Every person as a vector in human space, quote Veltman. We maximize the entropy of the space if we make the vectors equiprobable. It is an entropy thing. Veltman: Diagrammatica

Deighton Sinker page 57: H. G. Wells: ' "We live in a society full of preventable disorders, preventable diseases and preventable pain, of harshness and stupid unpremeditated cruelties.
Is the beatific vision better than sex? Yes, because sex is a subset of the beatific vision, which contains a wide range of other pleasures (the seven deadly sins?). A modern theology and religion must integrate sex, and in fact all potentials from gravitation to God. The Catholic taught me that sex (and sensuality in general) are inherently sinful, or at least not good, and that sex is only permissible when used in a businesslike manner to conceive children within the bonds of matrimony. No sexual play permitted. Seven deadly sins - Wikipedia
Gradually understanding momentum as a state which can be changed by action. The amount of change necessary is measured by mass, which is equivalent to energy which is equivalent to rate of action. When we change momentum we change the rate of action by applying a force, which is a flow of momentum, that is a flow of process, changing the states of memories, ie changing messages, erasing old and downloading new.
FORCE = BANDWIDTH [if we abstract from meaning]
. . .
Insight = intellectual orgasm = Thomas' version of the beatific vision. He was a man clearly prejudiced against sex by some combination of upbringing and inclination. And there is a certain truth in it: a good idea is on a par with a good fuck and both blend into the overall pleasures of life. The marketing of natural religion can be based on pleasure, as the Catholic Church offers the beatific vision.

The most interesting thing about gravitation is that it interacts with itself the say formalism interacts with itself; Cretan says all Cretans are liars. Liar paradox - Wikipedia
Stalking an idea is a bit like falling in love. I can see it sitting there but I am reluctant to grab it yet. I think I want to see gravitation in the light of the Trinity as the first appearance of structure, that is stationary points in the Universe, the first layer on top of pure action when some 'essence' is implemented by the abstract order of a higher layer controlling the behaviour of a lower layer, ie the advent of meaning on top of a physical system of completely independent symbols.
The dynamics of gravitation is not something that takes place 'in' spacetime, it is spacetime itself, just as the dynamics of the other forces is identical to the state space in which these forces act. So the notion that QED takes place in a continuous 4-space is incorrect (I think). Electrodynamic space and electrodynamics are in a fundamental way the same, as are human dynamics and human space [we create our space as we move in it].

