Cars have evolved to go faster – but humans haven't - opinion - 11 October 2011

"Unfortunately our reaction times are not any faster, nor are our bodies any better at withstanding the forces involved in a crash."

reaction times .. what you train them to be .. what you put your mind .. to surpass ..

"Survivability refers to the body's capacity to tolerate the energy transfer in accidents. Evidence shows that on access roads, where crashes involving pedestrians are likely, a 20mph (30kph) limit is appropriate. On distribution roads, where side impacts are likely – when a car might ram into the side of another that is pulling out of a side road, for instance – the limit should be 30mph (50kph). In situations without pedestrians and where side impacts and head-on collisions are improbable – motorways and freeways – the limit should be 60 to 70mph (100 to 110kph)."

they are (plowing).. on vague ground .. evidence? .. what kind of evidence .. they are refering to ..

.. can not help .. but bring into my mind .. the thoughts nurtured in societies ..nowadays ..that the human individual .. is an ignorant ..git ..

.. and thoroughly deserves .. to be treated as such .. and even worse ..

.. that needs a nanny .. to keep self ..on the straight and narrow .. otherwise .. god knows .. what mess will get one's own self and others into ..

"Unfortunately our reaction times are not any faster, nor are our bodies any better at withstanding the forces involved in a crash."

11 October 2011 Cars have evolved to go faster – but humans haven't New Scientist

based upon what .. catch the ruler tests.. on how fast our limbs are .. or how fast our brains work ..

dratted human evolution ..did not catch up .. is not on a par .. with the car speeds evolution ..

it is not a matter ..of reaction times .. but a matter of .. what should I do .. in every little incident .. thrown at

a matter of experience .. amassed .. to deal with everything .. as much as possible .. the real testing of human abilities ..

and even if .. the limbs get rusty .. the older you get .. the brain does not get old .. does not stop learning

certainly ..we go about .. on an automatic pilot .. mode .. whatever reactions are required from one .. are set .. even since one gets a driving license ..

the self .. has the ability to change them .. never ceases .. to create for self and for others .. new ways to deal with stuff ..

.. leave people room .. let them be responsible for selves ..and they do care for others .. they learn to amend on their mistakes

instead of .. putting barriers .. safety comfort zones .. herding .. based upon whatever averages .. short-sighted research projects .. have directed .. before even the results are gleaned .. to data that suits their thinking.. 

deny self .. rob self .. the ability to think .. fend for self .. to continually evolve

it is ludicrous .. short-sighted .. and downright demeaning .. to promote processes .. that demand the death of your brain ..

to rely upon .. the same old recipe .. that has given so little .. with an origin as dubious as the results produced ..

Stupidity: What makes people do dumb things


the human brain has to be challenged ..to evolve .. intelligence ..does no come cheap .. and the cheap does not refer to money .. money is what cheapens the brain .. its chances to evolve ..

.. they own you.. netted a tenner.. what the fuck is that.. medieval .. feudal attitudes

slavery rules still in power.. the foundations of society

a vestige.. if only ..

.. an employer ..merely a modern day slave owner.. workers possessions ..possessions..

employers possess anything workers produce ..their physical and mental fruits of their labour ..

under their total and undisputed discretion ..robbing people from their most valued outputs out of their agency .. robbed ..outright and remorselessly .. societies build upon such premise .. fucking hell..

deprived of its agency ..  .. societies' pathetic attribute .. long forgotten .. buried deep .. no excuse

to a state of ownership.. despicable .. equally for those who own and those who are owned

assets ..unashamedly claimed.. the meaning of words distorted though carry within ..it is impossible to renege .. the very properties that are so humiliating for the human entity

outright physical slavery still exists in some parts of the world .. wonder why still survives when its very essence it is unashamedly ..abjectly promoted by the so called advanced segments of humanity  .. that of western societies ..

the absurdity inherent so aptly portrayed in the recent case of a man..

 curse you all.. for you.. that take unlawful inhumane advantage of these horrible vestiges of yesteryears

and for you that the only thing ..the extent of your thoughts is the kind of bondage to choose

never touch ..never go far enough.. to eradicate.. that scourge .. what should have been dealt with eons ago .. when the struggle against slavery was at its  peak

whereas what generates such predicament is totally overlooked

a novel approach .. I just fathomed the depth .. of this, John Holland's assertion .. we are not the masters of our fate .. as we are led to believe .. how foolish .. and that comes hot in the foot .. of what is mentioned .. claimed in that recent publication .. the unconscious in the driving seat .. my own words .. my interpretation .. despite similar in line .. with what the authors presented .. surmised out of the title of the paper

however .. it is better to follow John Holland's thought .. as he mentions further down .. designing a cgp to handle agents according to specifications given at the outset .. is not the same thing .. as designing cgp to accommodate mobile objects .. I hope so .. as agents despite being mobile objects .. but they are not .. only

a traveling house .. of the future .. in the near future..


an attempt to develop the concept ..

should begin with a deeper understanding of gravity..

