Optimal Exits

Optimal Exits
Andre Willers
14 Nov 2009

Synopsis:
An optimal exit strategy of non-catastrophic (ie not discontinuous) nature can always be found .

Discussion .

The proof is found by simply reversing Catastrophe Theory , which has well-proven theoretical mathematical underpinnings . The actual catastrophe acts as a trapdoor-function , but it has lead-ins .

Care has to be taken with perfect hindsight .
It becomes two questions :
1.Can an exit strategy always be found with perfect hindsight ?
The answer is yes , except if a naked singularity is involved . Then cases can exist where there are no conceivable warnings , no matter how perfect the information .

2. Can an exit strategy be found with imperfect present knowledge ?
This amounts to identifying the gradients in the local information-space ("The Warnings" ) and backtracking up the gradient . If you are in Catastrophe fold (see Postle , catastrophe theory , etc) , backtrack until the fold flattens . This is the optimum exit point . This can always be found unless a Naked Singularity is lurking about .

An application :

Reversing out of a dimly lit underground parking bay at a shopping mall .

The risk of severe neck injuries from even low-speed collisions is distressingly high (in the order of 20% if you have no reverse lights) .

Results of a strapped-in driver suffering a tail-swipe at right-angles :

His body is constrained by the straps and violently torqued , while his head is kept in position by inertia . The neck is violently twisted . The result is damage to the neck muscles , sinews , bloodvessels , vertebra and spinal nerves .
Damage can range from whiplash to paralysis , stroke and death . Even from a mild impact .

Drivers looking for parking cruise by at about 20 mph , while their attention is distracted and the lighting is dim . They do not watch for cars moving , but lights moving .
The driver reversing out has limited vision due to neighbouring cars and pillars .

These are our warning slopes in the information area .

Optimal Exit Algorithm :
1.Do not strap in until outside parking bay . (to stop body-neck twist)
2.Switch on lights and a turning signal (to get approaching driver's attention)
3.Do not leave anybody outside the car . (Unprotected if metal starts flying around)
4.Reverse out carefully in fits and starts (not smoothly) . The approaching driver is not continuously monitoring your area . He must have time to register the change and react .
5.Once out , come to a dead stop , strap in and proceed .
6. Better if parked with the nose out , but how many people can reverse-park in a narrow parking bay ?
7.That’s it .

Your chances of running into a naked singularity in an underground parking space is really small . (Try Las Vegas ?)

Of course , the safest strategy is not to drive at all . This is why this technique is called Optimal , not Best . The most bang for your bucks .


General :
The same principles can be applied to get the optimal way out of any situation .

But watch out for naked singularities .
These can also be described as strange attractors of strange attractors .

A strange world we live in , master Jack .

Hairlessness , Fat and Fire

Hairlessness , Fat and Fire
Andre Willers

14 Nov 2009



Synopsis:

Human hairlessness , subcutaneous fat and fire are linked .



Discussion .

See NewScientist 19 Sep 2009 p28 .



Humans have not lost their hair . It just became finer (down) . This happened about 3.3 MYA (million years ago) .

About the time fire was mastered .

The skin coloring (melacortinon 1 receptor) happened about 1.2 MYA .



Anyone who has spent a cold night next to a wood fire knows exactly what happened



1.Hair :

You smell of smoke , especially your hair . The woodsmoke particles lodge in the stiff hairs . All predators around (especially leopards , and especially Felis Dino) smell breakfast bells ringing . There is heavy selection against hairiness

Basically , the hairy ones got eaten first .

But the advantages of fire outweighed the disadvantages . So body hair had to go . Patches remained for other reasons as previously discussed .

This is very elementary selection pressure .



By the time clothing was invented (weaving circa 200 000 YA) , humans had mostly exterminated the leopards . The selection pressure against hairiness lessened , but females still selected for it . Except in some cold climates .



Nothing turns a human female off more than a hairy male smelling of woodsmoke after a braai . It is deeply wired in . He is not reliable mating material . Liable to get eaten .

But notice that nostril hairs evolved during this period , to filter woodsmoke particles .



2.Subcutaneous Fat .

