This technique is a variation on the female competitive strategy by which false promises of opportunity for approval, advocacy, defense, affection, sex, and care taking, and the threat of gossiping, ridicule, shaming, and rallying, and deprivation of opportunity for affection and sex are used to constrain and manipulate males, and use to threaten females with Ostracization from cooperation, sharing, assistance, and support. All three Abrahamic religions, Rousseu’s Moralism, Kantian philosophy, Marxist argument, and Postmodern thought all make use of this technique of argument, often stated as “Dialectic” but operationally consisting of Pilpul vs Critique. Most of Propertarianism (the Natural Law of Reciprocity) consists of attempts to prevent Abrahamic arguments and replace them with Testimonial (Ratio-Scientific-and-Operational) arguments so that Law (Constitutions) can be constructed strictly and logically and is not open to accidental, intentional, misinterpretation. Thus requiring legislatures reform a law rather than allow legislation from the Jurist’s bench – which is the means by which the US Constitution was undermined. AESTHETICS(philosophy) – A branch of philosophy dealing with beauty and the beautiful, especially with judgments of taste concerning them. The philosophy or science of art. AGENCY (Propertarianism) —“The capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices subject to personal or external limitations. By contrast, structure refers to those factors that determine or limit an individual and his or her decisions, such as gender, social class, ethnicity, religion, customs, education, economic institutions, government, propaganda, ability, knowledge, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit. Meaning that one’s agency is determined by the combination of beneficial institutions, abilities, and knowledge and inhibiting institutions, abilities, and knowledge”— As an example, God would have perfect agency, because would have perfect knowledge(omniscience), perfect reason, perfect emotions, perfect mindfulness, perfect ability to act (omnipotence), unlimited resources, and no competition, no need to cooperate, and therefore no need for conventions, laws, institutions, or infrastructure. As humans we have imperfect knowledge, imperfect reason, imperfect mindfulness, imperfect emotions, limited range of actions, limited resources, and we live in a world where we must compete, must cooperate to compete, and to do so require conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure. So, Agency consists of the degree to which one approaches perfect ability to act, when not limited by knowledge, reason, emotions, mindfulness, range of action, available instrumentation, available resources, competition, cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions and infrastructure. Given we can never have unlimited knowledge, unlimited resources, and we have limited ability to be free of competition, need for cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure, we can seek largely to improve our knowledge, reason, mindfulness, and assets so that we maximize our agency within the available limits. CONVERSELY (VIA NEGATIVA) Remove sources of lack of fitness, lack of character (virtue), lack of resources, sources of normative and institutional resistance, sources of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit – all the impediments to agency – and agency will result. Then selecting a philosophy – a means of decidability – by which one can obtain one’s ends, and an aesthetic that values one’s passions in accordance with that philosophy. AGENCY = POTENTIAL ENERGY by Simon Ström Agency = potential energy (PE) Force = applied energy (F) Event = Impulse (Imp), [force vector + temporal dimension] Consequence = displacement vector (s) Action = work (W) Externalities = Waste heat (h) W = F * s COMMODITY(economics)– A comparatively homogeneous product that can typically be bought in bulk. It usually refers to a raw material – oil, cotton, cocoa, silver – but can also describe a manufactured product used to make other things, for example, microchips used in personal computers. COMMON LAW(law)– Legally binding rules or principles of justice developed in the course of history from the gradual accumulation of rulings by judges in individual cases, as differentiated from the kind of statute law embodied in special legal codes or statutes enacted by legislative assemblies or imposed by executive decrees. The importance of the common law heritage is particularly great in the legal systems of Great Britain and of most former British colonies, including the U.S. COMMONS(law, economics) – Originally, meaning Land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community. More articulately: any form of property to which members of a group share an interests, but where that interest is obtained by an unspecified membership in the group rather than by explicit possession of title. I use this term to refer to both physical property and normative commons. The problem with commons is that without shares, even un-tradable shares, the ownership of the commons cannot be protected from confiscation by various means including immigration, or political confiscation. DECIDABILTY, DECIDABLE vs DISCRETION (testimony)

In the REVERSE: a question (statement) is DECIDABLE if an algorithm (set of operations) exists within the limits of the system (rules, axioms, theories) that can produce a decision (choice). In other words, if the sufficient information for the decision is present (ie: is decidable) within the “system”(ie: grammar).

