Failed State

Failed State
Andre Willers
14 May 2010

Synopsis :
Failed states have one and only one characteristic : They cannot defend or maintain themselves .

Discussion :
Is RSA a failed state ?
.
It has been seen as a failed state since 1977 , during the Apartheid Regime .Kissinger's infamous grunt when asked about SA troops in Angola said it all . The US State Dept , CIA , Defense Dept has written RSA off as a failed state .

This was held in abeyance during 1994 – 1999 . During the Mbeki and then Zuma administrations , RSA was seen to go down the normal tubes of African failed states .

Argument :
The State has two primary functions:
1.Defend itself .
2.Use taxes to get the money to defend itself .
If it cannot do these two elementary functions , it is a failed state .

Discussion :
1.The SANDF has about 60 000 members , which a third are HIV positive . Experienced non-coms have been maneuvered out in the name of BEE .
They have mutinied at least once in a public manner .
Rating (1/10)

Private armies of 3 groups number about 180 000 , mostly veteran old SADF troopies and non-coms .
Rating (1/10)

The Militia Reserve (Commando's) have been disbanded .
There is no military reserve .

2.SARS
This used to be the only well-functional government department .
Sigh .
The consultantcy firm that made them efficient has been moved to HomeAffairs . SARS has decayed back into the incompetent mess it was before . My personal experience :
Rating (4/10)

The other State Functions:
The State is supposed to do large scale things outside private enterprise .

1.Education . A lamentable failure . The biggest budget item .
Rating (3/10) . Official stats . Only a third are literate.
2.Power (ESKOM)
Rating (6/10) At present
3.Water
Rating (5/10) . Big cities still have water .
4 Sewerage
Rating (0.7/10) Official Stats . A disaster.
5.Transport :
5.1 Roads . Municipal roads are a disaster . National roads are passable , but expensive due to tolls .
Rating (3/10)
5.2 Railways . Rural lines are a disaster . National lines are maintained .
Rating (6/10)
5.3 Pipelines .
Rating (9/10)
5.4 Ports .
Rating (6/10)
5.5 Airports
Rating (7/10)
6. Health
A disaster .
Rating (2/10)
7. Justice
The State cannot safeguard it's citizens .
Rating (2/10)
8 Food. RSA is now a net food importer .
Rating (3/10)
9 Security of land tenure
Rating (8/10) A lot of fraud via CIPRO.
10 Security of intellectual property rights (CIPRO)
Rating (3/10)
11. Water .
Rating (4/10)
12. Financial systems .
Rating (4/10)

These express existing conditions . After 15 years of rule by the same incompetents , I see no reason why it should suddenly change . It will get worse .

Summing :
Essential State functions:
PEssential =6/10 = 0.6
Other :
POther= 71.7/160= 0.448125

PState= (0.6 + 0.449)/2 =0.524

A failed state would be if PState <0.33
A succesful state would be if PState >0.66

Not what I expected . RSA can go either way , but the critical elements are the Defence Forces in the Essential State functions . These can be ramped up within about 6 weeks . But Reserves are a major problem .

Basically , the State is weak in service delivery and even in the Army , but has strong enough monetary systems to hire mercenaries like the private armies (called security firms)

Expect militarization of RSA and aggressive expansion into Africa . This is already happening economically . But more efficient usage of land and mineral resources would pay for cost of the military machine .

If you look at all the elements of the Other state functions , you will see that most of them will get better by exporting an aggressive expansionist groups of persons .

Zuma seems ideally positioned .
From a Real-Politik viewpoint , if Africans do not take control of their territory , the Indians and Chinese will (they already are doing this)

So Emperor Zuma is a high probability , and even desirable

And White Afrikaners ?
They make superb lieutenants . But they have failed twice in 100 years to run their own national affairs . (Boer War , 1994)

Many of them will come back if there is an aggressive incursion into Africa , resulting in an Empire of Africa .

Timespan is about 1.5 to 2 years from now before the Armoured Impis lunge northwards .

All hail Emperor Zuma .

Financial Crisis 14 May 2010

Financial Crisis 14 May 2010
Andre Willers
14 May 2010

Synopsis:
Wealth grew faster than the number of monetary units . Misguided monetary policies created huge vacuoles of monetary demand . These are being filled in by a series of burps , called crises . See discussion in Appendix A .

Discussion :

A Salute to Angela Merkel .
On Sunday , 9th of May 2010 , she saved hundreds of millions of lives .
She forced the German cabinet to bail out Greece , against 90% opposition .

Consequences if she had not :
Greece , then Spain , then Italy , then eastern European states would have seceded from the EU monetary union , and thus the EU . Europe would have been back in the early 1930's . A Failed State , fracturing on ethnic lines .

General warfare like the collapse of Yugoslavia would have followed within 2.5 years. While this would not have been in Russia's optimal interest , it would have no choice but to become involved . This would have dragged in the USA (there are still large USA garrisons in Germany) , and China .
A right mess .
WW 2.5

As an Ossie , she at least had learned enough from history not to repeat it .
A salute is definitely called for .

What will happen now ?
Very little . Stock markets will keep on rising .
Stock markets will keep on selling discounted future values a bit more enthusiastically as number of monetary units more closely match wealth .
The trillions were simply soaked up by the accumulated difference between wealth creation and monetary creation .

Big inflation has not happened after the trillions created in the USA burp .
See the gold price . The slight increase was created by uncertainty , not massive inflation .
There is still not enough monetary units to soak up the surplus wealth .
And as we go into the Singularity , wealth is being created at even higher rates .

India and Russia
There will probably be a smaller burp in India and Russia .

And China ?
There are no large vacuoles of monetary demand . By keeping the yuan tied to the dollar and encouraging capital inflow , there are sufficient number of monetary units to match wealth creation .
Internal property values show a tendency towards a bubble , but this is not a vacuole .
Maybe they read my blog .

Why are we in this mess ?

The failure of academia .
I'm afraid the mathematicians have to carry the can .Economic models are based on mathematical models . The latest disaster is called the Black-Scholes equations , the basis of hedge funds .The basis of this is that the highest order of randomness is flip a coin . Yet we know this is not true . See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Order of randomness" or "New Tools" .

The result was the collapse of Long Term Capital Management , which had to be bailed out . Losses were a modest 50 Trillion . Yet they still persisted in a failed model , because the short-term gains were great and long-term losses were guaranteed by big institutions or governments and they still thought it was right .

The system has decoupled into two streams since WWII .
1.Institutional : military-industrial complex , where most blue-sky research now take place . But they do not publish , leading to a fracture of society .
2.The best of mediocre academics with a viable idea go private (eg Craig Venter , Black-Schole) . A leaching effect .

This has already happened in fields like cryptology . British civil servants developed the basis of RSH encryption about a decade before the commercial model .

Both of these streams follow a budget-approach for allocating resources .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Fuehrer Prinzip:
Originality decreases .

Now you see why there has been no paradigm shift since Godel .
The system has been shoving inconvenient items under the carpet .
The resultant paradigm shift will be more like a revolutionary explosion . Sociological elements will be involved .

Financial Crisis 4April 2009
Andre Willers
4 Apr 2009

"A trillion here , a trillion there . Pretty soon we'll be talking real money ."
Or any money at all .

Post-Monetarism .
Money's only purpose is to serve as a one-to-one counter for real wealth .
Real wealth is measured according to the criteria set out in
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Financial Crisis 31 Jan 2009"
Mainly
It is to satisfy the human needs , weighted according to the Maslow hierarchy .
1.Air to breathe
2.Water to drink
3.Food to eat
4.Clothes
5.Shelter
6.Weapons
7.Novelty

Deflation .
This happens when real wealth increases faster than the growth of the monetary system .

This has been of real concern just before the present crisis .
In fact , it is the present crisis .

The system hunts for stability by creating money in futures .
It creates money by discounting future earnings .
The Central Banks are not creating money fast enough to keep up with the accounting demand .

