molecular 3D printer, but it looks more like an automated lab than a real molecular machine. There are other projects for wet works and those seem more feasible.
I was asked recently if I was kidding about a self-replicating 3D printer and I am not. It isn't an easy engineering feat, but all the engineering and testing are complete. The surprising thing is that one of the most common materials should be the most useful in this respect. Silicon Dioxide or sand is ubiquitous here and on other masses. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral on earth. There are manufacturers that produce piezoelectric elements and they can be arranged to be motors, linear actuators ( 1 Angstrom precision ) , linear drive, sensors ( nano scale ), voltage generators and silicon is the material used to produce semiconductor chips. Some recent research has shown that wafer quality silicon can be produced through simple methods and it is possible to print with silicon dioxide and doped silicon. In addition a piezoelectric milling apparatus can mill almost any material, including itself. By creating a modular system with standard parts they can be used in 3D or in devices as structure, power generation , motion, or control. Presently the density of fabrication of the control chip ( my work ) would be at 1 billion gates per cubic centimeter with a 10 micron spacing. It is scalable to perhaps 1000 times smaller ( per dimension = 10 nanometers ) with the same techniques and would have a gate density of 1 billion*billion gates per cubic centimeter. It is impossible to fabricate such a thing in real time without parallel process. Because the structure is 3D and has spacing within the structure, it is less subject to thermal constraints and can be run at higher voltages as well as higher clocks.
The entire machine can be fabricated from silicon dioxide with trace materials and metal. Strangely, I found a patent from 1975 that was for the fabrication of glass helium balloons and it does make sense in an odd way, and it makes me think of 99 floating glass luft balloons, that have chip on glass integrated circuits and energy generation from piezoelectric compression.
Another interesting thing which occurred to me is that a quartz piezoelectric system composed only of metallized sand could lift 70 ton blocks to whatever height one required. It could have been done any time in history as it doesn't require sophisticated machines to produce, and based on my calculations, could lift a 70 ton block and place it on a pyramid in as little as a second. Since the Pyramid at Giza has about 2.3 million blocks, (2,300,000)/(60*60*24*30)=0.88, and thus it could have been constructed or could now be constructed with a "single" piezo 3D system in about a month, without any workers at all. Now if the ancients were so smart, they all would have had their own ( pyramid and 3d system ) and would never have been conquered. I would probably be blogging in hieroglyphs too.
The advance of technology is relentless and I discover new things every day that can be applied. More recently I have been studying magnetic reconnection , and there may be something interesting to come of that if I am right about how it can be applied.
If you wish to see the progress of fabrication, there will be updates on the web site as time permits.
It is my opinion that no electronic system will truly be free of spyware unless it is fabricated by an individual with access to the silicon in the same way that free software allows access to programs.
FSF is interested in having a free processor design, and I support that, but a design for a 3D printer would have specialized structure to deal with 4 space. I have designed numerous CPUs and it isn't a great trick ( if you have the skills ), and it can even be done with FPGAs.
Piezo Cavitation Exploration
During the process of investigating the properties of crystals that have a piezoelectric effect there are many new insights into applications.
My organization is developing a self-replicating 3D printer and it has been a long search for the right combination of materials and properties that would allow a device to be scalable, use naturally occurring materials, good precision, collect power and flexibility to manipulate all other matter. This is similar to a teleport in some fashion. The ability to identify a gene sequence and insert it into a cell at some point remotely by manufacturing the sequence would result in that organism existing somewhere at the end of a communication channel. It has the property that the original is still viable so it is less a teleport as a remote duplicator. It has long been my opinion that space and harsh environment should be explored in this manner as it is cost effective.
All the research is done and there are techniques that can be combined to produce the circuitry, the actuators and motors, and structure that is precise to a ten thousandth of an inch. The technology to do so is being demonstrated on the web site. As a person who ( worked in (1) the design and operation of semiconductor wafer equipment (2) the fabrication of ICs (3) the software for the systems (4) the design of complete PC systems (5) process control for major manufacturers , and (6) designed CPUs from individual gates. ) it certainly is a complicated science.
