  • Dr James Tour’s Use of Critique to Justify Miracles

    This is not a refutation of abiogenesis. It’s a claim of the absence of evidence of the sequence of molecular organization is evidence of absence of a sequence of molecular organization. It’s a claim that the recombination of standard model particles, elements, and molecules and systems of molecules cannot occur by the single causality of the defeat of entropy (producing equilibria). The observable evidence is that all primary forces, the hierarchy of equilibrial states that evolve from them (‘particles’, atoms, molecules, biomolecules on up) consist of recombinations that are in fact, observably possible, but we are as yet as unsure of the sequence of combinations that produced life as we are the geometry of the primary forces. This is very likely because (a) massive parallelization of elementary and molecular permutations (b) recombination of non-trivial resulting combinations, (c) information loss of inessential biomaterial during subsequent evolution. In other words, the evolutionary sequence is nontrivial. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to discover, given that we can find nothing that we can’t explain that isn’t a function of either the lack of sufficient information to produce a testable theory, or the cost of testing those theories given the vast number of trials that would need to be run, until we know enough to run tests by simulation (calculation, computation, simulation). And the reason for both our ‘ignorances’ is quite simple: we cannot use deduction given the information available from acts of inspection using the tools available to us, so we have to use computable permutation (bottom up trial and error) until we do, and that will require a lot of computing power and a lot of time. In simple terms, the fact that equilibria do exist at increasing levels of complexity (subatomic, atomic, molecular, biomolecular, on up) is evidence that anything that IS computable (can evolve) from any given state will eventually be computed (evolve) as long as each step in the process produces a stable state. I don’t know why this is complicated. We face the same problems in subatomic physics, in chemistry, in materials science, in biochemistry, in consciousness, and in economics. These problems are identical because (a) we don’t yet know the primary geometry of the universe (we don’t know it’s number system or language so to speak), and (b) we can’t, therefore, calculate the permutations of stable states (under stable conditions – esp temperature). That said, yes, this “Hype” by attention-seeking students, researchers, universities, and the media, overstates just low little we know so far – and it’s offensive and unconstructive. And trying to justify the hand of god rather than that the universe is the mind of god and evolution is his means of creating tools (hands) by creating us, is just an attempt to defend rather ridiculous ancient supernatural mythology rather than trying to reform it with the evidence before us. Gods words are simple: it’s written in the formal physical cooperative and evolutionary laws of the universe for all to see if we can learn to read it. We have. The ancients didn’t. They invented lying instead. And the purpose of all of their lies is always the same: an attempt to avoid gods formal(logical), physical, cooperative, and evolutionary laws of the universe. The only actor that would advise man to ignore gods laws that he so clearly built the universe from, and all of us can observe and read, is the devil. For this reason, Abraham was the devil, jesus tried to tell us how to escape him, and the jews and Muslims continue to do his work. Because they teach non-adaptation to gods laws of the universe.

  • An Operational Explanation of Schizophrenia

    On Schizophrenia: The brain (neurons, minicolumns, columns, modules, regions, hemispheres) functions by the adversarial (competitive) composition for coherence (overlapping, matching), resulting in the seizure of attention (victory) by the Thalamus (control of attention by the persistence of feedback across the neocortex), which causes recursion( persistence of context). Any sufficiently widespread degeneration of that consolidation into coherence (severely in the hippocampal region, generally across the neocortex), will cause the failure of that recursion. The brain functions by continuous iterations of recursive disambiguation held by the thalamus(auto-associative attention) and anterior (front) cingulate cortext (recursive attention) the prefrontal cortex(goal intention). That’s why language (grammar) is organized as continuous recursive disambiguation: pathfinding. So schizophrenia and all its symptoms in all their forms and severities are easily explicable as general degenerative disorder – most critically of the thalamus -> cingulate cortex -> prefrontal cortex. And even that sequence may simply be the most severe of a spectrum of disorders. So just as Alzheimer’s begins in the hippocampal region preventing the formation of memories, and resulting in the degeneration of memories (sort of top-down failure of the brain), schizophrenia affects the other end of the spectrum (the bottom-up failure of the brain) by the degeneration of control competition for coherence and therefore attention, causing degeneration in the hierarchy of recursion of associations. This is why the initial association formed in the neocortex appears to function but the recursion upon that association fails. I have no idea other than the apparent causal, hierarchical, sequence of depression to schizophrenia hints at some relation to immunological disorders, viral disorders, and developmental disorders – even that is just a suspicion, but the current research certainly takes that position. ( This exposition is a reason why you want to understand my work on the operational explanation of the function of the brain. )

    That’s why language (grammar) is organized as continuous recursive disambiguation: pathfinding. So schizophrenia and all its symptoms in all their forms and severities are easily explicable as general degenerative disorder – most critically of the thalamus -> cingulate cortex -> prefontal cortex.