Literally billions of people are hauling themselves up by the their bootstraps . Creating enormous wealth . The number of dollars , euros , yuan , etc in circulation is not sufficient to reflect the wealth . But the governments concerned try to limit the creation of new money , under outdated theories .
The system promptly bubbles up in futures , which are inherently more unstable than a currency .

Historical examples :
There are many . I will mention two :

1.British Empire circa 1880
A gold based trading empire in an industrial revolution created wealth faster than the discovery of new gold , until the South African goldfields . This created an explosion of wealth .

2.The 1929 crash .
Post-WWI created new wealth , but the monetary system did not keep pace . A bubble in futures (stock exchange) followed . In the ensuing collapse , wealth-creation was decreased . War , in other words .
But the system enforced balance .

And for now ?
The fear is that inflation might follow the creation of trillions of dollars .
The real problem is that they are too modest .

The point is that the excesses of futures transactions reflect a real shortage of money .
The system needs and will need a continuous creation of money just to keep up with the demand in real-wealth creation .

Look at the scale . The world economy is about 100 trillion a year . Wealth creation is about 10% per year . This can be summed , even for the last 10 years this gives a demand for money of about 100 trillion dollars . The money creation systems cannot keep up .

Can you see why we are talking about post-monetarism ?
Any conceivable command-and-control mechanism cannot hold .
It will , and has , fractured .

An example :
See
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Negative pressure : an important update"
If this technology is patented through the Danish embassy in Second Life , future income streams are irrevocably fractured . Linden dollars will become one of the hardest currencies on the planet .

How does this affect you right now ?
If you have any exposure to hedge-funds or futures , get out now . Immediately .
As far as I can see , the funds have been given an extraordinarily wide leeway , but they still have been using short-selling to panic the sheep .
I estimate their exposure to be about 10 trillion on the positive side . This will be dumped into the Market as the new measures come into effect .

The day of the unbridled hedge-fund , like the cheap car , is over .

After that , roughly 20 trillion a year for 5 years will have to be created just to wipe out the back-log .

But in the meantime , wealth-creation will be proceeding at an exponential pace .

Money will become increasingly fractured and meaningless .
New ways of accounting will develop .
I draw your attention to Denise Schmandt-Besserat "How writing came about" (ISBN 13 978 0 292 77704 0 .
She shows conclusively that writing developed out of accounting practices over a period of 4 000 years .

Similarly , new accounting practices for fractured systems will need new descriptive terms .

And so it goes .

Tarot II

Tarot II
Andre Willers
10 May 2010

See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "The inside of Zero"
You need 26 dimensions to describe a non-rotating ArithI system .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "NewTools-Reserves" for the argument that any reserve should be 1/3 .

Tarot =26*3=78 . The minimum sufficient necessary . The alphabet .

Subsets:
With rotations you need minimum sufficient 2x26=52 .

The rotations at minimum necessary should be through 4 dimensions . 3 Space and one time at a minimum necessary sufficient . These are the ArithII dimensions , and are completely specified by the rotations .Notice that they are subsumed by the 26*3 dimensions above .

This gives 52+4=56 , the number of minor arcana .

We know we only need 78 . So the remainder must be 22 .

So we have
26+26 = 52 (min necessary suff through dim rotations for ArithI systems)
4= dimensions needed for rotation (see 4colour theorem)
78 = 26x3 The minimum necessary sufficient for any set of dimensions .
The remainder is 78 – (52+4) = 22 dimensions for infinite feedback . Quite remarkable .

Note that 52/78 = 0.66666 . The reserve (remainder 1/3) is then the indeterminate element .

The major Arcana .is then Major . Not what I expected . 1/3 of the data in the system is in the Major Arcana . Make of it what you will .

A bit further on , you will be a really good poker player .

Neanderthals

Neanderthals
Andre Willers
7 May 2010
The latest from the Neanderthal Genome project is that genetical mixing with humans did occur as late as 45 000 to 50 000 years before present. Humans and neanderthals could interbreed .And recently .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Death of the Neanderthal"
The interbreeding occurred outside of Africa , in Europe and middle Asia .
To be picked up on genetic evidence after such a remove , it had to be on a big scale .

What does this mean ?
Neanderthals were heavily cold-adapted . Big noses , furry , big torsos with relatively short arms and legs .
They also smelled differently (MHC complex)
They were also significantly smarter (bigger cranial size)
From the ripple effects , they were also severely sociopathic . Which is why they lost against the humans .

But the hybrids were a different story . We call them the Nordic types .Stunted neanderthals .

They did not lose . They simply got outbred .
As I said , their descendants were outstanding heavy cavalry .

My only surprise is that Anatolian Sheepdogs are not more prevalent in nordic countries . They really like the smell of neanderthals . Human dogs are inclined to attack neanderthal hybrids .

And here I thought I was a Mongol .

Synopsis:
Tarot is a finite representation of complexity to up Beth(4) level .

Discussion:
1.Can infinite manipulations be represented by finite rules?
Yes . Done all the time with the finite rules of differentiation and integration in mathematics.
2.Archetypes:
Postulate an infinity of delineated entities interacting . Two varieties of interactions can be found : Euler (ie infinitesimal with e as basis . Newtonian or Einsteinian systems)
or Fibonacci , (a finite change interaction . Also known as Quantum systems).
Both self-generate finite rules for infinite processes .
These finite rules are known as archetypes .
And there are a finite number of them . And we can enumerate them .
Why?
Also known as the Power Law . Infinite feedback systems of delineated entities self-combine to form hierarchical systems below Beth(4) levels .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "AI"
Quantum systems , by definition , can only be enumerated in qubits .
An Image to illustrate this :
Imagine a hologram of n dimensions sliced by a plane . The plane is a computer screen or your 2-dimensional mental screen .
Past Beth(4) , the mind is acting in it's native mode , which is quantum mode .
The n-tuple entendre is standard for information transfer .
Information bleed-through from quantum systems leads to a finite number of rules .
Sigh . I cannot make it simpler than this .
Why there are 40+16=56 minor cards I have discussed before . It is intimately tied to ArithI and prime numbers .
Why there are only 22 major arcana cards to handle the rest of the infinite feedback systems up to Beth(4) levels I will have to think about . At the moment , I simply do not know why there are so few . But there it is .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Betablockers and Trauma memory"
Tarot cards represent a finite (less than 100) images's and procedures of infinite processes below native quantum processing .
Happy hunting!

"It takes two to Tango" 20th Century song

Discussion :
We sneak up on it by examining unlikely combinations .
Like Substitution Chess , this develops a deeper insight into the board .

Given N nations , there are a possible N*(N-1)/2 possible conflicts .
The upper boundary of all possible number of combinations of alliances is 2^N
The present number of nations on Terra is about 200 . So we have a potential 19 900 conflicts .

The War Algorithm :
1.Choose any two nations at random (eg from an atlas)
2.Work out a scenario where these two would go to war .
3.Repeat.
4.That’s it .

Some historically unlikely conflicts .(Reason in brackets)
1.USA vs Granada (morale)
2.USA vs Vietnam (greed of US Military-Industrial complex)
3.Paraguay vs Argentina (pride)
4.UK vs Argentina (Falklands I) (election of Thatcher)
5.Cuba vs RSA (internal stability)

As you can see from these very few examples , we can learn more about the reasons for war by examining the forcing of war between low-probability combatants and looking at the factors .

Illustration :
Please create credible scenario's where there would be war between the nations in the list that follows:

1.Lesotho vs Switzerland .
2.Chad vs Peru.
3.Iceland vs Turkey
4.Kazakhstan vs New Zealand .
5.Nepal vs Chile
6.Japan vs Jamaica.
7.Samoa vs Greenland

I would have to think about these myself . But notice how it enhances your insight .
And there are 19 900-7 = 19 893 remaining . Have fun .

World wars:
N gets restricted to 3 : For , Against and Neutral . This has been the pattern in WWI and WWII .