Einstein's general relativity.. warping space .. rolling ..as the earth, moon, and other planetary objects ..roll

..therefore traveling house should be spherical.. to ..assist in the ..rolling ..function ..

.. capable of rolling but the habitable portions of the traveling house should be stable ..

.. the outer shell should be able to roll while the inside shell should keep its orientation and position at all times despite what the exterior shell does..

.. such an approach demands a change in concepts contained in the Newtonian vocabulary and the meanings they carry should be shed away..

concepts like .. floating .. friction should be reassessed if not replaced..

warping space  .. making grooves along which the traveling house will roll

warp space ..bend space to provide the path .. a corridor .. mini planets .. the traveling houses ..

.. a leap in conception is required ..

height .. uphill should be reconsidered.. space.. dimensions should be reevaluated .. what they currently  represent is a drawback that is imperative to overcome..

.. the grooves upon which the traveling houses will roll defy current notions  of space ..

thoughts of moving ..rolling ..upwards do not stand well in the minds of earthbound humans.. it is beyond our commonsense ..

..yet the descriptions based on general relativity .. without nowadays being able to support such a thesis.. but putting in mind how the moon revolves around earth solely on the grounds of its mass .. it provides clues that such a thing can be possible ..

..it may require a critical mass to make such a feat possible or may not.. understanding of gravity at smaller scales.. might be required.. or the contribution of space itself ..and mass might be the key...

..a deeper understanding of quantum gravity might help .. the  theorized graviton  might be implicated in the creation of bending space forming the grooves along which earth travels around the sun and the moon around earth ..


a method, a thinking way ..to ..persuade space to renege its secrets  would push forward such ..extraordinary ideas from the ..vagueness currently ..enveloped to ..clarity that would make possible such a feat ..

.. a change in the way is conceived ..the earth-bounded-ness quality.. of the objects upon earth ..not merely the pull of the earth's mass but the pressure yielded by the atmosphere itself .. like the pressure the oceans yield to its inhabitants ..

namely ..the atmosphere as what keeps us earthbound..and ..may be the idea of pull should be abandoned completely .. a Newtonian relic ..its effect should be considered and overcome..

..the ..rolling approach .. would require to ..effect.. upon the traveling house surrounding space .. and not upon the object itself .. propulsion ..the ..release out of earth's pull ..is not required

Our Invisible Bodies by Jay Alfred oib.pdf (application/pdf Object)

"Despite better and better measurements, the results from various sources just kept showing that the observed density of matter and energy in the visible universe was simply too low. Only 1% of the predicted mass could be seen or measured! All this evidence made many scientists sit up and conclude, much to their disbelief, that 99% of the matter and energy in the universe was invisible! Equally ironic is that although this fact was known to scientists for some decades, 99% of human beings on this planet currently are unaware of this historical monumental finding and have not reflected on the implications!"

(fulfilling .. fulfilment sought)
A guiding principle embedded in systems. System as representing the whole, and the whole satisfying the requirements of every part that is made out of. Fulfilment achieved, is sought after. Striving to achieve, the tendency within a system by seeking the state of being wholesome.

Fulfilment out of the contribution of all parts, gradually by more and more parts, out of subsystems, the subsystems the parts that comprise the whole. Parts that are represented as nodes, referred by the connectionist model. Nodes and networking contributing to a whole, a whole out of the nodes participating. The nodes, the functioning parts. Node the functioning equivalent of the part, the subsystem itself.

Node (in function), the nodes interconnected at a given time, what gives the pattern, as being dynamic, the states instantiated snapshots if the time dimension is regarded as external. Snapshot states, time dimension included, frozen incorporated spacetime, talking about spacetime windows out of space and time.

