    (In my university, because I majored in Fine Art, you could take creative writing for credit every semester. I did. But, i’m too disagreeable and appreciative of the finer things to write works of fiction in poverty for two to four years at a time just so I can play lottery games with publishers. I won a scholarship voted by the professors two years in a row for the most likely to become a practicing artist. But I’m unsuited for poverty. I prefer technology, business, law, philosophy, politics and war. Literature is just writing philosophy but in slow motion for peanuts. )

    Mathematics is the measurement of averages with limited variance in category, and economics is the measurement of averages in wide variance in category.

    The universe changes state by operations.

    We use mathematics to describe point changes.

    Calculus breaks down at the subatomic level.

    Calculus breaks down at the economic level.

    The problem is we don’t have a calculus of geometries (yet) and we may not have one until we solve either the subatomic problem, or the protein folding problem or the economic problem. I’m betting on the second mostly because both math and physics are lost in nonsense land.

    ECONOMICS IS JUST AN EXTENSION OF PHYSICS

    We can quantify all sorts of metrics of human behavior, but you’re confusing mathematics with physics, the same way most people confuse averages with instances or distributions. In other words, mathematics describes averages of points in time, it doesn’t not describe operations.Mathematics consist of operations that describe states and changes in states and averages. But not the underlying operations. Physics studies both the quantitative and the operational. Mathematics just the quantitative (positional). So while mathematics describes ‘sums’ operations describe changes in state.

    Here:

    At every “level’ of reality we discover an underlying limited number of operations (Grammar) producing some set of symmetries (outcomes, equilibria), and above that a new limited number of operations (Grammar, outcomes, equilibria)) that produce another set of symmetries, and above that and so on.

    So, we don’t yet know what causes the quantum level

    We have a fairly good idea what causes the subatomic level.

    we have a very good idea what causes the atomic level.

    We have such a good understanding of chemistry that it’s boring.

    We are getting a fair understanding of biochemistry (and that it’s mechanical).

    We are getting a beginning understanding of proteins (and that it’s mechanical(operational) )

    We are getting a beginning understanding of genetic reproduction (and that it’s mechanical- operational) .

    We are getting a fairly good understanding of cells.

    We have a more than fairly good understanding of multi-cellular (complex) organisms.

    I’ll stop there since I think you can see the pattern of some set of physically possible operations producing a finite set of physically possible states, followed by another set of physically possible operations producing a finite set of physically possible states, and that this process continues indefinitely, all the way to what we call consciousness.

    Now life buys us conservation of energy (defeat of entropy), but it’s still bound by the laws of physics (the underlying grammars).

    Memory buys us prediction. And prediction provides our ability to perform operations (actions) that improve our defeat of entropy.

    Increase in neural( brain) volume provides Competition between predictions, which provides us choices of options for defeating entropy.

    Increase in Brain volume provides iterations on predictions for increasing choices of defeating entropy the sequence of actions (or inactions for that matter).

    Increase in brain volume provides prediction of others predictions and predicting opportunities for cooperation that further improve our ability to capture and use energy by defeating entropy.

    Human ability to capture energy is limited by the grammar of human action (possible actions and sequences of actions and parallel combinations of other’s actions).

    So the grammar of human action consists in the physical, emotional-intuitionistic, and cognitive operations.

    Those operations are bounded by physical limitations of the grammars upon which they are constructed.

    Both Physics and Economics are bound by the same underlying grammars (laws) but because humans have memories, prediction, sentience, and consciousness, reason, calculation, symbolism, and computation, we can use debts and credits with each other to temporarily seize and advantage and then later return to equilibrium by repayment of the cooperation.

    We don’t violate that physical law. Because humans observe reciprocity (equilibrium) just as the physical world obeys equilibrium (entropy).

    And some people specialize in capitalization (productivity) and some people specialize in consumption, and others in parasitism or predation.

    But in the end, over time, we are limited by the physical laws of the universe. We can create productivity (as does life), or we an parasite upon other lives (as do bacteria and viruses).

    We cannot run the clock on parasitism (Socialism or gypsies) or conquest (islamism) forever because we will run out of hosts to prey upon.

    So economics is just physics with debits and credits (ability t steal, to borrow, to exchange,to produce, or to save) made possible by consciousness, by test of reciprocity (account balances), within the limit of proportionality (exit).

    TRIANGLE:

    What limits to human operations?

    ………………./…………..\…………………

    ……….?Limits………….Limits?…………

    Human limits are reciprocity (positive) with the limits of proportionality (negaitve).