Civil wars :
These arise , by definition , from failed states . The fracture lines are usually ethnic (eg Yugoslavia , Africa) . The center cannot hold , usually due to corruption . External forces like arms dealers stimulate conflict . But there are also scarce minerals .

RSA and Chrome :
Chrome is absolutely essential to low-weight turbines and chemical reactor vessels .
(ie tanks , fighters , explosives)
RSA and Zimbabwe are the largest available deposits (coming from the old Vredefoort impact) . There are smaller deposits in Kazakhstan and Sweden (Why Sweden could remain neutral in WWII . Hitler , quite correctly , blocked the production of Me262 jet fighters in 1940 . The severe shortage of chrome meant that one fighter was about the same as a ton of explosives . If he needed fighters like the Me262 , the war would have already been lost .)

The weakness of the central RSA government has encouraged adventurism in both China and the USA . They are encouraging the secession of the northern provinces where these deposits lie via surrogates like Zimbabwe and Venezuala . I presume that Cuba will be roped in eventually , as they have had a long history of interfering in African affairs (courtesy of Che Guavara)

In their scenarios , they have already written RSA off as a failed state , and would rather squabble like vultures with each other over the chrome deposits . The rest (platinum , manganese , diamonds , remains of gold) are not strategically necessary and will go to fund the civil war between the various provinces . Something like Somalia or Sudan .

But how failed is it?
Let us look at the numbers .
The three large private security firms have about 180 000 members , based on the old SADF forces .(Like Buffalo , 32 , etc) . The SAPS has about 200 000 members , of various effectiveness . The SANDF has about 80 000 members , of about zero effectiveness . The old Commando and police reservists are still on the books , but ,frankly , they were useless even in the Apartheid era . Poorly trained and even more poorly disciplined drunken militia . Licensed bullies .

The memes:
The main elements of the RSA government comprises the Zulus and Whites(Afrikaners) . Both are very aggressive .

An armed incursion will come to an abrupt end (Cf Jamieson)
What will happen eventually is a South African Empire , as the energies are channelled outward .And a Napoleon equivalent is waiting in the wings .

Plus la change.

BetaBlockers and Trauma memory .

Andre Willers
30 Apr 2010

This technology is safe and cannot be leveraged beyond Beth(3) levels . AW

Synopsis:
Trauma memory at synapse level can be edited .

Discussion:
How it works :
Specialized glial cells label synapse memories (arbitrary scale 1-10) on the difficulty of changing . This has major evolutionary advantages in preventing learned-helplessness lock-ups in the neural feedback networks .

But , a traumatic event (say scale 10) may lock in a memory unable to change .

Propranolol is a beta-blocker chemical that blocks the signal from the glial cell to the synapse .

The synapse can then be edited .
But synapse memories are holistic , while glial memories are specific . Thus a memory of a memory remains without the toxic inability to remove it's specificity .

Notice the similarity to lower-back pain (see http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Peripheral Neuropathy" )
This is used extensively in trauma therapy :
Quote:
"Twelve years ago, two men robbed the pet-food store where Coutu was manager, put a gun to his head and threatened to kill him. Coutu played dead after one of the criminals bashed his head with the weapon. For years, he had nightmares and flashbacks. He broke up with his girlfriend; he quit a job he loved as president of a bird club in Montreal. Usually upbeat, Coutu became depressed. "Inside, I was dying," he says.
On his first visit with Brunet, Coutu wrote down the details of his trauma. Once a week for six weeks after that, he received propranolol, then read the disturbing account. At first, it was agony. "I realized all these emotions I thought were gone weren't," he says. But the fifth time, Coutu noticed a distinct change. "I felt like smiling. All of a sudden, it wasn't me anymore." At his last session, doctors tested Coutu's physiological reactions—his heartbeat, his palm sweat, his facial muscles—to his script and to neutral stories, like a beach scene. His response was similar. "It feels like there's been water poured on the fire," he says. Brunet's early data are compelling: participants' symptoms dropped by 50 percent, and 70 to 80 percent no longer meet the full criteria for PTSD.
What's so fascinating about this research is how it plays on the geography of memory. We often think of memory as one entity wrapped neatly in a bow. But our remembrance of a single experience lands like confetti in the brain, scattered into different locations. The dry facts about what happened—I was walking home, a man assaulted me—appear to lodge in the hippocampus. But the emotional trauma of that same event—the anger at the man, the horror of the moment—seem to be housed in the amygdala. When the memory is recalled, both parts emerge together, like the sound and images in a movie, says Brunet. This is critical to the science of forgetting: researchers believe they may be able to target the fear part of the memory but leave the details of what happened intact. "People cherish their memories, even their bad memories," says Brunet. "They don't want them to be erased, they want to recall them with less pain." "
Other beta-blockers ?
I don’t know , but I suspect that they all have varying degrees of the same property .
Targeting the memories:
As Eben said , propranolol has been used as a general lowering of anxiety at the basic neural levels .
But I want to do better , and target the exact memories .
But the holistic structure of the brain makes this difficult . What we want is a self-focussing system . And we have one that has evolved for about 3000 years at least .
It is called Tarot cards . Archetypes that are provably minimum necessary sufficient for n inclusive singularities . But not for higher Beth(n>3) orders . Don't worry about it .
The Tarot Algorithm :
1. Take the betablocker (preferably propranolol)
Look through all the tarot cards .
2. Repeat 1 to 2 at least 5 times .
3. That’s it .
Other ways :
1. Exposure
The memory to be meaning-apoptosed is presented via an external feedback loop .
The problem is that memory elements not directly associated with the traumatic event will also be locked .This can lead to learned-helplessness very quickly .
2. Beth(n) choices .Not advised unless you know what you are doing .
3. Therapy (which is a combination of 1 and 2 above)
What I am trying to say , is that the best general therapy is the Tarot Algorithm . All the rest must involve individual , non-self-focussing mechanisms .
Ironically , a virtuality is not the optimum . (It does not have enough discontinuities to satisfy a human mind)
Instead of Tarot , a composite of Bosch , Giger , Escher ,et al can be used , but these are not necessarily as complete as the Tarot in a mathematical sense .
I would have expected that Virtual Systems to be the optimal . But they cannot search transfinities . Just looking through Tarot card pack is superior .
It does not matter what they mean , only that they are complete . The system will self-focus and assign values according to the individual .
I looked at iChing , NLP , Chritianity , Islam , etc .
But Tarot is the optimal system for general usage .
Now cut the cards .

Peripheral Neuropathy of Legs. A Cure.

Peripheral Neuropathy of Legs. A Cure.
Andre Willers
20 Apr 2010

My Birthday Present to fellow sufferers .

Synopsis:
A methodology for reducing chronic symptoms (95%) and repairing nerves .

Summary:
Data from my personal experience .
1.Use APS as for lower back pain once a day (8 min) . Unease relief 80%-85% .
2.Use capsaicum on upper thighs . Before sleep . Unease relief 10% . The need for this will decrease after about 5-7 usages of APS usage .
3. Keep blood-glucose concentration <=6.5
4. Do not eat high acrylamide foods
5.Take alpha-lipoic acid . 250 mg (1+2+1) per day initially .Taper .
Beware reflux . An amusing side effect . Rejection reflexes of crap food are repaired .
Not beloved by the fast-food industry .
(Pregnant women should not take this in large doses. )

Discussion :
The pathology is caused by damage to the nerves , (especially the long leg-nerves) by high glucose concentrations in DiabetesII and Acrylamide from diet .

How it works:
The pain-pulses of damaged nerve A arrive at the synapses in the lower back (spine) . Here , certain specialized glial cells count the frequency and duration . To prevent the gate-effect of pain impulses to mask further pain signals of further tissue damage from other nerves , these cells take on the function of automatically pulsing pain signals as if from nerve A , while inhibiting the damaged nerve A's signal .