In the OBVERSE: Instead, we should determine if there is a means of choosing without the need for additional information supplied from outside the system (ie: not discretionary).

Or in simple terms, if DISCRETION is necessary the question is undecidable, and if discretion is unnecessary, a proposition is decidable. This separates reason (or calculation in the wider sense) from computation (algorithm).DEMONSTRATED PROPERTY(law) – an expanded definition of property that is based upon the full scope of what humans consider to be property, based upon what they demonstrate that they consider to be property. Demonstrated Property is the definition of ‘property’ used in Propertarianism. EMOTIONS (psychology) – Emotions are reactions to changes in state of “capital” we refer to as Property in Toto that we either have, or might have: obtaining it, saving it, or holding options on past, present and future utility of it. That utility can reduce our physical, intellectual, emotional, reproductive, or time costs. Our “values” influence us in the sense that the value we attribute to any given form of capital varies according to our gender, class, ability, condition, and inventory of existing capital. EMPIRICAL (testimony)– “Empirical” means observable, and therefore measurable, and therefore commensurable, and therefore open to tests of coherence. Empirical: Reciprocally Observable, and therefore agreeable, or disagreeable.

1. Empirical means observable such that claims can be intersubjectively verifiable or falsifiable: meaning the observation can be “agreed or disagreed upon”;
2. in addition it means a sufficient volume of observations that we falsify the fragility of episodic memories, our tendency to err, our tendency to find patterns that don’t exist, or to bias the results, and to use both to deceive ;
3. in addition it means using physical instruments of measurement to compensate for the limits of our senses, perception, and the resulting limits to intuition, prediction, and memory;
4. in addition it means using logical instruments of measurement (testing) of constant, contingent, inconstant, and non-relations to compensate for the limits of our intuition, imagination, prediction, and reason and as such to prevent claims made in ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.
5. together consisting of tests of reciprocity of information, and the possibility of Agreement or disagreement by reciprocity of information using due diligence in the falsification of sense, perception, intuition, prediction, and claim by RECIPROCAL due diligence using quantity, quality, consistency, causality.

See the value of operational language? If you have the words for it, most philosophical discourses is rendered nonsense. See how law (competition) differs from philosophy by reduction to reciprocity not the self (philosophical justification)? Like I said, in almost all cases philosophical questions are sophisms due to idealism rather than realism – operational language. EXTERNALITY, EXTERNALITIES(law, economics) – An economic side-effect. Externalities are costs or benefits arising from an economic activity that affects somebody other than the people engaged in economic activity and are not reflected fully in PRICES. Positive Externality: A positive externality is a side-effect produced by taking an action that causes an involuntary increase in an individual’s inventory of property-in-toto* (Most normative commons are constructed by way of positive externalities) Negative Externality: A negative externality is a side-effect produced by taking an action that causes an involuntary decrease in an individual’s inventory of property-in-toto*   (Immoral actions produce negative externalities, moral actions do not) GHETTO ETHICS (Abrahamism)– literally, the ethics of the medieval urban ghetto. As a ‘state within a state’ residents of the ghetto can conduct exchange as if they are state actors by relying upon high trust exchange in-group, while using low trust exchange out-group. However, in any polity, each of us cannot act as a ‘state’ by applying low trust with some and high trust with others because the net result is a near-universally low trust society for the vast majority. In such an environment demand for the state and its interventions as a proxy for trust remains high, since low trust is by definition the use of cunning and deception to obtain discounts and premiums that the opposite party would not tolerate willingly. In other words, low trust ethics are parasitic, and impose high transaction costs on the population. The underlying point I’m making is the absurdity of using the model of a state within a state to advocate for a stateless society. In that lens the entire Rothbardian project is… well, absurdly illogical. Laughable even. Aristocratic egalitarianism (the protestant ethic) suppresses all cheating such that demand for the state is low because transaction costs and conflicts are minimized, while the velocity of production and exchange is high.

