Erdos Conjecture
Andre Willers
30 Sep 2011
Synopsis :
A trivial special case of Riemann's Zeta function and Kantor's Infinities .
Discussion :
Erdos conjecture :
It states that if the sum of the reciprocals of the members of a set A of positive integers diverges, then A contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.
This sounds difficult , but is actually very simple .
Arbitrary here means even two . An arithmetic progression means that the difference between any two term anywhere in the sequence forces the sequence into divergence (ie the sum will go to infinity)
If Z= 1/(s1)^n + 1/(s2)^n + …
where Z =0 if and only if n=2 (Discussed previously) Riemann when the irrational component is zero .
If any two terms s1 ,s2 in the infinite sequence are in arithmetical sequence (ie there is a finite difference between them ) , the difference is of the form 1/s^t , where t>=n-1 .
1. Multiply each side of the equation by an Aleph(0) infinity and the right-hand side becomes infinite ,while the left hand side remains zero if n>=2
2. There are some nice little fractals in between .
Physical significance :
Any logical system is unstable . Any stable system has infinitesimals forced on it .
Real systems fluctuate between them in chaotic attractor fashion .
Bah !
Things are supposed to get simpler .

Neutrino mirrors using PASEM
Neutrino Mirrors using PASEM

“Mirror , mirror on the wall , who is the most energetic of them all?”
Synopsis :
Information is mirrored .
Discussion :
1.PASEM
Particle Amplification by Stimulated Emission via Mirror .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_reflection
1.1Postulate a finely ridged surface with very narrow slits between the ridges .
1.2Have a particle flux on ridged side A . Particles with information to be amplified .
1.3Have a high intensity , concentrated flux of the same particles on side B
1.4Have an entanglement laser shine on side A .
1.5Multiple entanglement occurs on particles coming from side B through the slits .
1.6The effect is that information in the A-side incident particles are indistinguishable from reflected particles , but at any desired intensity .
1.7This can be done at nearly any temperature
1.8Reminiscent of PCR information amplification .
1.9Fluctuations may be needed (ie it might be pulsed in earlier forms )
2.This can be done with any particle , including neutrinos .
3.Organic molecules would make a suitable medium-temperature PASEM-mirror for neutrinos.
4.Cascades can be assembled to give concentrated fluxes of particles .
5.Protons
The same can be done with protons .
High-intensity of protons can be focused through the PASEM mirror.
This means low-temperature fusion .
Tokamaks can be used , with suitable inorganic PASEM mirrors .
The anomalous cold-fusion can probably be explained via this process .
Have fun !

Riemann's Theorem , Lightspeed and Survival .
Riemann's Theorem , Lightspeed and Survival .
Andre Willers
24 Sep 2011
“I expected this , but not so soon” Epitaph on tombstone
Synopsis :
Discrete maximum signal speeds requires a much deeper insight into Riemann's zeta function .
Recent findings of neutrino speeds exceeding lightspeed will require mathematicians getting up of their duff.
At stake are fusion processes , antigravity and assorted other goodies .
Basically , survival .
Discussion :
Appendix A only discusses Beth(0) , ie orders of randomness associated with aleph(0) .
A mixture of speeds at physical level can then be described in Beth(-x) terms .
Is Beth(-x) conserved at negative levels ? I strongly suspect that it is , unless a Beth(1+) observer interacts .
Then it is described as the wave-function collapsing . Ie probabilities changing abruptly , requiring a re-balancing of energy levels .
Psionic machines
These can be constructed using the above principles .
I was in two minds about releasing this , but as far as I can see the bottoms are limited , while the tops are open . Abuse is possible , but temporary .
In any case , psionic abuse suppressors have been active for centuries on Earth and it's Locale .
Neutrinos have been engineered to interact with psionic machines .
The rest is either obvious or laborious .

Appendix A
Orders of Randomness 2
Andre Willers
15 Aug 2008
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com : “Orders of Randomness”
I have been requested to expand a little on orders of Randomness and what it means .
Please note that human endeavours at this date use only randomness of the order of flipping a coin ( Beth(0) )
Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet . It was used by Cantor to denote
Classes of Infinity (ie Aleph(0) for Rational numbers , Aleph(1) for Irrational Numbers , etc
Beth is the second letter of the Hebrew Alfabet . It means “House”
I will first repeat the derivation of Orders of Randomness from http://andreswhy.blogspot.com : “Orders of Randomness” because it is so important .
----------------xxxxxx
Start Quote:
First , simple Randomness .
Flip of a coin .
Heads or Tails . 0 or 1
Flip an unbiased coin an infinite number of times ,write it down below each other and do it again .
All possible 0 and 1’s
An example : Beth(0)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Flips(1) 0,1,1,1,1,… etc
Flips(2) 0,1,1,1,0,… etc
.
Flips(infinity) 0,0,0,0,0,0,…etc
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This describes all possible states in a delineated binary universe .
“delineated binary” means a two sided coin which cannot land on it’s side .
Now draw a diagonal line from the top left of Flips(1) to Flips(infinity) .
At every intersection of this diagonal line with a horizontal line , change the value .
The Diagonal Line of (0,1)’s is then not in the collection of all possible random
Horizontal coin-Flips(x) .
This means the Diagonal Line is of a stronger order of randomness .
This is also the standard proof of an Irrational Number .
This is the standard proof of aleph numbers .
Irrational numbers ,etc
Since any number can be written in binary (0,1) , we can infer that the order of randomness is the same as aleph numbers .
This means we can use number theory in Randomness systems .
Very important .
Google Cantor (or Kantor)
Define coin-flip Randomness as Beth(0) , analogous to Aleph(0)
Then we have at least Beth(1) , randomness an order stronger than flipping a coin .
Then we can theorize Beth(Omega) <->Aleph(Omega) .
End Quote
----------------xxxxxx
Cardinal Numbers .
The cardinal number is the index x of Aleph(x) .
Cantor proved that
Aleph(n+1) = 2 ^ Aleph( n )
Where n is the cardinal number of the infinity .
Tying them together :
He also proved that
P(A) = 2^ n
Where A is any set , P(A) is the PowerSet of A and n is the cardinal number of set A
Thus , Cardinal Number of P(A) =(n+1)
The PowerSet of A = the Set of all subsets of A .
This sounds fancy , but it is simply all the different ways you can combine the elements of set A . All the ways you can chop up A .
You can see it easily in a finite binomial expansion (1+1)^n = P(A) = 2^n
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com : “Infinite Probes”
There we also chop and dice , using infinite series .
Can you see how it all ties together ?
Why 2 ?
This derives from the Delineation Axiom . Remember , we can only talk about something if it is distinct and identifiable from something else . This gives a minimum of 2 states : part or non-part .
That is why the Zeta-function below is described on a 2-dimensional plane , or pesky problems like Primes always boil down to 2 dimensions of some sort .
This is why the irrational numbers play such an important part in physics .
Z=a+ib describes a 2-dimensional plane useful for delineated systems without feedback systems
Its in the axiom of Delineation , dummy .
But we know that Russell proved that A+~A
These need not to be described a-la-dunne’s serial time , as different Beth levels address the problem adequately without multiplying hypotheses .
Self-referencing systems and Beth sequences .
A Proper Self-referencing system is of one cardinal Beth number higher than the system it derives from .
Self-referencing systems (feedback systems) can always be described as sequences of Beth systems . Ie as Beth(x) <-> Beth(y) . The formal proof is a bit long for inclusion here .
The easiest way to see it is in Bayesian systems . If Beth(x) systems are included , Bayesian systems become orders of magnitude more effective .
Life , civilization and markets are such . See below .
Conservation Laws :
By definition , these can always be written in a form of
SomeExpression = 0
Random (Beth(0) Walk in Euclidean 2-dimensions
This is a powerful unifying principle derived from the Delineation Axiom .
In Random Walk the Distance from the Center is = d * (n)^0.5 . This is a property of Euclidean systems .
(Where d = step , n=number of random beth(0) steps)
Immediately we can say that the only hope of the Walker returning to the center after an infinity of Beth(0) steps is if d ~ 1/(n)^0.5 . This is the Riemann Hypothesis .
Now , see a Universum of 2-dimensional descriptors z=a+ib
Sum all of them . Add together all the possible things that can be thus described .
This can be done as follows :
From z=a+ib Raise both sides to the e
e^(z) = e^(a) . e^i(b)
Raise both sides to the ln(j) power where j is real integers.
j^(z) = j^(a) . e^(b/ln(j))
Now , sum them :
Zeta=Sum of j^(z) for j=1 to infinity
Now we extract all possible statements that embody some Conservation Law . Beth(1)
This means that Zeta is zero for the set of extracted statements if and only if (b/ln(j)) is of the order of Beth(0) and a=(-1/2)
Tensors .
The above is a definition of a tensor for a discontinous function .
Riemann’s Zeta function.
This can describe any delineated system .
If Zeta = 0 , conservation laws apply .
Zeta = Sigma(1/j )^z for j=1,2,3,…,infinity and z=a+ib , where z is complex and i =(-1)^0.5
The z bit is in two dimensions as discussed above .
This function has a deep underlying meaning for infinite systems .
If you unpack the Right-Hand side on a x-yi plane you get a graph that looks like a random walk .
If every point is visited that a random walk would visit over infinity (ie all) , without clumping , then Zeta can only be non-trivially zero if a=(-1/2) .
Why (x – yi) plane ? See “Why 2 “ above . The system is fractal . Two dimensions are necessary in any delineated system .
Remember , randomwalk distance from origin = step*sqrt(number of steps) .
So if the steps = 1/ ( sqrt(number of steps) ) , then the Origin might be reached if and only if a= -1/2
This is easily proven .
If a= - 1/2 , then b can be any real function . This would include Beth(0) and Beth(1) , but not higher orders of beth .
If a= -1/2 and b is an unreal number , then a cannot be equal to -1/2 anymore . Conservation cannot hold at any level .
Consequences:
Conservation Laws can only hold for Beth(0) and Beth(1) systems .
This is forced by the two dimensions of delineation .
Mathematically , this means that Beth(2+) systems of feedbacks can only be described in terms of attractors or/and fractal systems (ie not in isolation)
Physically , conservation of energy and momentum need not hold for Beth(2+) systems .
This has an interesting corollary in decryption (unpacking) . A Beth(2) mind unpacking Beth(0) or Beth(1) encryption is functionally equivalent to Non-Conservation of Energy .
Some other consequences :
If a< -½ , then Riemannian Orbitals are described . Beth(any)
Also described as nuclei , atoms .
If a> -½ , then a diffuse cloud is described . Beth(any)
Also described as magnetic effects .
What does this mean?
Present technology uses Beth(x) technology in a rather haphazard way .(Quantum physics) .
A better understanding will bring about a sudden change in capability .