This enables other damage signals to come through , preventing further damage .
This has obvious evolutionary advantages in preventing cascading damages .

The problem is that , even if damage to nerve A has been repaired , the off-switch of this mechanism may not work . Or the damage to nerve A might remain .

See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Peripheral Neuropathy" et al .
Chronic neuropathy results from the inability to activate the "Off" switch in microglial and astrocyte bodies in the dorsal root ganglion .
See Scientific American Nov 2009 p 33 .

A further teensy problem is that , even if there was a temporary repair , if the chronic condition (like too high glucose or acrylamide concentrations) the microglial and astrocyte bodies get re-triggered . And they would be sensitized as well .


The Methodology :
1.Drastically reduce the pain impulses from the microglial and astrocyte bodies in the dorsal root ganglion . For this we use the APS technology , with electrodes configured for "Back Pain" .
See www.apstherapy.com
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "ATP as Neurotransmitter"

I originally bought this machine in 2001 for Neuropathy leg pains , but put the electrodes on the legs . This had little or no effect . Only after reading the article :
See Scientific American Nov 2009 p 33 did I realize that the chronic pain is generated in the lower back .
Putting the electrodes on the sides of the lower hip as recommended for lower back pain led to a reduction of that chronic burning unease sensation of 80-85 percent.
After about 4-7 days .

Some of the remainder of unease could be ameliorated by using gate-theory : capsaicum . Just smear it on the thighs . This generates pain signals that compete at the lowest spine ganglia , but unfortunately the system habituates easily . .

This brings us to about 95% of unease .

At least I could sleep without analgesics .

But there are still twinges .

The damage to the nerves still exist . The neuropathic pain will quickly re-establish itself . We are just managing the condition , not curing it .

The Cure :
Repair the nerves , while keeping the damaging agents under control .
The damaging agents are too high concentrations of glucose and acrylamide .
Keep them under control via diet or insulin .

The repair is enhanced by alpha-lipoic acid (evening primrose oil).
Take supplements .

Desensitizing the system :
A really permanent , buffered system . I do not have that .
Working ,working ….

A promising lead is propranolol . Reprogramming memories at synapse level (ie the microglial and astrocyte bodies in the dorsal root ganglion .)
Google "propranolol PTSD"

Happy Birthday !

Puberty.

Puberty.
Andre Willers
8 Apr 2010

For Carl .
I can only tell you where we have been.

Synopsis:
Human puberty is triggered by neuronal growth and a resistance to apoptosis .

Discussion :

Neuronal survivors of the apoptosis experience (age 1-5) have an evolutionary reluctance to apoptosis . The surviving neurons have a tendency to avoid apoptosis by generating signals internally .
(The apoptosis mechanism works by zapping any neuronal networks not used . Evolution in action .)

At about human age 12 , body mass and timers lead to an explosion of neurons and neuronal connectivity . Depending on the society , this is soaked up by social complexity and science .

This is usually insufficient , so sex is born (puberty-usually 2-3 years after start of neuronal growth spurt) .

Note that the unused neuronal complexity triggers puberty , not the inverse .
The smarter you are , the later puberty in an information rich environment .

Then sex and fashion . This can soak up an infinity (at least aleph(0)) of complexity .
Why it is , well , fashionable .

Surplus neuronal connectivity self-survives by generating mirror-networks . Hence the multiple variations of reality typical of human adolescence .

This translates as a reality-disconnect . Most humans cannot understand different realities as seen by an adolescent .

Most adolescents are smarter than adults , in purely neurological terms .

Your mind has grown connections that don't want to die . So they perpetuate themselves by continuing to generate signals .

That about sums up the human experience .

An amusing insight : Adolescents are loaded with maximal loads exactly at this time when their neuronal growth is at a maximum . High school . This is to program the system at maximum susceptible stage . As new neuronal networks are being formed , and old ones being apoptosed .

And you thought it was complicated .

This is inclined to make me mad .

No apoptosis without consent !

African Temples.

African Temples.
Andre Willers
5 Apr 2010

I'm not allowed any more to tell you where you are going .
But I can tell you where you have been .

The Ruins:
Stretching for 3000 km across Southern Africa.
These are not ruins that can simply be wished away . They stretch on kilometer by kilometer . The estimate for one city is 651 billion tonnes of stone . Not a trivial exercise .
See "Temples" by Tellinger and Heine ISBN13: 978-1-920153-08-3

The aerial photographs are incontestable . It is real .

The Boing
This I heard myself . A stone being whacked and giving forth a sweet , monotone frequency that decreases in intensity but not frequency .
Another incontestable . Ding-an-sich.

Insect exoskelotens:
These are sensitive to external sound-harmonics . Internal spikes where muscles , nerves and sinews attach will heat up drastically . Crop-eating insects were sensitive to certain frequencies .

Extrapolation :

Some unsung genius noticed , while whacking one river stone against another , that the thingie gave out a sound and certain insects fled the area .

They then amplified the effect with very circular stonewalls , with no mortar .
Somebody walked around the inner circle whacking the stones , setting up a standing wave .
It is important to notice that the wall was not mortared . The gaps allowed the sound waves to escape . About 1/3 of the sound waves was broadcast over the landscape . These chased away the insects .
The walls were 1/3 porous to sound .

Some frequencies would considerably enhance nitrogen fixation .
Like fertilizer .

You ended up with circular stone sound generators as both insecticides and fertilizers

From the evidence , it was quite effective . Circular sound structures were surrounded by irregular stone fences , mostly to keep herbivores out .

Sound waves irradiated surrounding fields
This was not agriculture . It was more akin to the farming in pre-Spanish California .
They did not plough or plant , but productivity in terms of grasses was very high .Grazing animals were used to harvest . The energy relations are very simple given a low insect population .
The population density was very high , About the same as present .

They ended up in a typical Malthusian fix .
There is no evidence of war ,.
The rainfall decreased (see http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Magadigadi sea"
Overpopulated areas died down (as happened in the Middle East circa1000 AD)

Thousands and thousands of kilometers of dwellings were gradually abandoned .
I know that humans prefer a catastrophic end , but a whimper is usually the end of stupidity .

They overpopulated , the rainfall decreased , the food decreased , and the remaining population simply went back to subsistence farming , abandoning civilization .

So much for that .

The Beauty of the Genetic Code : An Apology .

An Apology .
Andre Willers.
24 Mar 2010

Synopsis:
I apologise unreservedly for the accellarated changes I have unleashed .
My only excuses are beauty , ignorance and stupidity .

Discussion :
1.Beauty :
The expression from Appendix B says it all . It combines 3 Billion years of evolution with Eulers Constant and quantized signals .
General Genetic Formulation : (from Appendix B)
nAminoAcids + nStops + nStarts = 1/3 * ( (nDNA-bases) ^ (nBasesPerCodon) )
where the prefix n denotes "number of"
Beautiful !
( I was on an endorphin high for 3 days , and still get a glow when I contemplate it.)

2.Ignorance .
This beauty blinded me to my ignorance of the state of the art in work like Jason Chin's at Cambridge . See Appendix A

3.Stupidity :
I should have realized that meta-controls in the genetic code (phene-systems) already made some provision for multiple bases .

The Big Mistake :
Publishing the General Genetic Formulation .
General Genetic Formulation :
nAminoAcids + nStops + nStarts = 1/3 * ( (nDNA-bases) ^ (nBasesPerCodon) )
where the prefix n denotes "number of"
Beautiful !

2/3 of my previous posts were deliberately designed to be slightly ahead of the wave-front of human knowledge , with about 1/3 designed for post-human AI's .
None of them had immediately verifiable feedbacks . The idea was that I would be safely dead when they found out what I actually said , except for some individuals who would mine the insights and take them for their own .

This General Statement is an algorithm to create Stable Neo-Genes . Not just genetic engineering . But Stable Genetic Engineering . Immediately verifiable in expressed genomes .

Oh Well .

I blew it .