(out of the nodes already existing)
What is mentioned in Smith, R. D. (1998) 'Social Structures and Chaos Theory'

"5.10
Using a connectionist model of a process (eg. Eiser, 1993) requires that we treat the phase- state as the current network location of the influence under study. The propagation pathway is not infinite but confined to orbits which follow the pre-existing pathways between various elements.[14]"

.. thoughts out of that exposition brought forth, the pattern out of the orbits, the node interconnections propagate within the confines of the nodes already participating in the flow. Pre-existing pathways between pre-existing nodes. Patterns out of the flux, the network out of nodes prevailing. Their existence determine the pattern already existing, pre-existing. What ever lies out of that network made out of these nodes, is not taking into consideration for the instantiation of the pattern. It is irrelevant, non-participant even to the point of non-existing.

Attributing irreversibility.

Societies themselves prove such a point. The point of non-existence. It is hard to come to terms with it. Its virtuality of non-existence, its virtual non-existence. The new generation born within the frame of the current status and states the societies are, made out of the patterns prevailing, are impossible to unable to think past societies. Past patterns followed and adhered to, virtually non-existent, carried only in the memories of adults who even them suffer the same symptoms. It is hard even for them to come to terms with the way societies were in the past. If it wasn't for knowledge kept, in the minds of people, in books, in customs in culture, it would have been written out of existence completely. Old realms are hardly visited or forgotten, irreversibility at bay.

(new nodes .. new functioning)
Function, the succession of sequestered states in time and space each distinct from another up to a point. Point-mutations even for a point. The point, the node? It must be. John Holland's emergence, the mathematics included? Taking to the extent a bifurcation should be thought as taking place to a single point of a massively complex structure, the state it represents and that single point as by drawing annealing trajectories becomes a node, is incorporated into the flux, the flow and out of the flow the pattern. The pattern that the system exhibits, emerges.

Bifurcation equates with, learning. Enables opening new inroads for knowledge to trod, new phase space. Diverging out of the already existing nodes, the orbits that keep the flux dynamic into new realms, new phase space.

Already existing nodes, giving out the patterns prevailing and nodes which have been superseded, (not used), are fallen into disuse. Relevant phase space abandoned, no longer used.

(increasing its phase space)
Phase space as yet untrodden, incisive. Incisions further deeper into the microscales. Chaos its fractional nature, creates fractals explore fractional dimensions (deepening) (opening up the realm further) ..

Systems down to their barebones. Reducing complexity down.

World, societies of human individuals, brain and mind, emotions feelings personality, nature itself all systems on their own behalf, down to the bare-bones, what remains when all that complexity bestowed upon systems, is removed.

New ideas are entering my mind all woven around the conceptualisations of structure, network, connectedness, abstractions and the glue that brings them all together, hotfooting out of the findings of chaos theory, chaos itself. Triggered as I read R.D. Smith's 'Social Structures and Chaos Theory', article in Sociological Research Online.

The use of chaos theory not from the predicting and controlling aspects but as the fundamental, the pillars upon which all emerged, self-organised systems are derived upon. A universality that pervades the realm we call reality and beyond, for any god existing it would have to rely upon chaos to create what has been created.

It therefore surpasses the limits its naming, chaos theory, impose upon it as it is no longer a theory, a tool to be used solely as an instrument of prediction and control, but a powerful way in the 'hands' of the individual to explain the structures created.

Acquiring a force all to its own, a force to be reckoned with, though not a force by itself but that which enables and empowers. Empowered with a force to shake worlds.

"A connectionist model allows two kinds of pattern to be studied. The first is the pattern of the signals, communications or other influences which flow through the lattice. This shall be referred to as the flux pattern."

"The second kind of pattern which can be defined by the architecture of the lattice itself: the pattern of connections among the various elements of the lattice and through which the signals propagate. This is known as the architecture, the matrix, or the lattice. The lattice places, for practical purposes, limits on what flux patterns are possible. The architecture allows us to differentiate plausible futures from implausible futures and, perhaps, from impossible futures."

.. places limits on what patterns are possible ..

Powerful abstractions, revealing the barebones of a system and in my mind, now overwhelmed by the notion that any system whatsoever exists, in our minds or outside our minds, follows suit such type of organisation, upon which the evolution of a system builds upon.

Pre-existing ideas. Pre-existing nodes, in the lattice, the architecture and within that frame of pre-existing ideas, there is still room for more new ideas to emerge. Despite drawing boundaries to already existing ideas, ideas never cease to be created.

Pre-existing notion followed suit by the idea of post-existing necessary to determine the future worlds, the plausible future, the implausible future and what we would never have to be, the impossible futures.