Light Speed
Light Speed
Andre Willers
24 Sep 2001
Synopsis :
Why is the neutrino speed so low ? Only (1+10^(-4) ) times Lightspeed .
Discussion :
1.The CERN results can be seen at the links below .
http://public.web.cern.ch/press/pressreleases/Releases2011/PR19.11E.html
“The OPERA result is based on the observation of over 15000 neutrino events measured at Gran Sasso, and appears to indicate that the neutrinos travel at a velocity 20 parts per million above the speed of light, nature’s cosmic speed limit.”
The collaboration’s result is available on the preprint serverarxiv.org: http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4897.
2.What is lightspeed ?
In Relativity , it is the speed of propagation of the effects of an oscillating electric charge in a vacuum .
The effects are propagated in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and affect only other charges . The “in vacuo” part has never been experimentally tested , because we have never found any space-time without some matter , Indeed , some theories suggest that it is not possible .
See spacetime foam .
3.What is neutrino speed ?
It is the speed of propagation of the effects of an oscillating muon-tau neutrino . Affects mass only .
Note that the oscillation is rare (ie not 50-50 like EM)
4.Hidden Assumption in Relativity :
A signal can only be transmitted in some Electro-Magnetic form .
But , it seems that it can also be transmitted in a chargeless form (the neutrino)
5.Hypothesis :
The Ratio of Neutrino Speed(n) to EM speed(c) is proportional to their frequencies of oscillations between respective forms . The Neutrino speed is higher because it's energy is lower .
See para 7 below , as to why .
The oscillations :
EM :Electric field<->Magnetic field : 1 in 1
Neutrino Tau<-> muon : 1 in 10 000 from other experiments .
That gives n/c=(1+10^(-4) ) , which is consistent with above CERN findings .
Note the upper ceiling of n= 2*c if neutrino muon-tau oscillations are 50-50 .
6.See previous discussions concerning these topics :

An overview
7.Causation .
Does this mean major problems for causation and Relativity ?
Not at all . It just makes them a bit more complicated .
Signal speeds now allowed :
7.1 c = Old lightspeed
7.2 n = Neutrino speed ( c to 2 * c)
7.3 ent = entanglement speed (up to infinity)
This gives 2^3 = 8 possible interaction spaces . Back to Octonions (Google it)
The poor physicist must now look at 8 possible explanations for any event .
But it opens lots of exciting possibilities .
A Theory of Quantum gravity should at long last be realizable as those pesky infinities melt away using neutrino speeds .
8.Neutrino Mirrors:
A piece of fluff spun off in
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “Dino burning Bright II” Jul 2011
but suddenly relevant .
9.Cold fusion and fusion catalysts :
These suddenly much more attractive using n .
10.I can go on and on .
All over the world lab lights are staying up late ,
but some are staying up late earlier than others .
Exciting times !

Synopsis :
Why is the neutrino speed so low ? Only (1+10^(-4) ) times Lightspeed .
Discussion :
1.The CERN results can be seen at the links below .
http://public.web.cern.ch/press/pressreleases/Releases2011/PR19.11E.html
“The OPERA result is based on the observation of over 15000 neutrino events measured at Gran Sasso, and appears to indicate that the neutrinos travel at a velocity 20 parts per million above the speed of light, nature’s cosmic speed limit.”
The collaboration’s result is available on the preprint serverarxiv.org: http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4897.
2.What is lightspeed ?
In Relativity , it is the speed of propagation of the effects of an oscillating electric charge in a vacuum .
The effects are propagated in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields and affect only other charges . The “in vacuo” part has never been experimentally tested , because we have never found any space-time without some matter , Indeed , some theories suggest that it is not possible .
See spacetime foam .
3.What is neutrino speed ?
It is the speed of propagation of the effects of an oscillating muon-tau neutrino . Affects mass only .
Note that the oscillation is rare (ie not 50-50 like EM)
4.Hidden Assumption in Relativity :
A signal can only be transmitted in some Electro-Magnetic form .
But , it seems that it can also be transmitted in a chargeless form (the neutrino)
5.Hypothesis :
The Ratio of Neutrino Speed(n) to EM speed(c) is proportional to their frequencies of oscillations between respective forms . The Neutrino speed is higher because it's energy is lower .
See para 7 below , as to why .
The oscillations :
EM :Electric field<->Magnetic field : 1 in 1
Neutrino Tau<-> muon : 1 in 10 000 from other experiments .
That gives n/c=(1+10^(-4) ) , which is consistent with above CERN findings .
Note the upper ceiling of n= 2*c if neutrino muon-tau oscillations are 50-50 .
6.See previous discussions concerning these topics :

World War 2.5
World War 2.5
Andre Willers
22 Sep 2011
“We must all indeed hang together , or most assuredly , we shall all hang separately” . Franklin
“Here we go again .” Tomb of the Unknown Soldier .
Synopsis :
Euro financial dynamics gives the first major nation (Germany,France,Italy) to leave Euro zone major advantages . This will force the other big nations to follow suit , leaving the rest of the Euro partners with the baby .
Within five years this will lead to regional armed conflicts .(From history)
Discussion :
See the scenario's for “Rush for the exit” and “Prisoner's dilemma” .
Essentially , the collective cross-subsidization breaks down and the devil takes the hindmost .
Logically , Germany should be first , since it has most to gain . But France has nearly as much to gain , and it's major banks are very exposed . Limiting it's losses would be a major consideration .
Ironically , I would estimate Italy the most likely to trigger the process .
A good 40% of it's economy is Black , outside the tax net , but can be mobilized in other ways .
In other words , they have a productivity reserve . Exiting the Euro to the New Lire and mobilizing the reserve would leave them in a better relative position , paying off their debts in devalued Euro's and doing internal financing via New Lires .
This will force Germany and France to do the same , or face a taxpayer revolt .
If Germany tries to support the Euro singlehandedly , it faces hyperinflation nightmares , something it's citizens will never tolerate .
This will crash the Euro , since the only nations remaining in it will be debt-ridden , low-productivity Eastern European states , Greece , Spain , Portugal , Ireland .
Strategic Considerations :
This will be a long-term disaster for Europe .
1.Regional warfare is inevitable (WW2.5) . Yugoslavia was a foretaste .
2.Russia will regain control of some former satellites .
3.Turkey as a regional power will swing away . See “Goeben-affair” in WWI
4.British influence will show a resurgence .
5.Ancient British-French rivalry will resume . (Not again!)
6.Strong US isolationism . ( “Three times is a bit much !”)
7.Strong Chinese influence (“New Chinese-Marshall Plan .”)
All this coming to you during the next week in a country near you !

New Jet engine Paradigm .
New Jet Engine Paradigm
Andre Willers
20 Sep 2011
Synopsis :
The energy generation phase is separated from the propulsion phase .
Speed enhancements are of the order of 300%
Discussion
The old-style jet engine is broken up into the combustion stage and the propulsion stage .
The combustion stage is the old turbine or piston system .
The propulsion is electrically driven fans .
The combination with smart systems gives about 1/3 of the cost , and enables cheap supersonic systems .
As usual , Burt Rutan has been ahead of the pack .
See Burt Rutan's Flyng car .This would actually work .
http://green.autoblog.com/2011/07/26/burt-rutan-designs-hybrid-flying-car/
Notice the tiny primary powerplants (2 X 450 cc) .
Why was it not done before ?
They couldn't .
It requires materials and control systems not available before .

Apple III - Serotonin Crash
Apples III – Serotonin Crash
Andre Willers
20 Sep 2011
“Ape who gets his virtual tail caught in the gears will see his ass” - AW
Synopsis
Warning : Withdrawal after Willers Zapper usage as set out below can cause serious depression in individuals susceptible to depression or on anti-depressants .
Discussion :
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “Apples II” Sep 2011
I tried it . (Fri 16 Sep and Sat 17 Sep 2011) and saw my ass .
Xxxxxxxxx
The Willers Zapper .
Recipe :
1.Cleanse mucal receptor sites of mouth and gums by quickly rinsing with juice of crushed garlic.
Allicin's half-life is long enough for it to have significant effects on the bacteria competing for access to receptor sites . This results in a large percentage of open receptor sites .
The apple cream-crush is to be applied immediately afterward . The timing is important .
2.Crush small chunks of apple (including skin) into foamed cream using a garlic crusher .
Rinse mouth with milk (to establish oestroegen presence)
Smear the cream onto the gums .
There is an immediate calming effect . The tranquilizer kicking in .
This is quite strong . Like being on Prozac for two weeks .
A serotonin re-uptake inhibitor is generated , and a powerful one .
This is produced via an epigenetic effect on the histone windings of the DNA .
The serotonin levels in synapses soar .
3.Alcohol chaser :
A tot or two (about 25-50 ml of commercial liquor ) seems sufficient to crash the production of the tranquilizer as the alcohol shuts down the epigenetic tranquilizer production .
This has an extraordinary effect .
As the system compensates , colours are brighter , shapes are clearer , alertness increases
You are much more on the qui vive .
A very strong effect , not quite hallucinatory , but combat level .
Really remarkable .
4.Finish with a teaspoonful of peanut butter and cream cheese mixture .
This is supposed to re-establish some equinamity for normal humans .
Xxxxxxx
The Crash :
I spent the next three days in severe depression , frantically dosing with serotonin enhancers like 5HTP and alcohol , trying to figure out what went wrong . Churchill's Black Dog was in a chewing mood .
The Problem :
I am one of many people who have the two short forms of the serotonin re-uptake gene .
This means that serotonin is being too rapidly removed .
What happened :
The Willers Zapper whipsawed the system between rapid increases and decreases in serotonin levels (as well as some other neurotransmitters) .
Systems with high serotonin re-uptake rates promptly crashed on withdrawal (because of homeostasis) , leading to a prolonged period of deep depression .
Super-charging horses :
Give the horse a handful of garlic cloves , a bit of milk and some apples before a race and it will be a Wow ! Although depressed afterwards .
Does a horse-whisperer's breath smell of garlic ?
Is there some safe way to use this ?
The genetic serotonin re-uptake mechanism for each individual has to be taken into consideration .
The power seems to be in the synergistic effect between the Garlic and Apples on the mucosal membranes .
Scaling down of the alcohol component should also be effective by decreasing the whipsaw effect .
(ie a teaspoon of liquor instead of a tot .)
Summation :
I thought this would have a weak effect . Instead , I nearly had my head ripped off .
It needs some thinking .
Be careful in there .