What will happen :
See a system like ."Adam and Eve" at Aberystwyth University , Scotland . Dr Amanda Clare . Automated hypothesis formulation and testing . www.computescotland.com/2260.php

Using the General Formulation Algorithm , this system can zero in on stable expressions of any desired genomic code within a week or two . Literally .

Even Lab-on-a-chip can do it within a few months .

This is happening as we speak .

When I realized my mistake (16/3/2010) , I immediately tried to remove the post . Unfortunately , it had already been copied to some genetic engineering websites .
The cat was well and truly out of the bag .

But I still thought that ducking my head under the sand by cutting off all communication would help . Please forgive me for this .

Unfortunately , not only humans would examine my previous posts , but also enhanced humans.

From Appendix A :
See "Pandora bacteria acts as one organism" , NewScientist 27 Feb 2010 , p11.
Electron-conducting protein nanowires link oxygen-poor sub-mud sulfur eating bacteria on the seafloor in an interactive network suggestive of a neural net .

The manufacture of such a protein nanowire would almost certainly require 4-Base Codon cell machinery . Hence the the existence of parallel meta-controls .

These extra-connections can easily be inserted into existing human brains using the above systems , especially about 2-3 years before puberty or in babies .

The capabilities of these systems are equal or greater than my own at present . I cannot predict what will happen , except that it will be very interesting in the Chinese sense .

See posts on AI systems.

Singularity :
I had hoped for a fairly smooth ascent into the singularity , but this is now a pipe dream . There will be fast lurch into human and AI capability , as there is now an arms-race in this type of genome design .
I had hoped to avoid this till a later , more mature stage .

Oh well .
It was the beauty , your honor . The beauty .

Hi ,

See ""Rewriting life in four-letter words" , NewScientist 20 Feb 2010 p14.
I just read it (16 Mar 2010) , as I get New Scientist in a haphazard fashion via the library .

See para 2 of original post below
"2.Make 4-Base Codon Cell-Machinery .
A real remake . Not within human capability at the moment ."

I was wrong .
It has already been done by Jason Chin and colleagues at the University of Cambridge . They successfully redesigned some ribosomes and transfer RNA(tRNA) to manufacture a novel amino acid (a novo-calmodulin protein) , expressed via E.Coli .

Important note:
This worked so easily because it worked parallel to the three-Base expression without noticeable inerference .
This hints that the meta-controls (see Phene-system posts) already has provisions for 4-Base cell-machinery .

Hints:
1.See "Pandora bacteria acts as one organism" , NewScientist 27 Feb 2010 , p11.
Electron-conducting protein nanowires link oxygen-poor sub-mud sulfur eating bacteria on the seafloor in an interactive network suggestive of a neural net .

The manufacture of such a protein nanowire would almost certainly require 4-Base Codon cell machinery . Hence the the existence of parallel meta-controls .

Room-temperature organic superconductors seem to be a distinct possibility .

2.Many old-age and degenerative diseases seems remiscent of 4-Base Codon cell machinery activating over time .

But what do I know .

It is your poblem now .
I hope your molecular shamans are better than your climatologist shamans .

Hugga-Bugga!

Subject: The Beauty of the Genetic Code .
The Beauty of the Genetic Code .
Andre Willers
22 Feb 2010

Synopsis:
The present TerraIII genetic code is elegantly optimized to give the most robustness possible per unit of information .

Discussion :
You have to be familiar with the concepts in:
1. http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "NewTools:Reserves" and Beth(n) orders of Randomness .
2.NewScientist of 23 Jan 2010 p34 "Another kind of evolution"

Brief recap of Reserves argument :
We take any identifiable entity , slice and dice it with an order of randomness like that of a coin (ie Beth(0) ) . We then calculate a minimum reserve (which is equivalent to the least errors of all possible Beth(0) paths per benefit . )
This works out at 1/3 on the average over Aleph(0) infinities .

The Beauty of the Genetic Code :
Four Base pairs (A,U,C,G) in triplet codons give a possible 4*4*4 = 64 codons .
But together , they code only for 20 amino acids , plus a Stop and a Semi-Start .

This gives
20/64 = 31.22% for 20 amino acids
21/64 = 32.81% for 20 amino acids + Stop
21.3333…/64 = 33.3333… for 20 amino acids + Stop + Semi-Start
22/64 = 34.375 %

Stop = (UGG) , (UGA) , (UAG) ,
Start = (AUG) , but this also codes for methionine . Hence the decimal notation . The system cannot come closer to 1/3 because of quantal considerations . Try it and see .
This also is the portal for the Epigenetic System ( note use of methiolization) .

Beautiful !!

Consider the ways of Gaia .

Linear and Sideways evolution .
Linear :
The standard , gene and chromosome based inheritance
Equivalent to Beth(1+x) in our notation .
1>= x >=0

Sideways :
Genetic material exchanged without going through all that genotype-phenotype procedures .
Equivalent to Beth(1-x) in our notation .
1>= x >=0

Note that the system could not possibly get as close to the optimum reserve without this stage .

Designer:
The Breeder , genetic engineer .
Equivalent to Beth(2+x) in our notation . Humans or proto-humans .
Infinity>= x >=0

This gives a full spectrum of Beth capabilities .
(Negative Beth is outside the scope of this discussion)

Singularities
You will notice that the system becomes chaotically unstable as x->0 from any direction . At that point , the system will exhibit symptoms of great stress and bifurcation . Once over the hump , it steadies either in an evolutionary manner (in
Probability = 1 - ( Beth(n+1)/Beth(n) ) ^0.5 . Admittedly a rough estimate .)

Or in a devolutionary manner , evolutionary manner here described as degrees of complexity .

Stable Gene Engineering :
1.Keep the same Triple-Base Codon Cell-Machinery .
The easiest . Existing cells can be used . Increase the number of bases to 5 .
Then we can optimally reliable make 1/3*5^3 = 40 amino acids + stop + semistart .
Different kinds of Stop and Start would be advisable .
So , maybe 18 new amino acids + 2 different types of Stop + SemiStarts

This would not even be hard .
Well within present technological capability .
(Wanna make an animal with a Kevlar skin ? Well , you can using this method .)

The system would even be self-assembling under the right condition . The main thing is the optimal stability .

This is already evolving as we speak . There a fifth base occasionally involved . So there is a fruitful interaction point .

2.Make 4-Base Codon Cell-Machinery .
A real remake . Not within human capability at the moment .

3.General :
nAminoAcids + nStops + nStarts = 1/3 * ( (nDNA-bases) ^ (nBasesPerCodon) )
where the prefix n denotes "number of"

A further stability would be introduced if nStarts ~ 1/3 * nStops in a fractal fashion .
This because life-forms evolve in a pedal-to-the-metal fashion . The problems are the brakes .

There is a relationship between the Beth level and the nBasesPerCodon . The minimum number sufficient for Beth(2+) is nBasesPerCodon=3 .
Else there is insufficient complexity .

Now go out there and evolve !

Tornadoes and V1 .

Tornadoes and V1 .
Andre Willers
16 Mar 2010

Synopsis:
A tornado is a vertical pulse jet , like the WWII V1

Discussion :
This is a freebie .
Ever wonder why the V1 motor was mounted on those ridiculous struts?
Because the jet engine generated an enormous torque around the motor . This could only be offset by mounting it off the airfoil controls . See original V1 test-flight data .

But why ?
Examine the V1 design : a valve regulating air intake and chamber explosions , combined with a venturi exhaust .
The valve has to be partly open during most of the intake . This introduces a sideways component to the momentum of the molecules . (a swirl) .
Partly due to gravitational effects and earth-rotational effects , which get amplified .

The added energy of the ignition of the fuel adds to the momentum in all directions . The swirl gets amplified .
The most energetic molecules get to the walls of the reaction chamber first and imparts a torque in abreaction to the bounce . This gets squeezed down in the venture nozzle .

