(FB 1547695098 Timestamp) REFACTORING: The process of restructuring existing computer code to improve the nonfunctional attributes of the software (its ‘factors’), without changing its external behavior. (Usually caused by centralizing common functionality (subtracting), standardizing readability or performance (transforming), or increasing defensibility against error (adding) Antonym: REFUCKTORING: The process of taking a well-designed piece of code and, through a series of small, reversible changes, making it completely unmaintainable by anyone except yourself. (Usually caused by confusing code parsimony with compiled or bytecode(p-code) parsimony, removing all semantic (human readable) utility.) (via James Santagata)

RELIGION VS IDEOLOGY VS PHILOSOPHY VS LOGIC VS MATHEMATICS VS SCIENCE (worth repeating) â A RELIGION consists of any set of ideas of justification which require belief in, testimony to, or action according to, one or more falsehoods as a cost of inclusion and use. â AN IDEOLOGY consist of any set of ideas that agitate, motivate, or inspire achievement of political ends under majoritarian (monopoly) democracy. An ideology need not be internally consistent externally correspondent, or existentially possible. It need only motivate individuals to act in furtherance of policy. â A PHILOSOPHY consists of any set of internally consistent ideas of decidability which justify pursuit of personal preferences or group goods. â A LOGIC consists of any deflationary grammar of decidability that assists in the falsification by competition of one or more constant relations between states. (Note that one proves nothing logically other than internal consistency, because all premises of external correspondence are forever contingent.) â MATHEMATICS consists of a deflationary grammar of decidability consisting purely of competition between positional names under the preservation of ratios providing a single axis of decidability: position, but in N dimensions, providing commensurability between any set of positional relations of any number of dimensions. â A SCIENCE consists of any set of ideas that provide decidability independent of personal preference or group goods, by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit, by the use of measurement and record of actions â demonstrations versus words. â NATURAL LAW of RECIPROCITY (Tort), was produced scientifically (empirically) by trial and error, through the resolution of disputes across personal preferences, group goods, norms, traditions, and intuitions, cumulating always and everywhere that decidability is provided by property, and property consists in the demonstrated investment of human action or inaction anything whether genetic, material, behavioral, or informational.

There is but one law and it is reciprocity. The FINDINGS OF LAW in the common law constitute application of reciprocity to disputes, and the recording of those findings as advice to all subsequent jurists. 6 – The Law (reciprocity) 4 – Findings of Law (application) 3 – Regulation (enforcement) 2 – Legislation (political command) 1 – Command.

(FB 1548172938 Timestamp) “TERNARY LOGIC OF COOPERATION” In propertarianism, we don’t start with morality. We start with needing an incentive not to engage in parasitism and predation which for the strong is the preferable state of affairs. The only incentive possible is reciprocity because of the long term gains of scale. Everyone else starts with the presumption that cooperation at any cost is a good. We start with the presumption that only reciprocity is a good. We are right and they are parasites.