Apples II
Apples II
Andre Willers
15 Sep 2011
“Stay me with flagons , comfort me with apples : for I am sick of love” Bible
Synopsis :
Major endorphin systems are in play . Apples are playing humans via horses .
Discussion :
Bears love apples .
Horses love apples.
What is the connection ?
See :
http://www.botany.wisc.edu/courses/botany_940/06CropEvol/papers/Harris%2602.pdf
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “Apples.horses and domestication” Sep 2011
See Appendix A for ease of reference .
Apples are rich in methionine amino acids . This suggests epigenetic effects .
Garlic was easy : Alliciin and Alliciinase required large concentrations of the relevant chemicals .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “Garlic and the Plant-Herbivore Wars” Apr 2011
Epigenetic triggers take much smaller amounts , and are much more potent .
Hence the keeping it inactive in binary components .
The problem is that nobody has looked for them . So I can't find them on any search engine .
It will have to be done ab initio by looking at peripheral effects .
Preservation of apples :
Dried ,whole apples should keep the vesicles intact . A major trade in Mongolian times .
Cider , juices ,etc involves breaking the vesicles .
Cider will have none of the active ingredients . .They are stored in binary form , interact when
the apple is crushed . Very shortlived . Absorbed through linings of mouth .
I think subgroup of domesticated horses became domesticated because they had some enzymes in their mouth that delayed the breakdown .
Note the habit of pubertal human females letting horses nibble apples from their mouth .
Some transfer must take place . This hints at some oestrogen related compound .
The human would experience an endorphin high and relaxation .
French-kissing Dobbin gives a new meaning to bobbing for apples .
A new perversion ?
I shudder to think if it is not .
Horse Nomads :
Rather amusing to think that all that sound and fury was simply horses looking for a fix .
Evidence of apple cultivation at about 11500 BC has been found .
Every Mongol carried dried apples with him , and planted the seeds whenever they could .
Kumiss
Note the oestrogen effect .Drinking mares milk after the mares had eaten apples would have had a calming effect , making civilization possible . But drink it after it has fermented , with an alcohol level , it would have shut down the loosening of the histone DNA winding , preventing the expression of tranquilizers and endorphins . (Alcohol ameliorates methylation , a well-known epigenetic effect in memory and genetic systems .)
Also note the see-saw effect . Essential for civilizations .
What does this mean?
The Willers Zapper Cocktail :
Tranquilizer effect :
1.Rinse mouth with full cream milk(to establish an oestrogen presence )
2.Crush apple piece into a cream foam and smear onto gums and tongue .
3.Rinse with full cream milk .
Zapper Effect :
Follow with a shot of your favourite liquor . This will rapidly shut down the tranquilizer effect .
This whip-saw effect is essential to human function .
The net effect is a shock to the system .
What humans like . Swirling around the chaos-attractors .
You definitely will not be bored .

15 Sep 2011
Synopsis:
Burgers using liquid nitrogen or ordinary freezing .
Discussion :
Liquid nitrogen :
From Nathan Myhrvold (SciAm aug 2011 p12)
1.Slow cook burger to medium rare .
2.Dunk briefly in liquid nitrogen(to freeze thin layer on outside)
3.Deep fry (creates brown crust , but does not overheat interior)
A lot of hassle and expense .
Freezer-microwave (my version)
1.Freeze two thin layers of mince-patty on stiff plastic ,after dipping in water (or misting)
Spices can be added .(Yummy!)
2.Cook the rest of the patty till rare .
3.Put this between the two layers of frozen patty .
4.Microwave . Not too , long , so the interior does not overcook .
5.Stand (5-10 min)
Freezer-oven (my version)
As above , but instead of microwaving , wrap in aluminium foil and oven bake at high temperature (220C) for a short while(try increments of 5 minutes)
Stand
Freezer-grill (my version)
As above , but instead put only one frozen layer on top , grill it , flip it, then put the other frozen layer on top and grill it .
Stand .
Cheese :
Can be frozen or not . Some cheeses are better after frozen (the strong sorts)
Add between the layers . Helps to meld them together .
The result is a juicy burger close to the liquid nitrogen model , without all the hazard and hassle .
Here's to champagne tastes and beer incomes.

New , cheap , non-fossil fuel energy sources have been developed and are being employed .
Discussion :
As previously mentioned , this underlied the German decision to go non-nuclear .
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Catalyzer
Prototypes and working units have been built and tested .
The licenses have been bought by US companies , licensed to European nations , notably Germany and France . Presumably after thorough testing .
Germany has bet the future of it's society on this technology .
What does this mean ?
Another peak .

The Oil price is fluctuating according to short-term demand , not long-term expectations .
Oil is not nearly as expensive as it should be .
Ditto the price of gas . Of major interest to Russia . So they are also into the new technology .
Ditto the price of water .
Ditto the price of air , notably the futures market in CO2 .
Ditto the price of human energy (food) . Food is not nearly as expensive as it should be .
Ditto price of spaceflight . (LEO , at least) . Private firms can afford to compete because of low capital costs .
Why haven't you heard of it ?
Major players are trying to optimize their options (including burying it)
But the ripple effects have been leaking out .

Synopsis :
Sets of maxima and minima move in echelon where network node capacity is limited .
Discussion :
Peaks rise or fall together . The interactions seem chaotic (and are) . The peaks are outliers of attractor basins . They are inherently connected .
A major shift in peaks means a major shift in the social and technological paradigm .
It is easy to chart , and futile to fight .
The Growth Paradigm is dead .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Peak Car" Sep 2011
What is amazing is that it has taken so long to percolate through .
Green and sustainability is the game . This can be leveraged by about a factor of 3 .
For example :
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "NewTools" Nov 2008
A reasonable sustainable reserve is 1/3 from infinite basic principles.
The equation
1/3 = 1/r –1
gives r= ¾ as a useful Sharia or Christian Bank Fractional Sustainable Reserve .
The major reason for China's monetary success is that they micro-managed the fractional bank reserve rates . These are now edging up from about 0.5 to a sustainable 0.75 . European and American rates are much lower (5%-15%) and induces instability .
Delicious !
Big banks that relied on a r<0.75 to grow are history . Small banks are taking them over , and staying small . It is more profitable . The paradigm has changed .
Big is not beautiful anymore .
Ask Rupert Murdoch . Really look at the factors that led to his downfall .
The Fashion has changed .
European bank crisis :
This can be stopped in it’s tracks by fiat : make r=3/4 . This will have a bad effect on the bonuses of the bank bosses , but not much on depositors . They will have a sustainable debt as an investment .

Peak Cars :

http://www.abc.net.au/rn/scienceshow/stories/2011/3206293.htm
Briefly :
1.Peak Cars:
A tipping point had been reached well before 2008 (start of current economic crisis ) where people were less willing to go into debt for cars and the associated infrastructures .
This contributed to a large degree to the present economic crisis .
2.Social Networks and Car Networks are in direct competition .
The cost of social networks are about 1/100 of a car network , and decreasing , while the cost of car networks are increasing .
Guess which is winning .
Cars in China , India , etc.
It a characteristic of emerging markets to follow mature markets in that they recapitulate the development process much faster . In other words , the emerging markets car systems will peak quickly (may have already peaked) , then leap-frog the developed world into the next generation (like cellphones in Africa)
3.Peak Airtravel
There are no hits on Google . Nobody seems to have realised (like with cars) that Peak Airtravel has already been reached . The industry is declining , as seen in the large number of busts in low-cost airlines . Invariably blamed on the cost of fuel . But the fuel price has been going down . It is the ancillary infrastructure costs and sociological changes that has peaked airtravel .
4.Peak Tourism :
Cost of credit has eroded discretionary savings . Mass tourism travel has peaked .
Rip-offs at destination has permanently soured the market for the middle- and lower classes . Really bad news for lots of emerging countries .
5.Peak Oil
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil
Do not confuse this with peak oil prices . At a rough estimate , a fair oil price would be about $95 a barrel at peak demands . The rest is speculative excess .
As peak demands fall , oil prices will fall .
6.Peak Food Costs:
Dare I say it ? Food production costs have peaked .
Centers of large demand (China,India) have brought less productive agricultural areas in Africa and elsewhere into about 40 –fold increase in productivity .Populations have stabilised or grown wealthier . Food prices will fall .
If peak demands fall , (Peak Car , Peak Airtravel , Peak Oil Costs , Peak Food Costs)
Deflation would be the problem
7.Double Dip Recession :
This deflation is disguised as a Double Dip Recession .
The economies will slow down , but things will get cheaper in real terms .
Earn less , but buy more.
Peak Credit demand
Social networks are so much cheaper .
8.Peak Banks
The demand for credit has peaked and collapsed .
The smart operators got out of hedge funds long ago (cf Quantum)
Banks are still under the misapprehension that they only control the credit taps .
Fractional Reserves in banking has been responsible for most of the present troubles .
This is at an end unless Westerners want sharia banks to buy them with their own money .
9.Sharia Banking :
This is gaining ground because of the large fractional reserve (usually 100%)
Expect equivalent Fundamentalist Christian Banking .
A replay of the situation after the end of the Roman Empire's banking system .

Virtual Haptics
Virtual Haptics
Andre Willers
8 Sep 2011
Synopsis :
Haptic systems are very resistant to suggestion . This is because most of the information processing is done on site , before the resultant is sent to the CNS .
But powerful feedback processes are possible .
The Haptic Golfer illustrates this .
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnotism
Discussion :
The Haptic Golfer :
The Algorithm is simple :
1. At tee-off , have imaginary smart superstrong strings connecting your hands and feet to Anchor points in a recognizable roughly square around you . Next , have a superstrong string connecting your head to the hole .
2. Imagine that each string is connected to a smart motor that will correct your swing .
You do not have to concentrate too hard .
The system is pre-programmed by evolution .
Think like an inverse puppet .
3. Practise and play .
Learning will happen much faster .
What is going on ?
Evolution has armoured the physical systems against self-deception of the hypnosis and suggestion varieties , but there is a chink-hole using mirror-neurons .
Each Anchor point is a nexus of mirror neurons . Suggestion is a narrowing of focus (ie the superstrong cable and Anchor) .
The Systems interact more efficiently than a top-down central command system .
Therapeutic usage :
Elderly persons where fine control has gone due to death of too many cells , can benefit by a simplification of this nature .
Just imagine cables pulling them everywhere .It does not matter if they are paranoid . The effect is the same .
This is so simple , I am going to try it on the Putt-Putt course this weekend .
Inverse gods , anyone ?