In the same sense, what is, also excluded are past-existing nodes, a return to past worlds, only possible if, by erasing memories, all history, from people's minds something impossible, therefore a return to the past, in the future near or utterly implausible. An impossibility.

The contribution of chaos revealed by bifurcations, bifurcations that lead to new newly-created nodes, to the creation of new nodes, the seed-spawning of new ideas.

Evolution never stops, it is the time-scales that differ, time-scales that can be beyond the lifespans of human individuals and time-scales that can be tiny fractions of such lifespans. The human individual lifespans, somewhere in between.

The paradigm of chaos, and chaos is relentless in its path, sacrilegious, destroying, mind-numbing everything that is built on shaky foundations, annihilating beliefs, lessening their burdens upon minds, leaves people astray and confused but once its passage gone in the meantime exhilarating, absolving as the foundations it lays in its wake are heart-uplifting, solid, strong, a firm grasp on the ground heads in sky, in heavens.

Humanity in a transitional period, civilizations past and gone, failed experiments.

All these ideas triggered by that paper, is that something new? At my very own level? For me? I have to ponder on this and use the outcome to further elaborate what actually is, this I am contemplating about.

And what is this? Of fundamental proportions .. What? Paradigm? a way of thinking about this. What is this? It is comprised of nodes. It is permeated by connectedness. It reveals patterns. It is made out of patterns. Patterns are created on this. Phases.

.. the paradigm of chaos introduced by chaos theory.

It directs the flow. Flux as it called it. A unit. A module. Something that can be used in all that the world is about. Many instances. A network. It is based on networks. Abstractions. Derived after a lot of abstractions have been effected. Reducing complexity. Removing complexity. Underlying complexity.

The barebones. Reducing complexity down to its barebones. The unit? Fundamental unit to every system?

What is capitalism, by capitalists.

What are the fundamentals of ‘Capitalism’?

Capitalism eschews the initiation of force against any man, by any man or group of men-a fundamental moral principle. Capitalists cannot therefore advocate for peace at any price, or security at the expense of liberty. Individual moral right, is the first fundamental in capitalist philosophy and is reflected in the US Declaration of Independence when Jefferson penned,

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Capitalists recognize that it is not the right to agree with others that is so crucial to man’s freedom, but it is the right to disagree and to dissent from tyranny in all forms. It is the philosophy of capitalism and its institutions which protect and implement the right of men to disagree that keeps society open to what capitalist’s view as man’s most valuable attribute, his mind.

Application of chaotic dynamics to explain and foresee humanity's evolution.

Freely applying chaotic dynamics to explain the status of the world of people and foreseeing the future of mankind.

Application of chaotic dynamics to understand the global and local attributes currently upheld, expressed as beliefs, political views, social norms, modes of behaviour. New attributes at global and local levels continually form to erode global and local attributes inherited.

New attributes tried and tested at local levels surpass the local boundaries on to lay the fundamentals of the global landscape, paving the inroads to global structure. The fundamental attributes of global structure in turn, influence the attributes allowed at local level, determines the field local trajectories will flow, the attracting basin and further delineate the phase space still to be explored.

Views expressed, on local attributes, global structure. Views expressed provide the momentum that drives the trajectories. One can not expect anything else by agents to act, driven by the local attributes no matter what it drives them forth. Political views, any political views determine the gist of the trajectories followed, developed free to be exercised even if that entails conflict.

Instead of taking hard sides with one or the other of the conflicting factions, their attributes, accepts that all are equally justifiable even despite of any extremities. The extreme views taken by developing trajectories, all in the grand scheme of chaotic dynamics. All within, the allowed by the fundamentals, ground laid out.

Attributes as constants and variables, underlying, overt or hidden, comprising the body of local and global structures. Bifurcations and Liapunov exponents L>1, which entails divergent trajectories and Liapunov exponents L<1, convergent trajectories diverge. Divergence and convergence, their effect on adjacent to and remote to each other trajectories.

Liapunov exponent L>1, trajectories diverge, adjacent trajectories, trajectories of neighbouring agents separate, delineate out of neighbourhoods, from common grounds to distinct parts as their proximity is tested by changing conditions at local level. Remote trajectories move further away from one another.

Liapunov exponent L<1, trajectories converge, adjacent trajectories, move closer, enhance proximity and common ground, favoured by changing conditions. Remote trajectories closer to each other.

