Conspiracies

Conspiracies.
See previous  http://andreswhy.blogspot.com 

A conspiracy is by definition where information flows are blocked .

Consider n real persons /systems .

First , let information flow in only one direction due to secrecy. Thus , the  number of information flows (nPr) in a cell  of r elements is the permutations in the group

nPr = n(n-1)(n-2)…(n-r+1)

But in a conspiracy , there is backward flow of information in cell of r people , since no conspiracy can function without some input of information . Thus , regardless of how it is organized , the number of information flows in a cell where there is feedback is

nCr = nPr / (r!)

At first , it seems paradoxical that nCr < nPr  . It means that a feedback cell is more secure than a one-way transmission (since there are fewer sources of error)  . But if there are multiple transmissions over the same routes , errors would be detected earlier in the nCr network than over the one-way nPr network .

Now examine Large networks ( large values of n like nations , political parties , etc)

The variable r can then always take values 0 ,1,2,3,…

This gives the expansion :

2^n = nC0 + nC1 + nC2 + nC3 + …nC(n)
       = nC0 + nP1/(1!) + nP2/(2!)+ nP3/(3!) +…

What does this mean?
The easiest way is to see the effect of the interactions of  three persons A,B,C .
2^3 = 3C0 + 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3  expansion for 3
       = 1      + 3      + 3     + 1
The combinations are:
3C0 = no person involved . (1 interactions)
3C1 = A , B ,C  (3 interactions)
3C2 = AB , BC , AC  (3 interactions)
3C3 = ABC  (1 interactions)

What does
“3C0 = no person involved . (1 interactions)” mean?
It translates into what humans call the essence of the group .

Humans call it the morals , the society , the religion , the company , science ,
the gods . The immaterial component of human society . Virtual persons .

Note that the above equations describe , by definition , all possible on-off  information blockages between identifiable elements .

This means that any system that has any information blockage at all , will have an immaterial component . Blockage here is defined as identifiableness . For something to be identifiable , it needs to have either a natural boundary , or a defined boundary . Since defined boundaries need an observer of some sort , defined physics has a cultural aspect .

It also means that any system with pronounced differentiations ( like race , class , birth , wealth ) , will have some fundamentalist immaterial justifications . This will be true of any society ( human , alien ,AI )

Stability points for societies with limited communication :

r !  : The number of ways information can flow in a group of r .

The series is
0! , 1! , 2! , 3! , 4! , 5! , etc .
0! : The culture
1! :  1 ruler
2! :  2 parties
3! :  6 parties .
4! :  24 parties .
etc

Conspiracy Central.  

Because the number of possible conspiracies so far outstrip the number of individuals involved , there would be seem to be an evolutionary niche for a co-ordinating Conspiracy Central .
Alas , as seen above  , this role has already been taken over by Culture / Religion .
There are so many conspiracies , that they choke each other .
Some interpretations see personalities as cultural centers in the multifarious brain complex .

This ties in with
Open Conspiracies.
Open Conspiracies are ones which anyone can join at a low level . Advancement in the hierarchy depends on performance . Most companies and old religions fall into this category . Just about all conspiracies these days are open conspiracies . Political parties , religions , unions, guilds .
They just don’t make conspiracies like the used to .

The most vulnerable points of any conspiracy (or hierarchical system) are
at 1/e , 1/e^2 , 1/e^3 , etc . in the gap from the bottom to the top of the hierarchical structure .
These are points where small chaotic influences can insinuate themselves .
If you want to change yourself or others , don’t start at the top or the bottom Start 37% from the bottom .
