  • Of Course You Aren’t Going to Understand P Off the Bat.

    Um. You know. If i asked you “How would you go about creating a value-neutral, cross-disciplinary, fully commensurable language that could survive in court under testimony in all matters of conflict.”, I’ll bet you can’t even begin to imagine where to start and how to go about it. So yeah, that’s Propertarianism (or that’s the spectrum within Propertarianism, including vitruvianism->metaphysics, acquisitionism->psychology, compatibilism->sociology, propertarianism->ethics, testimonialism->epistemology, and algorithmic natural law->politics). And it includes reformation of every one of the grammars (disciplines). So of COURSE you aren’t going to understand THAT LANGUAGE off the bat. You aren’t going to understand how to convert from IDEAL language (pretense of knowledge) we use today to REAL language (demonstrating knowledge). Worse you are not going to understand how to convert your thinking from simple human scale justification, to post human scale via negativa falsification, and finally into well formed statements in operational language. So please don’t waste my time until you catch up to the people who HAVE done so. Ok. Yeah. Thanks. sigh…

    BETWEEN THE IDEAL AND THE REAL: LIMITS

    The difference between the ideal and the real, is limits. There are no infinities of morality, or charity, any more than of resources or measurements. The unlimited=the ideal, and the l limited=the real. We have a deep desire for simple rules. But simple rules without limits – including christian love – are ideals (errors), not reals (judgments).

    No no no. It’s that I make, we make, a full accounting of costs. And we suppress free riding, parasitism, fraud, duplicity, and dysgenia. LIke I said. You are thieves and we defend capital. Hyperconsumption, vs Anti Parasitism.

    Now if we can only spend more effort on STEREOTYPES now that AI’s have confirmed what all of us also knew: Stereotypes are the most accurate measure in the social science, just as IQ is the most accurate measure in psychological science. Stereotypes survive market testing daily.

    The biggest scientific accomplishment of psychology since 1900 has been IQ. Yet we are constantly told that IQ is a fraud. So it’s not surprising that some psychologists understand that the public is being lied to about IQ and wonder what else of the conventional wisdom is a lie. https://t.co/u8HX1UfQoR

    Great Question: | DIMENSION | start limit > step > step > step > end limit. Where >, <, <-, and ->, state the direction. So you will see me use < < <, or > > >, or < < <- center -> > > depending upon the direction. It’s a “Dimension” definition, meaning an ordered range of values that are permissible for use in a property of a Class (definition). It defines the LIMITS (start and end) and COMPLETENESS (range of values), in PARSIMONIOUS FORM, thereby satisfying Testimonialism’s demand for both LIMITS and FULL ACCOUNTING for any warranty of due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. Given a Class (Table), consisting of (a) Properties(Attributes) and their Values (data), (b) Relations (references), and (c) Methods (internal operations), and (d) functions (external operations), a Dimension provides the range of values permissible for a property. It’ is a geometric (linear, serialize) method of defining a dimension (table of values). So we convert: |TEACHING| Reading to > Lecturing > Socratic Teaching > Running a grad seminar > Running an MBA/Law course (case studies) > Running a Competitive Game > Military Training.

Insert TEACHING: | TEACHING | 1, Reading to 2, Lecturing 3, Socratic Teaching 4, Running a grad seminar 5, Running an MBA/Law course (case studies) 6, Running a Competitive Game 7, Military Training (a tiny bit of the relational calculus) WHY? Because the grammars allow us to produce an N-Dimensional geometry of ‘meaning’. But that is not something I am going to put into this series of the work. It’s like putting equations in to it. So I’m using the Series instead. OK? Cheers

    CLOSE, BUT IT”S NOT JUST MATH, BUT ALGORITHMIC (OPERATIONAL).

    —“My sense is that Curt is more mathematically and scientifically oriented than he is literarily oriented. His syntax is almost algebraic at times.”— Joel Harvey

    That’s correct. I actually write in programmatic statements just like we write software. So

    |PARADIGMS(GRAMMARS)| Fictional (inflationary) > Literary(Meaningful) > testimonial(descriptive) > Algorithmic (programmatic, operations) > Scientific (correlative, statistical) > Logical (sets) > Mathematical (units).

    In fact, my writing looks almost identical to my pseudocode.

    I was taught in the era where we wrote pseudocode (outline in english) first to think through the logic, and in doing so write documentation, then to write the code itself (transactions).

    So yes, that is why you see what you see.

    And it is why I understood the possibility of algorithmic language of law….

    So there you go. Like I said. The reason I was able to complete Hayek’s program i is because I was born AFTER Turing and hayek was born BEFORE Turing.

    Now if I could just explain to all Austrians that austrian econ is the LAW of Economics rather than economics proper, they would understand both their discipline and what I have done with it.