By divergence trajectories move away from the attracting basins, further into unexplored phase space, destined either to fall into phase space away from the attracting basins with a little chance of returning back within their sphere of influence, therefore lost, representing all the norms, rules, customs, habits superseded by human individuals by being abandoned, discarded, becoming obsolete, relics of the past, long gone and forgotten. There is no turning back.

By convergence trajectories move near to attracting basins, form compact or new neighbourhoods, new common ground seemingly attract each other, far-flung trajectories get closer, hover over the attracting basins, strengthen resolve, reinforce good practice already built. Brings communities and people closer together with sharpened and solid ties.

Crisis, crisis's points inducing conditions that require novel ways to deal with. Conditions that challenge, try already established attractors, that drive individuals outside their attracting basins, their comfort zones. Push individuals to invent ways untried and untested to deal with the ensuing situations, when the norms, rules, laws, habits fail to provide for individual and the communities.

Conflict as the reason that exacerbates the creation of new trajectories, its potential to split trajectories, to bifurcate and conquer new space, to explore the phase space. To form new attractors or strengthen already existing.

"Certain non-linear systems near the chaotic boundary L ~ 1 or in chaotic transition do however display complex bifurcations and the development of novel structure within the system ..."

Bifurcation of a trajectory. When trajectories bifurcate develop new structures, assign new attributes to a system. New properties emerge, materialising to appear as newly-formed patterns or modes of behaviour. New norms, rules, habits. Thoughts, ideas, beliefs.

Phase space opened up by newly-formed bifurcations, phase space as yet undiscovered in contradiction to phase space which offers no opportunity for attracting basins to form, no attracting basins formation potential, phase space which have been passed by, by being barren and desolate, phase space that has not got creative potential

Global and local structures, the analogies with the Mandelbrot set, self-similarity at bay, self-similar local structures, and all self-similar to the global structure. The tendency annealing local and global trajectories to culminate towards common grounds, to attracting basins that pull and pool the human individuals acts and deeds. Common standards, the attractors at the far end, for each and every individual upon which the rules, norms, laws, habits that communities, societies are built by, the objectives to seek out in a manner that objectivism the least to be said, attempts to assimilate, towards achieving common standards for all individuals comprising the global structure.

Therefore, objectively oriented societies, for not to succumb subjectiveness to its heel, but to provide fertile grounds for subjectivity to thrive. Subjectivity being the sole force that anneals trajectories to trod their paths and in their wake to endow with attributes the local structure and via local to global hyperstructure.
Global woven out of the local attributes and local led by the global perspective. Global impact on the local attributes and out of the local to the global.

Woes about global dictatorship juxtaposed against global attributes attained, the flow of information constantly enabling empowered individuals, individuals continually strengthening their self-determination, their resolve to the extent that dictatorship of any kind at local levels is continually, not just questioned but fought against with unabated resolve, renders global dictatorship virtually untenable.

There is no turning back, the fundamentals, the attracting basins have already been set and would not allow it. The global structure, the whole as being more than the sum of its parts, a whole created out of millions of individuals, as more and more engage into its creation, completion as the continuous flow of information becomes exponential, at its exponential stage, a flow of information that battles vigorously against disinformation, enabling individuals to create informed views, which in its entirety is none other than the total of all views held by all the parts contributing to create the whole. The fractal hyperstructure utterly divided into its deepest fractal pocket occupied by one of each and every individual.

And as a whole, goes forth, each to think globally and act locally, the minds that people create become as wholesome as ever. Global attractors, out of which the human attributes are created, build out of contribution, ever increasing contribution. A whole that is truly, out of the contribution of virtually all of its parts.

Car-to-car distance at least twice the longest vehicle on the road.

The triggers of these thoughts

- Motorway traffic swarms.


There is only the need to adhere to, to one and simple rule by motorists, in rush hour traffic in motorways.

Give space of at least two to three cars in front of you, or even, having in mind to accommodate the bigger users of the motorways, the lorry drivers, make sure the space between your car and the one in front of you, is long enough to accommodate the longest vehicle on the road.

Which means that oncoming cars, especially where motorways merge, would manage to integrate into the lanes without breaking speed, without the need for any drivers that seek access to an adjacent lane with thicker traffic flow, to stop in the middle of their lane and cause untold congestion behind them. That ensures that the flow of the motorway goes uninterrupted, changing lanes effortless.

Bullying in the motorways by aggressive drivers that pass their childish behaviour from the playground into the motorways, where the bragging that leads to bully other individuals still survives in their adult life, expressed without any concern for other individuals, in their mode of driving as as they are in, in the motorway they stick right behind the car in front demanding passage at all cost.