Fingerprints
Fingerprints
Andre Willers
8 Sep 2011
Synopsis:
Fingerprint Biometrics became obsolete with the identification of the SMARCAD1 gene .
Fingerprints are unique except for the class of humans with no fingerprints .
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adermatoglyphia
Lack of sweating on the hands is a feature .
This has survival benefits in a metal-using culture in very cold climates .
The gene (an instability in the mini-SMARCAD1 gene) seems to be an epigenetic dominant . It has spread far and wide from the original 5 families and will make biometric fingerprint usage valueless in the near future .
Discussion :
1.Already widespread .
It even has a name : "Immigration-delay disease" . Means there are a lot .
http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/rethinking-healthcare/fingerprintless-mutation-causes-8216immigration-delay-disease/6126
2.Why ?
Evolutionary advantage :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint
"the eccrine glands that are present in friction ridge skin,"
These are the sweat glands clustered on the ridges .
Without the ridges , the hands and fingers do not sweat or sweat very little .
In sub-zero temperatures , people with this mutation can handle metals (like ploughs , rifles , swords ,etc) without freeze-bonding . There is also much less heat-loss through the hands .
3.Epigenetic :
The instability in the Mini-SMARCAD1 gene seems to be triggered by a traumatic episode in a mother or grandmother during pregnancy .
This gives the system an evolutionary flexibility . Quite elegant .
The instability seems to be dominant , but whether it is only epigenetically so I cannot say .
Metals , warfare and culture in the cold climates seem to go together . So there was heavy selection for this trait . (On a very small anecdotal sample , I could find four individuals of two distinct families.)
4. Genetic Engineering .
Creating instability in the Mini-SMARCAD1 gene in the fingertips has probably already been done . They need not create a specific fingerprint , only change the old one .
It is only a matter of time before you can buy "Design-a-Fingerprint" as a fashion accessory . Tie in sound and become exquisitely tactile sensual .
Build in some OLED's from the DNA template , and a visual and electronic unique identification could be at your fingertips . About two years .

Appendix A
Human Nails .
Andre Willers
23 August 2007
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com
Synopsis :
Human fingernails are intimately linked to rhythm and pattern recognition neural systems . It is also the third most important element in human sexual selection .
Discussion:
Evolutionary roots:
Hominid bipedalism evolved quite early .
Moropithecus (16 to 25 MY ago) showed adaptations to upright posture .
They walked on branches and clutched other breast-high branches for stability .
(See
Science DOI : 10.112 / science.1140779
New Scientist of 9 June 2007 p18 “Four legs new ,two legs much older”
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “The Squat and the Wobble” )
This adaptation was lost in some streams of homonids , but retained in the homonin (ie our) ancestors . This means that for significant evolutionary time our ancestors clung to thin branches with their fingers curled around the branch and their fingertips pressed against the wood ..
The branch is not only a mechanical support , but also transmits information . The branches are elastically resilient , so waves caused by any large organism walking and stalking about can be picked up by suitably sensitive sensors and the type of organism identified by a neural-network .
The canopy-network is an information-rich network because of it’s resilience . Similar type of signals can be carried by the ground (cf elephant feet ) , but the damping and bandwidth is totally different .
Small wonder that homonins have recreated the canopy in the Internet .
An Internet created by elephants or whales would look completely different .
The finger :
The sensor-network is the pressure-receptors below the nail . The finger part in touch with branch is liable to tissue destruction , abrasion and calluses . Any sensors here are degraded by wear-and-tear .
But , hydraulic pressure transmits around the finger bone to compress the pressure receptors in the nail-bed against the unyielding nail , giving quite fine detail to a neural-network .
Some Corollaries:
1. IFF (Identification Friend or Foe)
This evolved literally at the start of the dinosaur/mammal split , derived from reptiles and has been refined ever since .
Any predator has a particular rhythm caused by putting it’s feet down in particular sequence (gait) .
If the predator is on a branch (or any resilient surface) , the rhythm is transmitted .
Soil can also be a medium , but less efficient (cf elephants)
This neural-network for IFF evolved under the fingernails .
In other words , a lot of rhythm recognition (ie pattern-recognition) takes place in the nerve-plexus under the fingernail .
The survival advantages are obvious .
The primary advantage is in recognizing non-hostiles . False alarms are extremely wasteful , especially in hard times . A trinary classification at neural level of hostile , neutral and friendly would evolve as an optimal solution .
There are circuits directly stimulating flight-or-fight mechanisms . There is a direct tie to the hippocampus and amygdala through stress proteins . There is a direct neural tie to muscles in the arm (from fingernails) and the legs (from toenails) .
This enabled the prey to identify a predator creeping or galloping up to it and take immediate reflex action .
Hyper-length neurons is the latest fashionable term to denote really long nervous connections without synapses .
The rich nexus of nerves under the fingernails have long been a target of human torture . But notice the aversion to nail-less humans or nail-biting . Notice how your attention is drawn to a nail-malformation (like a blue-nail)
2. Grooming.
Unarguably a defining social element in homonins .
But every human is complex of pressure waves .
Heartbeat , breathing , peritalsis are only a few of the passive pressure-waves that can be sensed by fingertips . More active palpations enables joint-crackling , lung and abdominal spaces to be felt by fingertips . Ask any doctor .
By definition , some females would be better at fingertip sensitivity than others . Since most infant mortality involves the gastro-intestinal system , which can be felt , sick babies allowed to be handled by the more sensitive woman are much more likely to survive . No language for this is needed initially .
Nursing and handling babies need sensitive touch .
Those females better at it ( ie well-shaped fingernails) evolve into midwives , since they reduce infant mortality for the group .
The midwife is the first professional .
Indeed , the medical round has not changed much in about 70 000 years .
The dominant female shaman , surrounded by a cloud of students , stalks from infant to infant , subjecting them to tactile examination . Easily remedified complaints (like blockages) or tried and true herbal plants are used to reduce infant mortality . This information is transmitted to the students .
Note self-medication by chimps and gorillas .
3. What drives this language development ?
The problem with previous language-development models was that there is no really , really compelling evolutionary reason why language should evolve .
Hunters do not need it . Noise is contra-indicated . Modern warriors like the SEALs use sign language in combat .
Small-woman groups might have the tendencies , but how does being top-woman of a small , isolated group translate into a planetwide meme-and-gene dominance ?
We have to have a mechanism whereby local dominance is transmitted .
The Answer :
Old-Fashioned Darwin .
The reduction in infant-mortality is the driver .
The transmission of information (ie language) then has an extremely direct relevance not only for a small tribe , but larger groups .
A tactile sensitive female with some language skill creates a positive feedback environment for higher infant survival rates . The language element enables her to teach students that scatter and repeat the process . The tribes that accept or send students to the college outbreed those that that don’t .
There is a crux point here relevant today :
Matriarchs (ie doctors) who tried to keep this advance in-tribe got overwhelmed by those that made it freely available .
Females , following an ancient imperative , would bring sick infants to the friendly neighborhood clinic .
The Matriarchal-Medical societal group outbred all others . And language was essential to the information transmission .
Argh!!
A bunch of doctors huddling together and exchanging jargon is the origin of language. The jargon was expanded to include terms for social competition for resources and status . Language was born in all its glory .
Note that the invention of Peace
(See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “The origins of war and Peace”)
is a logical consequence of the above scenario during a stress episode like Toba .
Not to mention the College / University idea . Which morphed into Organised Religion .
The Dark Side .
The Rite of Passage (ie to qualify to be seen as human and worthy of procreation ) was an invention simultaneous with the invention of Peace . Youths who could not subordinate their impulses (to fairness , pain , boredom ) to the society , were expelled from the procreational pool , or even killed .
This mechanism (meme-structure) is still active today . (Flunked Varsity ? You’re drafted.) Can’t stand the fraternity initiation ? You are not human . Go flip burgers .
This works fine as long as the governing society is in charge . But by expelling it’s mutants , the society builds up a pool resentful beings of various degrees of humanity.
A sudden change (climate , plague , technology , etc) reduces the defenses of the original system sufficiently to bring about a revolution
Ie the climatic stabilization about 12 900 years ago that made profitable agriculture possible .
4. Snakes .
The alert reader would have noticed that a reliable , sensitive temperature sensor is lacking in the human sensorium . The most sensitive ones are in the elbows and the back of the knees , and these hardly lend themselves to easy usage .
So they bred snakes . Remember , these are the people that domesticated through selective breeding all our present domesticated species .
Snakes then would have been the very first domesticated species .
A living thermometer .
The infra-red sensors of snakes are more sensitive than present thermometers used in hospitals .
The specially bred snakes would have been bred not only for thermo-sensitivity , but for chemo-sensitivity as well .
The forked-tongue could detect not only breakdown products of illnesses exuded through the skin or breath , but location as well . (That’s why it’s forked.)
A basket of specialized snakes would enable a medical practitioner of the era
70 000 – 12 900 BC to give first level medical care equivalent to that of country clinic in our era . Diagnostics would have been superior , since specialized snakes would be doing this . Think programmed bio-chips .
Problem cases would be referred to the local College center .
Poisonous snakes was bred for medicinal aspects of their poisons (still being done today) .
So where are these snakes today ?
Traces of their genetic material should be found in garden snakes in Western Europe .
Obviously , nobody has looked for genetic bottlenecks from this viewpoint .
So this is a verifiable test .
Evidence of deliberate breeding (especially in mitochondrial snake DNA ) should be found . It is doubtful that really highly specialized snakes could survive in the wild (think feral Jersey cow or Merino) , but some would have gotten lucky . Their genetic traces should be traceable .
Cultural remnants :
The Caduceus is a cultural remnant . (Intertwined snakes is still the Western symbol of medicine .) Not bad for a symbol about 30 000 years old .
Legends , statues and inscriptions of dragons .
Bible : Eden . The snake got the starring role as the baddie , since the victors wrote the history books .
Also note Isis , purging of Ireland of snakes , Feng Shui , etc
Spirals : in rock engravings , etc . Which way does a snake coil up ?
Midwives .
The memes for this civilization is coiled up inside the one set of humans that had to survive : the midwives .
Remember , they thought biologically . The concepts of seeds inside reproducing systems came naturally to them .
The Matriarchs had thousands of years to see their demise coming and to plant seeds
Ho-ho-ho !
The New World Order is guaranteed to be completely different from the Bilderbirger vision .
So , there were some good ones matriarchs and some bad ones .
The good ones tried to ensure the survival of what was good in their civilization .
The bad ones tried to ensure their dominance .
The ensuing civil wars destroyed almost everything .
Most of the good got thrown out with the bad .
The planet is littered with the ruins of their buildings , bioforms and still-active
bio- weapon systems .
Some meme markers that have survived the wars :
Bio-warfare vs numbers . Fear the disease-ridden stranger . If you are not for us , you are against us . Any writing or symbol is dangerous , since it can contaminated with mind-altering vectors by touching it .
Some remnants of these have survived in central-europe : psychotic and schizophrenic inducing chemicals in basic foodstuffs like rye (ergot fungi) . Some very localized near the original labs .
(One particular variant of psychosis inducing behavioural change organisms was localized within about 50 km radius in central Europe : symptoms : fear of persecution : paranoia with very definite cut-off points . A weapon .)
Your attention is drawn to plasmodium induced behaviour changes where the carriers are cats (and dogs as well) .
This would be a civilizing influence in a mild form ( taking risks by trusting ) , but a mind-control form in a strong form (trust unconditionally) . (Oxytocin stimulation)
A horrible thought is that the sites of the Nazi extermination camps (and the very idea) came from people picking up extermination bio-weapon contamination from old weapon sites . Note that the Nazi camps are on a line that would be a natural defensive line about 9 000 years ago .
Old weapons that kill and kill again .
Why the sudden sanity in the late twentieth century ?
Acid rain .
The vectors of madness were in the fungi (forest rhizomes) in the ground .
The weaponized mind-altering fungi , bacteria and viruses were obviously spread as widely as possible over the defensive lines . The ones that could survive thousands of years would be in the old fungi structures underground . These (because they were carrying a non-survival payload) were the first to die in acid-rain .
Remember , they thought like biologists .
They would not pick up a rock and bash you on the head . They would breed some organism that makes you vulnerable to their memes . You then would pick up a rock and bash their enemies ‘ heads in .
Can these organisms recover ?
Of course . They doing so now . See the latest history .
Why did this civilization nearly vanish ?
(See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “The origins of war and Peace” , “Costs” , “Nazca” , etc)
Your attention is drawn to the putative small comet impact on North America about 12 900 years ago . See New Scientist 26 May 2007 “Firestorm from space wiped out prehistoric Americans.”
This resulted in a short-term planetary climatic stability
(alas , now coming to an end ).
The resulting climatic stability led to usable , profitable , large-scale agriculture .
This led to an explosion in human numbers .
The Matriarchy tried to keep the lid on . Things got ugly on both sides .
The sub-human mutants (partially our ancestors ) won and extirpated their enemies . The late bronze-age cataclysm was but the end stages of a 7 000 year old clash of memes , and was correspondingly bitter.
Think Paris Hilton vs Bill Gates .
5 .Rhythm .
Rhythm is then a very ancient IFF mechanism .
Music is used as a cultural defining mechanism . Era’s and societies are defined by ephemeral harmonies .
If you like my rhythms , we are pals .
6. Musical instruments:
Nearly all human instruments are characterized by causing compression waves around fingertips in sequences and cadences .
Guitar , piano , flute , etc .The reason why they popular is that they are easy to play . The reason why they are easy to play is that pattern-recognition takes place in the fingertips .
A hardwired threat is a cat stalking along slender bough . The cadence of a four-footed stalk is known . The damping of vibrations along a bough of decreasing diameter is known . The speed of the approach of the predator can then be calculated .
In music this translates as impending threat or doom . Can you see how it goes ?
Now you too can design threatening music that operates at instinctive level .
Finger tapping .
This is a variant of “Counting to ten” .
The pressure impacts on the nail-beds causes interrupts in the amygdale , hippocampus and lower stem . Hence the success of some stress therapies using fingerclicking .
You got rhythm if you fingertap and foot/toe tap with the music .
Fingertip to forearm tapping .
You will not find this little item anywhere else .
Endorphin release is proportional to fingertip-to-forearm cadences .
Instead of tapping your fingers on the table , tap them on and around your forearms instead in time to the music . Notice you will automatically start waving your forearms about .
Endorphin release is increased by orders of magnitude .
Why ?
Your forearm is like a branch . You are tapping your fingertips and moving your hands and forearms in a way that signals “ Only friendlies and non-hostiles” about .
Monkey’s joy .
Listen to some music that has a beat . Put your right hand on your left forearm and vice versa . Tap your fingers on the forearms as if you are conducting like mad . Go mad .
Try it .
Notice the flatness if you stop . This is endorphin production being stopped . (Especially with semi-classical music)
Notice that you move your fingers about 3 times as frequently as your thumbs . To be more exact , e=2.718… more frequently . The reason is obvious .
Notice that all musicians move their instruments if they can . The pianist moves his head and torso as he moves through the virtual canopy . Notice the contortions of a violinist . What does the virtual monkey-mind cluster of a violinist see as she contorts and gyrates ?
7. Counting .
The relationship between mathematics and music is well known .
But why ten fingers? Many different variations have been tried .
The answer is simple : 4 fingers + 1 thumb on each hand .
The thumb gives a better grasp on the branch . The 4 fingers at roughly equal distances split the harmonics of the wave on the branch . This is a physical optimization , inherent in the nature of vibrations . A physical and mathematical law of vibrations .
4=2^2 , 8 = 2^4 . Can you see it ?
A little prediction : the spread of thickness of 4 fingers in homonids will optimize natural harmonies in branches of varying taper .
This means that the thumb is not strictly necessary for rhythm recognition . Notice that most instruments do not require the thumb except for grasping . (Eg the guitar : the right thumb is usually replaced by a plectrum.)
This also means that the thumb could be used for something else , and that is what evolutionary systems did . Thumb systems specialized in acting as reference point for the other fingers . A weight-lifter , javelin-thrower , tennis-player , golf-player , violin-player , etc all do the same thing : their hands analyze the vibration-characteristics of their instrument to find the sweet-spot relative to the other fingers .
8. Golf:
The monkey swings through the air and grips a branch .
The 4x2 fingers hook over to top . Immediately , IFF is done in the fingertips . If no enemy is detected , the thumbs hook underneath . By this time , the branch has deformed under the weight and vibrations set up . Using the positions of the thumbs as reference points , the vibrational characteristics of the branch is analyzed . If the monkey wants to stay and have a firm grip , it must move to a vibrational node of the branch (ie where the standing wave caused by it’s weight cancels out . Usually called the Sweet Spot .) . notice that one hand must get there first , usually overshooting . The overshooting hand is adjusted closer to the sweet spot , then the other hand . This approximation process is repeated until the monkey is satisfied (inside the parameter.)
It moves its hands , the fingers frequently and the thumbs less frequently (ratio of about 3 to 1) until it feels happy .
Now do the same to the golf club .
If right-handed , cradle the club lightly at balance point in the left hand with the fingers underneath and the thumb over the top , the handle to the right . The right hand has a light overhand grip .
Hold the club horizontal (like a branch ) , waggle it gently up and down . With the fingertips on the club , shift your hand alternately to the right until it feels correct . Jiggle the right hand back to correct for overshoot .
Then lock the right thumb in . (Note , locking the thumb is characteristic of all golf-grips . Now you know why .)
This is the interesting bit . While locking the right thumb in place , wriggle the left fingers and thumb until they feel ok . The right fingers can be wriggled as well , but not the right thumb . Do not wriggle the fingers more than 3 times the thumbs at this stage .
9. Piano
An interesting corollary is that you will learn the piano better and faster if you tape the thumbs out of the way .
10 .Birds .
So why doesn’t birds have ten toes ? They have 8 = 3x2 + 2.
Birds can fly , so they don’t have to stick around and develop enhanced harmonic analysis .
11. Stochastic resonance .
The Stochastic resonance mechanisms which evolved in the brain and hands to deal with random branch movements due to weather was essential to the development of language .
Lying and an honest error cannot be distinguished from each other . And it does not matter in the long term .
12 .Sexual Selection.
Men look at women and see at a subconscious level :
1. Her middle/hip ratio is about 0.75 . Enough room for babies head
2.High , conical breasts . They will not smother baby while suckling and running .
3. Well-kept nails . Tactile sensitivity for baby care and nursing .
Women look at men and see at a subconscious level :
1. A taut bum . Good runner . Essential for good hunter .
2.Muscled arms . Good hunter and protector .
3. Symmetric face . Behaviour not too weird .
That’s it . The systems can only count to three .
If you want to overcome any negative impression on any one of these factors , you will have to work hard at it .
I was surprised to see nails pop out as an important sexual selection criterion . Females are always buffing , colouring , shaping , hardening , etc nails .
Shaped nails .
Refer to magnetrons . Shaped guides to various wave-forms can magnify the effect million-fold . Women with wave-guide shaped nails are remnants of the old order . Good or bad ? Unfortunately , nobody can tell . But if you run into one , run like hell .
The groove is only quantum deep , but it is coupled across all time .
So much for this space-time .