I have developed several devices that serve as control systems. One uses a type of FET and another is a liquid semi-conductor. The device that produces integrated circuits can be operated at home by an individual. It would initially be a little pricy and would compare with high end 3D printers. The concept of personally produced ICs is not something that would be the research goal of a "for profit" enterprise and the concept of a self-replicating 3D printer has no profit incentive. The experiments and results as well as the techniques will be up on the web site as soon as time permits in the research. I have access to atomic and electron microscopes , high vacuum and other equipment so this research isn't done with a compass and straight edge, but the final product system is well with in the realm of the individual.
My primary interest in 3D extends to the application and I have constructed numerous associated technologies that allow the integration of 3D-SR into a real world interface called
Σ ƒ(mein,werk)t Δt
This is an interface to 3D printers that allows the construction of new 3D printers as well as anything that can be produced by the printers in a consolidated remote-multi-user environment. It would be the equivalent of a real world MMORPG. The design is flexible enough to be run as a system for an asteroid, harsh environment space or planets.
It is raw material limited as well as limited by the ability to collect usable energy to drive the operations.
The topic of the post is something that I have been researching for some time and that is piezoelectric crystals. They have been employed and known since the dawn of man and are the subject of some fringe science and that isn't my interest as an experimentalist.
The experiments with cavitation are very interesting and I would suggest that others try it. My current experiment involves using a balanced piezoelectric crystal system that can create a higher level of cavitation to see what temperature limits are possible at the point of collapse. The technique is similar to a pumped laser. I use a piezo crystal in a mechanical framework ( struck by a hammer ) like a stacked piezo element in an igniter to drive the matched voltage with a high rise time and limited current to another element which cavitates fluids and then I measure the point temperature of collapse.
The modulus force of materials can produce astounding effects. Anyone can see its effect in "ice jacking" everywhere. A metal rod with a 100 mm diameter can produce 350 tons of force. The most interesting thing about piezo is the fact that it deforms with great force in response to voltage as well as allows static deformation with voltage to a nanometer scale. It is equivalent to leverage and though the force is great, the energy is small. If it is a calorie per gram degree c, that is 4 joules and though the force is great, there is very little energy involved and (out energy) is < ( in energy ), of course. It is the leverage that makes it useful.
Triple time

The beast rose
A river of red inside

But through affine space

Orthogonal to reality
I am somewhat wary based on the previous try, but I have another, better, solution to trisecting an angle. There is no active search on my part, but it just popped into my head.
From Wikipedia:
The problem as stated is generally impossible to solve, as shown by Pierre Wantzel (1837). Wantzel's proof relies on ideas from the field of Galois theory—in particular, trisection of an angle corresponds to the solution of a certain cubic equation, which is not possible using the given tools.
The Greeks had a real problem with many things, including related rates as well as infinities, and the sqrt 2. I promised an explanation of the irrational nature of sqrt 2, so here it is first. No matter how you choose a number to define distance units, even if it is the Planck scale, when you travel orthogonal to that in 1 unit then rotate that vector it is between units and is thus imaginary by the common math. It would imply that the very definition of the number system is incomplete. I suppose that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedekind_cut is intended to patch one hole, but many others exist.
So, back to trisecting an angle with nothing more than a compass. The Zeno's paradoxes demonstrate the misunderstanding of related rates. An angle drawn by any means, if it be consistent would require a specific time to complete an arc, exactly as a clock and by dividing the time you have the exact relationship to the curved space.

From nature's course
It seemed a good month to review the history of science from Babylon to Lie algebra and quantum critical effects. Several things became obvious and they explain the funny way that math is taught and understood. One is the fact that common mathematics is not closed and that sqrt(2) √ 2 tells a story of dimensions in a very simple way.
I would conjecture that -1 is the first imaginary number and that like sqrt(2) √ 2, a box cannot be hidden inside a line.
My site will have some results that come from these facts as they are applied in the real world. I will also explain what an irrational number really is ( or here ) and how it can be used to solve some interesting real world problems.
Affine geometry is interesting as well as the hyperbolic and projection spaces. The methods of the early geometers is well worth knowing. Quaternions and such are a way of dealing with a broken logic pipe that has been duct taped to a lazy circle.