    The subatomic level appears to run out of energy by maximum dissipation.

    The macro atomic level appears to run out of ability to compress energy.

    Sorry but it’s just Physics with the ability to use each other for debt and credit that we call ‘cooperation”.

  • ON WRITING FICTION All the time in every submission, every publisher’s read of i

    ON WRITING FICTION

    All the time in every submission, every publisher’s read of it, and every rejection of it, and every reaction to rejection, and every thought about your reaction to rejection is a reflection of the time that you didn’t put into researching people, places, and things, that would fill your head with possibilities for novelty that would inform the reader, capture the reader’s attention, and increase the chance of publication.

    All entertainment is novelty seeking. Human experience is translated in to emotion, and into memory, and into auto-association, an later contemplation by its degree of novelty.

    If you aren’t teaching the reader something new about others, about life, about people, about places, about things, or asking the reader to outwit you and your characters, you’re wasting your time, the editors time, the publisher’s time and the reader’s time – if you ever manage to get one.

    1. Learning the archetypes and the plots is trivial.

    2. Adapting them to contemporary life takes a bit of thought.

    3. Informing the reader about life takes more thought.

    4. Planting clues for the reader to speculate where the plot is going takes a bit more thought.

    5. Planting outwitting the reader’s speculation takes more thought.

    6. Novel combinations of all the above takes much more thought.

    7. More characters and more plot lines and more sets of clues takes much more thought.

    8. Using all of the above to teach the audience a philosophy for the present, a state of the world in the past or future – a system of thought that reframes the world – that is what literature means.

    9. Doing #8 so that you capture the essence of the age in the myths of the age: theology, fantasy, science fiction, fiction, biography, history, philosophy, law or science is extremely difficult and those that endure are extremely rare.

    But in the end, answer the question every art, music, literature, play, and script professional will ask you?

    1. Are you engaging in therapy?

    2. Are you engaging in escapism?

    3. Are you engaging in self-entertainment?

    4. Are you engaging in approval-seeking?

    5. Are you engaging in business or entrepreneurship?

    6. Are you engaging in craftsmanship or engineering (production)?

    7. Are you engaging in entertainment (novelty)?

    9. Are you engaging in politics or propaganda?

    9. Are you engaging in philosophy?

    10. Are you engaging in art?

    The amount of knowledge that you must reflect in, or incorporate in your work increases with scale.

    Postmodernism is a cancer on mankind – as bad as monotheism was in the past.

    But we are almost done with it.

    We are in a period of chaos.

    The period before the great change.

    We require authors to create a new vision.

    We live the vision of technology created in 1980 by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and Bruce Sterling.

    We live in the vision of civilization destruction created by Derrida.

    We live in the literary model of GRR Martin’s Futility of heroism, where the meek inherit the devastated earth.

    We live in the reverse gender model of harry (Harriet) Potter vs Hermione (Herman) Granger.

    We live in the political order of George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

    What are you bringing to the table in exchange for others attention?

    Because they couldn’t care less, nor should they, about your therapy, escapism, self-entertainment, approval seeking, entrepreneurship, and they expect at least craftsmanship and production quality in exchange for not only their (increasingly trivial) money, and (increasingly costly) attention.

    I’ve taught creativity for decades and it’s trivial.

    1. Fill the shelves of your mind with everything possible until you have so many ideas you can’t choose among them.

    2. Sketch characters, locations, things, incentives, and obstacles.

    3. Sketch plots (arcs)

    That’s filling your head.

    4. Write scenes with beginning middle and end.

    5. Write chapters with beginning middle and end.

    6. Write arcs with beginning middle and end.

    7. Write stories with beginning middle and end.

    The rest is editing- be merciless.

    You want to feel your way through a writing book, but you can’t feel your way through emptiness. Give yourself resources to work with. Otherwise you’re just using free association to create a poor imitation of whatever authors you’ve read who did what you didn’t.

    “PROPERTARIANISM IS THE WORST CULT I’VE EVER SEEN”

    by Stephen Thomas

    Propertarianism is the worst cult I have ever seen.

    There are no financial requirements.

    There are no social requirements.

    There are no official leaders.

    There are only 2 things required to “join”.

    Honesty

    Intelligence

    Honest people don’t engage in RRGSM unless provoked by dishonesty or RRGSM.

    Intelligent people can learn the excruciatingly difficult, monetarily free material.

    I don’t know of any cults intentionally pursing honest and intelligent people. Seems counterintuitive.

    I DUNNO. NETANYAHU?