ALIENABLE: able to be transferred to new ownership. ALIENATION: the transfer of the ownership of property rights. INALIENABLE:  incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred In property law, the possessor may not have the right to sell a parcel of land—no right of alienation. So the parcel is “inalienable” as to the possessor. We are used to seeing the term in the context of rights. Inalienable rights. Rights that cannot be taken away from you without violating Natural Law. But what about the other application of the principle? You CAN’T transfer the right of self defense. You have no ability to alienate a right if the right is inalienable. You can pay/incentivize someone to help you defend yourself, but you can’t transfer the right away.. This is brilliant and true and the consequences of trying to transfer your duty in this regard result in loss of sovereignty. In the US we still have the ability to be sovereign, but we have not behaved sovereign for quite some time as a population and that needs to change immediately if not sooner. Militia service is costly in the sense that it takes time, preparedness, planning, etc which is why people have offloaded the cost of sovereignty onto other extralegal organizations. Having “police” incentivizes the shift of the cost of sovereignty onto those willing to serve for a price and it moves the common man away from maximizing his agency in a setting of aristocratic egalitarianism and peerage and puts the common man in the position of submissive subject. |LAW| Transcendence > Sovereignty + Reciprocity (One Law) > Insurer (Court) (King / Judge of last resort) > The Discovered Law > The Referee (Judge) > The Jury -> The Thang -> The Senate -> { the King/Monarchy, the Senate/Lords(oligarchy) And the House (industry) and the Church (families) and the “those who have only the law to defend them – the underclasses”}. |LONG CYCLE OF HISTORY| {MALE EVOLUTIONARY TERRITORIAL: Fast Western > Medium Rational Eastern > Slow Narrative Indian Indian} vs FEMALE DEVOLUTIONARY MIGRATORY: Supernatural Semitic counter-evolutionary strategy.

OPERATIONALISM, OPERATIONISM, INTUITIONISM

OPERATIONALISM (PHYSICS): Operationalism is physics was important because it demonstrated that we expended a great deal of time and money by NOT practicing operationalism and that Einstein’s innovation should have been much earlier and could have been if we had practiced it.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/operationalism/

INTUITIONISM (MATHEMATICS): Intuitionism in mathematics was less important because there are few if any externalities produced by classical mathematical operations other than the psychological fallacy that there exists some separate mathematical reality. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/intuitionism/ See Also: Constructive Mathematics:

ECONOMIC INTUITIONISM/OPERATIONALISM IS MEANINGFUL: Therefore the HIGHEST moral requirement for demonstration of construction is in the domain of economics wherein the greatest externalities are caused by economic policy.

OPERATIONISM (PSYCHOLOGY): Operationism in psychology was important in the recent transformation of psychology from a pseudoscience, to an experimental discipline, and because psychologists do produce, and did produce negative externalities – harm, to others. Not the least of which was multiple generations suffering from illnesses cast as cognitive problems. http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/199/1/operat.htm

DEFINITION: PARSIMONY “Lowest cost across all dimensions testable by man”

EXPANSION – Given human faculties: sense, disambiguation (constant relations), perception(integration-prediction), auto-association-prediction, attention-prediction (will), recursion-prediction, and release of actions; – And dimensions of tests of constant relations: free associative, categorical, logical, empirical, operational, rational choice, reciprocal rational choice, completeness; Parsimony must refer to:

“Lowest Cost”, expanded to:

the lowest cost (least information), description of a chain of causation surviving tests of: entropy, realism, naturalism, operationalism, and;

bounded rational self interest:

in the seizure of opportunity, from the field of identified opportunities, given the opportunity cost of the opportunity, determined by competition for the greatest return in the shortest time for the least effort, with the greatest certainty at the lowest risk, to the point of disequilibrium and subsequent re-equilibration, eliminating the opportunity from the field of opportunities.

and

reciprocity (repeating the above) is the only productive rather than parasitic (costly) means of interaction. (- although parasitism and predation are profitable means of interaction, they are consumptive not productive.) The difference between: – Testimony (due diligence by self), – Coherence(consistency by audience), – Parsimony(competition by market), … is grammatical (point-of-view), and an application of and conformity to, – the law of epistemology (free association-idea-> hypothesis-surviving > theory-surviving > application-surviving)