Wrestling for a pin, ie a fixed point controlled by the winner. On this analogy, my ambition is to pin the Catholic Church. I need not tell you how bad the Church is. If you have been following the Royal Commission you will have caught a glimpse of the most abhorrent area of abuse, the use of children for sexual persons by persons who have taken vows of chastity and were considered by the Church to be beyond the reach of civil [and criminal] law. Beneath this apogee of abuse was a world of other abuse from corporal punishment to psychological abuse. One teacher, [John Hooper] a priest [now dead], called me a round shouldered slob, something I have remembered. Australian Government: Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
The source of all this abuse is clear. The Church is not of this world. It is a creation of the ancient doctrine of the divine right of Kings [used extensively by Moses in the Book of Exodus]. It is 800 years since our forebears signed the Magna Carta and placed the first restraints on the absolute monarch. The Pope, on the other hand, remains an absolute monarch [not just in the external forum, but in the internal forum also]. And infallible to boot. And this absolute power has corrupted the Church absolutely. It demands that its fantasy world recorded in the history of salvation is truer than the real world. like Procrustes, the ecclesiastical powers that be would crush us into anonymous units without human rights [just like the roman emperors from whom the Papacy is descended]. The absolute power of the pope implies the absolute powerlessness of his flock, sheep to the slaughter, cannon fodder for the ruling class. Least of all do children have any rights. Moses (?): Exodus, Moses - Wikipedia
One of our fundamental rights is a right to the truth. If we are to navigate ourselves successfully in the sea of life we need a reference frame (like the stars) to guide ourselves by. In the most general sense, this reference frame is reality, as revealed to us by science. One of the features of reality we have to deal with is power, and the fundamental of power is numbers: if
[page 190]
you've got the numbers you've got the power. How do you get the numbers? There are two approaches, stick and carrot. The warlord says vote me or I will kill you. The diplomate says join us and you will be rewarded. The Church works both ways in its spiritual realm. Using its 'magisterium' it picks out and kills ideas [like the equality of women] that it does not like. Using its imaginative fiction, it promises its followers an eternity of post mortem bliss [reputed to be better than sex].
As far as I am concerned, none of this is true and the Church committed a crime against my humanity when it indoctrinated me At the root of this crime is the fiction of original sin. The Church pins us down by telling us that we are all sinners and our only hope of salvation is to do what it tells us.
So I am preaching a political and theological religion [religious revival]. The political side is that we are all individuals precisely equal to the Pope or anybody else who would like to set themselves up as a teacher of arbitrary doctrine.
The theological side is that we accept that the Universe is our divine creator. God is not a mysterious outside totally beyond our comprehension. All our experience is revelation of God, so that theology can become a true science, embracing all the other sciences. Then we will know the true God.
The political and scientific sides of this revolution are coupled by statistical mechanics, which explains the importance of numbers. On the whole, things are stable when their entropy is at a maximum. The entropy of a set of events is at a maximum when the events are equiprobable. So, it seems, we can stabilize society by implenting human rights. This is the true foundation of religion. Not the pronouncements of crusty old men whe are
[page 191]
afraid of women.
The market continues to go down but my hopes are rising.
If I have been chosen by a woman, what can I do? Go with the flow? resist like St Thomas? It is a measure of my metanoia from Catholic to Natural that I now want to flow.
There can be no inconsistency at a point. Different things (eg p and not-p) must be in different places. So it seems that point = theorem = executable turing machine.
The Pope can now be defeated through the admission of science.
The Papacy is the embodiment of human arrogance. We are convinced that we are so much smarter than the Universe that created us.
Time to read Laudato Si' Pope Francis: Laudato Si;
1. Sister, mother, Earth Canticle of the Sun - Wikipedia
2. 'The violence present in our hearts wounded by sin . . .' Paul III - Council of Trent
3. Evangelii Gaudium Pope Francis
8. Patriarch Bartholomew. H A H Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew
13. 'The Creator does not abandon us; he never forsakes his loving plan or repents of having created us.' How do you know?
14. 'blind confidence in technical solutions.' The right technical
[page 191]
solutions are essential and all the huffing and puffing in the Encyclical must be understood as motivating their design and implementation.
15. 'principles from the Judaeo-Christian tradition which can render our commitment to the environment more coherent.'
19. Christianity and pain: 'our goal is not to amass information or to satisfy curiosity, but rather to become painfully aware, to dare to turn what is happening to the world into our personal suffering and thus discover what each of us can do about it.'
23. Climate is a common good.
24. Vicious cycle.

59. 'This is the way human beings contrive to to feed their self-destructive vices; trying not to see them, trying not to acknowledge them, delaying the important decisions and pretending nothing will happen.' Just like the Church really, a political burden on the world.

