Science: whistle blowing, no secrets.

A system is a sequence of states. The archetypal deterministic system is the Turing machine in which the nature and order of all the branches on the tree is predetermined.

Platonic mathematics is based on an unrealizable fiction, that we can really describe a continuum using sets of discrete and identifiable points. Cantor faced this difficulty when he set out to learn the cardinal of the continuum, a measure that cannot be fixed by set theory because the concept of set is symmetrical with respect to both cardinality and ordinality. Cohen showed that there is no information to be had about the cardinal of the continuum from set theory. We are therefore free to exploit the relativity of transfinity and cut the physical realization of universal dynamics, beginning with the assumption that ℵ0 corresponds to 2, ℵ1 to 4, ℵ2 to 16 and ℵ3 to 64k, ie 216.
The fundamental operation in set theory is establishing correspondences by which we count [compare] things and order them by size and other attributes.

Relativity of transfinity and symmetry with respect to size [pretty much the same idea?].By removing determinism (= discreteness) from the continuum we shift the source of indeterminism in quantum mechanics from some mysterious attribute of the act of observation to the fact that no part of the system is defined beyond the resolution limit represented by Planck's constant. From this point of view of the leap from 1 to 2, or adding one in general, is identical to the leap from ℵn to ℵn+1, just that, a jump across a concrete chasm to something simply greater that the initial state. In this way Cantor's cardinals are isomorphic to Peano's integers. So we construct the world from two components, the observable fixed points and the dynamic and invisible transitions between these points, some of which are deterministic but most of which are not because unresolved (undigitized) in the zone of interest. Among other things this interpretation of the physical uncertainty in the world delivers something of a blow to the hopes of quantum computers: its all in the resolution = rate of action (energy, momentum).
Historically, the symmetry is that the term 'action' has had a pretty definite meaning from a long time ago because an action itself, the transition from state A to state B, is itself clearly observable, like the shoe factory demolished by a boiler explosion.The same amount of action may be embedded in a quick high energy event or a slow low energy /low momentum event (projections of an event into spacetime. Space enables complexification by serving as a the memory necessary to determine complex chains of
[page 11]
events, ie the execution of a code.
Increasing resolution brings out previously hidden detail, in both jnowledge and reality, as the Universe details itself and we get to learn the details.
CREATION vs COMPUTATION. From a computational point of view.
Definition / entropy / requisite vriety.
How do we map these various logical and computational models of the world with the actual physics? Accept lack of definition. This does not detract from the divine dynamics, it just measures the entropy in the area of interest.
Logicians do not like leaping in the dark. They want everything to be determined by perfect error free execution of actions of infinite resolution.
Uncertainty principle is a consequence of local machine infinity — the machine can resolve no higher cardinal.
The inconsistency involved in representing the continuous by the discrete lies at the heart of the mystery of quantum mechanics. It is not a mystery because something is hidden, however, but because there us nothing there to observe in the first place, the edge of the deterministic world.
I am verging on a radical renovation of theology comparable to the work associated with the name Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ (messiah)
[page 11]
Here is the radical perversion. One of the most beautiful, sensual and sexy being in my world was myself, but the Church made it very clear to me that all this delicious pleasure was a terrible sin, damning me to eternal punishment in the fires of hell. Here dogma and experience are poles apart, and this discrepancy is destroying the Church. The evils of child abuse coming to the surface in the Church [despite efforts to cover them up] are manifestations of a much deeper malaise, the conflict between Catholic dogma and reality. This conflict has played a dramatic part in my life.

Ludlow: NYT 'Understanding deception and how it can be exposed has been a principle project of philosophy for the last 2500 years. And it is a place where the work of philosophers, journalists and other truth-seekers can meet.'
It is clear that the Roman Catholic Church is in need of radical reform and the root of such reform must be epistemological, the Church must embrace the scientific method. Its policies must become evidence based, ie responsive to contemporary realities rather than ancient fictions.

My role as a plumber is to couple independent entities (pipes and fittings) in a watertight manner., thus directing the supply of water to where it is wanted rather than unwanted. Water is an item of value, like money. The money system is very leaky, much money being used to compromise the public system for private gain, ie leakage of public power into private hands.

Faith can move mountains, they say. The mountain I wish to move is the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, and I believe I have the faith to do it., even though my efforts may take a while to bear fruit, given the immense size and institutional momentum of the corporation to be turned around.
We begin epistemology with Parmenides, who overlooked the dynamic aspect of knowledge and embedded ideas like eternity and infallibility in the Western mind. But God is a living God,m dynamic, flowing, ever changing but nevertheless bound by a set of fixed points which we describe by the Cantor Universe made dynamic with computers.
We deal with the layers of corruption in the Church, beginning with money and fair trade and moving through sexuality to epistemology.
GoodNewsIII, Judaeo-ChristianityIII. The belief motivating this site is that science can do for Christiantiy what Christianbity Judaism, taking a moribund [minority] religion and reinvigorating it with new doctrines and new motivations. Today, while Christians are numbered in billions, those of the Judaic faith are numbered in tens of millions, one hundred times smaller. What science shows is how to conceive a religion acceptable to everybody based on a scientific theology.

Fixed points and dynamics are logically bound to one another by the likes of Brouwer's theorem (Agarwal). So we can manipulate the fixed points through the dynamics a (the process) and manipulate the process by moving the fixed points, as in a chemical process plant, eg Lynas. This seems to be in some way connected to Einstein's general covariance, the dynamic reference mollusc.
From Einstein via Hawking and Ellis we learn that the Universe began as a structureless 'singularity' whose existence has and needs no explanation, an entity equivalent to the classical mystical model of God, Cloud of Unknowing, etc. Anonymous
Although I have a strong desire for recognition and money, time spent trying to achieve these ends seems wasted in the face of the enormous progress I am making (in my own mind) in the elucidation of my model of God. Faith is induced by fit, the more elements of life the model fits the more credible it becomes. We can see that Yahweh matched very closely the experiences of his subjects, who were subject to all the ills of primitive human life and quite rightly thought that their troubles were the result of incorrect action, although they interpreted this as an offence against a person rather than poor management of themselves and their environment. We must remember that they were ignorant and powerless from the modern point of view. We may assume that they were just as smart as we are and found their environment just as mystifying. Perhaps as the story begins to look more perfect, the prophetic urge will grow to overcome my shyness and desire for a quiet life.
Waugh, Letter, Page 707: 'I was greatly cheered to read yesterday of the rebuffs given to Cardinal Bea at Patras. That

should put off ecumenism for a millennium.' Elitism? Waugh
The process of creation is the same for every layer because it is symmetrical with respect to complexity, that is entropy, in the same way as dynamics is indifferent to the number of fixed points that it contains.
In a function space a Turing machine is a fixed point, an eigenfunction.
The Platonic world is the asymptotes of the dynamics, the boundary or envelope.
We can have a picture of the world that explains the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in science, it its utility as a toolkit for connecting the observed dots into an 'explained' whole.