I can fuss with this a bit to make it as tight as reciprocity and testimony, or any of the other definitions, but ‘skeptical subjective testing against Occam’s Razor serves as the colloquial reduction.POWER, PARETO, NASH DISTRIBUTIONS, EQUILIBRIUMS ( economics, sociology, politics)

NASHPHENOMENON – noun, plural phenomena, or, especially for 3, phenomenons. An observed or observable change in state of a referent. PRAXEOLOGY (economics) – Intuitionism (Praxeology) in economics is important because manipulation of the economy causes redistributions, gains and losses. As a moral constraint, it is only slightly less influential than law. DEMONSTRATED INTERESTS, |PROPERTY IN TOTO|: DEMONSTRATED PROPERTY IN TOTO (Demonstrated Property)

*SOVEREIGNTY Achieved Upon Suppression.

VI – Evil z. The imposition of costs upon the interests of others without intent or incentive for gain, but for the purpose of causing them loss regardless of one’s gain or loss.PROTOCOL, MEDICAL PROTOCOL(medicine) Medical treatments and tests are discussed as protocols. Medical (Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment), – Advisory. Clinical (Research and field trials), – Required. Procedural (EMT, Nurses, Operating rooms.) – Strictest. RECIPROCITY (economics, law): the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit, especially privileges granted by one individual, group, organization, polity, or country to another. REFERRER, REFERENT (REFERENCE), CO-REFERENTIAL(Linguistics)– A referrer or reference is the symbol or name that refers to a person, thing, or idea. Note that we use the term “Referrer” rather than reference. A referent is a person or thing to which a name – a linguistic expression or other symbol – refers.   A referrer and a referent refer to one another and are therefore co-referential. RENT SEEKING (Economics) – In public choice theory as well as in economics, rent-seeking means seeking to increase one’s share of existing wealth without creating new wealth. Simple Version: “Corruption from outside the government inside of inside the government.”

NOUN 1. the fact or practice of manipulating public policy or economic conditions as a strategy for increasing profits. “cronyism and rent-seeking have become an integral part of the way our biggest companies do business”

ADJECTIVE 1. engaging in or involving the manipulation of public policy or economic conditions as a strategy for increasing profits. “rent-seeking lobbyists” Rent-seeking results in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth-creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality, and potential national decline. In its original sense, rent seeking is the act of gaining partial ownership of land in order to gain control of a part of its production. In government it is the act of gaining privileges, redistribution or partial monopolies. In its broadest sense it is the act of obtaining some sort if claim on the productivity of others rather than producing something ones self, or through voluntary exchange. We all seek rents. We all seek opportunity for benefitting from either the actions of our organizations, the actions of others, or the grant of state state monopolies. Women seek mates as monetary rents and men to ease the burden of childrearing. We all seek rents. We could argue that rent seeking is the primary incentive for cooperation. Because so few of us are productive enough through direct exchange of our efforts. The only rent thats totally moral is interest. Interest is free of involuntary transfer. Interest, in the sense that we rent money to others, contrary to our superstitions, is moral. Now, It is possible to seek rents via interest. Either through usury or through leveraging the state’s fiat money. One can collect interest on production. On can collect interest on consumption. Neither of these things is necessary. Both are voluntary. Neither produce negative externalities. They create whole sequences of positive externalities. But collecting interest on externalities is immoral if it creates externalities that produce involuntary transfers. Rothbards ghetto ethics actually encourage involuntary transfers. Under the false presumption that the market will solve the problem through competition. But Since all things being equal, profit from externalities is greater than the same loan without externalities, just the opposite is true. The market will encourage externalities. Also, ghetto ethics assume that judges will not hold people accountable for those externalities and require restitution of them. But they have and will. Because it is consistent with the ethics of property to do so. STRICT CONSTRUCTION (law): Strict Construction is an abused term where the courts instead use the terms Textualism and Original Intent. But under Propertarian property rights theory, Strict Construction refers to requiring that any law passed be accompanied by argument showing that such a law is specifically authorized by the constitution. In other words, laws constitute permissible legal operations. And none of them can violate property rights. This is important because otherwise, if discretion is required, then judges can insert deception, imaginary content, bias and error into the body of law. (As they have done, circumventing the legislature, the constitution, and property rights.) As such the principle of Propertarian Strict Construction (as opposed to Textualism’s strict construction) requires that we operationally define the construct of all any law. This principle is important because laws have the greatest effect on a polity – and often the greatest unintended effect upon individuals and the polity. TRUST (psychology, sociology, law): Where one party experiences mindfulness in predicting that the intertemporal actions of another party, will not impose costs upon one’s demonstrated intersets; and to advance mutual interests given the opportunity; within the limits of demand for bearing the costs of doing so. I might refine that a bit but it’s pretty good.