[to DB 79 Galileo Wins, page 4.]
60. Viable future scenarios.
61. Honest debate among experts
62. '. . . science and religion with their distinctive approaches to understanding reality, can enter into intense dialogue, fruitful for both. Really? Both should be evidence based because they control action.
66. Genesis. 66. Sin. 68. 'responsibility for God's earth'
71 Salvation 76 ' "creation" has a broader meaning than "nature" for it has to do with God's loving plan in which every creature has its own value and significance.
77. 'creation of of the order of love'
78. 'Judaeo-Christian thought . . . no longer saw nature as divine.' 'the modern myth of unlimited material progress'
79. 'God's transcendence'; 80. 'God can bring good out of the evil we have done.'
81. 'Human beings . . . possess a uniqueness which cannot be fully explained by the evolution of open systems.'
82. 'might is right'
83. 'The ultimate destiny of the universe is the fullness of God, which has already been attained by the risen Christ . . . '
[page 5]
87. Laudato Si'
The transfinite network creates a [logical] continuum between simplicity and complexity which shows us the way from physics to God.
God reflected in all that exists vs God is everything that exists.
90. 'Nor does it imply a divinization of the earth which would prevent us from working it ad protecting it in its fragility. (?)
93. '. . . earth is essentially a shared inheritance whose fruits are meant to benefit everyone.' The God Father says this, but it is a human construct, a fiction which is a corollary of the Declaration of Human Rights, which is justified by its contribution to peace and stability. United Nations: Universal Declaration of Human Rights
95. 'The natural environment is . . . the patrimony of all humanity and the responsbility of everyone.' Wilderness?
96. God is Father, a fundamental truth ?
97. Jesus looked at flowers. 98 'Jesus lived in full harmony with creation.' This is a guess.
99. In the Christian understanding of the world, the destiny of creation is bound up with the mystery of Christ . . . ' What can this possibly mean?
104. Hits Nazism and Communism but avoids murderous exploits of capitalists.
106. 'Human being and material objects no longer extend a friendly hand to one another. The relationship has become confrontational. ?
[page 6]
Looks to me as though we are forever learning more subtle and cooperative ways to use nature.
107. '. . . many problems of today's world stem from the tendency . . . to make the methods and aims of science and technology an epistemological paradigm . . . ' And many more problems from ignoring reality.
109. pretty simplistic analysis. 110. Fragmentation of knowledge.
111. 'We need . . . a lifestyle and a spirituality which together generate resistance to the assault of the technocratic paradigm.' Perhaps he means corporate paradigm.
114. 'unrestrained delusions of grandeur', like the Catholic Church.
115. anthropocentrism 116 modernity
118. Paper tigers everywhere.
120 abortion
121. He believes this: 'We need to develop a new synthesis capable of overcoming the false arguments of recent centuries. Christianity in fidelity to its own identity and the reich deposit of truth it has received from jesus Christ [a few hundred pages] continues to reflect on these issues in fruitful dialogue with changing historical situations. In doing so, it reveals its eternal newness.'
122. misguided anthropocentrism. 123. culture of relativism.
[page 7]
Everything is relative because we are inside God. Relationships perform the same task of differentiation in the world as they do in the Trinity.
124. Fails to mention that [in Genesis] work was the punishment for disobedience. The Book of Genesis: The Fall
126. Monasticism: flight from the world. <./p>
128. 'We were created with a vocation to work.' That's not what Genesis says.
129. Business is a noble vocation . . . 130 biological technology
133. Genetic modification 137 integral ecology.
138. 'Everything is interconnected' also everything is individual.
147. 'Authentic development.'
150. Relationships between living space and human behaviour.
151. Commons 152 Housing 153 Transport
155. 'moral law, which is inscribed in our nature'. 'the acceptance of our bodies as God's gift' ?
159. Justice between generations.
162. 'ethical and cultural decline'
165. Fossil fuels. 171 Carbon credits.
183. Environmental impact assessment.
[page 8]
188. '. . . the Church does not presume to settle scientific questions or replace politics.'
189. Politics and Economics.
199. Religions in dialogue with science: 'It cannot be maintained that empirical science provides a complete explanation of the interplay of creatures and the whole of reality.'
202. Ecological education and spirituality.
204. 'The emptier a person's heart is, the more he or she needs things to buy, own and consume. ?
209. Environmental education. Doesn't the 'utilitarian mindset' include cooperation.
'Ecological conversion'. 222. Less is more. 227. Grace at meals.
228. 'Fraternal love can only be gratuitous; it can never be a means for repaying others for what they have done or will do for us.' The puppet Christian world has only kinematics, no dynamics, no forces acting between people, only between people and the God Father.
233. The universe unfolds [evolves] in God, who fills it completely.' OK, and it represents [God] completely.
235. 'The Sacraments are a privileged way in which nature is taken up by God to become a means of mediating supernatural life.' ?
238. The Trinity and the relationship between creatures.
240. Trinity and relationship. He is getting close. 241. Mary, Queen
[page 9]
of all creation. Imperialist!
243. New Jerusalem and all that rubbish.
Procrustes strikes again, squishing the divine world into the tiny vision of the RCC.
[DB 28 Catholicism 2.0, page 192]
Evangelii Gaudium
60. 'Today's economic mechanisms promote inordinate consumption' ' "education" that would tranquillize them.' The Church's traditional role.
61. evangelization = promoting radically false story. '. . . the crisis of ideologies which has come about as a reaction to anything which might appear totalitarian,' Like the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church,
62. Tradition is suffering. 'What is real gives way to appearances', and we don't want that or the traditional theology is doomed.