I make mistakes all the time and I am sure it due to quantum uncertainty :)
The trisection of an angle is one of those mistakes and what makes it more embarrassing is this Mohr–Mascheroni theorem. There are ways to trisect angles ( outside the compass and rule) and I have now created a couple myself and there are others like the origami solution. It is interesting for its associated ideas. The basic concept of with a straight edge and compass seems to have been constructed as one of those tricks that my older brothers and sisters played on me when I was young. They would bring these concepts home from college and use me and my little sister as guinea pigs to see how we responded to intractable and infinite recursion problems. So I am quite at home with failure and it does teach you that some things just don't resolve and you need to find an exit strategy. I am not sure that I would ever have played the game if I knew it had to be done with an infinitely long straight edge as I only have a few left in the house that aren't all marked up and dirty.
Invasion of the Trisector - Astral Intelligence (AI)
Recently I have been studying Lie algebra and group theory. I revisited the possible straight edge and compass solution to the ancient problem of trisecting an angle in light of what I learned.
Possible Trisecting solution on this blog
As a result I realized that I had made a mistake in the characterization of this method as being a solution, when it is a near approximation. So I was wrong and this is why:
I thought of a method which perfectly divides the chord, but does not divide the arc exactly, of course. I say of course now, but that is the way with learning new things, they seem so obvious once they are understood and are unknown before that.
It seems that it ever so slightly "might" be possible to trisect the angle , but it would also imply a solution to another problem in higher order equations and wouldn't be a quick "cool" solution so it gets put on the back burner until some new associated information comes along.
ADDED:
I can't help but think about things and though it is not a mathematical trisection such that it is "perfect", I do not see that it could ever be "perfect" with a pen or pencil and straight edge. It is possible to get the actual third within +- the distance of a line width with the defined tools and how can it be any better than that. It is a real world problem and not a matter of the cos(theta). So it becomes a pedantic objection when a mechanical procedure of limited duration does produce the result within the limits of measurement. I have been working with my atomic force microscope and considered using this technique with the probe and my 3D positioning mechanism and it would still not be exact as it would be +- .1 Angstrom. It would seem that trisection with a compass and straight edge is an obscure mathematical oddity that has long since become pointless or obsolete in the face of quantum mechanics.
It does however make me wonder about a root method for high powers that was bouncing around my head and if it comes to something I will post the results here.
.....
Also I spent some more time with thirds and it can be done at least 3 ways, but one isn't a mathematical solution, just physical, like Archimedes' principal.

Galois and group theory at UNSW Wildberger
These showed up last year and I hadn't watched them yet, but UNSW has some great teachers that are informative and entertaining. That is in Australia. There are more that deal with more complex aspects, but this seems to be a good introduction "if" you have already completed and understood linear algebra. Strang at MIT is not as entertaining and sometimes labors points, but knows his stuff. Reminds me of Leonhard Euler in appearance.
It is interesting and has a beauty in it that I suppose arises from symmetry and transform such that it might be the intellectual equivalent of music.
(Very interesting stuff)
MORE and MORE:
So I was thinking about this and based on the theory from Euler and others, it is intuitive that this is so. I don't want to be a Galois , but this is how I think. It was said that he just leaped and it was hard to follow and I can't tell you literally why this is so, it just seemed it would be so based on how I perceived this to work. People who know what this is will know that it has everything to do with the internet and much more.
The proof is too long to fit in the margin (chuckle). :)

The eyes of nature and mind of man
It is said in the novel Molly Bawn, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would say that beauty is in the mind of the observer. It is odd that sparrows never have occasion to court a lizard or hawk. I only say this because there is something in plain sight that cannot be seen and it would be the answer that many people seek and it follows like a puppy from the means that drive creation.
The mind is the tool we use to extract reason from what we observe and some will only see what they are shown and others see what must be. It is a riddle and the fact that it is an answer would never be known except that it be in their eye already.

The Roman legacy
I have been following the progress of bitcoin and it is an interesting idea to mint your own currency from information, but I believe there is another more sensible way to deal with the issue of trade without a middle man to control the exchange. Gold and jewels have been used because they are rare and identifiable.