This technique is a variation on the female competitive strategy by which false promises of opportunity for approval, advocacy, defense, affection, sex, and care taking, and the threat of gossiping, ridicule, shaming, and rallying, and deprivation of opportunity for affection and sex are used to constrain and manipulate males, and use to threaten females with Ostracization from cooperation, sharing, assistance, and support. All three Abrahamic religions, Rousseu’s Moralism, Kantian philosophy, Marxist argument, and Postmodern thought all make use of this technique of argument, often stated as “Dialectic” but operationally consisting of Pilpul vs Critique. Most of Propertarianism (the Natural Law of Reciprocity) consists of attempts to prevent Abrahamic arguments and replace them with Testimonial (Ratio-Scientific-and-Operational) arguments so that Law (Constitutions) can be constructed strictly and logically and is not open to accidental, intentional, misinterpretation. Thus requiring legislatures reform a law rather than allow legislation from the Jurist’s bench – which is the means by which the US Constitution was undermined. AESTHETICS(philosophy) – A branch of philosophy dealing with beauty and the beautiful, especially with judgments of taste concerning them. The philosophy or science of art. AGENCY (Propertarianism) —“The capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices subject to personal or external limitations. By contrast, structure refers to those factors that determine or limit an individual and his or her decisions, such as gender, social class, ethnicity, religion, customs, education, economic institutions, government, propaganda, ability, knowledge, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit. Meaning that one’s agency is determined by the combination of beneficial institutions, abilities, and knowledge and inhibiting institutions, abilities, and knowledge”— As an example, God would have perfect agency, because would have perfect knowledge(omniscience), perfect reason, perfect emotions, perfect mindfulness, perfect ability to act (omnipotence), unlimited resources, and no competition, no need to cooperate, and therefore no need for conventions, laws, institutions, or infrastructure. As humans we have imperfect knowledge, imperfect reason, imperfect mindfulness, imperfect emotions, limited range of actions, limited resources, and we live in a world where we must compete, must cooperate to compete, and to do so require conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure. So, Agency consists of the degree to which one approaches perfect ability to act, when not limited by knowledge, reason, emotions, mindfulness, range of action, available instrumentation, available resources, competition, cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions and infrastructure. Given we can never have unlimited knowledge, unlimited resources, and we have limited ability to be free of competition, need for cooperation, conventions, laws, institutions, and infrastructure, we can seek largely to improve our knowledge, reason, mindfulness, and assets so that we maximize our agency within the available limits. CONVERSELY (VIA NEGATIVA) Remove sources of lack of fitness, lack of character (virtue), lack of resources, sources of normative and institutional resistance, sources of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit – all the impediments to agency – and agency will result.

It usually refers to a raw material – oil, cotton, cocoa, silver – but can also describe a manufactured product used to make other things, for example, microchips used in personal computers. COMMON LAW(law)– Legally binding rules or principles of justice developed in the course of history from the gradual accumulation of rulings by judges in individual cases, as differentiated from the kind of statute law embodied in special legal codes or statutes enacted by legislative assemblies or imposed by executive decrees. The importance of the common law heritage is particularly great in the legal systems of Great Britain and of most former British colonies, including the U.S. COMMONS(law, economics) – Originally, meaning Land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community. More articulately: any form of property to which members of a group share an interests, but where that interest is obtained by an unspecified membership in the group rather than by explicit possession of title. I use this term to refer to both physical property and normative commons. The problem with commons is that without shares, even un-tradable shares, the ownership of the commons cannot be protected from confiscation by various means including immigration, or political confiscation. DECIDABILTY, DECIDABLE vs DISCRETION (testimony)

In the REVERSE: a question (statement) is DECIDABLE if an algorithm (set of operations) exists within the limits of the system (rules, axioms, theories) that can produce a decision (choice). In other words, if the sufficient information for the decision is present (ie: is decidable) within the “system”(ie: grammar).