The result is that any pulse-jet engine has a really big torque . A bit counter-intuitive .

Tornado's
The valves and fuel of tornado's are the same : the phase change of water vapour into liquid and water liquid into ice , each releasing a lot of energy , equivalent to the fuel pulses of the V1 . The physical obstruction of water droplets and ice particles act as valves .

The vertical has lots of valves and energy pulses .

The torque translates into the well-known tornado vortex once the contraption gets going .

The exhaust has to go somewhere . It falls down the trailing side of the storm , in pulses . Also called pulsing rear flank downdraft .
See NewScientist 27 Feb 2010 " Storm Chaser" , p40 .

Interventions:
There is not an easy intervention on the energy front , but the system is extraordinarily sensitive on the valve front . Anything making bigger raindrops or bigger haildrops will scale down the tornado effect in a non-linear way .

Hence the use of supersonic shockwaves by Mach 1+ aircraft to sculpt tornado's and hurricanes .

Though barrage of supersonic artillery projectiles fired with a trajectory in the same direction of rotation outside the storm could be used to steer it .

A freebie from Big Windy .

2.Make 4-Base Codon Cell-Machinery .
A real remake . Not within human capability at the moment .

3.General :
nAminoAcids + nStops + nStarts = 1/3 * ( (nDNA-bases) ^ (nBasesPerCodon) )
where the prefix n denotes "number of"

A further stability would be introduced if nStarts ~ 1/3 * nStops in a fractal fashion .
This because life-forms evolve in a pedal-to-the-metal fashion . The problems are the brakes .

There is a relationship between the Beth level and the nBasesPerCodon . The minimum number sufficient for Beth(2+) is nBasesPerCodon=3 .
Else there is insufficient complexity .

Now go out there and evolve !

Mucal Acoustics.

Mucal Acoustics
Andre Willers
3 Mar 2010

Synopsis:
The Lung Flute .
A really elegant solution to Obstructive Pulmonary phlegm .
A special flute vibrating at 16 Hz dissolves phlegm to be removed by cilia or easy coughing .
Useful for flu , colds , emphysema or chronic bronchitis .

Discussion
See
www.medicalacoustics.com
PopularScience Dec 2009 p32 "The pied piper of mucus" by the inventor Sandy Hawkins .

Cost US$40 .
In use in Japan , Europe , Canada . US FDA approval pending (or already done)
Time needed : time for 20 puffs of air.

Any body who has seen any family member die of emphysema will want one . (Emphysema has inheritable components) .

But it will work just as well for ordinary colds and flu's , instead of expectorants , and cost less . Hypertension patients note .

Expansion :
The principle can be easily expanded into a bio-feedback device that diagnosis and treats at the same time by blowing into the Flute .
Any level of Lab-on-a-chip and electronic diagnostics can be loaded as per price .

Smokers .
Slightly varying resonant frequencies should be able to break up phlegm caused by smoking or pollutant particles (eg diesel) .

Pan and his pipes are usually assiociated with drinking . It seems somehow fitting that smoking should be included .
Really large market .

In heavily polluted areas , it would be more profitable to play the Lung Flute and hydrate heavily than wear ineffective masks .

Sigh .
A sign of the times , when the Lung Flute makes it into the top twenty .

Hats off to Sandy Hawkins .
A really , really elegant solution .


I wish I had thought of it .

Coming Earthquakes.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes II
Andre Willers
27 Feb 2010

Synopsis :
Cities at risk from large Earthquakes (7+ on Richter scale ) in near future (+-5 years)
In order of risk :
Guadalajara (Mexico ) , Juneau (Alaska) , Hawaian Islands , Brasilia (Brazil) , Sao Paulo (Brazil) , Tsunamis in South –Atlantic basin from Mouth of Amazon or South Orkney Islands .

Discussion :
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Earthquakes and Volcanoes"

Basic planetary orbital physics suggests magma spirals from pole-to-pole at 30 degree longitude intervals .
This is very approximate and needs much more research .

Data:
Sumatra : Richter 9 , 105 degrees East Longitude , 2004
Haiti : Richter 7 , 75 degrees West Longitude , 2010
Chile : Richter 8.8 , 75 degrees West Longitude , 2010

Notice that Haiti and Chile earthquakes are on nearly the same longitude . Hence the short time gap .

The threat seems to move Eastwards , but this is not certain .
Corkscrew configuration also means longitude of epicenter will probably drift eastward with increasing latitude .

Expectations :
To the West of Chile or Haiti (75 degrees West.)
1. 75+30 = 105 degrees West. Guadaljara (Mexico )
2. 75+2*30= 135 degrees West. Juneau (Alaska)
3. 75 + 3*30 = 165 degrees West . Hawaian Islands

To the east of Chile or Haiti (75 degrees West.)
4. 75-30 = 45 degrees West. Brasilia (Brazil)
5. 75-30 = 45 degrees West. Sao Paulo (Brazil)
6. 75-30 = 45 degrees West.South Orkney Islands . Tsunami threat to South Atlantic coasts .
7. 75-30 = 45 degrees mouth of the Amazon (Brazil) .
Tsunami threat to Amazon , Orinoco and Congo Rivers , as well as Caribbean , West African , Northern American and Western European shores .

The Misses :
Mercifully , Missouri , LA and Cape Verde should not be too severely affected .


South Africa.
From the 2004 experience , we should expect 1.5 – 2 meter tsunamis at Cape Town from Richter 9 events on 45 degrees West Longitude. . It is doubtful whether local faults will be activated .

Antarctica :
Large tsunamis emanating from the South Orkney Islands , combined with the weakening of the floating ice-pack due to global warming , could have a profound effect on the behaviour of Antarctic glaciers . The sudden fracturing of the ice-packs could remove resistance to glacier-flow . This could well cause ice-surges , causing large tsunamis (10-50 meters) in the South Atlantic Basin . All coastal communities would be wiped out .

Did the earth just move for you , or is it just that surf's up ?

AntiGravity .

AntiGravity .
Andre Willers
26 Feb 2010

Synopsis:
A simple spin antigravity is adduced.

Discussion :
See http://arxiv.org/abs/1001-0785
Erik Verlinde has shown that one theory of Gravity involves information in holographic shells around the center of gravity .

The Argument:

1.We can shine a light in plane around a mass . This should "push" away holographs of other particles , leading to the perception of reduced gravity . This is very small (if anybody has ever bothered to measure it)
2.We can spin the light , leading to a doubling of the effect .
3..We can put many lights on the rim of a wheel shining outwards , and rotating .
This will give a half-dome of reduced gravity .
4.We can make the freq of light shined of the order Beth(1) . This means it will not be absorbed by any material , and all the energy of the light goes into reducing the gravity .
5.But how to produce Beth(1) radiation ?
This is equivalent to a disequilibrium in the Beth(0) system . We can approximate it with at least five randomly(Beth(0) ) varying freq , combined .. At least some will be Beth(1) . In other words in disequilibrium . )
There are aleph(0) disequilibrium points .
As a first approximation , we can say that 1/5 energy efficiency is true .
This is true , but the proof is rather difficult . See previous posts , or 3Dim for the easy bits. Their thrust against surrounding space-time structures will be unbalanced .
6. This will actually be an inertialess drive , not just antigravity .
Oh Well .

7.Lasers :
They make the process more efficient , by making it crisper .
But you will still have to pump in at least 5 times the energy to get anywhere .

8. To make an AntiGravity Device .
Put at least 5 laser lights of differing freq on the outward rim of a wheel perpendicular to a gravity field .
Fire them up and spin them .

9.Will more laser lights make the algorithm more efficient?
I do not know, and I have doubts that it can be known in a general sense . It will depend on particular instances of geometry .

I will leave the energy calculations to you .

Lightly yours

Click and Time

Click and Time
Andre Willers
22 Feb 2010

"Time is the Simplest Thing" Clifford Simak
"So much to do , so little time." Cecil Rhodes
"Ask me anything except time ." Napoleon Bonaparte

Synopsis :
What separates the Tick from the Tock is an interval 13 to 30 milliseconds long .