You will notice that no matter which way you organize it , some people end up being roasted on the side next to the fire and freezing on the side away from it (especially 3MYA) . So , obviously they rotated their bodies .



Even a small measure of heat-retention will have dramatic effects (it is non-linear) . A thin fat layer under the skin has effects on the order of r^3 . Especially in babies and children .



Subcutaneous fat is quite extraordinary in that it is both an insulator and a heat storage unit . A nifty piece of biological evolutionary engineering .

This came in quite handy for fishing . Semi-aquatic episodes (like shore-dwellers) could tolerate cold and hypothermia better , not just because they had a subcutaneous fat layer , but mainly because they had a big fire going on the beach to warm up afterward .



Food was not used for heating the body . The human subcutaneous fat layer is not sufficient to provide protection against prolonged immersion . Something everybody who has done any swimming knows . The fire afterwards is essential .



The aquatic episode (Hardy and Morgan) probably did happen , but after fire was harnessed .



An easy living enabled by fire and fat .



See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Makgadigadi Sea" et al .



Relevance today :



Scare the hair and fat off you .



1.Have a hyperimage of Felis Dino .

As discussed previously , the trigger is that the teeth are wider than the eyes . The Old Greeks simplified it to the Cyclops , a man-eating ogre with wide teeth and one eye .

An image that still resonates after 3000 years .



This triggers deep-wired reduction in fat-layers .

The Image :



.

. O .

. .

. V V .

….……………...............


…...



The O is the eye , the V's the teeth and the dots the outline . Better if drawn . But even a sketch like this will trigger fat reduction and deep anxiety . Note the similarity to Chinese and Western Dragons . Note the similarity to the Freemason symbology (eg US dollar bill) , Sphinxes , Babylonian winged lions , Assyrian reliefs , Aztec, Mayan Jaguars .



Hairloss will follow . (Why Americans have no hair.)



A temperature-differential (fold one blanket up) or have a heater only on one side in an air-conditioned room will cause a drastic fat-loss .



But also see all the posts on Click languages , evolved to beat this .



Note that central-heating will make you fat .

Humans evolved over 3 million years to rotate in one place in the presence of a single radiant heat source. Any omni-directional heating makes the body think that this is surplus energy that can be squirreled away as fat .

See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Escalators make you fat."



If this image makes you uncomfortable , or exacerbates learned-helplessness , (as it will tend to do) , use the double-click of teeth and tongue method as described in previous posts to relieve stress of this nature . It should relieve some symptoms .

The image has the propensity of sneaking up on you , since it triggers hard-wired responses .



Anorexics , catatonics and paranoics take note .



It will eat you .



Unless you eat it first .



Bon appetit .

Anorexia

Anorexia .
Andre Willers .
6 Nov 2009

Synopsis :
A learned-helplessness response from prolonged stress , involving some deeply-hardwired fight-or-flight and energy systems .

Discussion :

Normal :
The body prefers energy supplies as alcohols , fats/oils , then carbohydrates in that order .

Emergencies:
Alcohols , then carbohydrates then fats/oils .

The reason alcohols are first have been discussed before . (It is to mop up alcohol produced in the bloodstream by yeasts) .

Carbs like sugar are second simply because they can be made available more quickly . They are simpler to digest . Faster .

Emergencies involve fight-or-flight mechanisms .
Time matters .
Emergencies are signaled by the stress-responses.

For small arboreal animals this means ejecting surplus weight and also not taking on too much mass (eating too much) . This has been hard-coded into the ghrelin feedback systems through evolution .

Hence the violent , instantaneous nausea the idea of food invokes over a certain threshold .

This is quite normal in low-carb , high-fat diets (like Atkins) . The alcohol intake has no influence .

A combination of continued stress , low-carb and low-fat dieting will send the organism into an attractor basin of violently rejecting any food . The body thinks it is protecting itself .
There is no psychology of self-image involved .
I do not know if diarrhea is associated with it , but I strongly suspect it .

The continued stress is associated with the learned-helplessness . This is a neural-network response to no positive feedback .

