If gravitation is not quantized (encoded) we must expect it to travel at more than the velocity of light. Or perhaps to be outside spacetime.
Salart et al 'Testing the speed of 'spooky action at a distance' N 454:861. Salart
Gravitational waves (if any) are classical and travel at the velocity of light.
Twisted morality. It is surely within the powers of the epidemiological art to compute a reasonable estimate of the Pope's impact by comparing incidence of AIDS in areas where the Papal writ runs with those where he is not heard.
Philip Adams. But the problem is much deeper because the Catholic Church denies reality.

Protocols for a stable world.
I have survived another winter and my energy to write is returning.
Global physiology: Holism and cancer.
The world is a network. Everywhere we look, there are messages running to and fro. Every message is a particle, that is physically embodied information whether it be a mathematical symbol written in ink or the vast amount of information contained in a supertanker full of oil.
. . .
The internet is self explanatory through such sites as those run by the W3C which strives to maintain open and public standards n the face of the maverick morons like Microsoft who wish to privatize protocols, rather like the Roman Catholic Church.
Perverse subsidies; perverse morality.

The heart of mathematical physics is the formal structure known as the harmonic oscillator. This began in antiquity
[page 92]
with the studies of musical intervals and came into its own when Newton discovered and applied differential calculus to the study of motion. Then it was found that musical harmonies (and harmonics) corresponded to the stationary points (eigenvalues) of certain differential operators. This idea combined with Cantor's set theory, gave us quantum mechanics.
Heaven as an evil, giving us unreal expectations.
Is heaven evil?
Evolution is intelligent design.

On institutional fidelity
Descartes: Where does the mind join the body? We can only understand this through the network model.
Physical layer - metaphysical layer. The fundamental dynamic duality, which is founded in the ultimate physical (meaningless) layer and grows metaphysical ad infinitum.
The shorter the article the more personal it must be since it is at the personal and not the abstract level that we share protocols with the largest space of people. Only a tiny proportion of the population has a detailed knowledge of the mechanics of quantum mechanics.
[page 93]
SOUL = LAYER
The soul is the network of operations that makes us what we are.
. . .
PHYSICS - HARDWARE (cumulative)
SOUL - SOFTWARE (position sensitive)
CUMULATIVE = MEANINGLESS
POSITION SENSITIVE = MEANINGFUL
In position sensitive notation it is the position that confers the range of value on the symbol in the position (parameter). The range of value may be multidimensional represented (eg) by a matrix)
Quantum mechanics - the simplest god is purely linear = cumulative = cardinal number.
The metaphysical layer gives meaning to the physical layer and at any given point the succession of metaphysical layers is parametrized by time.
COMMUNICATION = TRANSFORMATION

My mind is a collection of intersecting strings, one leading to another, each string representing a motion, event, transformation or communication.
I probably decided long ago not to fight the church but to develop an alternative product of such transparent quality that it would quickly become an important preference. The application of the abstract model, however, requires critical comparison of different points of view.
Every event in the world in quantum mechanically isomorphic to an act of insight which in quantum formalism is the diagonalization of a matrix, ie the discovery of a basis for the operator that is operating, ie finding eigenvectors and eigenvalues which translate stationary points in the action, ie (in music) resonances, ie maps between a potential and the resulting dynamics. So the quantum harmonic oscillator operates between a countable infinity of distinct 'number' states.
When I finally find the right form of words, the position will be seen to be consistent and complete physically while incomplete metaphysically.