Discussion :
See NewScientist 24 Oct 2009 p32 " The time machine inside your head"
See also previous posts on timing and assembling of sensoriums.

The significance:
The brain processes experiences in bundles about 13 to 30 milliseconds long .
If a datum is in bundle(1) , it is processed as being before data in bundle(2) .
The sensorium smooths it out so the data seems continuous .

Why the spread ?
Because the brains perception of time can speed up or slow down .

Easiest explained by a technique on how to do it .
John Weardon , an experimental psychologist at Keele University in UK , simply entrained subjects by making them listen to 10 seconds of fast clicks at 5 per second .
This resulted in an improvement of performance in tasks involving the CNS of between 10-20 percent . Very significant in competitive situations .(See "Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology" )
White noise had no similar effect .

What is going on ?
Even such a short entrainment squeezes the brain's handling of data into 1000/5=200 milliseconds brackets . Smaller than normal . The individual perceives time to be passing slower than normal , so other mental processes can take place .
The smallest boundary seems to 13 milliseconds , but boundaries up to 30 millisecs seem innate .
But this has to trained . The natural beat seems to be heartbeat . Once a second . The human system seems to hate expending more energy in time-binding than necessary . This leads us to suspect that 1/3 of 1000 millisecs =333 millisecs is a natural upper boundary for the necessary housekeeping tasks .
This is an awfully long time compared the minimum required .

Everybody has experienced this .
In a crisis , you can think faster .
Actually , your CNS is just processing time-bundles in smaller quanta .
Like a movie running in slower motion by snap-shotting at smaller intervals .

And , you can do it at will . But there is a price to pay in terms of neuro-transmitter fatigue .

Click .
Can one click the tongue at 5 times a second ?
Yes . The reflex speed of humans is roughly 1/10 of a second . Plenty of room .


"RRRRR" sound .
This is a very fast fibrillation (muted click) of the tongue . The slowest an individual "R" seems to be about 1 per second (I timed it) . 5 per second can be done in bursts .
So , 10 bursts of "RRRRR" should improve your sports performance in tennis ,hockey , golf etc by about 10-20 percent .

Schizophrenics :
A good portion (at least 1/3) of the brains various systems are devoted simply to keep the sensorium reasonably on track . If data get slotted into the wrong time-frames , it appears to the individual as if external forces control reality , or that he is powerless .

This has actually been duplicated by experiments with video games . A 200 millisec delay was set into a flight game . The brain learned to compensate . When the delay was removed , the brain perceived that the plane was being moved without perception of intent-to-move by the player . A typical schizophrenic experience . (Psychological Science ,vol 12,p532) .

Actual Reflex Speed :
I doubt if a knee-jerk type of reaction speed will be faster . But any signal that has to be processed or can be influenced by the CNS will be slowed down by the timing mechanism . And can be speeded up relative to competitors .

How fast are they really ?
There is no formal training in shortening the quantal data handling capability . There is a lot of anecdotal evidence in the unarmed combat sphere , after decades of training

But we can do it in 10 seconds . Literally .
Ten bursts of "RRRRR" sounds should reprogram your tiny little brain to process data at about 10-20 percent faster than your opponent who doesn't .

It is amusing to note that ethnic groups that have lots of rolling RRRRR's in their language (like the Russians and the French) fare better in sports like tennis.

Please note various war cries like the New Zealand "Haka" . It actually enhances performance significantly .

The inverse .
We should be able to stretch the personal time . This would definitely have an impact on sports like long-distance running . Hampering of running process (a-la-Noakes) would be lessened .

If you can't roar, purr .

Andre.

The Beauty of the Genetic Code .

The Beauty of the Genetic Code .
Andre Willers
22 Feb 2010

Synopsis:
The present TerraIII genetic code is elegantly optimized to give the most robustness possible per unit of information .

Discussion :
You have to be familiar with the concepts in:
1. http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "NewTools:Reserves" and Beth(n) orders of Randomness .
2.NewScientist of 23 Jan 2010 p34 "Another kind of evolution"

Brief recap of Reserves argument :
We take any identifiable entity , slice and dice it with an order of randomness like that of a coin (ie Beth(0) ) . We then calculate a minimum reserve (which is equivalent to the least errors of all possible Beth(0) paths per benefit . )
This works out at 1/3 on the average over Aleph(0) infinities .

The Beauty of the Genetic Code :
Four Base pairs (A,U,C,G) in triplet codons give a possible 4*4*4 = 64 codons .
But together , they code only for 20 amino acids , plus a Stop and a Semi-Start .

This gives
20/64 = 31.22% for 20 amino acids
21/64 = 32.81% for 20 amino acids + Stop
21.3333…/64 = 33.3333… for 20 amino acids + Stop + Semi-Start
22/64 = 34.375 %

Stop = (UGG) , (UGA) , (UAG) ,
Start = (AUG) , but this also codes for methionine . Hence the decimal notation . The system cannot come closer to 1/3 because of quantal considerations . Try it and see .
This also is the portal for the Epigenetic System ( note use of methiolization) .

Beautiful !!

Consider the ways of Gaia .

Linear and Sideways evolution .
Linear :
The standard , gene and chromosome based inheritance
Equivalent to Beth(1+x) in our notation .
1>= x >=0

Sideways :
Genetic material exchanged without going through all that genotype-phenotype procedures .
Equivalent to Beth(1-x) in our notation .
1>= x >=0

Note that the system could not possibly get as close to the optimum reserve without this stage .

Designer:
The Breeder , genetic engineer .
Equivalent to Beth(2+x) in our notation . Humans or proto-humans .
Infinity>= x >=0

This gives a full spectrum of Beth capabilities .
(Negative Beth is outside the scope of this discussion)

Singularities
You will notice that the system becomes chaotically unstable as x->0 from any direction . At that point , the system will exhibit symptoms of great stress and bifurcation . Once over the hump , it steadies either in an evolutionary manner (in
Probability = 1 - ( Beth(n+1)/Beth(n) ) ^0.5 . Admittedly a rough estimate .)

Or in a devolutionary manner , evolutionary manner here described as degrees of complexity .

Stable Gene Engineering :
1.Keep the same Triple-Base Codon Cell-Machinery .
The easiest . Existing cells can be used . Increase the number of bases to 5 .
Then we can optimally reliable make 1/3*5^3 = 40 amino acids + stop + semistart .
Different kinds of Stop and Start would be advisable .
So , maybe 18 new amino acids + 2 different types of Stop + SemiStarts

This would not even be hard .
Well within present technological capability .
(Wanna make an animal with a Kevlar skin ? Well , you can using this method .)

The system would even be self-assembling under the right condition . The main thing is the optimal stability .

This is already evolving as we speak . There a fifth base occasionally involved . So there is a fruitful interaction point .

2.Make 4-Base Codon Cell-Machinery .
A real remake . Not within human capability at the moment .

3.General :
nAminoAcids + nStops + nStarts = 1/3 * ( (nDNA-bases) ^ (nBasesPerCodon) )
where the prefix n denotes "number of"

A further stability would be introduced if nStarts ~ 1/3 * nStops in a fractal fashion .
This because life-forms evolve in a pedal-to-the-metal fashion . The problems are the brakes .

There is a relationship between the Beth level and the nBasesPerCodon . The minimum number sufficient for Beth(2+) is nBasesPerCodon=3 .
Else there is insufficient complexity .

Now go out there and evolve !

DiabetesII - Glucose dialogue .

DiabetesII - Glucose dialogue .
Andre Willers
18 Feb 2010

Consult your physician .
The author is not liable under any circumstances .
By reading further , you accept these conditions .

Synopsis :
A dialogue model using a variation of glucose concentrations to entrain metabolic energy functions is adduced .