63. Catholic Faith challenged.
64. Secularization completely rejects the transcendent? Like the Declaration of Human Rights. 'In response we need to provide an education which teaches critical thinking and encourages the development of true moral values.' Francis is undermining the Church's raison d'etre.
[page 193]
67. Individualism. here assumed to be contrary to socialism, but, properly organized, they are complementary,
Inculturating the faith: resident evil.
69. 'It is imperative to evangelize cultures in order to inculturate the Gospel.' Arrogant. 'Each culture and social group needs purification and growth.
70. 'It is undeniable that many people feel disillusioned and no longer identify with the Catholic tradition.' True, but you miss the main reason. It is imperialist propaganda.
71. The new Jerusalem (??)
73. We must plan to turn back the tide of modernity.
74. 'What is called for is an evangelization capable of shedding light on these new ways of relating to God, to others and to the world around us, and inspiring essential values.' Ie do away with the false God.
78. Missionary spirituality, ie spin, salespersonship, lies. We will have no relativism but imperial absolutism.
How do we relate social organization to gravitation, the fundamental structuring agent in the whole Universe and therefore active at every level of complexity?
81. The slaves are not working hard enough, they want free time.
84. The Gospel delusion cures pessimism.
[page 194]
86. Christians being oppressed. Perhaps because many people do not appreciate their pernicious evangelization.
88. 'The Christian ideal will always be a summons to overcome suspicion, habitual mistrust, fear of losing our privacy, all the defensive activities which today's world imposes upon us.' And this from the biggest scammers of them all.
92. 'mystical fraternity' '. . . opening the heart to divine love and seeking the happiness of others just as their heavenly Father does.' Naive. Heavenly Father also casues wars, famines, earthquakes etc. Not to be fully trusted.
93. Spiritual worldliness . . . consists in seeking not the Lord's glory but human glory and personal well-being.' So sacrifice yourself to my corporate machine.
94. 'Worldliness' all these old words from my childhood, rejected in my slogan the world is divine (and God is a trickster, among all else).
95. 'insidious worldliness' ' "taking over the place of the Church" '
98. war, division, individuality. We imagine that most wars are caused by dictators like the pope who (by definition) must suppress freedom and individuality [for everyone but themselves].
102. clericalism
104. Women priests . . . 'not a question open to discussion.'
107. dearth of vocations . . . 'lack of contagious apostolic fervour'.
[page 195]
109. 'Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of our missionary vigour'. The political role of the Church.
110. Francis is hooked on evangelization [gaudium evangelii: gaudium = joy, happiness, delight, enjoyment, gladness, glee; evangelium = good news, Greek ευ = good, αγγελιον = message, news. John Paul II: 'if the Church "is to fulfill its providential destiny, evangelization, as the joyful patient and progressive teaching on the saving death and resurrection of Jesus Christ must be you absolute priority" . ' [but what if the news is false?]
112. 'salvation' 'No human efforts, no matter how good they may be, can enable us to merit so great a gift.' For which we take the credit and expect you to grovel appropriately.
117. 'When properly understood cultural diversity is not a threat the Church unity' [if the Church is broad enough, universal in the general relativistic sense]
119. All missionaries - we want the numbers.
122. More evangelization [a properly inculturated community 'continuously evangelizes itself'.]
124. Holy Spirit is always pouring forth riches (ie delusions)
125. Good Shepherd: exploits, kills and eats the sheep.
127. 'the Church seeks to experience a profound missionary revival' to hide its sins.
127. the sales pitch
130. charisms. Charism - Wikipedia
132. exploiting science as a tool of evangelization.
[page 196]
133. 'A theology . . . which is a dialogue with the other sciences and human experiences is most important for our discernment of how best to bring the Gospel message to different cultural contexts and groups. . . . Church and theology exist to evangelize.' [the political perversion of theology]
135. Homilies and the liturgy . . . 138. Homily not entertainment
139. '. . . the people of God, by the constant inner working of the Holy Spirit, is constantly evangelizing itself.' But does the Holy Spirit agree with the Roman Catholic Church? I think not. He would make women equal for sure. The motherhood line.
142. Demagoguery: Words that set hearts on fire.
143. 'The challenge of an inculturated preaching consists in proclaiming a synthesis, not ideas or detached values.' Yes but one cannot base a synthesis on a fundamental error.
'Reverence for the truth' Whose truth? The Papal individualist?
160. 'It is no longer I but Christ who lives in me (Gal 2:20) I am a zombie. Paul, Zombie - Wikipedia
163. 'kerygmatic and mystagogical (?) Kerygma - Wikipedia, Mystagogue - Wikipedia
171. 'docility to the spirit' whose spirit?
Mysteries Sacred mysteries - Wikipedia
[to DB 79 Galileo Wins]
[page 1]
[Francis, Evangelii gaudium (cont)]
172. Compassion.
173. 'Genuine spiritual accompaniment always begins and flourishes in the context of service to the mission of evangelization.' Rubbish; human spirit existed long before the Catholic Church came along and claimed it for its own, so perverting it.
174. 'the word of God': what does God say?
176. To evangelize is to make the kingdom of [the inhuman Catholic] God present in our world.
178. The anthropomorphism of society in the 'Father' the symbol of control.
179. So much ecclesiastical jargon without any mention of fair trade, only enslavement to the church.
182. The political claim: 'It is no longer possible to claim that religion should be restricted to the private sphere and that it
[page 2]
exists only to prepare souls for heaven. We know that God wants his children to be happy in this world too, even though they are called to filfillment in eternity, for he has created all things "for our enjoyment". ' Sovereign arrogance.
