Quinlan / Ogilvie-white. I consider all these people (and all the authors I read) as peers insofar as I think I understand them and have contributions of equal weight to contribute to the debate on a peaceful, just and sustainable future. Quinlan
I want to come out at the top (theological) level to debate about good global governance.
The nuclear sanction prevents escalation, The nuclear sanction is to be controlled by the theological sanction, the word of god written in the book of nature.
Symmetry breaking = decision making --> decidability + computability
Deter from violence: deterrence = control by threats of violence rather than by mutual understanding. Theology, natural theology, aims for mutual understanding.
Does every entity in the Universe feel a potential analogous to the human desire to engage in reproductive behaviour = communication. As you read this you reproduce me in yourself -- these words are a virus.
HELL vs HEAVEN
Get it right dispassionately, remembering that dispassion is merely the set of stationary points in the passionate
[page 87]
(dynamic) so that we must begin with the passion in the search for the fixed points.
Aquinas got passion wrong: It is actus purus, not pain (= error).
To the fighter (and fucker) NN who has done more to inspire this work that she will ever know.
Passion in action.
Actual and potential are peers. This explains superposition.
Differential equation = fixed point says it all. The fixed points are the wrestlers. They are working toward another fixed point, pin or submission.

I am quite happy in my delusion (form) now and am beginning to think about going for broke. This is simply investing a large amount of my time in completion of the websites.
Summa has 3000 ish articles. (Editiones Paulinae has 2699, excluding Supplementum) Aquinas
NT 2000 pages?
Mutual Assured Destruction is not fail safe. May be community is?
The trouble with the global financial system is that it has very low or zero momentum and so reacts quite vigorously to small forces like rumours of defaults or bonanzas. We are saved by the huge momentum of the real economy which, while coupled to the money system, requires much more than a rumour to move it since so much real capital is involved, machines and skills. 'Despite' the Global Financial Crisis, many businesses are doing quite well, the more so as their products are more essential rather than more imaginative.
We give stability to the market by increasing rather than decreasing transaction costs.

Since there are only a countable number of computable functions, we must ask ourselves how can computers be effective in the higher reaches of the transfinite network. We note, on the way to an answer, that
[page 89]
there are only a countable number of discrete messages in any message space, although there is no limit on the complexity of any message. The lengths of messages tend to infinity as the transmission systems approaches the ideal of infinite messages, infinite delay and zero error. The limited number of messages means that they can all be named with natural numbers and then computationally manipulated by manipulating the names. This is the way national bureaucracies deal with their subjects even though people are in themselves transfinite. So the key is meaning, ie ID, the secure mapping of human individuals to names.
As I get older I feel more strongly that there is no point in trying to force the mind, I was brought up on the work ethic coloured by the Christian view of the Fall, that somehow work is a punishment for sin, it is not meant to be pleasant, but, because of sin, it must be done, in a general way this sentence is true if we substitute error for sin, and the confusion for error. The answer to error and sin works back the other way : we work to reduce confusion.
We introduce Platonic and Aristotelian forms to this document by assuming the equation form = state in the quantum mechanical sense, ie a form is equivalent to an ordered set. The perfectly encoded sert of messages is indistinguishable from a string of random numbers from which we can extract very little information. The meaning of these apparently random strings can only be discerned if we know the transformations by which these strings are encoded and decoded. Once we know the code, we can understand the ordering of the string We see that the ordering is natural.

Meaning ==> computability

Because I am still rather in the dark, I cannot yet produce a systematic exposition of my idea, but aim instead for a covering. Like spray painting a wall, I aim to cover the field with a profusion of tiny dots that because they strike at random and with the help of the law of large numbers eventually cover the surface (helped by their mutual consistency, which gives them the power to coalesce).

God = pure act = Universe

Dear Mum,
As you might have guessed, my life's work is to replace Christian theology with something better. I began when I was born into a Christian family, continued when I took my Christianity seriously enough to enter the religious life as a monk / seminarian. Became essential when my detailed study of Christian doctrine convinced me it was flawed and really got going when I finally settled in [here] thirty three years ago.
Quantum mechanics - its all a matter of phase = timing.