But that is not the only reason motorways get clogged up, stacked cars one after the other, trapped into single lanes, cages that hold the flow of the traffic. This tendency can be construed as a result of the same bullying attitudes from a different perspective as by clinging tight with the car in front access is restricted, other cars can get in, attitude of the sort 'what you are more clever than me?'.

Even the attitude of the drivers who want to get into a lane where motorways merge, holding up the traffic flow in the lane, piling up the traffic behind them, content in the thought that they are following up the rules, in total ignorance of what is going on behind them, they think it is appropriate to stop their car in the middle of busy lane, 'begging' from the drivers in the lane he wants access to, creating hazardous situations behind him, in the lane he occupies.

All these would not have happened if all drivers in the motorway would leave ample space for lane changing between them.

This whole attitude muddles the whole issue of the traffic flow in the motorways as the effortless change of lanes is impeded.

Each driver in tune with the other motorway users collaborating instead of competing for the stretch of the road in front of them.

Car-to-car distance at least twice the longest vehicle on the road. A simple rule that will change the face of motorways in rush hours.

Pandemics, a direct consequence of the profit economic model.

Profit, primary and foremost goal. An incentive of business-as-usual survival, that obliterates the significance of any other concern, commensurate measures, to undo the damage, already being inflicted or bound to get inflicted, seen for entrepreneurs as a hindrance, in their goals for profiting and economic survival. How would anyone expect, for anyone involved in business, to heed on what is necessary, to keep the risks of pandemics at bay? The profit economic model, is short on guarantees, and will always be, for a risk-free implementation, of the humongous task of feeding the world's populations.

If it is not something that comes from within, it would never succeed. The whole global economic system, aspired wholly by the current profit economic model, is such a body constructed out of rules, laws, norms prevalent, a system developed upon, fosters forces within, that constantly clash with what you expect from the system, to provide.

Since the rules adhered to, would not allow it. When the only risk they heed to, is the risk of profits, the depreciation of capital, of money invested, instead of the risk that threatens the well-being of individuals, of the very planet itself.

The world is full of alternative ideas, arrived at, achieved by individuals daily, singly and collectively, and the individuals pursue them in all manners possible and it's inevitable that they will succeed, and the ideas will prevail, its the destiny of humanity, as their force is unstoppable, in whatever way they are measured.

A risk-free sustainable planet, growth to match expectations, in their full potential, as expectations materialise through everyone, for everyone, the world around. World organisations, charities, non-profit, whatever they are called, all try in vain to undo the ills, the profit economic model amply spreads, incessantly, endlessly, wreaking havoc upon the planet and its inhabitants.

Climate change talks, Denmark. Attempting to infuse change from within the current profit economic system, overwhelmed, thwarted already. Fighting an already lost war, against the forces that created the problem, in the first place. Carbon tax measures, marred from within, from the frame that spawned them, doomed from its inception, as it is the product, not of the will of the people but the forces that led them to doom and failure, and aims at anything other but. The forces that their only incentive is, to preserve dominant positions, to hold on to power that money has bestowed upon.

Clashes, revolutions, upheavals? Are not needed, what is needed are the little changes in ideas fostered by all individuals, the kind of ideas that made the end of the apartheid in South Africa and the unification of Germany a reality, the end of the cold war an unavoidable conclusion, what brought people out in Tehran by the millions, spontaneous and overwhelming phenomena that no power acting against, would ever have succeeded to subdue, no matter how insurmountable thought to be.

Thought leaders, if they befit to their calling, focus their attention and energy in what would accelerate the implementation of those changes that the world seeks out, instead of getting entrenched deep within the limits of their profession, exercising the prerogative of the human individual, of what they are, the limiting boundaries each one is restricted by, the allowable perspectives unwinding in forth of everyone, detach themselves from the boundaries of their level, the worlds they are in, into a higher plane, looking things from above, seeing themselves as one of the many individuals in the midst of our societies, and make the most to allow individuals room to think, to change their ideas. Little to tiny changes, inconspicuous, for that matter, incorporated within, ideas, of which there are a-plenty around, gaining ground day-by-day.

A world of ideas, thought leaders, short on thoughts. Do not go deep enough, further deep, so far as to renounce to the world, the profit economic model and assist to eradicate it, from the face of the earth.

Crisis foreseen? .... Collective imagination, bright people and jobs properly done.