The organism feels cornered . It curls into a little ball and waits to be eaten . (See Sapolsky : this is actually the response . )

Hand-grip :
Anorexia learned-helplessness at least has an attack-point :
The Strength of the Hand .
The bottom of the attractor-basin is the knowledge that the hand-grip is not strong enough to grasp the far-off branch to survive .

So , hand exercises are called for .

A plain , ordinary spring exerciser will do .

A fancy one can have vibrators built in , powered by piezoelectrics , playing your favourite tunes . A vibrating branch in your hand .
By gad ! A new gadget !

See previous posts on human evolution and tree-branches .

Please note that all the big things around us has been built by two hands . Strong hands (ever seen a brickie's fingers ?) . This is one of those not-mentioned sexual selection criteria amongst humans . (Writers don't have big , fat fingers , only big , fat heads .)

Women are turned on by thick , muscular , banana fingers . This is a very old system .
And deservedly so .

The mirror neurons in females feel this lack and interpret it as weakness . This easily segues into learned-helplessness .

Teeth-click :
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Phene Systems"
Double-click teeth and tongue (with mouth open) to reset stress mechanisms .
I am not going to re-discuss this .

Combined with the hand-grip strengthening , this is particularly targeted at anorexia .

When appetite returns :
A high-fat , medium carb diet is recommended . Alcohol is immaterial .

The algorithm :
1.Strengthen hand-grip by exercise .
2.Double-click teeth and tongue (with open mouth) at least once a day .
3.Eat a high-fat diet when appetite returns .
4.That’s it .

Bon Appetit !

Phene Systems.

Phene Systems.
Andre Willers
5 Nov 2009

Synopsis :
Cellular-wall control systems(phenes) of epigenetic and virus systems are becoming known and described .

Discussion :
See NewScientist 8 Aug 2009 p 41 "Kills all known germs" by B Holmes .
Relevant research by Philip Thorpe at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas .

See also http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Coffee Foam" 2 Aug 2009 and later .

The argument is simple : self-replicating structures started on the walls of bubbles (probably clay : Gecko life) . These developed into the present day epigenetic control structures of processes inside the bubbles (ie cells) .
Viruses are messengers/controls both for intra-cellular and extra-cellular use .
Which is why they are usually wrapped in variants of the cell-wall .

Phosphatidylserine :
From the NewScientist article , this is a molecule mostly found sticking out of the inner lining of the cell-wall . Virus budding entails that this molecule is then found in particular patterns sticking out of the outside the outer cell-wall .

We expect such a mechanism if the cell-wall harbours the meta-controls (ie epigenetics) of the cell and some multicellular activity (ie virus messenger generation).

Humans have created antibodies that inactivate or target-for-destruction the bits of the Phosphatidylserine molecule sticking out of the cell-wall .

This will break the feedback-cycle of a large range of harmful viruses (apparently including HIV , Flu's , some cancers) .
Bavituximab ( a name only a Pharma could love) does exactly this . Expect to see a lot of it .

The question is :
Why are these antibodies not part of the body's normal immune system ?
Answer:
The virus system is also used for information carrying .

Suppressing the virus system completely will destroy a multicellular organism , and make it revert to a collection of individual cells , even down to elemental chemicals if done properly . (Cf Ebola , SuperEbola , etc)

This can be bypassed by shining intense , quantum-entangled infra-red light through the mess (see previous posts) .

The normal system has to play a delicate balancing act between destruction from bad viruses and good,communication viruses .

If the baddies get too big an influence , intervention might be required . This is the duty of the epigenetic system . Why is it falling down on the job ?

The Dendritic Immune sytem
This is the connection between the synapse-type learning systems and the phene-system in the cell walls .

The dendritic immune system's effectiveness is magnified by at least 3 orders of magnitude by a continuous sharp pressure-differential . The search space is drastically reduced by stochastic resonance . (The proof is either immediately obvious or very long).

Hence modern music and it's prevalence .

Your chances of survival is about 10^3 better if you listen to some semi-random rock.
Hence iPod and others . This is a real effect .

But we can do better than that by internal Click programming .
You know : Clicking the tongue , beak , teeth , exoskelet .

