An Intellectual Sunday Brunch for June 4th, 2006:
mx sez:
All is fine analyzing the game patterns of individual humans, major and minor Gods and Goddesses, of groups and their wars, nature, all the 42-stuff...
Objectives, purposes, rules, all cool... goals, subgoals, supergoals, stop!!! so what's the ultimate supergoal of playing all these games?
Here is a principle to shed light on the structure of the games, and all of them, ahem...
The Meme-Amplifier-Theorem (Sandor, 2006)
========================================
The top-level supergoal of any observable process in this Universe consists of obtaining a maximum resonance to one, and only one, super-energy.
Notes:
- a local process ends exactly when a local resonance is found
- a local process will a this point compete with other local games to dominate the next higher level of processes
- if the resonance obtained is sufficiently close to the original super-energy, the process will auto-destruct (duplication theorem)
- auto-destruction occurs via the phenomenon of the 'resonance catastrophy'
- the auto-destruction can be an implosion or an explosion
- implosions do not leave ANY trace
- explosions, even though destroying the structure of the original meme-transporter, will infect parallel systems via its exploded fragments
- a process that ultimately will end in an implosion is called a 'destructive game'... More >

Today's new featured entry in Wikipedia is Transhumanism. a great summary with a huge number of links.
Since I'm not (yet) mainstream-avantgarde, my novel SF-series Logs of JD Flora is missing from the list of novels. Well...
The Logs, written in 1985, describe the strange path of a human who is first traveling in time, before becoming one with a computer system called SFYNX, and, along the way, ponders many of the questions addressed in the Wikipedia entry on Transhumanism.
What would feel like to be the mind of a computer? I still don't know... who would??

Reading the first chapters of the French translation of "Your personal archeype" (see [link] ) reminded me today of an additional possible definition of Ori: in Yoruba O-ri can also mean "the seer" or "witness".
The concept of the witness in the philosophy of Fa is profound, most notable in the praisename of its avatar Orunmila as "the only witness to creation, second only to Olodumare (the creator)".
So it would make a lot of sense to interpret the name "Orisha" not only using the original aramaic roots (Or=Light plus Isha=Being/Person) but also as "original witnesses".
There is another interesting clue: the Sanskrit word "rishi" has exactly the connotation of the "seer". Interestingly even the written symbol is a bit similar because of the 3-pronged letter for the magic sound "sh" and the i's added above.
But there is one bit more to say: More >

Lots of things to think about in Napoli/Napule/Naples.
For example, what is the relation between astrological charts and the archetypes of Ifa? Is the astro-map a key to the goals of the soul-part of man, in synch or out-of... with the goals of the spirit-part(s)? Parallel, mingling with each other? By chance or good luck matching in part, but sometimes not?
In any case, good topics for talks in hot nites in perhaps the craziest city of the world, only Bangkok comes close.
Got a new haircut, too, as one can see on the postcard-ready photo. My host wanted a photo but, then, he didn't want to be identified. Quite a problem. You can see my ingeniuos solution for yourself.
In any case, I learned a lot of Napoletean curses and got one hand-crafted by a master-curser for this very BLOG: "Chi vò male

Poor me!
Me feels like Goethe's Faust in the beginning act:
All the nice wheel spinning didn't save me from getting a parking ticket!
What's wrong with that picture?

One polarity, even though it has a dominate component, is always part of a manfestation containing all prime polarities. The most basic energy 'object' is pervading space and to form an axiomatic system must satisfy the Nordenholz Axioms (Scientologie, 1933). To be a minimal object in 3-D, it must be a tetrahedron (see Pythagoras) which is also a space-filler (see Buckminster Fuller Synergetics), necessary to completely pervade space.
The creation of the fourth point of the tetrahedron follows the spiral of a Phi (Fibonacci) function (see Dan Winter's illustration). As a more basic observation, it is here postulated that already the Nordernholz Axioms which describe the relations of basic triads of the Universe, follow a 2D projection of the Phi function.
The result of these contemplations is a structure ressembling the minimal 4-D projection into 3D space, also dubbed the Mayan Time Star (Steingrubner et alii, 1993). A crude depiction is given in the attached picture, the tetrahedrons pervade each other, of course).
To make sense, the sequence of the Dawson Odu-Wheels needed to be rotated regarding the virtual starting point of each wheel. This matrix solves a lot of problems while introducing surprisingly few ones.

Coincidentially, this arranges the Odu in rows intro the of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire elements and into the quadrants of Form Vs Essence and Solidity Vs Transparency at the same time (or in other words the intensity or solidity of manifestation). More >

GeZi posted some excellent thoughts about Cargo Cults. A frequent observation for me is the circumstance that the more distant cult members are from their original source, "the more they display the phenomenon of spiritual arrogance".
These days for me are days of contemplation and research, bringing the problem of the "bug of this Universe".... More >

Blissfully ignoring the recent spiritual (?) Papparazzi disclosures at [link], I meditate yet another time about the Credo (?) of Hermes:
Verum sine mendacio, certum et verissimum:
quod est inferius es sicut quod est superius,
et quod es superius es sicut quod est inferius,
ad perpetranda miracula rei unius.
Truth without lie, certain and absolutely true:
what is below is like what is above
and what is above is like what is below,
towards the insight of the wonders of the One Thing.

(The following article was first written exactly 5 years ago in Orlando, Florida. It didn't find any resonance with nobody, got lost in time, dunno about this rewrite. In any case, material for Polar Dynamics 2...)
Conditions of Existence, Elliot Waves, Fibonacci, and Odu Transitions
Much speculation was being done in the past about what would be the basic formula for the evolution of Life, Universe, and Everything, the main candidates being the number 42 and the number of the Pi relation. Both are mere numbers, an actual formula however would be much more than a single number or relationship. It should accurately describe the progression of evolution and not an observed relationship of dimensions AFTER its manifestation already occured.
Of course, there is the Fibonaccio number (another number), often confused with Pi like in a recent Hollywood movie, but, behind the abstract number, we can find the numeric progression of all growth in nature. Whether chicken farm populations or organic proportions, we can witness the validity of this formula in all of nature.
However, this formula, in its basic form, doesn't allow for the ... More >