Synopsis:
Fingerprint Biometrics became obsolete with the identification of the SMARCAD1 gene .
Fingerprints are unique except for the class of humans with no fingerprints .
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adermatoglyphia
Lack of sweating on the hands is a feature .
This has survival benefits in a metal-using culture in very cold climates .
The gene (an instability in the mini-SMARCAD1 gene) seems to be an epigenetic dominant . It has spread far and wide from the original 5 families and will make biometric fingerprint usage valueless in the near future .
Discussion :
1.Already widespread .
It even has a name : "Immigration-delay disease" . Means there are a lot .
http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/rethinking-healthcare/fingerprintless-mutation-causes-8216immigration-delay-disease/6126
2.Why ?
Evolutionary advantage :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint
"the eccrine glands that are present in friction ridge skin,"
These are the sweat glands clustered on the ridges .
Without the ridges , the hands and fingers do not sweat or sweat very little .
In sub-zero temperatures , people with this mutation can handle metals (like ploughs , rifles , swords ,etc) without freeze-bonding . There is also much less heat-loss through the hands .
3.Epigenetic :
The instability in the Mini-SMARCAD1 gene seems to be triggered by a traumatic episode in a mother or grandmother during pregnancy .
This gives the system an evolutionary flexibility . Quite elegant .
The instability seems to be dominant , but whether it is only epigenetically so I cannot say .
Metals , warfare and culture in the cold climates seem to go together . So there was heavy selection for this trait . (On a very small anecdotal sample , I could find four individuals of two distinct families.)
4. Genetic Engineering .
Creating instability in the Mini-SMARCAD1 gene in the fingertips has probably already been done . They need not create a specific fingerprint , only change the old one .
It is only a matter of time before you can buy "Design-a-Fingerprint" as a fashion accessory . Tie in sound and become exquisitely tactile sensual .
Build in some OLED's from the DNA template , and a visual and electronic unique identification could be at your fingertips . About two years .
Did Neanderthals bite their nails ?

Human Nails .