What is the point of economists?

"Why did no one see the crisis coming?” Queen Elizabeth asked last year. “A failure of the collective imagination of many bright people” who were all “doing their job properly on its own merit”, was the answer many of those bright people gave in a letter to the Queen last week."

Adiabatic? Explaining the failure.

Adiabatic being ".. a process occurring in a thermally insulated system, so that there is no flow of heat to or from the surroundings." .. thinking being the process occurring, and the flow of heat, represent the flow of thoughts and ideas, thinking insulated from the surroundings.

It occurs by, "..conditions imposed on a process..", the individual sets the thinking process, and at the same time is driven by "..conditions under which the process occurs naturally..", being a natural reaction in every individual.

and the goal is for ".. states to remain unchanged during the course of reaction"

as it " .. exhibits inherent robustness .. " one of its attributes from another field the term adiabatic is used by.


Why so many bright people, each one, an active individual, a system by itself and as a system, the individual, being adiabatic. Each one doing their job, at the best its job it can be done, in its field of expertise. Moment and energy utilised, job properly done on its own merit, but confined expended within the boundaries of the system, that the very same individual comprises.

An individual's primary goal, its integrity. Preserving itself as a whole overriding, restricting the thoughts and ideas contemplated, its very own imagination. This being in direct opposition to any assumed collective attributes, negating the collective.

Its collective standpoint weak, fragile. Collective kept to a minimum, with loose ties to the system, the individual embeds itself in.

Why did they not see the crisis coming?

It was not their priority. Their priority being to preserve their integrity of being, allowing them only to engage, with other individuals whose liaisons lie within the scope of promoting their integrity as systems and what draw and focus(ed) their attention was (and is, what threatens it. Bounds imagination.

Collective? Not as far as it is needed, demanded.

The manufacture of products aiming towards achieving the highest quality possible as a standard

Making the quality of the highest product in the market the standard to be followed for that product for all manufacturers. Constraints imposed by the scarcity of materials needed to be considered when allocating quotas to be made available for all individuals interested in using the particular product.

As it regards to the manufacturing needs of machines and training of individuals to be given by the state with the only goal being to exploit the full potential of the particular method applied to achieve the highest output possible for that particular product. The highest quality possible be made a standard for as many products as possible adhering to the fact that the only constraints being the scarcity or not of the raw materials needed in the manufacture of the relevant product.

Rationalising states function

Excess value, the difference allocated to the total product output of a state by taking away the value contributed by all individuals involved in its production process. The same procedure should be applied for any excess value obtained in the services sector.

Total service and product output representing the wealth produced by all individuals involved in the process, inhabiting in the state domain. The state should draw out of the intrinsic excess value produced, what it needs to fulfill its obligations for providing the whole gamut of services reflecting the wealth produced, with the sole measure the expectations of the individuals within its domain.

Surplus excess value goes to the individuals or groups of individuals whose initiatives have accomplished/will accomplish manufacturing processes.

Chaos.

Chaos. A word describing my endeavor, my goal to comprehend its influence but never being fully touched. Always pussyfooting around but never struck at the heart. Trying hard, examining the effects, the tangible marks, opening inroads but never near. All the thoughts, ideas, concepts amassed did not materialise into something solid about what chaos is. It did not make me feel sure enough to title a post, with that very word.

I have been annoyed often enough when I kept reading about chaos as an unpleasant state, brought out of the minds of the people, referring to as a state to be avoided at all costs, stirred clear of its path, branding it as synonym of mayhem and destruction. I myself was confused as well, as by reading their descriptions, I could not but agree.

Certainly, on and on, I found solace on the thought of the human individual's limited perception. The fallacies that are perpetrated as a result. Along with an unwillingness to learn, either voluntary as a result of an enhanced ego, or involuntary as a result of their working patterns which demand for individuals a great chunk of their day-to-day time, forced into comfort zones, neglecting their chance for personal development.


We have to distinguish chaos drawn out of the testimonies of individuals, laying out their experience of chaos and the chaos which I would call mathematical chaos which nevertheless it is connected to the chaos of objects, objects can be thought of as attractors developed by chaotic processes of mathematical chaos.

Mathematical chaos, as its description entails the use of variables and parametres, that represent the conditions prevalent in the space or time that chaos take place. This conditions are determined by the kind of objects within that specific space and time which ensue interactions, interactions that affect the parametres and variables, as their values change with time and space. It has been called deterministic as it is not random and its course can be determined. Determination can be referred to as purpose.