The idea of coin as power may not originate with the Roman empire, but they seem to have popularized it.
I suppose that a person could say that 10 barrels of oil equals one donkey, but that seems a bit cumbersome, "Sir, do you have change for a donkey, I prefer to get it in squirrels, if you have some."
There is one and only thing in the universe that cannot be created or destroyed and that is matter / energy.
I am -very- certain that I can take the principles that I have tested and create a cheap standardized device that will collect potential energy in one form and convert it to electrical potential energy efficiently ,as well as store it safely in a small volume by inexpensive and stable means.
It would seem to me that if I had a certain number of electrons at potential V, that this would be a very useful and granular currency that would be untraceable. As an engineer I have heard that joke about "fat electrons" clogging up the wires, but I know they are so similar they could be cousins!
Energy from the sun is free in space and the production by the sun is about 108 greater than what influences the exposed surface of the Earth.
A simple solar converter can be printed cheaply with a 3D printer. It can then produce a source of potential energy that is stable for 100's of years as well as the device having an MTBF of 100's of years. If this is currency, then it makes far more sense than a piece of paper or some other construct that is only as good as the word or power of those who fabricate it. It is a currency that does not wear out, doesn't need to be printed, is anonymous, and the most useful thing in the universe -energy- , by definition, it is the source of all good bits.
It was not possible until recently to cheaply fabricate a converter , nor was the concept recognized. It is now possible to make a 3D printer that prints itself completely and fabricates useful devices like this. I have designed robots for pick and place and wafer fabrication as well as many process applications and I am certain that this is a viable process. It should be immediately obvious that no company for profit is going to try and sell a 3D printer that can print itself. It is also so that once people understand how the energy conversion device is fabricated, that it cannot be controlled or forced into artificial scarcity to make profit.
It follows then that its implementation and adoption should follow the template of open source software. The information will be shared and expanded so that all people can innovate, share energy to create their ideas, and eventually to manufacture food and cellular medical replacements for aging organisms, so minds that have spent a lifetime understanding and expanding knowledge are not allocated to chaos.
The mitochondria as power house of the cell functions as a very good battery, but it isn't very convenient to barter in ATP or amino acids. It has been shown that food substances can be created in greater quantity, if fixed nitrogen and carbon dioxide are available. It is an energy conversion process that is farming.
A bank would be a place where energy is stored. Obviously energy is a defining component for human survival, whether to cool when it is hot, warm when it is cold, provide travel from place to place, pump water, operate devices, power electronics, robots, and to power the production of new usable constructs.
It would be nice if others participated to make it happen more quickly, but whether alone or with assistance, it will be done, because it makes and powers itself and as such it is very much like a crop of corn that can seed its next generation and feed its farmer in perpetuity so long as the sun shines.
I am sure that I have not seen every advantageous nuance that could be applied to this and it is difficult to focus on manufacturing and creativity at the same time, as the mental state is very different.
ADDED:
It occurred to me that if people could generate and store energy where they live and there is a wired electrical grid for distribution of power, that if power became decentralized, then that grid could be an energy internet that allowed a person to buy food, a service, or materials for energy delivered through that network.
Amazon is already working toward a decentralized local product network IIRC, and this would be a model for the delivery of product. There are new technologies which -might- allow a material net.
MORE:
It seems that a "powernet" could be established in a cost effective manner, even if there were no efficient solar converter, by using the Sadoway battery from MIT research. It would allow people to store energy at any time that electric was off peak and use it during peak demand to lower the cost of electrical delivery even without any major technological changes. The storage cell would pay for itself in reduced electrical energy cost.
AND MORE:
This will probably be my last blog post as we will have a web site for the development of the project and it is not intended to make money but to facilitate the adoption of the technology. It is possible that it can be applied as a storage battery that converts gasoline directly to electricity with a very high efficiency and low pollution, though the operational weight as well as the design is the issue and that is to be determined. It could serve as an easy transform from fossil fuel as it would allow an electric car to fill up with gas and create energy from that or be recharged with electrical potential, either way. It solves range issues as well as the need for immediate adoption of electrical filling stations and total power available.