Synopsis :
Human fingernails are intimately linked to rhythm and pattern recognition neural systems . It is also the third most important element in human sexual selection .
Discussion:
Evolutionary roots:
Hominid bipedalism evolved quite early .
Moropithecus (16 to 25 MY ago) showed adaptations to upright posture .
They walked on branches and clutched other breast-high branches for stability .
(See
Science DOI : 10.112 / science.1140779
New Scientist of 9 June 2007 p18 “Four legs new ,two legs much older”
http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “The Squat and the Wobble” )
This adaptation was lost in some streams of homonids , but retained in the homonin (ie our) ancestors . This means that for significant evolutionary time our ancestors clung to thin branches with their fingers curled around the branch and their fingertips pressed against the wood ..
The branch is not only a mechanical support , but also transmits information . The branches are elastically resilient , so waves caused by any large organism walking and stalking about can be picked up by suitably sensitive sensors and the type of organism identified by a neural-network .
The canopy-network is an information-rich network because of it’s resilience . Similar type of signals can be carried by the ground (cf elephant feet ) , but the damping and bandwidth is totally different .
Small wonder that homonins have recreated the canopy in the Internet .
An Internet created by elephants or whales would look completely different .
The finger :
The sensor-network is the pressure-receptors below the nail . The finger part in touch with branch is liable to tissue destruction , abrasion and calluses . Any sensors here are degraded by wear-and-tear .
But , hydraulic pressure transmits around the finger bone to compress the pressure receptors in the nail-bed against the unyielding nail , giving quite fine detail to a neural-network .
Some Corollaries:
1. IFF (Identification Friend or Foe)
This evolved literally at the start of the dinosaur/mammal split , derived from reptiles and has been refined ever since .
Any predator has a particular rhythm caused by putting it’s feet down in particular sequence (gait) .
If the predator is on a branch (or any resilient surface) , the rhythm is transmitted .
Soil can also be a medium , but less efficient (cf elephants)
This neural-network for IFF evolved under the fingernails .
In other words , a lot of rhythm recognition (ie pattern-recognition) takes place in the nerve-plexus under the fingernail .
The survival advantages are obvious .
The primary advantage is in recognizing non-hostiles . False alarms are extremely wasteful , especially in hard times . A trinary classification at neural level of hostile , neutral and friendly would evolve as an optimal solution .
There are circuits directly stimulating flight-or-fight mechanisms . There is a direct tie to the hippocampus and amygdala through stress proteins . There is a direct neural tie to muscles in the arm (from fingernails) and the legs (from toenails) .
This enabled the prey to identify a predator creeping or galloping up to it and take immediate reflex action .
Hyper-length neurons is the latest fashionable term to denote really long nervous connections without synapses .
The rich nexus of nerves under the fingernails have long been a target of human torture . But notice the aversion to nail-less humans or nail-biting . Notice how your attention is drawn to a nail-malformation (like a blue-nail)
2. Grooming.
Unarguably a defining social element in homonins .
But every human is complex of pressure waves .
Heartbeat , breathing , peritalsis are only a few of the passive pressure-waves that can be sensed by fingertips . More active palpations enables joint-crackling , lung and abdominal spaces to be felt by fingertips . Ask any doctor .
By definition , some females would be better at fingertip sensitivity than others . Since most infant mortality involves the gastro-intestinal system , which can be felt , sick babies allowed to be handled by the more sensitive woman are much more likely to survive . No language for this is needed initially .
Nursing and handling babies need sensitive touch .
Those females better at it ( ie well-shaped fingernails) evolve into midwives , since they reduce infant mortality for the group .
The midwife is the first professional .
Indeed , the medical round has not changed much in about 70 000 years .
The dominant female shaman , surrounded by a cloud of students , stalks from infant to infant , subjecting them to tactile examination . Easily remedified complaints (like blockages) or tried and true herbal plants are used to reduce infant mortality . This information is transmitted to the students .
Note self-medication by chimps and gorillas .
3. What drives this language development ?
The problem with previous language-development models was that there is no really , really compelling evolutionary reason why language should evolve .
Hunters do not need it . Noise is contra-indicated . Modern warriors like the SEALs use sign language in combat .
Small-woman groups might have the tendencies , but how does being top-woman of a small , isolated group translate into a planetwide meme-and-gene dominance ?
We have to have a mechanism whereby local dominance is transmitted .
The Answer :
Old-Fashioned Darwin .
The reduction in infant-mortality is the driver .
The transmission of information (ie language) then has an extremely direct relevance not only for a small tribe , but larger groups .
A tactile sensitive female with some language skill creates a positive feedback environment for higher infant survival rates . The language element enables her to teach students that scatter and repeat the process . The tribes that accept or send students to the college outbreed those that that don’t .
There is a crux point here relevant today :
Matriarchs (ie doctors) who tried to keep this advance in-tribe got overwhelmed by those that made it freely available .
Females , following an ancient imperative , would bring sick infants to the friendly neighborhood clinic .
The Matriarchal-Medical societal group outbred all others . And language was essential to the information transmission .
Argh!!
A bunch of doctors huddling together and exchanging jargon is the origin of language. The jargon was expanded to include terms for social competition for resources and status . Language was born in all its glory .
Note that the invention of Peace
(See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “The origins of war and Peace”)
is a logical consequence of the above scenario during a stress episode like Toba .
Not to mention the College / University idea . Which morphed into Organised Religion .
The Dark Side .
The Rite of Passage (ie to qualify to be seen as human and worthy of procreation ) was an invention simultaneous with the invention of Peace . Youths who could not subordinate their impulses (to fairness , pain , boredom ) to the society , were expelled from the procreational pool , or even killed .
This mechanism (meme-structure) is still active today . (Flunked Varsity ? You’re drafted.) Can’t stand the fraternity initiation ? You are not human . Go flip burgers .
This works fine as long as the governing society is in charge . But by expelling it’s mutants , the society builds up a pool resentful beings of various degrees of humanity.
A sudden change (climate , plague , technology , etc) reduces the defenses of the original system sufficiently to bring about a revolution
Ie the climatic stabilization about 12 900 years ago that made profitable agriculture possible .
4. Snakes .
The alert reader would have noticed that a reliable , sensitive temperature sensor is lacking in the human sensorium . The most sensitive ones are in the elbows and the back of the knees , and these hardly lend themselves to easy usage .
So they bred snakes . Remember , these are the people that domesticated through selective breeding all our present domesticated species .
Snakes then would have been the very first domesticated species .
A living thermometer .
The infra-red sensors of snakes are more sensitive than present thermometers used in hospitals .
The specially bred snakes would have been bred not only for thermo-sensitivity , but for chemo-sensitivity as well .
The forked-tongue could detect not only breakdown products of illnesses exuded through the skin or breath , but location as well . (That’s why it’s forked.)
A basket of specialized snakes would enable a medical practitioner of the era
70 000 – 12 900 BC to give first level medical care equivalent to that of country clinic in our era . Diagnostics would have been superior , since specialized snakes would be doing this . Think programmed bio-chips .
Problem cases would be referred to the local College center .
Poisonous snakes was bred for medicinal aspects of their poisons (still being done today) .
So where are these snakes today ?
Traces of their genetic material should be found in garden snakes in Western Europe .
Obviously , nobody has looked for genetic bottlenecks from this viewpoint .
So this is a verifiable test .
Evidence of deliberate breeding (especially in mitochondrial snake DNA ) should be found . It is doubtful that really highly specialized snakes could survive in the wild (think feral Jersey cow or Merino) , but some would have gotten lucky . Their genetic traces should be traceable .
Cultural remnants :
The Caduceus is a cultural remnant . (Intertwined snakes is still the Western symbol of medicine .) Not bad for a symbol about 30 000 years old .
Legends , statues and inscriptions of dragons .
Bible : Eden . The snake got the starring role as the baddie , since the victors wrote the history books .
Also note Isis , purging of Ireland of snakes , Feng Shui , etc
Spirals : in rock engravings , etc . Which way does a snake coil up ?
Midwives .
The memes for this civilization is coiled up inside the one set of humans that had to survive : the midwives .
Remember , they thought biologically . The concepts of seeds inside reproducing systems came naturally to them .
The Matriarchs had thousands of years to see their demise coming and to plant seeds
Ho-ho-ho !
The New World Order is guaranteed to be completely different from the Bilderbirger vision .
So , there were some good ones matriarchs and some bad ones .
The good ones tried to ensure the survival of what was good in their civilization .
The bad ones tried to ensure their dominance .
The ensuing civil wars destroyed almost everything .
Most of the good got thrown out with the bad .
The planet is littered with the ruins of their buildings , bioforms and still-active
bio- weapon systems .
Some meme markers that have survived the wars :
Bio-warfare vs numbers . Fear the disease-ridden stranger . If you are not for us , you are against us . Any writing or symbol is dangerous , since it can contaminated with mind-altering vectors by touching it .
Some remnants of these have survived in central-europe : psychotic and schizophrenic inducing chemicals in basic foodstuffs like rye (ergot fungi) . Some very localized near the original labs .
(One particular variant of psychosis inducing behavioural change organisms was localized within about 50 km radius in central Europe : symptoms : fear of persecution : paranoia with very definite cut-off points . A weapon .)
Your attention is drawn to plasmodium induced behaviour changes where the carriers are cats (and dogs as well) .
This would be a civilizing influence in a mild form ( taking risks by trusting ) , but a mind-control form in a strong form (trust unconditionally) . (Oxytocin stimulation)
A horrible thought is that the sites of the Nazi extermination camps (and the very idea) came from people picking up extermination bio-weapon contamination from old weapon sites . Note that the Nazi camps are on a line that would be a natural defensive line about 9 000 years ago .
Old weapons that kill and kill again .
Why the sudden sanity in the late twentieth century ?
Acid rain .
The vectors of madness were in the fungi (forest rhizomes) in the ground .
The weaponized mind-altering fungi , bacteria and viruses were obviously spread as widely as possible over the defensive lines . The ones that could survive thousands of years would be in the old fungi structures underground . These (because they were carrying a non-survival payload) were the first to die in acid-rain .
Remember , they thought like biologists .
They would not pick up a rock and bash you on the head . They would breed some organism that makes you vulnerable to their memes . You then would pick up a rock and bash their enemies ‘ heads in .
Can these organisms recover ?
Of course . They doing so now . See the latest history .
Why did this civilization nearly vanish ?
(See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com “The origins of war and Peace” , “Costs” , “Nazca” , etc)
Your attention is drawn to the putative small comet impact on North America about 12 900 years ago . See New Scientist 26 May 2007 “Firestorm from space wiped out prehistoric Americans.”
This resulted in a short-term planetary climatic stability
(alas , now coming to an end ).
The resulting climatic stability led to usable , profitable , large-scale agriculture .
This led to an explosion in human numbers .
The Matriarchy tried to keep the lid on . Things got ugly on both sides .
The sub-human mutants (partially our ancestors ) won and extirpated their enemies . The late bronze-age cataclysm was but the end stages of a 7 000 year old clash of memes , and was correspondingly bitter.
Think Paris Hilton vs Bill Gates .