The mathematical chaos underlies the chaos of objects.

Objects as a house which is the result of processes undertaken by the individuals who built the house. Out of the synchronized and coordinated processes of all individuals involved, from its conception in the mind of the architect and civil engineer and contractor to the bricklayers, roofers, plasterers, carpenters, electricians, fitters concerted efforts, each individual involved with its own purpose, the deterministic element inherent in the individual processes undertaken.

Chaos becomes evident when the whole process of building a house, is filmed from its foundation to the last job done, watched in fast forward motion. The teeming of people witnessed, is baffling to the human mind, it gets confused and lost, chaos experienced. The human mind does not manage to see the synchronization in the processes of the people involved, or barely, and such a lack from the perspective of perception is attributed as chaos. The blueprints of the architect act as an attractor. All the efforts (processes) undertaken are attracted to the plans, where no brick is laid out anywhere else apart where the walls in the plan are, no tile is hung mid-air apart from where the roof is.

And more than the very conception of the house, the blueprints the architect prepares, the type, shape, size has passed through many variations, from its inception of dwellings for people to reside in, to its modern form it is a result of attractors as they have developed over the years. The time dimension of the attractor house.

Attractors which acquire physical form, become tangible but being no different in conception to any other attractors, tangible or intangible, as they evolve out of chaos.

A synchronization's role in the 'considered as metaphysical notions transcending the boundaries of science' processes that accomplish "wholeness"?

"A line synchronization problem and the repeated intrusive tests required for problem determination have caused over 6 hours of outages this week"

This passage drew my attention this morning. Its coming, its entrance into my consciousness seemingly random, and I emphasize seemingly, as its connection, minutes after, with thoughts I have been contemplating the past few days ... it seems uncanny.

Even now, as I try to record these thoughts, I let them come by themselves, unbiased, by any considerations external to the thoughts themselves, even, by my very own conscious thoughts. A theme I have mentioned in other posts before, which boils down to ... let my chaotic mind flow ...

Thoughts already in place, hooked on the phrase 'problem determination', to determine the problem, to elucidate what the problem is, before attempting to solve it, to offer solutions. An approach which is recommended, in any discipline individuals are engaged in.

The problem, 'line synchronization problem', the line being a channel, path, trajectory, down which a stream, or waves are propagated. Lack of synchronization, being out of step, and ...., enriching the concept with more attributes, that will spring, kickstart, induce further associations ....,

"(engineering) The maintenance of one operation in step with another,.."

or

" (electronics) Also called sync. Precise matching of two waves or functions."

or

"(DOD) 1. The arrangement of military actions in time, space, and purpose to produce maximum relative combat power at a decisive place and time."

and

"2. In the intelligence context, application of intelligence sources and methods in concert with the operation plan."

Further,

"Synchronization or synchronisation[1] is timekeeping which requires the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. The familiar conductor of an orchestra serves to keep the orchestra in time. Systems operating with all their parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync."

In my mind, I have associated synchronization with what I read in the paper "The History and Status of General Systems Theory", by Ludwig von Bertalanffy. Particularly what is mentioned in page 415.

"General systems theory, then, consists of the scientific exploration of "wholes" and "wholeness" which, not so long ago, were considered to be metaphysical notions transcending the boundaries of science. Novel concepts, methods, and mathematical fields have developed to deal with them."

Systems looked at, from the perspective of "wholes", and "wholeness" as a 'drive' that sparks and maintains a force, within the system with the task of acting towards achieving an end, end being the system acquires "wholeness", becomes a "whole", and as a "whole" acts to its surroundings. Achieved by synchronization 'the coordination of events to operate a system in unison'. Synchronization assuming a role in the 'considered to be metaphysical notions transcending the boundaries of science' processes that accomplish "wholeness"?

And wholeness is achieved in systems, (page 415, bertalanffy.pdf)

" ... not only the elements but their interrelations as well are required ..."

by the elements, a system is comprised of, and vitally their interrelations, which without, the system would not be.

Elements and their interrelations, in a sense given in the following paragraph, page 414-415

"Classical science in its various disciplines,such as chemistry, biology, psychology, or the social sciences, tried to isolate the elements of the observed universes-chemical compounds and enzymes, cells, elementary sensations, freely competing individuals, or whatever else may be the case-in the expectation that by putting them together again, conceptually or experimentally, the whole or system-cell, mind, society-would result and would be intelligible."