In the OBVERSE: Instead, we should determine if there is a means of choosing without the need for additional information supplied from outside the system (ie: not discretionary).

Or in simple terms, if DISCRETION is necessary the question is undecidable, and if discretion is unnecessary, a proposition is decidable. This separates reason (or calculation in the wider sense) from computation (algorithm).DEMONSTRATED PROPERTY(law) – an expanded definition of property that is based upon the full scope of what humans consider to be property, based upon what they demonstrate that they consider to be property. Demonstrated Property is the definition of ‘property’ used in Propertarianism. EMOTIONS (psychology) – Emotions are reactions to changes in state of “capital” we refer to as Property in Toto that we either have, or might have: obtaining it, saving it, or holding options on past, present and future utility of it. That utility can reduce our physical, intellectual, emotional, reproductive, or time costs. Our “values” influence us in the sense that the value we attribute to any given form of capital varies according to our gender, class, ability, condition, and inventory of existing capital. EMPIRICAL (testimony)– “Empirical” means observable, and therefore measurable, and therefore commensurable, and therefore open to tests of coherence. Empirical: Reciprocally Observable, and therefore agreeable, or disagreeable.

1. Empirical means observable such that claims can be intersubjectively verifiable or falsifiable: meaning the observation can be “agreed or disagreed upon”;
2. in addition it means a sufficient volume of observations that we falsify the fragility of episodic memories, our tendency to err, our tendency to find patterns that don’t exist, or to bias the results, and to use both to deceive ;
3. in addition it means using physical instruments of measurement to compensate for the limits of our senses, perception, and the resulting limits to intuition, prediction, and memory;
4. in addition it means using logical instruments of measurement (testing) of constant, contingent, inconstant, and non-relations to compensate for the limits of our intuition, imagination, prediction, and reason and as such to prevent claims made in ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.
5. together consisting of tests of reciprocity of information, and the possibility of Agreement or disagreement by reciprocity of information using due diligence in the falsification of sense, perception, intuition, prediction, and claim by RECIPROCAL due diligence using quantity, quality, consistency, causality.

See the value of operational language? If you have the words for it, most philosophical discourses is rendered nonsense. See how law (competition) differs from philosophy by reduction to reciprocity not the self (philosophical justification)? Like I said, in almost all cases philosophical questions are sophisms due to idealism rather than realism – operational language. EXTERNALITY, EXTERNALITIES(law, economics) – An economic side-effect. Externalities are costs or benefits arising from an economic activity that affects somebody other than the people engaged in economic activity and are not reflected fully in PRICES. Positive Externality: A positive externality is a side-effect produced by taking an action that causes an involuntary increase in an individual’s inventory of property-in-toto* (Most normative commons are constructed by way of positive externalities) Negative Externality: A negative externality is a side-effect produced by taking an action that causes an involuntary decrease in an individual’s inventory of property-in-toto*   (Immoral actions produce negative externalities, moral actions do not) GHETTO ETHICS (Abrahamism)– literally, the ethics of the medieval urban ghetto. As a ‘state within a state’ residents of the ghetto can conduct exchange as if they are state actors by relying upon high trust exchange in-group, while using low trust exchange out-group. However, in any polity, each of us cannot act as a ‘state’ by applying low trust with some and high trust with others because the net result is a near-universally low trust society for the vast majority. In such an environment demand for the state and its interventions as a proxy for trust remains high, since low trust is by definition the use of cunning and deception to obtain discounts and premiums that the opposite party would not tolerate willingly. In other words, low trust ethics are parasitic, and impose high transaction costs on the population. The underlying point I’m making is the absurdity of using the model of a state within a state to advocate for a stateless society. In that lens the entire Rothbardian project is… well, absurdly illogical. Laughable even. Aristocratic egalitarianism (the protestant ethic) suppresses all cheating such that demand for the state is low because transaction costs and conflicts are minimized, while the velocity of production and exchange is high.

