    1. The disparity of the spatial domains used by predators and prey is a common feature of many terrestrial avian and mammalian predatory interactions, as predators are typically more mobile and have larger home ranges than their prey.

    1. Incorporating these realistic behavioural features requires formulating spatial predator-prey models having local prey mortality due to predation and its spatial aggregation, in order to generate a numerical response at timescales longer than the local prey consumption. Coupling the population dynamics occurring at different spatial scales is far from intuitive, and involves making important behavioural and demographic assumptions. Previous spatial predator-prey models resorted to intuition to derive local functional responses from non-spatial equivalents, and often involve unrealistic biological assumptions that restrict their validity.


    2. We propose a hierarchical framework for deriving generic models of spatial predator-prey interactions that explicitly considers the behavioural and demographic processes occurring at different spatial and temporal scales.

    3. The proposed framework highlights the circumstances wherein static spatial patterns emerge and can be a stabilizing mechanism of consumer-resource interactions.”—

  • Positions: What I Do Here

    September 25th, 2018 12:22 PM A Reminder to New Friends and Followers

    Controversial Philosophy in Public

    [I] write controversial philosophy. If it was not controversial it would not be revolutionary. And I embrace controversy as good marketing, and the good conduct of argumentative research.

    Yes I’m Controversial And Here is Why If my work is offensive, it means the person offended is a thief. That may seem an outrageous claim, but it will survive all criticisms. Truth is often painful. I ADVANCE CLASSISM (EUGENICS) NOT RACISM I don’t do racism, I do classism (eugenics). I’m for as diverse a planet of tribes as possible. And my understanding is that the differences between the races are almost entirely the product of differences in rates of reproduction of the lower classes. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=racism I ADVANCE NATIONALISM I don’t to statism I do nationalism. I ADVANCE NOMOCRACY I don’t do anarchy, I do nomocracy (rule of law) under Natural Law, where my concept of natural law is not “fuzzy” but thoroughly articulated. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=nomocracy I ADVANCE COMPATIBILISM We are not equal we are however, compatible, in many dimensions of perception and thought as well as labor. In fact, is our difference in sense, perception, valuation, cognition, and negotiation that makes our division of labor not only possible but so phenomenally rewarding.  We are compatible through VOLUNTARY COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE, meaning – in markets. And only in markets. I ADVANCE MARKET GOVERNMENT I don’t do escape from the commons, I do market government for the construction of commons by exchange. I call it Perfect Government or Parasite Proof Government. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=market+government MY PROCESS: EXHAUSTIVE FALSIFICATION I work by aggressively attacking ideas to see if they can survive. This includes attacking cherished myths, traditions, and institutions, and all the values that accompany them. Observing this process can easily offend you. THE UNIQUENESS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION That said, I have explained the uniqueness of western civilization in scientific terms that will be difficult or impossible to overthrow. RECENT WORK

    • In 2017, I worked on Agency (winter and early spring), Religion(thru June),
    • From May to August ’17 I was trying to create another complete draft of my book, but was stuck on Dimensional Grammar. And so I worked on Dimensional Grammar(from august to november).
    • From december to march 2018 I worked on software because grammars exhausted me. It is one of my most important insights that will get the least attention in the present.
    • From April to Fall  18 worked on getting the first book in final (edited) form. From June through august on the first hundred pages or so (the formal part) and from late august October on sketch of constitution.
    • From Late Fall on Revolution.
    • From December to January on Education Website and Cirriculum
    • From February through August on courseware and learning how to do it reasonably well.
    • (I”ll try to revise this now and then as I make progress)

    THE GOAL IS REVOLUTION My goal is to create a revolution and restoration of the constitution to one of Natural Law, and one that overthrows the Century of Lies and Mysticism (20th century). But moral men need more than just revolutionary sentiment. They need:

    1) Moral Authority : We have been lied to, our civilization destroyed, our culture intentionally undermined, and our kin and relations the subject of a slow constant conquest and genocide.

    2) A Solution : An alternative set of institutions that are capable of intertemporal persistence across many generations.

    3) A Plan of Transition : the means by which to convert from the current state to the new state so that individuals and groups can envision that transition rather than fear the uncertainty of it.

    4) A Method Of Revolution : The methods by which we raise the cost of the status quo until our solution is preferable to the current chaos. My work, my “Book”, is an attempt to provide moral authority, A solution, A Plan of Transition, and a Method of Revolution. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.

    September 25th, 2018 9:42 AM [W]omen are wonderful, and superior at the same things men are not. The problem was extending the franchise without producing a market for differences between the genders in the production of commons. We created houses for the aristocracy(monarchy), nobility(lords), middle class (commons). But when we added labor (labor), and then added women(women), we did not add houses for them, and thereby failed to grasp what we had done: created a market for the production of commons between the classes that prohibited the abuse by any in gaining majority. The problem was, that people become increasingly incompetent in matters of the day as their responsibilities decline. So without requirements for children and property it is almost impossible to create a civil discourse and market between the classes – since the people in the market for commons must demonstrate prior ability to succeed in markets of voluntary cooperation.

    I’m your huckleberry. Humans possess agency. Animals do not. If I say one lacks agency, it means one is insufficiently human to enter into rational debate, reason, calculation, and computation. How is it that the inverse, as you suggest – which is the descent into animal instinct – and the abandonment of agency and reason somehow human instead of animal? Or are you saying that those who possess agency and reason are post-, or super-human? ( PS: I’ve dominated in everything I’ve tried. what have you accomplished other than avoidance of success? 😉 )

    September 25th, 2018 9:39 AM

    [T]hey call it mindfulness, and we call it free will or agency. But it’s the same thing: how much distance do you have from your impulses and intuitions such that you can reason.

    [W]e tend to think that agency and intelligence gain in parallel but that isn’t the case. you can develop agency with limited intelligence, and intelligence with limited agency. the question is only whether you have the introspective ability to depend upon your reason rather than your impulse.

    September 25th, 2018 8:58 AM SELF AUTHORING – SUPPRESSION OF MAL-INTUITION
    (suppression of the influence of cognitive biases)

    —“Q: Hey Curt, do you have a thought on the use of self-affirmations to create change in the self? For example, do you consciously talk positively with yourself with the intent on changing your own perception (personal narrative) ? Or do you think such a practice of positive self-affirmation can be used as an effective way of changing one’s personal narrative?”—

    Yes, that’s the essence of self authoring and stoicism is a formal approach to it. Yes it works. Although you can only change to what is true and good from what is false and not good. Most of the time I try to talk myself into either: 1 – ‘Be kind; be overly kind; they are only children, and doing the best they can in life.’ (It is very hard to control the autistic urge to anger and to punish perceived stupidity) or
    2 – ‘Keep going no matter what, no matter how hard, you always win in the end” or
    3 – “You can’t change that, and don’t need to, just do better in the future.” or
    4 – “People think about you a lot less than you imagine, and generally better than you imagine, so don’t worry about it”. And those are things everyone probably needs to do. I don’t have the problem of ‘don’t take it personally’. I’m not agreeable enough to be affected by others. when they are wrong, only when I have been wrong. I have a lot of guilt about my occasionally losing tolerance for mortals and losing battle with my autism and hurting or disappointing people I care about; my divorce and one other relationship i should have handled better (i was very ill in both circumstances); underperforming for my investors. And the only one of those I can fix is my investors. cheers