184. Does not mention human rights as the key to human affairs.
86. Help the poor. How? Grace? Social security would be better,
191. Hear the cry of the poor, and then destroy the systems that are making them poor.
193. Gospel panacea: wishful thinking of dyning power.
195. 'today a new self-centred paganism is growing.' Paganism - Wikipedia
' 197. 'God's heart has a special place for the poor.'
198. 'I want a church which is poor and for the poor.' What does this mean? No heating, no health care, bare survival.
199 'True love . . . '
202. Structures of inequality. Power to the powerful.
204. 'We can no longer trust in the unseen forces and invisible hand of the market.' [a bad Spirit?]
205. Asking God for good politicians. A dreamer, himself pushing bullshit.
209. 'Jesus, the evangelizer par excellence and the Gospel in person . . . '
[page 3]
210. Migration. Does the Church do anything practical about all these problems or just talk and support the antisocial right wing of politics?
217. peace. 222. Time and Space. 225. Evangelization. 226. Conflict
231. 'Realities are important than ideas.' This implies the death of the fictional God and the birth of the real God.
233. 'Realities are greater than ideas. This principle has to do with the incarnation of the word . . .'
Globalization and localization. Monarchy does not localize power for fear of weakening itself,
237. More Gospel dreams. Assert enough and it can be true for you.
242. Dialogue between faith, reason and science. 'Evangelization is attentive to scientific advances and wishes to shed on them the light of faith and the natural law so that they will retain respectful of the supreme value of the human person at every stage of life.' Arrogance. They think they have access to a higher truth: '. . . faith itself, which elevates us to the mystery transcending nature and human intelligence.' We're not prejudiced, We just know. 243. Faith trumps science (we believe) or not.
244. Ecumenism: no hope while Christianity has no explicit foundation in reality.
Got a bit sidetracked there and was wondering why there was so much about evangelization and all sorts of other issues. Now back to Laudato Si [See above]
Thursday 2 July 2015
What is gravitation in zero dimensions? In one dimension it is quantum mechanics? ie energy flow, ie local changes in rate of action.All physical equations are (or represent) counts of quanta of action represented by different measurements on each side of the equation.
How does the world complexify, ie how does God get more fixed points? Momentum, action and energy are conserved (and may each total to zero, similar to the initial singularity and the classical God). What changes are the arrangements (network couplings) of quanta of action, eg the orbitals of an atomic electron. [different arrangements are associated with different energies]
So gravitation describes a pure flow of energy with no reference to the actual energetic structures.
Energy delocalized in quantum mechanics and gravitation.
Keep battering away, dumb but persistent.
Flow of action = 4-momentum, but could be 1, 2, 3-momentum 1-momentum = energy, the time frequency spectrum. 2, 3, 4 involve space, ie memory, which couples different timed, making wormholes (loops) in the string of ticks. Get the counting right.
[page 9]
Conserved flow = closed flow. A quantum of action is a full circuit, ψ = 2π
Laudato Si'; Depressing to see how the Church is embedded in the idea of salvation by God. The whole encyclical is more of an ad hominem exhortation rather than a realistic exposition of the state of the word. It is all based on the proposition that faith (fixed imagination) is privy to truths that science does not see, and that the Church is the custodian of these truths, the transcendent and the supernatural. Both these ideas are naturally embraced by science using transfinite models.
My only problem really is that there are too many things I want to do but my energy seems to have peaked.
Einstein Relativity page 120: 'We refer the four-dimensional space time continuum in an arbitrary manner to Gauss coordinates. We assign every point of the continuum (event) four numbers, x1, x2, x3, x4 (co-ordinates) which have not the least direct physical significance, but only serve the purpose of numbering the points of the continuum in a definite but arbitrary manner.'
What we have done is given ourselves some number to calculate with and because we are dealing with a continuum these numbers give a meaningful description of something meaningless.
page 121: '. . . in reality such encounters constitute the only actual evidence of a space-time nature with which we meet in physical statements.'
[page 11]
Gaussian coordinates obviate the need for a reference frame.
Einstein page 123: 'All Gaussian coordinate systems are essentially equivalent for the formulation of the general laws of nature.' A network is Gaussian [self addressing].
124: 'Every transformation corresponds to the transition of one Gauss coordinate system into another.'
125: 'The fictitious rigid body of reference is of no avail in the general theory of relativity.'
Ie my reference frame is the things I touch (here in my kitchen), ie the events I communicate with (including you, who, in my imagination shape these words I am writing).
If this reference frame is self consistent, I can compute my position accurately; if it is inconsistent I am lost, eg when the Church tells me I am defective and everything else tells me I am not I have had to ditch the false points in my communication network, ie cease to believe the scammers (confidence tricksters) such the Church [and many politicians]. The error of the Church is assiduously maintained by the Church [itself] since it is the foundation of its self esteem.
The private novel: an exchange of letters.
The History of Salvation is a great story. It is a synthesis of the work of tens of thousands of thinkers, writers and practitioners, but it remains nevertheless a work of fiction Unfortunately fictions have as strong or stronger grip on our imaginations [than reality], and so we are easily led away by dreams. The antidote to dreaming is [waking up,] science, checking our dreams against reality. And reality and the history[page 12]
of salvation do not agree.