There is some good news and some bad news .

The Good News:
http://spaceweather.com/
SOLAR FLARE: on Sunday morning at 1145 UT, an active region on the sun's western limb unleashed a strong M3-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the flash of extreme ultraviolet radiation
Although the blast site was not directly facing Earth, radiation from the explosion nevertheless ionized Earth's upper atmosphere. This altered the propagation of radio signals around Europe, where it was high-noon at the time of the flare.
Hence the problems with Skype , wrongfully ascribed to increased magma activity .
We are not facing an Extinction Level Event due to planetary magma activity .
The Bad News :
Major magma derived earthquakes are still on track for Western USA and Mideast Europe . Shit . Now we have to worry about the SuperVolcano at Campo Flegri (NE of Naples) This is like Yellowstone . The magma chambers have to be ripped open and vented in the least harmful direction . The Med in this case . Worse than Santorini
Then there are the supervolcanos in India and Siberia .
Hopefully the effect won't stretch that far . But a rapid response would be needed.
A really difficult call .
Unless the human race is very lucky , millions are going to die in the next week .
But most will survive .

Don't you wish you had a working one now ?
Increased magma activity has been recorded all over the planet .
Skype
Calls over Skype had a reverboratory effect (on 3 Sep 2011) , with lots of service dropping .
Caused by Symmetrical time-retardation with lots of packet degradation .
But there is no anomalous Solar activity . This leaves anomalous Terran activity . The only thing that can have this sort of effect is disturbance in the magma plumes on a planetary scale .
Geologically , Europe is like the face of an old woman who has never heard of botox . (with apologies to Gaia)
If there are major disturbances in Europe , Verde is almost certain to go .
Vesuvius , Etna , Hekla , Rift valley will erupt .
Expect major eruptions in Arctic and Antarctic, with accelerated ice-melting and possible ice-surges .
Merde .
What humans can do :
Use nukes to remove major dangers like Yellowstone , Verde , Antarctica , Greenland , Iceland . Hope that this will relieve magma pressure on heavily populated areas .
Get your useless academics to focus less on in-fighting and more on solving the problem .
Pray .
Sadly , I think that Gaia is simply tired of humans . (The trigger of this whole episode is the rapid melting of the icecaps , resulting in longitudinal expansion of the magma tubes .)
Humans are about to join the dinosaurs .

Synopsis :
Some effects of virtual tail usage .
Discussion :
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Tails and psychopaths" Sep 2011-09-04
It sort of swung at me from nowhere .
Points to ponder would be childhood developmental intervention effects once hyper- or hypocultural biases are determined .
TransCranial Magnetic Stimulation is a possible tool .
Tail-configurations as a sign-language for Click
Juvenile transgressions of a hypocultural nature to be sentenced to a term of SecondLife in a fixed avatar with a tail , with rewards for using tail .
Expect major effects on musical talents .
I can go on and on .
But some basic research needs to be done .
But there are probably already suburbs in SecondLife for tail users (Furry subculture)
Humans , as usual , will tinker with the engine while pedal-to-the-metal .
Let's hope they can keep their tails out of the gears .

Tails and Psychopaths.
Tails and Psychopaths .
Andre Willers
1 Sep 2011
Synopsis :
Apes traded tails for culture .
Pathologies at neural level resulted in hypoculture (psychopathy , sociopathy) or hyperculture (autism , Aspergers ,extreme shyness).
This suggests diagnosis and therapy at neural and virtual levels .
Discussion :
Briefly , the neurons controlling the tail became mirror neurons , mirroring actions of other proto-monkeys . This enabled the proto-ape to mirror the others.
This is Culture . But , this meant loss of the tail from evolutionary pressure .
The location of these Tail nerve-nexi are known .
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Why are you not an octopus" Jun 2011
Diagnosis :
Tail nerve-nexi can be measured by fMRI , indicating hypoculture or hyperculture .
Therapy:
1.Virtual :
Imagine having a prehensile tail . Use it . There are templates that activate . Extremes are ameliorated . (Cf "Furries" sub-culture)
2.Real .
Dock the tail (like with aggressive dogs:bulldogs , Dobermans,etc) . This enables some measure of domestication .
Or control it (stallions or S&M extremely violent human apes ) . The butt-syndrome . Attempts by hypoculture individuals to become more "normal" .
3.Warning:
Combining Real and Virtual can be hazardous to your health .
Converting a psychopath's Tail nerve-nexi to mirror-neurons is challenging ,to put it mildly .
Isolating the Tail nerve-nexi of a hyperculture (autism , Asperger) can lead to a fluctuation of extremes . The prognosis is much better . A cure is possible .
4. Honeymoon Effect .
For Norm humans :
Imagine you have a prehensile tail . Entertwine it with your partner's tail in a prehensile fashion . Feel it .
Mirror neurons get amplified .
Very deep mechanisms kick in to enable and amplify empathy from mirror-neurons .
The effect is deeper than the short-term compulsions of "Love" or "Sex"
What a tail !

LA Big One Update
LA Big One Update
Andre Willers
26 Aug 2011
Synopsis :
The Big One for California is expected with epicenter at about 38 N , 126 W around September 5 , 2011 . In the sea , off Los Angeles . Expect big tsunamis .
Still on track.
Discussion :
I have had some comments that 126 W does not fit the model's prediction of 135 W
And that the latitude differs by 10 degrees with that of LA .
Sadly , this does not make much difference . This is not a fault quake .
Magma Plume Origin .
This means the whole ocean floor lifts . Triggering faults , as well as tsunamis .
The weakest fault nearest to 59 N , 135 W goes first , and the rest unzips in sequence .
The first seems to be at 38 N , 126 W , then down the longitude . Due to the fractured nature of Californian coast .
The land quakes could be worse , but the tsunamis will be bad .
The timing :
Sept 6, 2011 , about the 12h00-13h00 .
.Reverberation effects around planetary magma layers .There is a slight delay anti-spinward . (The triggering signature is the Colorado quake)
The extent is unknown . Lunar and Solar tidal fluxes of the magma has to be taken into account . About 22 hours later than prediction on Sept 5 , 2011 by my estimate .
Maximum probability at about 12h00- 13h00 on Sept 6 , 2011 . (when atmospheric pressure at lowest .)
I will only be too glad if I am wrong .

"By the sweat of thy brow thy will earn thy bread"
Synopsis :
Earth needs fixing .
Debt is the accumulation of Promises-to-Pay : a form of capital .
Combine the two to solve both problems .
Discussion :
The largest pools of skilled labour and per-capita debt are in the West
(as discussed previously – see http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Financial Crisis " for months of 2011 , especially 21 Jun 2011 .)
The rather outdated Market Mechanism can still be used to match needs (Earth) and resources (Debt capital , humans) , with sufficient margins to fuel intermediary catalysts (Agents , Banks) .
Convert debts into Green Bonds , use these for collateral to pay for fixing the Earth .
Increased productivity following from fixing the planet will offset and later surpass debt-inputs . But there will be a lag dip . Luckily , there is a lag built-in to debt mechanisms due to the nature of exponential systems .
Summary :
The Carrot Scenario :
Everyone will have to work hard , but not starve , but then become filthy rich .
The Stick Scenario :
If they do not . They will starve , with high probability of extinction due to resource wars between artificial distinction of haves and have-nots .
Ironic note :
In the Carrot scenario , overpopulation does not matter . The more hands the merrier .
The only scenario that gives a survival chance to Christian and Muslim Extremists .

Immortals
Immortals.
Andre Willers
24 Aug 2011
Synopsis :
Every biological population on the planet has a small percentage of immortals .This is the equivalent of long-range time-wise communication tendrils in the small-world model .
Discussion :
Ageing was assumed to be function of number of iterations in age . This has been disproved experimentally .
See "NewScientist " 6 Aug 2011 p 43 " Life begins at 90"
Ageing can be halted and even reversed .
The normal procedure is evolutionary , dependant on the smallest maximum age of reproduction . In other words , an epigenetic mechanism using histone wrapping . The system watches other parts .
This can be spoofed .
You can halt ageing , since the mechanisms are already there .
Reversing them is slightly harder .
Ironic . These mechanisms will become irrelevant as we go into the Singularity .
You want to live forever in this decrepid locale ?

The California Big Earthquake
Earthquakes and Volcanoes IV

24 Aug 2011
Synopsis :
The Big One for California is expected with epicenter at about 38 N , 126 W around September 5 , 2011 . In the sea , off Los Angeles . Expect big tsunamis .
Discussion :
See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com "Earthquakes and Volcanoes II" 27 Feb 2010
It was argued that major quakes will occur at 30 degree Longitude due to spiral magma formations in the magma .
Note sequence of experienced quakes :
38 N 78 W magnitude 5.8 24/8/2011 Virginia quake
40 N 107 W magnitude 3.1 11/8/2011 Colorado quake
The next in sequence is
40 N 135 W magnitude 8.8 to 9.1 Sept 5 , 2011 LA Big One .
Then Hawaian Islands .
"Quote:Expectations : from "Earthquakes and Volcanoes II" 27 Feb 2010
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 "
Effects :
Surprisingly little if sufficient warning is given .
Lessons from Japan ,
Tsunami's are the main threat . And nuclear reactors' cooling systems have to be hardened .
Three big threats :
1, What if Yellowstone Super-volcano goes ?
The main threat is pumice clouds . North America uninhabitable .
Humans now have sufficient clout to prevent a worst-case scenario .
Use nuclear charges to rip open the Yellowstone magma chambers to the north-west . Discharge the volcanic ash and pumice into the arctic gyre .
2, What if Verde Islands go ?
Threat is 60 meter tsunamis on coasts of America , Europe , England .
Once again , vaporize the island using nukes . A dust cloud is survivable , tsunamis's on this scale are not .
3.What if US government takes no precautionary measures and disaster happens ?
Instead of emerging stronger than ever , the state fragments . Nuclear civil war spreads . Humans become extinct . Circa 2020 AD in this scenario .
You have two weeks .

