I feel the 'stress energy' of a new world being born. Energy appears when there is stress and works to dissipate that stress by creating a way (new structures) to deal with the source of the stress. Competition for resources, motivated by some sort of rationing (either per price, or per capita or per . . . )

Earthquakes: stress is reduced by motion, which is

associated with energy.

Brainwashing (broad definition) passing information to an entity without providing that entity with the means to measure the value of that information.

The cycle of life action ( = passion) --> formalism ---> action . . .

All elements are superposed. Each superposition contains all the possibilities, but they are communicated at different frequencies.

The word of magic: ei theta = cos (theta) + 1 sin (theta).

Every utterance by an entity is an experiment (preparation) designed to elicit some response from the environment of the entity ( = [entity]).

Feynman, Richard P, and Robert B Leighton et al, The Feynman Lectures on Physics (volume 1) : Mainly Mechanics, Radiation and Heat, Addison Wesley 1963 Foreword: 'This book is based on a course of lectures in introductory physics given by Prof. R P Feynman at the California Institute of Technology during the academic year 1961-62. ... The lectures constitute a major part of a fundamental revision of the introductory course, carried out over a four year period. ... The need for a basic revision arose both from the rapid development of physics in recent decades and from the fact that entering freshmen have shown a stewady incrase in mathematical ability as a result of improvements in high school mathematical course content.'

Grenville, Kate, The Lieutenant, Canongate Books 2009 Amazon Product Description 'As a boy, Daniel Rooke was always an outsider. At school, he learned to hide his clever thoughts from his cruel peers; at home, his parents were bemused by their bookish son. Daniel could only hope - against all the evidence - that he would one day find his place in life. By 1788, Daniel has become Lieutenant Rooke, astronomer with the First Fleet as it lands on the unknown shores of New South Wales. As the newcomers struggle to establish a settlement for themselves and their cargo of convicts, and attempts are made to communicate with those who already inhabit this land, Rooke sets up his observatory to chart the stars. But the place where they have landed will prove far more revelatory than the night sky. Out on his isolated point, Rooke comes to know the local Aboriginal people, and forges a remarkable connection with one child, which will change his life in ways he never imagine.'

Jungk, Robert , Brighter than a Thousand Suns: A personal history of the atomic scientists (translated by James Cleugh) , Harcourt Brace 1970 Amazon customer review: By  Amazon customer review: 'Robert Jungk went to a lot of trouble to interview as many people as possible who'd worked on the A-bomb, and produced this well written history of the Manhatten Project. It's a bit dated, but if I had to recommend three books on this subject, this would be one of them (the others would be Richard Rhode's THE MAKING OF THE ATOMIC BOMB and Lillian Hoddeson's CRITICAL ASSEMBLY). There's interesting information in here I haven't read anywhere else, and I've read over a dozen books on the Manhatten Project.' Stephen M. St Onge

Polkinghorne, John, Quantum Physics and Theology: An Unexpected Kinship, Yale University Press 2008 Amazon Product Description 'Despite the differences of their subject matter, science and theology have a cousinly relationship, John Polkinghorne contends in his latest thought-provoking book.  From his unique perspective as both theoretical physicist and Anglican priest, Polkinghorne considers aspects of quantum physics and theology and demonstrates that the two truth-seeking enterprises are engaged in analogous rational techniques of inquiry. His exploration of the deep connections between science and theology shows with new clarity a common kinship in the search for truth.   The author identifies and explores key similarities in quantum physics and Christology. Among the many parallels he identifies are patterns of historical development in quantum physics and in Christology; wrestling with perplexities such as quantum interpretation and the problem of evil; and the drive for an overarching view in the Grand Unified Theories of physics and in Trinitarian theology. Both theology and science are propelled by a desire to understand the world through experienced reality, and Polkinghorne explains that their viewpoints are by no means mutually exclusive.'

With the realization that entanglement can occur in macroscopic systems -- and with the development of experiments aimed at exploiting this fact -- new tools are required to define and quantify entanglement beyond the original microscopic framework.

Variety (cybernetics) - Wikipedia Variety (cybernetics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'The term Variety was introduced by W. Ross Ashby to denote the count of the total number of states of a system. The condition for dynamic stability under perturbation (or input) was described by his Law of Requisite Variety. Ashby says: Thus, if the order of occurrence is ignored, the set {c, b, c, a, c, c, a, b, c, b, b, a} which contains twelve elements, contains only three distinct elements- a, b, c. Such a set will be said to have a variety of three elements. He adds The observer and his powers of discrimination may have to be specified if the variety is to be well defined. Variety can be stated as an integer, as above, or as the logarithm to the base 2 of the number i.e. in bits.' back