There is no animal with synapses or an immune system that makes no clicks at some stage .
This is actually quite amazing .

Plants:
We would then expect plants to be noisy . And they are , on very low frequencies . This is how desert elephants survive : they hear the bulbous plants growing by the low-frequency pulses sensed through their feet . A patch of bulbs would have a signature low-frequency pulse observable from a long way off . (The bulbs would evolve-learn to spurt growth at the same time . This would lessen the chance of detection and eating by close-by herbivores not as smart as elephants)

Click-talking plants .
Better than just talking to them . But try some castanets . Tap-dancing will work too , but the neighbours will think you're really crazy tap-dancing to the plants . Tojours .

Grinding your teeth .
A common complaint , usually explained away as stress . Actually , your teeth are trying to click together . A part of the body's housekeeping routine . Programming the gums and intestinal tract .

Just for the hell of it , click your teeth together 5 times together with 5 double-tongue clicks interspersed as you feel . Count them . You will feel an immediate stress-relief feeling . Blood pressure will drop . Be careful if medication to lower blood pressure is taken .

I just thought of the above , and tried it .
The teeth (molars mostly) must click against each other . You will notice there is a damage-control protocol hardwired in . The teeth will click , but not hard enough to cause damage . This already tells us that this is an old system .

The natural tendency will be for a double-teeth click , followed by a double tongue-click with the mouth open . The process then repeats , varying the teeth , tongue and mouth open/closed .

Be careful of hypotension of the cardiovascular system . The stress relief is very pronounced . Especially around the neck and upper shoulder muscles .

Teeth-grinding should cease .

But why ?
I did not expect this . But the effect is so pronounced that I cannot ignore it .
The neck and shoulder muscles do not relax through an effort of will or exercise . They just relax . (Sort of melt) .

Maybe a double bite-bite on empty air signals the end of an aggressive episode , and for expensive fight-or-flight mechanisms to stand down .

This would make this fairly deep-wired , certainly deeper than psychological stress .

Phene effects .
The stand-down is an immediate stand-down , regardless of the number previous stress-generating events . This must be true , since this is the epigenetic programming system . There is no other memory system .

Phene programming of immune-systems , bone-growth , digestion , neural growth etc ,are immediately affected . Genes are switched from crisis to maintenance . Using the carbohydrate-energy mechanism is a short-term crisis mechanism .

Standing down the mechanism should ameliorate conditions like Diabetes II .

Or getting fat .

Want to get thin ?
The algorithm :
Double-teeth click , followed by a double tongue-click with the mouth open . The process then repeats , varying the teeth , tongue and mouth open/closed .
Repeat at least ten times a month .
That’s it .


Can it be this simple?
Yes .

Why has nobody thought of it before ?
As far as I am aware , nobody in our recorded history has thought that the click of teeth together can have physiological effects . Prehistoric societies were probably aware of the effect .

Yet it does , as you can find out for yourself .
The same for the simplicity . Simple causes has wide effects , because they are so basic . You must look at the whole argument .

In any case , there is hardly any risk .
I am doing it . Tojours!

Hasta la vista !
Coming or going .

Moire Patterns and Click .

Moire Patterns and Click .
Andre Willers
3 Nov 2009

Synopsis :
Moire patterns created by tongue-click or artificial clicks create virtual Moire patterns in the body that programs phenes . Especially phases of phases of the virtual patterns .

Discussion :

See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Moire Patterns " , " Counting sheep" , "Click , heart and biceps" and other related posts .

See again the
Windows Media Player . Right-Click on the black and goto , This gives an analogue of Itarin or visual training systems slaved to sound .
The picture is the sound with a simple transform into 3-dimensions . Watching it for about 5 minutes triggers major transform-correlations in the visual-auditory system .

The Moire patterns on the square changes with the rotational angle of the square (the phase) , but this square's phase changes according to a pattern (the music) .

Phases of phases .
This is a pictorial representation of how synapse systems learn . Especially in the visual system , but generally true .

The synapse systems can program the phene system using phases of phases .
The proof is either immediately obvious or too long for this article .