Financial Terrorism
Financial Crisis: 18 Aug 2011 : Financial Terrorism
Andre Willers
18 Aug 2011
Synopsis :
Financial terrorists are suborning techniques of Financial Raiders to destabilize world markets .
Discussion :
Financial Raiders :
They used short-selling and rumour spreading to manipulate prices on Aug 3 and Aug 4 , 2011 . They like to artificially depress the markets during the middle of the week , allowing for a rebound during Friday to offload their exposure over the weekend .
They try to ride and drive the markets down , making money by using the freedom of the markets .
Financial Terrorists :
Events on Thu , Aug 18 , 2011 are different . Financial Raiders attempting the same trick have been hijacked by Financial Terrorists , aborting the recovery and pushing the downswing .
Counter-measures :
Democracies have strong measures against Terrorism , Financial or otherwise .
Market Freedom does not mean the freedom to shout "FIRE!" and rob those fleeing at the exits .
Riot Spillover :
There already has been riot spillover in the UK . It is starting in India . USA is next .
Then China and Russia .
This must be seen as a concerted attack , not a market correction .
The market mechanisms allowing this has been partially shut (ie limited ban on short-selling) , but much more is needed . The whole Hedge-fund and futures markets have become fellow-travellers of the Financial Terrorists .
Tragedy of the Commons Perception :
The Terrorists have created a perception via the media that cooperation is dead and it is every man for himself . Make money out of the decaying carcass .
This would have been true if not for the Social Media .
Note the Sweeping-up spontaneous organizations in the UK , Egypt , Libya , etc .
Cooperation is rallying faster than destruction .
Leaders should hurry to get in front of the people they are leading .

Super tastes and evolutionary restraint.
Super tastes and evolutionary restraint.
Andre Willers
14 Aug 2011
Synopsis:
The spectrum of bad tastes is mirrored by the spectrum of good to super good tastes .
Bad tastes are automatically self-limiting . Super good tastes are limited by epigenetic switches to protect host organisms .
Discussion:
Another episode in the Plant-Herbivore Wars .
Good tastes (read smells as well) only persist if they have some reproductive significance . If it too overwhelming , the smeller gets eaten in too large numbers .
So , an evolutionary restraint develops .
Plants thus have genes that code for super tastes , but do not express them . Now add inter-plant competition and random variation . A huge variety and number of gradients of super tastes develop .
Quorum mechanisms develop .
Plants sit and watch each other .
Human cultivation activates some better tastes in competition (why mono-cultures do not taste as good )
Mother's little helpers :
Bacteria and yeasts are tied into the system as clients of the plants .
This has profound implications for gut flora .
I estimate that 1/3 of 1/3 (~ 11%) of sensory taste is derived from gut feedback .
The inferences for the immune system are obvious .
Many bacteria (at least 1/3) are programmed to aid plants in restoration after severe environmental stress . They need a super taste to be eaten and replicate . To do that , they remove some earlier wrappers around the DNA structure , allowing expression of super taste DNA . ( A purely epigenetic mechanism)
This knowledge enables us to make super tastes to order by manipulating stressors .
Diseases
I suspect , but proof is needed , that many systemic diseases like diabetes can be suspended by super-tastes . The super-taste chemicals should have profound effects on insulin permeability of cell-walls , as well as mitochondria (of course)
An example you can do :
Super-rolls :
1.Start with bought yeast baked rolls . (Even 180 C baking temperatures will leave enough hardened bacterial kernels and epigenetic markers)
2.Freeze the roll (about minus 5 C normal freezer)
3.Microwave frozen roll for about 60 seconds at 900 W . Note that this is not equivalent to thawing . Microwaving gives internal bacteria a huge relative advantage to competitors from the outside – an information block .
4.Stand for about 6 hours after halving and smearing with butter.
(This is the crucial stage . Fermentation resumes with super taste DNA being expressed . The butter layer on the inside captures the essence . This concentrate is what the mouth tastes .)
5. The bacteria "thinks" it just went through a giant meteor impact (baking) , then a nuclear winter (freezing) , then a rapid thaw (microwaving) with intense competition coming – ie outside bacteria . It needs to be very appealing – ie tasty to maximize reproduction .
6. Varying the ingredients and analyzing the butter layer will give new and super tastes . This can be automated on a computer chip .
7. Sourdough will give a larger genetic variance , but baker's dough will give more of a selective pressure towards Taste .
Rull Taste
Are Rull taste compulsions possible ? Gross ones , yes (Just follow the recipe above). Fine ones , no .The chaotic paths are too broad .
But Metamaterial tastes/scents are possible that can compel behaviour down single neuron pathways .
Design-a-taste anyone ?

Vertical migration in the ocean between each breath recycles nutrients into the sunlit layers of the ocean , stimulating phytoplankton-krill-whale positive feedback cycle . The bigger the whale , the more krill , the more whales , etc
Discussion :
See "Givers of Life" by Steve Nicol in NewScientist 9 Jul 2011 p36 .
This is an excellent overview by an actual researcher .
Critical points :
1.Nutrients tend to sink after concentration into plant cells . Small animal faeces like krill sink by 100 – 1000 metres a day . The thermocline acts as a trapdoor , excacerbating the effect in summer or global warmaing .
2.Mammals have to breathe at the surface . This forces a vertical migration with each breath , mixing things up in at least three ways :
2.1 Wake turbulence and Coanda Effect (Google it) . Large volumes of water are transported up and down . It is part of whale's reduction to water-flow resistance . The bigger the whale , the better .
2.2 Nutrient scavenging from the depths and faeces plumes at surface . Size helps .
2.3 Floating reservoirs of nutrients in krill are eaten and excreted as faeces plumes in the sunlit zones , preventing loss of vital nutrients like iron . This stimulates phytoplankton , which stimulates krill , which stimulates whales . The bigger the whales , and the more of them , the better .
Social effect and mini-ecology :
A pod of whales use their sonar calls to coordinate their vertical migrations to create a nutrient rich mini-ecology around the pod . They farm the sea .
Other species benefit . Fishing is good .
Note that the minimum survival size is a pod , and the techniques are learned .
Think of the pod as a farming village in 3-dimensional oceanic terms .
A lonely whale is a hungry whale
The feedback effect here would be as the cube of the number of whales and their size . A very strong effect , leading quickly to large numbers and maximum possible sizes .
This was indeed the case as late as 17th century Whale , fish and wild bird populations were about 100 times larger than at present . Google it .
The Fly-by effect :
Whale pod ecologies moving past a coast would have significant effects on local crustaceans and inshore fishing .
The same is applicable for coral reefs . Blanching is be ameliorated by temperature-layer mixing .
The Australian Great Barrier reef can be saved through whale pods doing a fly-by
Coral atolls the same .
Without them there would be a desert .
Whales seems to have been the key-stone eco species .
The Bad News :
This seems bad , since humans reduced whale numbers so drastically .
The Good News :
1.The feedback effect is very strong (cubed effect) and can be applied per pod .
2.Pod-package : similar to human civilization package .
Symbiotic and commensal species of fish , phytoplankton , krill , dolphins , orcas , can be used to accelerate repopulation , under strict human protection .
3.Commercial Demand :
Whale Pods and their symbiotic humans can negotiate their own terms for ecological beneficiation for coral islands , fisheries , barrier reefs , etc .
In a warming world , the Whale Union will be a powerful force .
Whales and Dinosaurs :
Whales are the largest animals that ever lived .
Sea dinosaurs did not need to breathe air . Hence no vertical migration .
Hence no feedback effect for size .
Hippo's
Hippo's are a branch of whales (from long ago) . They also create a mini-ecology in their pool by stirring things up . Especially in the dry season . The pools are stagnant . The only thing stirring up nutrients are hippo's . The other species depend on them . The eco-system collapses without them .
Which is why humans put up with bad-tempered hippo's in Africa . They were essential to a functioning ecosystem .
(Or , to put it more elegantly , the tribe that killed them perished .)
Which makes me wonder why they were not domesticated .
Maybe an attempt was made around the Makgadigadi Sea , and what we have are the descendants of the untamable ones . Similar to buffalo and kwagga .

The Human-Whale interaction .
There is fairly good evidence that a crucial human bottle-neck experience took place about 190 000 to 200 000 years ago on the Agulhas plains during an ice-age .The only thing enabling them to survive was the annual whale pods flying by , fertilizing the Agulhas Banks .
This survives to this day . The locals are fanatical in protecting the whales . No large scale whaling has ever taken place . They have long forgotten the reasons for it , but like any good religious proscription , it persists .
Whale watching is a major industry today .
Local South Africans and others gather to watch the phallic plumes of whale-breath spume new life into the banks .
Every time the whale pods go by , the poor over-fished abalone , crayfish and other fisheries are invigorated and struggle on .
Having a whale of a time .

Financial Crisis 7 Aug 2011 : Disguised Defaults
Financial Crisis 7 Aug 2011 : Disguised Defaults
Andre Willers
7 Aug 2011
"The Truth is out there" X-files
Synopsis :
Defaults disguised as rollovers , decreased interest rates , Quantitive easing or simply more debt means a smaller series of income streams in future . Stock Markets are designed to pick these up and register the abrupt decrease in the Present Value of these income streams . This translates as a sudden decrease in share prices , ie a crash
Discussion :
This is why the stock markets fell sharply on 3 to 5 Aug 2011 .
The USA default on Aug 2 , 2011 was averted as far as the banking system was concerned , but the stock valuations picked it up . Prices adjusted accordingly .
Panic set in . Etc , etc .
Estimate of size of fall :
The present value of stocks should fall by at least the amount of default .
The markets are interconnected , so must be seen on global scale for a macro-argument like this .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stock_exchanges
Capitalizations of world exchanges ~ $ Tr 120
Defaulted debts USA , EU ~ $ Tr 15
Expected stock price fall of 15/120 ~ 12.5 %
Fall already occurred (at Aug 7, 2011) ~ 7 %
Fall expected to occur week 9-12 Aug 2011 ~ 5%
When is it safe to get back into the water ?
Not while the DOW > 11 100 (= 12 700 x (1-0.125)
Wait till it falls below , then come in on the uptick and take your chances .
Stress between banking system and stock exchanges .
As seen above , the shareholders took their lumps . But the banking sector still is overvalued by 12% . They cannot forgive debt (by law) . The only default for the small individual is bankruptcy and homelessness .
In essence , the banking sector continues to collect debts that has already been paid .
This is seen as unfair . All sorts of hardwired mechanisms kick in .
This is a recipe for revolution . (Ask Hosny Mubarak.)
USA is the most vulnerable state (then China) :
Quantitive Easing III without small-debt forgiveness and reform of the banking system will mean the end of the Union that George Washington , Lincoln and FDR (cf New Deal) worked for . (Bad news for the rest of the planet.)
Social media (like Facebook) is the new element that prevents a replay of the end of the Roman Republic .
On a personal note :
I find the succession of talking heads on the media saying that they do not understand the stock market crash sickening .
The stock market system is working exactly as advertised , discounting lies .
The King has no clothes , but for a modest profit they will sell him a fig-leaf .
And singing lessons for the horse .