ALIENABLE: able to be transferred to new ownership. ALIENATION: the transfer of the ownership of property rights. INALIENABLE:  incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred In property law, the possessor may not have the right to sell a parcel of land—no right of alienation. So the parcel is “inalienable” as to the possessor. We are used to seeing the term in the context of rights. Inalienable rights. Rights that cannot be taken away from you without violating Natural Law. But what about the other application of the principle? You CAN’T transfer the right of self defense. You have no ability to alienate a right if the right is inalienable. You can pay/incentivize someone to help you defend yourself, but you can’t transfer the right away.. This is brilliant and true and the consequences of trying to transfer your duty in this regard result in loss of sovereignty. In the US we still have the ability to be sovereign, but we have not behaved sovereign for quite some time as a population and that needs to change immediately if not sooner. Militia service is costly in the sense that it takes time, preparedness, planning, etc which is why people have offloaded the cost of sovereignty onto other extralegal organizations. Having “police” incentivizes the shift of the cost of sovereignty onto those willing to serve for a price and it moves the common man away from maximizing his agency in a setting of aristocratic egalitarianism and peerage and puts the common man in the position of submissive subject. |LAW| Transcendence > Sovereignty + Reciprocity (One Law) > Insurer (Court) (King / Judge of last resort) > The Discovered Law > The Referee (Judge) > The Jury -> The Thang -> The Senate -> { the King/Monarchy, the Senate/Lords(oligarchy) And the House (industry) and the Church (families) and the “those who have only the law to defend them – the underclasses”}. |LONG CYCLE OF HISTORY| {MALE EVOLUTIONARY TERRITORIAL: Fast Western > Medium Rational Eastern > Slow Narrative Indian Indian} vs FEMALE DEVOLUTIONARY MIGRATORY: Supernatural Semitic counter-evolutionary strategy.

OPERATIONALISM, OPERATIONISM, INTUITIONISM

OPERATIONALISM (PHYSICS): Operationalism is physics was important because it demonstrated that we expended a great deal of time and money by NOT practicing operationalism and that Einstein’s innovation should have been much earlier and could have been if we had practiced it.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/operationalism/

INTUITIONISM (MATHEMATICS): Intuitionism in mathematics was less important because there are few if any externalities produced by classical mathematical operations other than the psychological fallacy that there exists some separate mathematical reality. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/intuitionism/ See Also: Constructive Mathematics:

ECONOMIC INTUITIONISM/OPERATIONALISM IS MEANINGFUL: Therefore the HIGHEST moral requirement for demonstration of construction is in the domain of economics wherein the greatest externalities are caused by economic policy.

OPERATIONISM (PSYCHOLOGY): Operationism in psychology was important in the recent transformation of psychology from a pseudoscience, to an experimental discipline, and because psychologists do produce, and did produce negative externalities – harm, to others. Not the least of which was multiple generations suffering from illnesses cast as cognitive problems. http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/199/1/operat.htm

DEFINITION: PARSIMONY “Lowest cost across all dimensions testable by man”

EXPANSION – Given human faculties: sense, disambiguation (constant relations), perception(integration-prediction), auto-association-prediction, attention-prediction (will), recursion-prediction, and release of actions; – And dimensions of tests of constant relations: free associative, categorical, logical, empirical, operational, rational choice, reciprocal rational choice, completeness; Parsimony must refer to:

“Lowest Cost”, expanded to:

the lowest cost (least information), description of a chain of causation surviving tests of: entropy, realism, naturalism, operationalism, and;

bounded rational self interest:

in the seizure of opportunity, from the field of identified opportunities, given the opportunity cost of the opportunity, determined by competition for the greatest return in the shortest time for the least effort, with the greatest certainty at the lowest risk, to the point of disequilibrium and subsequent re-equilibration, eliminating the opportunity from the field of opportunities.

and

reciprocity (repeating the above) is the only productive rather than parasitic (costly) means of interaction. (- although parasitism and predation are profitable means of interaction, they are consumptive not productive.) The difference between: – Testimony (due diligence by self), – Coherence(consistency by audience), – Parsimony(competition by market), … is grammatical (point-of-view), and an application of and conformity to, – the law of epistemology (free association-idea-> hypothesis-surviving > theory-surviving > application-surviving)

I can fuss with this a bit to make it as tight as reciprocity and testimony, or any of the other definitions, but ‘skeptical subjective testing against Occam’s Razor serves as the colloquial reduction.POWER, PARETO, NASH DISTRIBUTIONS, EQUILIBRIUMS ( economics, sociology, politics)

VI – Evil z.