An example :
Finger-clicking with both hands .
Most humans can only fingerclick with the dominant hand .
It takes about 4 minutes to train the other hand to fingerclick using this method .

Algorithm:
1.Start musical Moire patterns using chosen tool (eg Windows Media Player as described above) .
2.Stretch fingers of both hands backwards as far as possible (see http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Human Nails" 23 Aug 2007 ) why this works . It puts the stress on the nerve-centres under the nail-beds equivalent to tapping .
3.Fingerclick both hands in time to the music while double-tongue clicking .
4.You will find that there will be no problem with double-or single tongueclicking as long as the fingers are stretched or clicking .
5.The nerve-muscle systems take about 5 minutes to train .
6.It is actually quite exciting when you hear the left-hand clicking sound starting to happen . It actually works . (I have done it)
7.Doing it with the left hand on its own takes a bit of more training . (a few more minutes)
8. The change is permanent , because of phene programming .


What is happening ?
The backwards-stretching of the fingers and the tongue-clicking facilitates information transfer between the left-and right hand hemispheres of the brain . Fingerclicking with both hands enables a fast skill-transfer .
The synapse system transfers the skill via the phene system . A permanent change .

Guitar and the Heart :
You will note that playing instruments like the guitar that uses only the right-hand to feed-back percussion through the fingertips while the elbows are usually tightly clasped to the torso creates unbalanced effects on the heart-stemcells , and even on rhythm producing cells .
Note the short lifetimes of good guitar-players .
(Usually attributed to drugs , but they just felt bad and took drugs to alleviate it , while their shamans went "hugga-bugga" .)
It was the guitar that killed them , your honor .
Would Jimi Hendrix have minded ?

Double-tongue click to any rhythm .
This is difficult unless the finger-stretch method is used .This is not exactly the same as the finger-tapping method . The finger-tapping is more circumscribed , but more emphatic . Don't worry , if you do it according to the music , your body will automatically co-ordinate finger-stretching , finger-tapping and tongue clicking .

I told you it was hard-wired in .

An improved Heart-phene Algorithm :
1.Clamp upper arms tightly as possible to side of body .
2.Stretch palms and fingers as far as possible , bending at the wrists .
3.Double click tongue to suitable music for at least five minutes .(Mouth open and closed)
4.Wriggle fingers in time to the music . Tap fingers if you feel like it .
5. Watch Moire patterns at the same time .
6.Unfortunately , about 5 minutes are needed .
7.Thats it .

This should improve heart , eye and auditory systems .
Be careful of becoming a raving sex lunatic . See below .

Note the elbow-tuck , wrist-bend , finger-stretching .
This is found in many Tantric dances . Phene programming can affect NO systems , but I think more input is required for the pattern-programming . The music ? Intensional clenching ? The food ?
Does the MSG(umami) receptor make a human more receptive to low-pressure programming ? The mind boggles .

But note nitro-glycerine tablets and mirror-neurons .
Watching another person performing certain actions fires equivalent neurons in the mirror-system . Phene programming can be activated . And the tablets work better if sucked .
An interesting speculation .

And what do you do if you get the finger ?

Digitally yours

Click , Heart and Biceps .

Click , Heart and Biceps .

Andre Willers

Synopsis
Heart stemcells can be activatated via Click via biceps and triceps .



Discussion :

I am a wee pissed off at the lack of appreciation . I will give the algorithms , but you lot can work out why they work .



Bicep growth Algorithm :

1.Clamp upper arms tightly as possible to side of body .

2.Double click tongue to suitable music for at least five minutes .

3.Thats it .



You will feel as if you just had a weight workout .

The biceps and triceps and torso next to the arms will feel swollen. (This is actually true.)

Pressure sensitive nerves between the arm and torso connect to the lungs and heart , to activate some genes via the synapse system .



Heart algorithm .

The heart stemcells are governed by click feedback from the biceps through the chest cavity . You figure out the proof (though it is obvious : phases of phases of time-delays ).



Heart phene programming is rather a ho-hum .



Just repeat the above .



That’s it .

Counting Sheep .