Every now and then my emotions catch up with my mind and I feel that I am on the right track, but this could just be a self-fulfilling prophecy not necessarily consistent with reality.
From New Testament kerygmata to natural theology.
Developing the product a) by contrast with the Roman Catholic Church, b) independently.
The final result of my project I would like to be a viable theology.

Friday 3 July 2015
Networks are self referencing, and so do not need an external coordinate system. [space is only relevant to a network as a time delay]
Looking for the heart of gravitation, continuity, ie nothing, the fundamental description of the initial singularity, pure act. Gravitation describes the dynamics of the empty set [considered as a continuous manifold] ? Gravity does not define the four dimensions of space which emerge on top of the gravity layer, on top of eachother. Once we got as far as 4D spacetime, structural evolution then turned to the development of the particles that move in spacetime and in some sense use the spacetime structure as the physical layer of an
[page 13]
exponentially growing and complexifying network of subnets, ie the next three forces, etc. So much of this seems so close, but I cannot get a grip on it. Gravity - universal continuity - universal consistency [since there are no differentiated symbols to be inconsistent]. This is the foundation of Einstein's conviction that the general theory is mathematically complete and perfect.We study relativity with light as our means of communication over distance. It is unique and primitive. Is it the cause or the consequence of Maxwell's equations? Why are there many photons? No light without electrically charged particles.
Penrose, Einstein page xii: 'Physically realizable curves in space-time are timelike and hence, as reflected in more modern accounts, the metric is really applying a measure of time to the curve, rather than length. In the excellent expositions of relativity by such relativity experts as John Laughton Synge and Hermann Bondi, it has been emphasized that space-time geometry is really chronometry rather than geometry in the ordinary sense, so that it is clocks that express the metric better than the little rulers that Einstein used in his descriptions.'
What if we believe that the Universe is pixellated in units of action, the first pixel being the classical God. Then we wonder about the multiplication of pixels into a network. Action = ML2T-1, velocity LT-1, so velocity = action /ML. Somehow we might think of c as pixels per time, which probably makes no sense. Must think more in network terms, where time and energy (actions per second, ie bandwidth) are of most interest, as per Penrose.
Pais Subtle page 138: 'Special relativity represents the abandonment of mechanical pictures as an aid to the interpretation of electromagnetism.' Because there is no structure there, it is a symmetry, a continuum and a transformation. Once again we see