    And even that sequence may simply be the most severe of a spectrum of disorders. So just as Alzheimers begins in the hippocampal region preventing the formation of memories, and resulting in the degeneration of memories (sort of top down failure of the brain), schizophenia affects the other end of the spectrum (the bottom up failure of the brain) by the degeneration of control competition for coherence and therefore attention, causing degeneration in the hieraarchy of recursion of associations. This is why the initial association formed in the neocorex appears to function but the recursion upon that association fails.

    I have no idea other than the apparent causal, hierarchical, sequence of depression to schizophrenia hints at some relation to immunological disorders – even that is just a suspicion.

    12. Because if there is or are gods(the universe) and they speak to us at all (the laws of the universe), and have any plan for us at all (evolution into the hands of god) then only europeans have identified god(s), discovered their words, applied them, to transcend man for them.

    @Dan52775344 8. Which is why I argue that the jews merely copied the bible of the west(epic cycle) and in particular the tragic hero of the aristocracy(Achilles), by combining south eurasian(low iq) ancient mythos(Horus) into a tragic figure of jesus that was virtuous for suffering tragedy.

    Weather is a highly variable, noisy algorithm.
    We are in a global warm period between glacials.
    It is not yet clear that our effect on the climate is meaningful unless we fail to limit reproduction.
    The real debate is over population quantity vs quality with climate as a proxy.

  • 1. Because science is the discipline of producing testifiable evidence of causal

    1. Because science is the discipline of producing testifiable evidence of causal relations when we do not yet know the first causes (first principles). Via positiva (chemistry) vs via negativa (Law). In chemistry we know them – it’s ‘done’ yet all the application isn’t.

    I separate science (discovery of first principles) from technology (discovery of application of first principles). Chemistry is a science that appears to be in the technology phase. Subatomic physics is still in the scientific phase.

    2. But law we know the first principle, and we know the dimensions of justifiability of humans and we know the list of their demonstrated interests. We know the first principles of law. Like chemistry, we do not yet know the totality of APPLICATIONS of it b/c man invents crimes.

    3. So we can experiment in via Positiva legislation within the limits of the first principles of law, just as we can experiment with via positive constructions of chemistry but the first principles do not change.

    4. So in physics we know the first principle down to the standard model, but we do not know the geometry of the next ‘grammar’ down, that produces the standard model.

    5. In economics we know that suppression of irreciprocity produces monetary and economic velocity, and we know around 150 different economic general principles. But they are general rules of arbitrary precision. (The neutrality of money is the example I usually use.)

    6. In econometrics we are just discovering symmetries (general equilibrial invariances) in economic phenomena which may help us develop a new macro-economic theory the way chemistry and biology evolve from physics.

    7. So when we say ‘science’ (testifiability) evolves incrementally in evolves incrementally inward until we discover first causes, and then incrementally outward as we discover applications.

    8. But first causes do not change. This is why math describes the physical universe and P describes the behavioral universe of man MAN. These are formal logics. There is no variation from these formal logics. That’s how it is. I know this you don’t yet., That’s all.

    9. I (know) P provides the solution to a problem we should have solved just after Babbage in the 19th century that opened the hole for the second wave of Abrahamic deceit. it is an incremental improvement over the Aryan, roman, germanic, anglo, and American common law.

    10. This is why p is structured as amendments to the constitution that define man and man’s behaviors, and define the law, and the rights and obligations under that law, and the optimum political order under it, and why it’s least divergent from the laws of the universe.

    11. This completes the Wilsonian Synthesis of the unification of all fields in a single logic that is indifferent at all scales from the subatomic to speech.