Counting Sheep .
Andre Willers
31 Oct 2009

Synopsis :
Non-numerative counting plays an important part in predator-prey relationships in the physical , financial and intellectual worlds , as well as neurology and sleep .

Discussion :

Non-numerative counting:
Every sheep farmer knows this : herd the sheep in bunch , leave an opening and count them as they jump through in bunches . But the number in a bunch is not counted in a 1,2,3 etc fashion .

The mind is sort of uncoupled , and the primitive counting brain-mechanism does the job . This is hard to describe (our language does not have the detailed vocabulary ), but I have done it . Every sheep farmer has done it . Most of the people reading this has seen it done . It is a simple , learned skill , probably easily taught via computer screen. See previous posts on Primitive Counting and animal counting .

This process fatigues the neurotransmitter senders and receptor sites .

Famously , counting sheep will send you to sleep . It will , if you count the sheep in bunches . Until the system gets trained .

This leaves the problem of communicating the count .

See the excellent book "How Mathematics Happened: the first 50 000 years" by Peter S Rudman (ISBN 978-1-59102-477-4)

The bases usually used are 10 and 20 . The Babylonian base 60 is a combinations of abacus bases 10 and 6 in sequence . An intriguing hint at neurotransmitter fatigue before general schooling .

Arithmetic is more fatiguing than algebra . Neurotransmitter fatigue .

Click and neurotransmitter fatigue .
An initial one-to-one correspondence between the click and the counted item will quickly lead to fatigue of the tongue and neurotransmitters . Hence the grouping of numbers ( See Schmandt-Besserat on counting tokens in the early civilizations) .

As discussed in http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Click , Lies , Hope and Sex" ,
Abstraction led to lies . As we secretly suspected , abstraction , and thus lies , only became possible on major scale with accountants . But hope as well .

What would you rather have : No hope and no lies , or hope and lies ? There is no middle way . In any case , any abacus-type counting (ie wealth) will immediately give rise to abstractions and thus lies . Poverty and honesty is, unfortunately , closely linked .

Hence accountants and lawyers .

A fascinating aside :
On page 123 of National Geographic of June 2009 is a photo of counters and a dice from the Belituck shipwreck of the Tang dynasty (Circa AD 826)

The dice can come from Las Vegas today , but the counters (chips) date back to Sumer . Gamblers are an extremely conservative lot . (Note Mongols , playing cards , printing and gambling. )

(See p92 and p93 of "How Mathematics Happened: the first 50 000 years" by Peter S Rudman (ISBN 978-1-59102-477-4) or Schmandt-Besserat on counting tokens in the early civilizations .)

The chips shown in the photo from the Belitung wreck (described as "ivory acorns") appear to be of 1 , 60 and 600 denominations according to the old Sumerian counters. High stakes .

Not many dice have survived , probably because there were not a large number to start with . It is quite difficult to get balanced (fair) dice when everybody is trying to cheat . The Chinese probably charged a premium for guaranteed fair dice , hence the very characteristic appearance and indented holes as numbers . A high-value trade item .

Which makes one wonder at the role gambling played . Remember , these were all civilizations with highly developed systems of Astrology (ie Luck masquerading as Destiny) . Hence the short half-life of fair dice .

Is there any record of lotteries?
A large city like Babylon could easily support at least three number rackets .
Gambling spreads literacy faster than any educational system .

To get back to Prey in large numbers:
They flash countable markers and flee (eg buck or sheep prancing . )
The optimum strategy for individual survival .

In small numbers they turn and confront the predator .
Quorum systems are applicable , and can be quite dangerous to even large predators .

The predator can be a bank , financial advisors , academic supremo's or political bigwigs . The systems can be exactly described and boundaries of behaviour ascribed

Music and counting .
Low neurotransmitter fatigue arithmetic and music are different sides of the same coin.

It is interesting to speculate that the latest financial instability was basically caused by iPod .
Quorum counting systems in the financial prey changed irrevocably .
Prey behaviour changed .
Predators who continue on the "business as usual" approach is headed for extinction .

Domestication :
This taps into this mechanism . Isolate into small groups and surround by natural predators . The quorum prey behaviour changes .

Mozart , anyone ?
