At this point words are all I've got and the strategy seems to be to spread the words as widely as possible, hoping that someone will understand what I am getting at and make contact. The ultimate need is to generate a community of people who see value in the overall project, even though there is not a lot of detail at this point and it is spread over a large volume of notes. At the same time as this very discursive presentation of the picture in the form of almost random pixels (paragraphs) I also try to bring it down to simple slogans and clear analogies. Lately I have been moving more toward marketing that product development becasue it is nice to see things grow.

Laughter and humour are the saving graces for difficult situations for me. It was disappointing to learn somewhere in school that humour was alien to God because he knew all the punchlines and could see all the angles already and so there was no surprise and no fun. It looks likes Gödel's theorems provide a way out of this one because no consistent God can constrain the future.
Sometimes I wonder whether I can be bothered publishing all these ideas and should not just relax into old age and retirement and have a quiet life. If my hypothesis gains any traction, it is pretty certain to attract a lot of attention and the usual ad hominem arguments. On the whole, as long as there is not too much physical danger, I would enjoy this. But the natural desire to pass on knowledge

and try to clean up one's environment for the sake of the family seems to dominate. And perhaps the possibility of income in some form or another, preferably from writing.
Permutation- angle in Hilbert space (function space) ie phase.
Becoming political ≡ turning prophetic ≡ feeling a need to change one's environment for the (personal) better.
What does normalization mean in terms of permutation. For permuting electrons (at low energy eg) the number of electrons remains constant and Fermi-Dirac statistics apply, one electron per state.

From a physical point of view, quantum mechanics is an infinite dimensional theory that we use to define a one dimensional sequence of events [the set of events from which each subsequent event in the sequence may be chosen is infinite]. The dimension is not space or time but an orded sequence set of points. I find it easiest to imagine it as a line, since I see either time flowing past me or me moving through time, physically indistinguishable situations described in different words. This position is made easier by the Aristotelian (and Scholastic) 'definition'of time numerus motus secundum prius et posterius. Mostly, I suppose, I see myself as a fixed pint moving along my lifeline punctuated by birth, death and birthdays [and all the other events of my life at all scales]. Catholic Apologetics Information
We fel safe when we are surrounded by people who think like we do. All that is really needed for security is that everybody acts toward one another fairly and non violently regardless of what they think or say. Freedom if speech implies freedom of mind

From the point of view of this site all people are members of the broadest possible church which rejects only those who act against humanity criminals against humanity (Robertson). Natural religion is broad enough to embrace all human religions, just as science embraces all conscientious and communicative investigators.
Imperialism / propaganda /education all initially ways of getting people to think like us by violence, lies or per pressure, although in later decades some educators have opened toward creativity rather than rote learning. Australian Catholic University

We an understand quantum mechanics by comparing it to the internet. One of the beauties of the internet is that it is transparent and self-documenting, so that you can look up any feature you like and learn how it works, how to use it, who looks after it and so on. There are of course a few on the internet who wish to pervert it in one way or another, but any successful attack soon bring son an antidote so we see the immune system of the internet evolving in a way analogous to our own immune systems which protect us from those (including our own conscious selves) who wish to use us for food or cheat on us one way or another.

In terms of power and funding we may guess that the majority of network perverts are government agencies of the sort revealed by Edward Snowden and investigative journalists. Edward Snowden - Wikipedia

Movement is the answer to pain, moving away from the source of pain. To be trapped (as by social forces in an unsatisfactory relationship) is to be trapped in pain, as is to be incarcerated, tied up or any other form of physical or mental constraint. Organizations like the Roman Catholic Church trap people on unrealistic dogma's and prevent motion by promising even greater pain if their victims object. Movement is necessary to correct error, a position fundamentally denied by fundamentalism.
Liberated = free and able to deal with life's problems as they arise. One may see the purpose of government as to provide the conditions for liberation, which include human rights, health services, infrastructure, employment etc.
The limited space on my bookmarks bar (Safari) leads to an evolutionary process as the least favoured URL is deleted to make room for the new favourite. This same pressure also leads to shorter nicknames so more sited can be addressed.
Words are all I have and they must speak for themselves.
Ie liberation is a matter of environment, tools (techniques) and energy to activate the tools.
The foundation of determinism in a practical computer [is] a clock and the fundmental difference between a network.
[page 148]
and a computer is that the network has many clocks, a computer just one.