Discussion :
See:
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Whatever happened to nomads?" , "New Tools-Reserves" , "Phene System" , et al .

Argument:
1.The phene systems in the cell-walls are meta-controls on the concentrations and changes in concentrations of glucose molecules and insulin molecules .
They sit there and count . They also control the access the insulin molecule has to the cell-wall portals to allow glucose molecules into the cell .
There is a lot of them , and they consult (via viruses , as discussed) . This is the equivalent of a committee .

2.The Ratchet :

There are a series of optimal energy reserves , expressed as concentrations of glucose
This is caused by the committee system in the phene structures .

See Anneure A
The relative values can be expressed by
y= (1/3)^n , where n is the optimization level . These form a series of ridges in the probability space . The system optimizes around these ridges . (They can also be expressed as attractors)

If the glucose-insulin system wanders too far from a Ridge(n) , and if the glucose is higher , the system will ratchet up to Ridge(n+1) . Insulin resistance develops .
The body cannot ratchet down without very specific stand-down instructions .
This is an evolutionary mechanism .
Hence the development of diabetesII in the elderly .

3.How to Ratchet down .
We use the optimal ridge for each optimal reserve .
The phene system sits and sums over time and space .
The time summation is the most important (ie how much and how fast you eat ) .

The most fruitful point of attack seems to be on the 4th order :
(1/3)^4 = 0.0123456790…
As discussed , about 5 points are fairly ok .
The above expression then means
1/100 + 2/1000 + 3/10000 + 4/100000 + 5/10000000
We convert this ratio into ratio's of concentrations of glucose .

1+2+3+4+5 =15 units

And we vary the volume of the concentrate to get intake .
Remember , we can use any numeric base . It is the ratio of concentrations that triggers the phene response .

Hence the previous recommendation , but do not use sugar . Glucose is much better , as the change in blood-concentration of glucose is blurred by the low GI of fructose in sugar .

Time gap :
See research on neural perception (NewScientist 24 Oct 2009 p32 "The Time Machine inside your head") , as well as previous posts , especially on "Click" .

There is an optimal period for neural systems to learn (at least 30 millisecs ) between changes . Ie between sips . But not more than 1/10 th of a second for a normal person for optimal effect .

Schizoprenics should not use this method without qualified medical supervision .
Or at least 2 seconds between each sip . Or the sip will take them .

DiabetesII
Dissolve 15 gm (3 tsp of glucose) into 150 (half-cup) of water .
Sip first 50 ml (3 tbs + 1tsp ) ,
then 40 ml(2 tbs +2 tsp)
then 30 ml(2 tbs +0 tsp)
then 20ml(1 tbs +1 tsp)
then 10 ml (2 tsp)

This will get the attention of the system .

But what will it do ?

It should initiate stand-down sequences , making the cell-walls more receptive to insulin molecule throughput .
But more experimentation is needed .

Diabetics should not use this method without qualified medical supervision .
The effect can be very severe , especially on those on insulin or insulin enhancing medication .
Sweetly yours
Andre.

Electromagnetic-wave Black Holes : a critical new technology .

Electromagnetic-wave Black Holes : a critical new technology .
Andre Willers
15 Feb 2010

Synopsis :
Actual microwave EM blackholes have been created , using metamaterials . These metamaterials can be easily and cheaply replicated using 3D printers .
This enables cheap Maxwell's Demons .

Discussion:
Sources:
Newscientist 24 Oct 2009 p15 "Table-top black holes made on Earth"
Applied Physics Letters vol95 , pp041106 by Narimanov and Kildishev.
http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.2159v1 by Tie and Qiang of the Southeastern University , Nanjing . They built the actual device .

The Device:
Call it a Naktiq device after the inventors .
A metamaterial is manufactured that fairly smoothly increases the electric-permittivity from the outer skin to the core of a cylinder . This bends the electrical component of the Electro-magnetic Wave to spiral into the core .
This material is of a fine structure , hence very amenable to 3D printing .
Already done for microwaves , which are fairly long wave-length and where a fairly coarse physical structure is sufficient .

Maxwell's Daemons :
Originally postulated as a method of separating high-temperature molecules from lower temperature molecules .

Passing an ionized particle stream through a matrix of these Naktiq Devices will separate high-energy and low-energy EM waves precisely according to the design of the metamaterial .

Can useful Work be done ?
Yes . As long as there is a large heat-pool as external source .

The existence proof :
Create vertical cylinders of the Naktiq Device , in a large pool with no pumping .
Random particle movement would lead to entrapment of the lower energy bands , which will be cooler and sink . The outer remainders , being hotter by definition , will rise .
This can be exploited without any operating energy expenditure .
Hence , useful work can be extracted by the Naktiq Device from a large heat pool .


Ram-Jets without fuel .

A Ram-jet based on this Naktiq Device will eject two differentiated gas-streams :
1. The high-temperature exhaust can be configured by engine design to impart thrust to the motor . Simple jet-thrust .
2.The low-temperature exhaust can be channeled to flow above the wings . This will give amazing lift (VTOL due to pressure differentials caused by temperature differentials) or far behind the plane (at high speed)

Conservation of Energy:
The kinetic energy/time of the plane and air-resistence balances the work performed .
Over a certain critical speed , a Plane and Naktiq Device of this nature will be self-sustaining while it is in an atmospheric pool of heat .

But the atmospheric pool of heat will slowly decrease as energy is used by all the planes .
In the present Terra case (2010) , this is desirable to decrease global warming .
(You can work out for yourself where all the energy of each flight goes .
Hint : the planet itself will act as buffer of kinetic energies . When the energy discrepancies between planes landing and taking off from Los Angeles airport threatens to destabilize the San Andreas Fault , reconsider and replan.)

Dynamos.
We can simply put a Naktiq Device at the end of a helicopter-like rotor and turn an electric generator .

Cheap copters.
Or we can put them at the end of copter rotors .

Biologics .
Micro-and nano-structures of this sort are to be expected in biological structures .
1.Mitochondria
An actual rotating structure that uses Naktiq Devices for energy pumping and differentiation .

2.Folded proteins :
Quantum energy levels are biased according to sheets of materials biasedly emitting and absorbing EM energies at close range . To make it more interesting , the critical values change after each energy-packet interchange . You need at least Beth(1) to understand what is going on . and there is a strong suspicion that the system is upwardly-generating . The levels of Beth increase without limit .

3.Therapeutics.
Cellular systems use infrared for a large range of housekeeping communication tasks .
Infrared Naktiq Devices can be used to exactly interrupt or reprogram certain processes .
Eg : simply flooding the surrounding spaces of a tumour with Infrared Naktiq Devices will stop it dead in it's tracks .


Femto , Pico etc scales .
The same principle can be used . For human use , we would use the "cooler" exhaust and the "metamaterial" would be Beth patterns in the space-time structure , created by particle exchanges in certain specific patterns . The heat-pool would be the quantum particle foam . Cf cosmic radiation .

Very Large Scale :
Imagine a dust cloud in a Galactic swirl . Naktiq Devices will definitely form , since they are a simple geometric form of molecules .
A certain percentage of Naktiq Devices will clump together because of the energy differentiation .
The process is iterated .The remainder after a few billion years is low-energy matter and anemic energy , with large gulfs separating much higher energy systems expanding at much higher pseudo-speeds .
Something like the observable universe today .

Is even one instance of Naktiq Devices replicable ? I have to say yes , because of prions . Simple molecular foldings are replicable .
In the totality of billions of galaxies and trillions of gas clouds , there would be a massive increase in replicable Naktiq Devices

Replicable devices inevitably lead to escalation on the Beth axis : ie intelligence .

So we have the delicious conclusion that the effects ascribed to Dark Mass and Dark Energy are actually a measure of the Intelligence in a galaxy .

Something a student of history has long suspected : human intelligence can only be measured in cosmological terms .

But an Intelligence Naktiq Device , self-replicating . Roll on the Singularity !

Smartly yours
Andre