the tracks of the via negativa that outlines the boundaries og God, those points beyond which inconsistency sets in. Pais: Subtle is the Lord . . .
Denial: I prefer my dreams to your awakenings.
Pais page 139: Einstein: 'My solution . . . is that time is not absolutely defined but there is an inseparable connection between time and signal velocity.'
'People looking at nature' contains the key to the nature of nature, communication and differentiation. Communication both correlates and differentiates. When we refuse to communicate with people and cut them out of society they lose the differentiation, ie their self-esteem or autonomy and begin attention getting behaviour.
Pais, page 141: 'there are as many times as there are inertial frames. That is the gist of the June paper's kinematic sections . . . '
149: Pauli; 'the law of the inertia of energy'
Pais 178: Inertial motion is equivalent to rest.

I, while I live, am a somewhat invariant mapping (like the Lorentz transformation) between two sets of coordinates, my inputs and my outputs.

Timelike metric is a measure of the computational distance between states, ie how many operations does it take to transform 2 x 2 into 4. In God and the initial singularity, there is only one

state and so no distance.
Getting the Catholic Church to renounce the fundamental errors in its founding myths looks like a hopeless task, but it must be done, and my idea is basically to develop the alternative and when it reaches a certain integrity promulgate it as a beta version of a human social operating system which has been developed by analogy to the universal operating system, whose definition is a cosmic kerygma.
Mt life is one act measured by one quantum of action executed over something like one hundred years, so that the energy associated with this quantum is very small. On the other hand my life is a macroscopic act, comprising some 1050 Planck sized acts. At the most abstract level (ie direct participation in the divine simplicity) all acts are identical and merge seamlessly. The stationary points in the divinity do not break the unified continuity of the mystical God.
Up against gravitation, but think of it as the boundary of the Universe beyond which contradiction lies and Misner's boundary of a boundary is zero. Ie structurelessness outside the logical Universe in a way constraints the logical universe. This sentence is a bit like saying p is not not p, the formal expression of a two state 'flow' from p to not-p and back again [by a different route?]. It is isomorphic to the card on [both sides of] which we read p = 'the sentence on the other side of this card is false' ie non-existent. As we read it we turn it over and over. Misner, Thorne & Wheeler: Gravitation
Pais page 206: 'By the spring of 1912 Einstein knew of the red shift and the deflection of light. He had realized that the Lorentz transformations are not generally applicable, that a larger invariance group was needed. This is the group of all the mappings of the natural numbers onto themselves, the group that defines the transitions between the layers of the transfinite network.
[page 16]
'He realizes that gravitational field energy is to be included as a source and that the gravitational field equations were therefore bound to be non-linear (like the interactions of strings in a computer).
Wouldn't I just like to be as smart as Einstein. But it would have showed long ago. I plod.
Pais page 211: 'the simple [physical interpretation of space-time coordinates will have to be forfeited, and is cannot yet be grasped what form the generally space-time transformation equations could have.' Must be continuous and computable. [continuous = can, given time, be computed to unlimited precision]
211: 'We must search for words before we can express thoughts . . . I suddenly realized that Gauss's theory of surfaces holds the key for invoking this mystery.'
212: The only constraint of gravitation is that the line interval ds2 = gμνdxμdxν is invariant.
213: '. . . Euclidean geometry must be abandoned if noninertial frames are to be admitted on an equal footing.

228: 'the fundamental role of the metric tensor as the carrier of gravitation became clearer.
242: Planck: 'natural laws always imply certain restrictions on infinitely many possibilities, eg codecs must be computable.
243: Einstein: 'According to our theory, there do not exist independent qualities of space.
[page 17]
Pais page 252: 'One may choose a coordinate system at one's convenience simply because coordinate systems have no objective meaning', ie there are no real coordinates.
All that we can say about the Universe is that it is concrete, abstract coordinates do not exist. The only coordinates in my life are entities that I am communicating with or remember communications with.
There are no coordinates but there are distances, that is processes. A good metric of the Universe is processing time, ie proper time, to execute the journey from A to B through a lot of small steps. When travelling through a continuum all the steps can be identical. One may need special steps for dealing with discontinuities.

As a tradesperson I am careful not to take on jobs that ate beyond my ability, but I have done so in the theological space because it seems to me to be in such bad shape that even an incompetent operator my be able to help things along. The Church, hooked on eternity, is its own worst enemy: denial of time. The false analogy of the mountain. Everything cannot exist all at once because the world is locally finite so we need change to give all the possibilities moments of reality.
Electrons and photons are generic but they can be specifed by the eddresses of their creation and annihilation.