    Charges appear political to me, not criminal. In other words they’re within the limits access buying, but there isn’t any evidence of quid pro quo.

    Same with Trump really.

    Compare with Obama giving 150M to a publisher for writing up the education standards, and getting 50M for his book rights from the same publisher on exit.

    That’s quid pro quo.

    The semblance of, or possibility of influence (corruption) is not the same as the demonstrated evidence of direct or indirect quid pro quo.

    Obama shouldn’t have used that publisher. That was quid pro quo. I haven’t seen a single instance of anything of that nature with Trump or Netanyahu.

    So the left uses a double standard benefitting their members but not applying the same standard to the opposition’s members.

    This double standard within a group is a crime under P-Law.

    P IS A LEAP IN THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. SORRY. MAN UP AND LEARN.

    —“Brandon Hayes so in other words p has similar descriptive and predictive powers to things like astrology and Marxism. If you recite these dogmas enough I’m sure they come to seem like objective truths, but my suggestion would be that you read a few things that are not by other cult members, or books of quotations taken out of context”—John Tangney

    Alright you overconfident idiot, let’s dance.

    —“Lol, who writes your dialogue?”—John Tangney

    1. Is science defined as the use of the scientific method or not? If not, then what is it defined as?

    2. Is that scientific method justificationary or falsificationary?

    3. Is mathematics the logic of constant positional relations, if not then what?

    4. What are the limits of mathematics as we currently understand them? (I’ll tell you: quantum mechanics (probability at the low end), and economics (probability at the high end). Why? Informational availability and categorical consistency.

    5. So is prediction in science limited? Or limited is it by current mathematical understanding? (I’ll tell you: it’s a limit of our current understanding of single-position mathematics, and we haven’t – see Wolfram – developed the geometric equivalent that we have in curves (calculus ), lines (geometry), points (arithmetic). It appears that it is not possible for humans without the help of computers. We can however use variation from intermediary symmetries (constants) in the meantime.

    6. Is prediction or explanation by constant relations a test of falsification? It doesn’t matter.

    P is a falsificationary, operational, explicatory, logic of limits. It is predictive given information (bounded rationality), and is predictive given symmetries (findings of general rules of economics). It cannot be as mathematics can be closed, because we can innovate and axioms can’t.

    Not only is P itself scientific, it defines science and the scientific method completely.

    Why do people keep assuming we only want to make slight changes to universal suffrage? The optimum outcome is scraping the whole thing and putting in several houses for classes with different interests that have to negotiate.

    They have been indoctrinated into the fallacy of the good of democracy’s majoritarian tyranny, and made ignorant of the market as a means of calculating optimums despite differences.

  • THE UNREASONABLE EFFECTIVENESS OF P-LOGIC(LAW) IN HUMAN SCIENCES: PARADIGMS(META

    THE UNREASONABLE EFFECTIVENESS OF P-LOGIC(LAW) IN HUMAN SCIENCES: PARADIGMS(METAPHYSICS), PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIOLOGY, ECON, LAW, AND POLITICS

    P-Logic (Law) is (a) universally commensurable (b) value neutral, ( c) operational logic, of (d) decidability.

    Read that a few times and make sure you undrestand it. Universally commensurable, value neutral, operational logic, of decidability.

    The profound depth of that set of properties isn’t at all obvious, but just as saying math has extraordinary explanatory power in the physical sciences of constant temporal relations: P-logic (law) has equally extraordinary explanatory power in the cognitive sciences: paradigms(metaphysics), psychology, sociology, politics, group competitive strategy, ethics, and law.

    Physical sciences are mathematically predictive because categories and relations at a given resolution are constant both in and across time. The physical world can’t choose.

    Economic sciences are mathematically un-predictive, and only mathematically descriptive, and only operationally explanatory because relations (categories, weights(values), and operations) are inconstant across time – the consequence of Humans scheming and choosing with fragmentary and asymmetric information.

    Social Sciences are only operationally explanatory, not mathematically descriptive, nor mathematically predictive because while operations and incentives are constant, subject categories and values are inconstant, and unpredictable because humans scheme and choose using fragmentary and asymmetric information.

    P-Logic(law) provides universal explanatory power across the disciplines. Predictive power decreases with the inconstancy of relations over time. Many can create arbitrary relations within the limits of his perception, cognition, incentives, negotiation, and action, to plot and scheme against the course of events such that by some action or inaction he captures more caloric gains or opportunity for those gains, or prevents losses of opportunity or gains, than he would by not acting or acting.
