Proposition: Technology is NOT applied Science. Sci/Tech are sibling disciplines. That Tech uses empirical evidence, research, and math – doesn’t make them sciences.  Science’s objectives and contexts are comprehensions. Tech’s objectives are designing/creating real systems. Science uses instrumentation from Tech. Tech uses Science’s formulations of processes. One person can be both scientist and technologist (engineer)….

At this stage in my life, I am in very serious consideration of WHAT TO DO NEXT.  Larry is in rapid decline, but may live another decade. What Larry is now unable to do will eventually  be reported elsewhere in detail. Larry’s limitations appear to have released nuet’s emergence (within Larry/nuet), but the new insights…

WONDER of WONDERS Just returned from viewing the movie ARRIVAL, and was blown away. The alt-time theme of the movie {as I interpreted it} is an example of a hypothesis about Temporal Texture & Feedpast Bootstrapping that I developed a few decades ago. Actually, my interest and research in TIME or alternative models of temporality…

[repeated] Maybe we must begin treating “world events” with the same care and logic as physics was forced to do when researching the not-directly observable (quantum worlds). All the great variety of expressed interpretations of reality are, in a sense, “real” – in that it is these inner, personal “wrlds” that determine choice and behavior,…

I highly recommend you explore two radically contrasting realities, both in sharp contrast with MSNBC and CNN: Lou Dobbs Tonight and RT (Russia Today).  A must for short, but periodic viewing. To actually experience what committed Trump supporters experience themselves – I highly recommend occasional viewing the the TV news program, LOU DOBBS TONIGHT,  on…

THESE ESSAYS ARE POSTED IN EARLY DRAFT FORM; EXPECT FUTURE EDITING. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO COMMENT ON THEM. There is no rationale, as yet, to the order of postings. I speculate that the future will cite 2016-17 as the beginning of a new era: temporarily labeled BT for Beyond Trump. {This is a variation on…

{Many url references to chaos and disorder at the end} Once I interpreted/created a useful distinction between two concepts, which I labeled “chaos” and “disorder”.  I remember a motivating quote, related to the Greek origins of the word: “Chaos is the font of order“: Order emerges from Chaos; whereas disorder is the result of the…

An hour after listening (lying in bed to NPR) to The Donald’s Inaugural promise of tyranny, I discovered the entrails and hair of my elderly, personally dedicated cat, Tucker. A valued member of my family has been taken from our backyard!  Gift or Omen? I will comment, briefly, about The Donald’s short speech and possible…

All we observe about the world beyond our immediate, perceptual field, are reports by other humans, processed to be viewed on screen or paper, or listened to, in our immediate environments. Almost all of this “information” is now digital at some stage. Anything digital can be counterfeited, faked, warped at levels of sophistication (given resources,…

FASCISM CORPORATE CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT dictatorship not required Corporations have engineered the definition of fascism to highlight  governmental authoritarian rule, usually with a individual dictator – with implication that corporations are also under the dictator’s rule. This is not the case, except – sometimes – at the end of rule. The corporations manipulate the dictatorial…