The kickstarter is in process and if it is approved I will put a link here, otherwise I will link to the site that will provide the detailed physics and chemistry of the project as well as help in implementing the energy solution. If people want to continue paying for electricity and accepting the consequence of its sloppy generation, that is their business. It is a monumental task to consider the creation of billions of units for free energy that can be stored for later use.
It requires a technology like a self replicating 3D printer that can produce the device and thus use the power of exponential growth to achieve a result in a reasonable time frame. 232 is 4.294967296 x 109, and so t is not as important as E and M.

Ants Pythons OpenGL simulator
By changing the eye color blue, adding circle polygon and displaying OBJ as lines in white over polygons in red modified in the .mtl file Kd. It is actually very fast and latency is imperceptible, even with an older graphics card.
I searched an apparently this isn't a new idea. It is a weird world and here we are, only half way to infinity always.
A quote from somewhere.
By connecting electrodes and radio antennas to the nervous systems of beetles,
the researchers were able to make them take off, dive and turn on command.
The cyborg insects were created at the University of California, Berkeley,
by engineers led by Hirotaka Sato and Michel Maharbiz
as part of a program funded by
the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The project's goal is to create fully remote-controlled insects
able to perform tasks such as looking for survivors after a disaster,
or acting as the ultimate spy.
Whats stopping the same assholes from connecting radio antennas
(rfid chips) into human nervous system to be controlled.
in fact thats exactly what will happen.
A patient undergoing GVS noted:
I felt a mysterious, irresistible urge to start walking to the right whenever the researcher turned the switch to the right. I was convinced — mistakenly — that this was the only way to maintain my balance. The phenomenon is painless but dramatic. Your feet start to move before you know it. I could even remote-control myself by taking the switch into my own hands.
Power and deception
I do not know personally about the current state of affairs as it relates to Syria, but I find it very unusual that a person who was trained as a doctor and ophthalmologist, would be an absolute idiot and when he had a massive regular military at his disposal, would use a method that would inspire others to act in concert against him. I would believe this as much as a presidential candidate deciding to take a walk about in his birthday suit the week before the election. Unless they were mentally deranged, neither of these things would happen.
It follows in a rather Hidden Markov Model like process that something stinks.The has been a long history of public deception to further intent of the monarchy or oligarchies. I can recall many that were not revealed until decades had passed. It is a political tool to fabricate an incident to increase the power of states. I do believe that Churchill allowed children to be killed to raise support for action against Germany, Hitler used the murder of a German statesman by a Polish Jew in Paris to inspire "Kristallnacht" and this type of mob control technique is well known to anyone who studies political science and propaganda.
If the US government played any role in the use or allowed the use of nerve gas to murder children, to further its interests, I could only say that this is monstrous and the consequences will be very bad, whether it continues or is stopped.
Something smells and given the amount of information that is being collected world wide, I am guessing that -somebody- knows and if they are a party to it, they have earned the official "Adolf Hitler, I was only following orders" trip to Nuremberg. One would hope that this type of thing would never be seen again, but alas it reappears like clockwork , over and over again.
The virtual body of ants
The nature of an ant colony is much like a complete organism and as with the body, chemotaxis leads the cells to their assigned seats in the body. In the case of ants, each ant serves as a cell and the body of the ANT can be in, merged or around another body ANT . It is an unusual situation where the organism, which is ANT proper, can occupy the space of another organism. The image is a snap shot of further development to show food trails and the scope of colonies. The python module for GraphWin seems sufficient to do what WxPython implements, with a bit more control of the product.
Strange things are possible in infinity. While considering this, an idea came out of the blue sky that there is a kind of light that I will call K-red which allows perfect vision at night in extreme detail using no special technology at all. It could have been discovered and employed at any time in history as it does not require any other technology. I must assume that nature has some how employed this knowledge in -some- creature and I can see that it is very possible that it is another insect sense that exists that has never been documented or understood. Bizarre, what exists in the infinite unknown. It is the Twilight Zone and it has no bounds, and each time I discover something like this it is a shock, because there is no way that it follows from science as it is defined. There are rules and it is obvious it is an incomplete set as these things are easily discovered, but not by following scientific discovery as it exists. Sometimes it seems that common science exists as -deterrent- to discovery. K-red reminds me of the "Fremen" from "Dune" for some reason. Ah, the Bene Gesserit Warlock and Muad'Dib.