Medical (Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment), – Advisory. Clinical (Research and field trials), – Required. Procedural (EMT, Nurses, Operating rooms.) – Strictest. RECIPROCITY (economics, law): the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit, especially privileges granted by one individual, group, organization, polity, or country to another. REFERRER, REFERENT (REFERENCE), CO-REFERENTIAL(Linguistics)– A referrer or reference is the symbol or name that refers to a person, thing, or idea. Note that we use the term “Referrer” rather than reference. A referent is a person or thing to which a name – a linguistic expression or other symbol – refers.   A referrer and a referent refer to one another and are therefore co-referential. RENT SEEKING (Economics) – In public choice theory as well as in economics, rent-seeking means seeking to increase one’s share of existing wealth without creating new wealth. Simple Version: “Corruption from outside the government inside of inside the government.”

NOUN 1. the fact or practice of manipulating public policy or economic conditions as a strategy for increasing profits. “cronyism and rent-seeking have become an integral part of the way our biggest companies do business”

ADJECTIVE 1. engaging in or involving the manipulation of public policy or economic conditions as a strategy for increasing profits. “rent-seeking lobbyists” Rent-seeking results in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth-creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality, and potential national decline. In its original sense, rent seeking is the act of gaining partial ownership of land in order to gain control of a part of its production. In government it is the act of gaining privileges, redistribution or partial monopolies. In its broadest sense it is the act of obtaining some sort if claim on the productivity of others rather than producing something ones self, or through voluntary exchange. We all seek rents. We all seek opportunity for benefitting from either the actions of our organizations, the actions of others, or the grant of state state monopolies. Women seek mates as monetary rents and men to ease the burden of childrearing. We all seek rents. We could argue that rent seeking is the primary incentive for cooperation. Because so few of us are productive enough through direct exchange of our efforts. The only rent thats totally moral is interest. Interest is free of involuntary transfer. Interest, in the sense that we rent money to others, contrary to our superstitions, is moral. Now, It is possible to seek rents via interest. Either through usury or through leveraging the state’s fiat money. One can collect interest on production. On can collect interest on consumption. Neither of these things is necessary. Both are voluntary. Neither produce negative externalities. They create whole sequences of positive externalities. But collecting interest on externalities is immoral if it creates externalities that produce involuntary transfers. Rothbards ghetto ethics actually encourage involuntary transfers. Under the false presumption that the market will solve the problem through competition. But Since all things being equal, profit from externalities is greater than the same loan without externalities, just the opposite is true. The market will encourage externalities. Also, ghetto ethics assume that judges will not hold people accountable for those externalities and require restitution of them. But they have and will. Because it is consistent with the ethics of property to do so. STRICT CONSTRUCTION (law): Strict Construction is an abused term where the courts instead use the terms Textualism and Original Intent. But under Propertarian property rights theory, Strict Construction refers to requiring that any law passed be accompanied by argument showing that such a law is specifically authorized by the constitution. In other words, laws constitute permissible legal operations. And none of them can violate property rights. This is important because otherwise, if discretion is required, then judges can insert deception, imaginary content, bias and error into the body of law. (As they have done, circumventing the legislature, the constitution, and property rights.) As such the principle of Propertarian Strict Construction (as opposed to Textualism’s strict construction) requires that we operationally define the construct of all any law. This principle is important because laws have the greatest effect on a polity – and often the greatest unintended effect upon individuals and the polity. TRUST (psychology, sociology, law): Where one party experiences mindfulness in predicting that the intertemporal actions of another party, will not impose costs upon one’s demonstrated intersets; and to advance mutual interests given the opportunity; within the limits of demand for bearing the costs of doing so. I might refine that a bit but it’s pretty good.
