    P-DECIDABILTY IS A DANGEROUS IDEA!

    by Duke Newcomb

    This decidability is a dangerous idea.

    If the you-know-whos were to figure out the stuff we talk about and what we really mean, they’d SHUT IT DOWN!

    Decidability may be more of an antipode to parasitism than reciprocity. A decidable institution could hit such an escape velocity that it would shake off or burn off parasites along the way. It could not just counter the small hats’ group strategy as enforced reciprocity does, it could foreclose on its use.

    Perhaps that’s wishful thinking on my part, but mein Gott, this idea seems highly radioactive and long half-lived.

    A WOMAN’S OBSERVATION OF PROPERTARIANISM

    —“Well, as a woman that’s been observing Propertarianism over the last few years I can say that holding my interest was never really the issue. For me it was a question of being too drawn in, to the point of distrusting my own judgement, leading to withdrawal. I mostly just found it all too overwhelming…like being caught in an intellectual flash-flood that was hell bent on carving out a new course for humanity. My presence felt inappropriate somehow.

    There is a degree of masculinity within the group that’s certainly suffocating – you’re clearly aware of this and acknowledge that it is a necessary part of building up the organisation, however.

    I don’t think Propertarianism really needs a female presence and any attempts and making it more accommodating will likely weaken the organisation’s capacity to attract young, enterprising males.”— Lisa Outhwaite

    Smart woman. A rare intellectually honest one.

    DUKE NEWCOMB EXPLAINS DECIDABILITY

    by Duke Newcomb (important)

    This notion of decidability, as you say, strikes me as one of your most important contributions. By decidability, I take it you mean a diffuse decision architecture that allows people at various levels to make decisions that are consistent with the intent of the program. It is a kind of information architectonics.

    If you could develop a geometry for decidability, that REALLY allows for analytically testing which notions are decidable by the human agent before deployment, THAT is the pathway to power. Or at least part of it. It doesn’t do the work of building an organization. You have to do that with ideas, influence, charisma, &tc. But once you have an organization and a defined and consistent decidability architecture you can quickly transform organization into institution. And those economy of scale efficiency gains (everyone doing their right proper part rowing the boat) would allow you to outcompete institutional rivals.

    I think I’m starting to see the core logic of your analytic system. It is this Darwinian metaphor for selection of information that Dawkins uses. By invoking this kind of post-Popperian notion of falsification as key lever of the epistemology, you are using competitive falsification as an evolutionary selection mechanism to get to better phenotypes of truth.

    How progressive!

    Basically, you aim to create multilayered sieves for truth out of all of these different layers of thought: geometry, philosophy, law, economics; with each doing its part to. Operational analysis as sieving process. T

    he biggest problem I see is that each of these disciplines is at different levels of technical maturity. Many disciplines are in a pre-Copernican Revolution state, so they’re immature and will give you variable performance.

    I suppose the best you can do is put more mature disciplines at more fundamental levels so they do more of the work filtering out falsehoods and the less mature disciplines, like economics, can just kind of pick the fat off the bones.

    (OMG. Thank you. yes. Thats far better than I can say it. -CD )

  • SEE THE STUPID SH-T I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH? The world is full of these idiots. —

    SEE THE STUPID SH-T I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH?

    The world is full of these idiots.

    —“Curt Doolittle You wrote <<The only thing entropy depends upon is a difference in charge>> As soon as you admit entropy depends on anything, you have already disproven the statement you are trying unsuccessfully to defend – viz. “Entropy is the prime mover.” Game over.”—Prem Prayojan

    That’s false right?

    Entropy is the name we give to the equilibration of differences in charges. Ergo it is a tautology (same by different words).

    Differences in charges exist. which tells us nothing about change. entropy tells us the consequence of change.

    Or we could say “the process in time we observe as entropy describes the state within time of a difference in charges, where all differences in charges are caused by a competition with other differences in charges that are organized differently.

    At present we deduce that a difference in fundamental charges is producing a consequent difference in fundamental charges that we call quantum fields, and a temporary density of that quantum field we call a particle. And by repeating this process of a difference in the pattern of charges, particles form combinations we call atoms or elements, elements form chemicals ,chemicals form molecules, molecules that include carbon produce biochemical molecules, biochemical molecules form proteins, proteins produce molecules necessary for cells, cells produce other cells, cells produce organs, organs produce organisms, organisms produce nervous systems, nervous systems produce memories, memories produce predictions, predictions product choices, and there we go. The entirety of the ‘grammar’ of the universe is – similar to binary or ternary logic – a difference in charges, whose change we call entropy: the tendency of all charges to equilibrate from order caused by differences in charges, to the disorder – the minimum difference in charges possible.

    So. As usual, I have just demonstrated the difference between verbal-linguistic sophisms made possible by imprecision by loose association permitting false deduction, induction, and abduction, versus verbal-linguistic testimony made possible by precision using operationalism, limiting false deduction, induction, and abduction.

    You are desperate. I understand. You have malinvested in a falsehood. You take pride (self image) in the explanatory power of your malinvestment, and you obtain undoubtably some social status by using such explanatory power of your malinvestment with other weak or dishonest minded people.

    But to anyone reading this it’s rather obvious that you just engaged in not only an error, not only a fallacy, but in a fraud, and a fraud perpetrated by sophism. Like the owner of a boat you have invested in a hole in the water into which you must throw further investment to maintain the prior malinvestment.

    I understand. I sympathize with your loss.

    But you chose poorly.