The Great Revolt -- two generations of chaos. The god of machine-logic was overthrown among the masses and a new concept was raised:
"Man may not be replaced."
Or perhaps the robots warriors and slaves that support the super-rich will be re-purposed peacefully to be owned by all... Fat chance, might as well look to Black Mesa for help.
There is no cake.
The future is always new
I learned an interesting thing about insects while doing this, that beyond chemical and visual and contact communication, there is also sounds that can only be recognized in context of that space. We are so large in comparison, that the scope of these audible signals is lost in the scale. Yet, at the scale of an insect a millimeter long, the sound and vibration environment would be very different. The idea that ants also produce signals like grasshoppers and crickets was unknown to me until now. I would assume that spiders can sense these sounds as well and perhaps over great distances. If one has a tuned circuit like a radio signal, it can be detected in what seems to be simple chaotic noise.
The next step is a method to set the visible information like food trails, sound scopes, temperature,light source and polarization, conflict resolution, and behavior control.
Maxis (IIRC) made an ant game that was pretty simplistic, but interesting at the time because it covered -some- aspects of ant systems and modeled it, though somewhat crudely with low res graphics. The existence of neural nets allows a better model of the ant which can give some reasonable approximation of real behavior and how that could change with a changing neural structure.
The blue dot is a simulated spider hunting and I haven't changed the graphic yet, to something more realistic with legs. I also need to orient models to direction of travel and incorporate trail sensing and nest scents, which I would assume is just the smell they all produce, which would permeate the ant hill and its substructure. I knew that ants could sense and respond to ground vibrations which implied an ant stuck in a cave-in, but never realized they might "talk" to each other with scraping sounds as well as antenna tapping. It seems obvious then that the frequency would indicate the size of the ant and would act in the same way as mammals that show their dominance through calls.
The logic seems inescapable, that this type of action is not just some method for nobles to be granted rights to property by the king so that both may profit by milking the serfs blood. It is a perpetuation of paradox which must create great distress among thinking people, because it is an arbitrary abuse of individuals and as such is similar to an outlaw gang terrorizing people simple because they can. It would seem that no matter how it is considered, it must be so that a nation involved in the random abuse and ransom of individuals without clear moral basis is no law at all. It becomes the principle "might is right". In that framework it becomes a challenge where they are aware they are doing something criminal for their sole benefit but will not stop without a force greater than they can muster against the individual.
It is paradoxical in so many ways. I can go take a picture of a flower, the satellites and Google street view take the same image and any number of passersby can take a picture of the flower and then copyright that image or moving image or constructed model, resulting in paradox of "ownership". The "property" can be exactly the same and ownership can be obtained by simple declaration. That is absurd. I can see how people might want to perform work and be compensated for actions, but can I build a sand castle and then declare that I can receive labor compensation for all of eternity? Though physical patent is less arbitrary, it still contains the same logical flaws. It assumes that a product is so difficult to construct and imagine that only one person could devise the product according to one method and this is not the case. I can arrive at a useful construct in an infinite number of ways.
Some say it is broken and so we need to fix it, but there is no fix, you cannot claim chaos to be ordered action. It is a lie. It seems that it is a situation where something that is too complex to be copied without skill, it can be considered scarce, but that which is simple to reproduce is worth little. The system then is consistent with reality and much like crafts work, the product is limited, but if it is a bacteria, it builds itself and most copies are the same.
Information which can be compacted to binary bits describing the physical universe or relationships can be collected or fabricated in many ways and to say that 0100011000 or any length sequence is owned and owed compensation seems an unending source of wealth. If somebody could define a system that was not paradoxical, I would like to see it. It seems it becomes an arbitrary tool, a scam, a pyramid scheme, a fraud.
The cake is a lie.
