WHY UNDERSTANDING THE SEQUENCE OF SETS, MATH, AND OPERATIONS MATTERS TO YOU.
–“I started reading “Math and Computation” which isn’t on the NLI list, but often recommended by Curt. I have no CS background, so a lot is over my head. But I’m picking up about 80% of it. It’s pretty fun, even as an amateur. I guess the relevance to NLI is that there exist problems that are very difficult to solve even with a computer. But markets are like computers that can solve very complex problems.”– Daniel
Correct. Discretely computable atomic operations produce greater explanatory opportunity than continuous mathematical reductions So it’s more that unlike mathematics (continuous) and like computation (discreetness) markets identify reciprocal voluntary exchanges making use of the pricing system (time value of scarcity), by the discovery of mutual gains of time and as such continue the laws of nature (evolutionary computation of persistence, opportunity, innovation, adaptation) demonstrating the continuity between all physical, behavioral, evolutionary, and logical processes.
–“I finally finished Math and Computation. The last chapter (Epilogue) is where he ties it all together in plain English. I recommend the whole thing, but especially the last chapter.”–
–“”One of the broadest ways to informally define computation — indeed, the view that underpins the celebrated Church-Turing thesis (which is discussed more later), is as follows:
Computation is the evolution process of some environment, by a sequence of “simple, local” steps.”–
–“Here is a partial list of environments with such interacting parts, which in all cases can shed their physical characteristics and be viewed as transformations of pure information:
• Bits in a computer.
• Computers in a network.
• Atoms in matter.
• Neurons in the brain.
• Proteins in a cell.
• Cells in a tissue.
• Bacteria in a Petri dish.
• Deductions in proof systems.
• Prices in a market.
• Individuals in a population.
• Stars in galaxies.
• Friends on Facebook.
• Qubits in entangled states.”—
–“I got the spiritual epiphany by the end with the realization that all this computing stuff is just God and God’s laws and God’s own curiosity to understand Gods laws. God’s nature is algorithmic. So, spiritually it was ultimately a rewarding experience.”–
Clearly, Daniel Understands. 😉
Now, how do I say the same thing without ‘God’ for those of us who simply see ‘The Laws of the Universe”?

WHAT IS SCIENCE AND HOW DOES IT SCALE IN COMPLEXITY? (RE: “Thats Not Science!”)
(with links to our videos)
1. Science consists of producing testimony by compensating for human frailty in sensation, perception, auto-association, prediction, valuation, and cognition. We do so by some means of testing observables, whether external (instrumental) or internal (logically consistent).
2. The endpoint of all scientific research is the production of irreducible first principles (laws), where the spectrum of laws evolves from the mathematical (continuous descriptions) to categorical (consistent sets), to the computational (discreet operations). (Note that this might be hard for you to understand without an advanced education.)
3. The commonality(consistencies) between laws produces the first principle (ternary logic of evolutionary computation) of all existence (persistence), and construction from that first principle survives falsification both the first principle (vertical) and the resulting first principles and their applications (horizontal).
4. This hierarchy of first principles forms a universally commensurable value natural constructive logic of falsification across all domains. Conversely, we can enumerate the dimensions of possible testifiability (realism, naturalism, identity, consistency, constructability, correspondence, rational choice, coherence, completeness(full accounting) within stated limits) and falsify all possible truth claims utterable by man.
5. Constructability makes use of the ternary logic of behavior, that because sex differences are the result of cognitive bias differences, is rather simple consisting of sex differences in cognition, by the spatial and temporal division of labor, and the need for negotiation on agreement in order to identify survival to evolutionary opportunities.
6. Likewise, the much more complex ternary logic of the grammars (language), including sex differences in choice, negotiation, and lying, tells us how we try to ‘cheat’ (obtain discounts) on cooperation (parasitism, predation).
7. We can catalog those *grammars* (methods, techniques) including those of lying and how they are constructed from human cognitive biology, processes, biases.
8. This means we can, and have, ‘scienced’ both truth and lying, and everything in between. (we have a large spreadsheet of the grammars and the evolution of both truth and lying.
9. This means all human speech is open to deconstruction (analysis), and that analysis informs us that the vast majority of human speech consists of communication, coercion, persuasion, negotiation, and most of all that is some form of discount-seeking: lying.
10. Ergo, we have a relatively complete science of decidability and constructive logic of cognition, behavior, and speech.
11. And as such, we can deconstruct the female and male biases in methods of lying and how both sexes apply them differently.
12. And as such, we can demonstrate (and have) the sex differences in cognition, in lying, and the Abrahamic (vs the greco-roman) methods of deception, whether by intuition and instinct, or by habit, or by wishful thinking, or by malicious intent.
So no. You are simply not knowledgeable in such matters, and yes they are somewhat challenging.

MODI VISIT AND RELATIONS WITH INDIA (IN DECLINE)
~~”India isn’t a country, it’s more like the Holy Roman Empire…where there is technically a central government, but almost all decisions that matter are made at the state and local level. And so while Modi is nominally the leader, he is only the most powerful of several dozens of personalities across the indian system who have decision making power. So the capacity of india to act like a state like other states, is very weak. And India looks out for it’s own best interests [more so than anyone else]. So, India can never be family, an ally, or a friend. [And visa versa.] … But they are capable of running an economy that is globally significant, without being one that is globally wired. … “~~ @PeterZeihan
While strategically challenging it’s as valuable to india as it was to the core of europe: The Holy Roman Empire. On the other hand this is an explicity statement that despite the use of the english language, and history as a british colony, India is not extended family like Japan and Korea, and relations over time will continue to cool and eventually turn hostile – and this will have an effect on Indian Americans just as it has on Russian Americans.
