On the Limits of Mathematics
Jan 5, 2020, 3:52 PM 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
Jan 5, 2020, 3:53 PM 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 lend to each other, in presumption of future returns on that investment or debt. We don’t violate that physical law. Because humans observe reciprocity (equilibrium) just as the physical world obeys equilibrium (entropy). If we didn’t we wouldn’t be here. And so 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 can 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? ………………What Limits?………………. ………………………|………………………… …………….Human Actions…………….. ……………..Consciousness……………. …………………Sentience……………….. …………………….Life……………………… …………………./…………………………… ……….subatomic..macro-atomic….. ………………./…………………………….. ……….?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”.

Why Is There Oil in The Middle East? (lessons)
Jan 9, 2020, 3:52 PM Hydrocarbons are from dead organic material – and you need an astonishing set of circumstances to make oil out of these things and preserve them. First, you’ve got to concentrate them somewhere where they’re not dispersed or oxidized – which means in swamps, marshes, lakes or something like that. (See “Peat Marshes” and “Bog Bodies”.) Then you’ve got to heat them up slowly over a long, long period to cook them up to make oil. And then, when they make oil and start to ‘ferment’, you’ve got to have some way of trapping the liquid and the gas. All these things, it turns out, happen on the margins of continents. Sediments just get washed in, and all those dead things get buried deeper and deeper and gently get cooked for a long time. So, the circumstances for making oil are very good on the margins of continents. Especially the margins of oceans that aren’t on a plate boundary – because there are no earthquakes there. Now, what happened in Saudi Arabia is that that happened to be on the margin of a huge ocean which separated Asia from the southern continents. So, a hundred million years ago, Africa, India and Arabia were all a long way further south from where they are now and they’ve all moved north and bashed into Asia. One of those places is [what is now] Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq. And what’s happened is the margin of that ocean, with the margins of Arabia, and Africa and India, have all just popped up above sea level from the pressure of colliding together. Millions of years ago, most of the Middle East was covered by what scientists call the Tethys Ocean (aka Tethys Sea). Rivers flowing into the ocean gave rise to trillions of microscopic organisms and other marine plants and animals. The corpses of these organisms on the ocean floor is where oil (and natural gas) comes from. This is why they are called fossil fuels. Over millions of years, this decomposing organic material became covered by miles of new organic matter and also the sand and salt flowing in from the rivers and streams. Yes, salt flows into the ocean from freshwater rivers and streams. Anyway, these layers became more and more packed as newer layers formed on top of the previous layers. The pressure and heat from these upper layers change the buried organic matter into a sludgy substance of hydrocarbons and other compounds that constitute what we know as crude oil. Theoretically, as long as marine life keeps dying, oil will keep being created So it’s not that there is more oil in the middle east than anywhere else. There’s loads of oil on the other continental margins – but that’s all underwater. It’s hard and expensive to get out. Whereas in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq it’s popped up nicely above sea level and also in. So it’s actually extremely easy to find, an cheap to take out. It’s just more that it is conveniently situated than anything else.
