Using this blog, you can predict the future at any desired level of detail.
This blog is, for example, about the upcoming transition from the Kali Yuga to the Golden Age in multiple dimensions.

Global Brain
Notably, I had already concluded before the year 2000, using the EconomicKondratieff Cycle (P=50) and the Cultural Mikhail Bakhtin Cycle (P=1250), that a different period (“Global Brain“) was approaching and that the climate crisis corresponds to the disasters associated with the transition.
Waterman to Air.
The period was also predicted in the Precession Cycle known as Aquarius, which is an Air sign.
It will later turn out that this prediction is incorrect or needs to be interpreted differently.
1. The Four+1 Elements:
There are namely 5 elements and 24 (2x12) and 25 (5×5) lie close together.
Furthermore, the system is harmonious. To learn more, click here.
The 4+1 Elements Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Space (Ether) are as old as human civilization.
Elements->Seasons
The elements also correspond to the seasons with Fire = Summer and the opposite Water = Winter, while Spring and Autumn are intermediary stages with the Sun as the center.
The Elements were also used to categorize the 5 ages of civilization and the corresponding Disasters.

This blog is about the End of the Kali Yuga and thus also about the beginning of a new Golden Age.
The transition is a time of great turmoil comparable to a birth.
It is striking that the announcement of such a transition has occurred in almost all cultures.

Explain Cyclemodel
Cyclegenerator
I discovered that all cycles in terms of arrangement resemble each other and only differ in frequency, with the frequencies having an equal ratio in their periodicity (P), namely 5x, whereby for example, the P of the Kondratieff cycle is 50 years, which people associated with the /Maya’s linked that same P to the cycle of the Pleiades.
Each cycle is a (sine) wave, which serves as the basis for a new wave, and so on. This creates harmonic effects similar to overtones and undertones in music, causing waves to either reinforce or dampen each other. As a result, with an increasing long wave, everything rises.
1+**√**5/2= =φ, the Golden Ratio
The number 5 plays an important role in natural patterns and harmonics due to its connection with biological symmetry, the golden ratio, and stability in harmonic structures.
Ray Tomes used the data from the Cycles Research Institute, founded by Edward Russel Dewey in the US in 1931, to demonstrate which harmonic functions were present in the data.
They were simply explained using the divisors of the prime numbers, where the number 5 plays an important role that can again be found in the Chinese Lo Shu.
This blog is a continuation of my blog about Constructal Law and the Creation in which I revisited the work of Andis Kaulins.
Great Year
He proved to me that ancient history has an Astrological background with the Precessional Cycle (P= 2577), the Great Year) as its foundation.
This means that each phase 5144 lasts, which, starting from the Yuga at -3,117, results in 2027 as the transition date.
Moon Cycle x Sun Cycle
In contrast to the Greek system, which associated the 12-month annual cycle with the solar cycle, resulting in a phase lasting 2160 years.
Strategy -> Predicting the Future
Because strategy was my profession, I was very skilled at predicting the future.
It became clear that the Kondratieff cycle provides a lot of insight, especially when I linked it to the four (actually five) worldviews of Paths of Change (PoC) by Will McWhinney.
Cross (Heart).
The four elements correspond to the four worldviews of PoC, with one worldview missing. It lies at the intersection of the other four: the Heart.
The heart is the center of two blood cycles, that of the Head (thinking) and the body (acting).
This blog is about very large transitions, such as the transition between the 5 ages of the Great Year, during which we are reportedly heading back to the Golden Age, according to some researchers, as early as 2025.
The annoying thing is that such transitions are often accompanied by major disasters like the impact of a large meteorite.
Soon the sun will go into hibernation, which means that a minor ice age is approaching around 2025.
If that’s correct, it will get colder rather than warmer in the Netherlands.
This also happens when the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) comes to a standstill due to the influx of cold meltwater from the North Pole.
3. The Economic Leap
Carlota Perez had come to the same realization that we are approaching a Leap.
In de blog over Constructal Law liet Geoffrey West zien dat die sprong wordt veroorzaakt door het bereiken van een singularity, die weer te maken heeft met de onmogelijkheid om alle tijd te besteden aan het repareren van Fouten in het ontwerp.
The emergence of the Global Brain can be easily traced through the steps taken during the Industrial Revolution, from the Steam Engine via Ford and Taylor’s assembly line to the computer and the Internet network, which allowed for the unlocking of written and visualized content using the talking Wikipedia.
The next step is much more interesting because it is also about the emergence of a new religion that is not socially (Islam) oriented but is focused on the whole, on consciousness.
Consciousness has always been connected with the Holy Spirit.
The next step in the Precession has long been announced and is associated with the Aquarius.
The Waterman is an Air sign.
The Waterman is the first step of 12 steps where the cycle follows the Zodiac, noting that the old cycle consisted of well-visible stars used for navigation at sea.
The arrival of this phase aligns with all the old calendars, with the Maya Calendar as an example, which Andis Kaulin discovered all began on the same day.
Op die dag, s’ochtends 25 december 3117 v.Chr, vond er een heel bijzondere zonsverduistering plaats.
Over de Precessie Cyclus
6. Wat is de Kali Yuga (de Aardse fase)
The Kali Yuga is regarded in Indian philosophy and Hindu cosmology as an age of darkness, wherein ignorance and materialism prevail.
The spiritual and moral values of society are declining sharply, and people are becoming increasingly detached from their inner and spiritual essence.
It is seen as an era in which negative traits such as greed, lies, and violence prevail.
Then comes the Satya Yuga (Golden Age): a time of purity, harmony, and spiritual awareness.
Model Bibhu Dev Misra
He predicts the end of the Kali Yuga in March 2025, which he believes could cause a global collapse by 2040 due to wars, environmental catastrophes, and comet impacts, thereby fulfilling ancient prophecies about the renewal of the earth. He also explains the scientific validation of the alignment of the Yuga cycle with Earth’s precession cycle and its implications for understanding the cyclical nature of civilizations, the fluctuation of human consciousness, and the predicted return of a savior at the end of the cycle.
In deze interpretatie van Bibhu Dev Misra is er sprake van een opgaande en neergaande cyclus die bestaat uit 2×5=10 stappen
de Purana’s
The Puranas describe the four Yugas as cyclical epochs in the cosmos:
Satya Yuga (1,728,000 years): The age of truth and virtue, in which people live ethically perfect lives.
Treta Yuga (1,296,000 years): Virtue declines, but people remain religious and just. Rama appears.
Dvapara Yuga (864,000 years): Moral values further weaken, but religion remains important. Krishna appears.
Kali Yuga (432,000 years): The age of moral decline, where virtue reaches its lowest point and materialism and conflict dominate.
Model Rudolf Steiner/Owen Barfield:
This model is derived from the theosophical models of the founder of the Theosophical movement, Helena Blavatsky.

The world of technology is dynamic and constantly evolving, driven by powerful cycles of change.
Through the lens of the Precession cycle and the Kondratieff cycles, we can understand the technological development of human civilization over thousands of years.
In this chapter, we take you through the five phases of the Precession Cycle and the last five phases of the Kondratieff Cycle, illustrating how technology has evolved over time and where we currently stand.
The Precession Cycle: A 25,800 Year Overview
The Precession cycle, which spans over 25,800 years, can be divided into five major phases. Each phase reflects a different period of technological advancement and social change.
Phase 1: 0 – 5,160 years – The Origin of Civilization
In this early phase of the Precession Cycle, around 3000 BC to 2000 AD, the foundations of human civilization were established. The invention of agriculture and writing were the first technological breakthroughs. Large monuments such as Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt reflect the initial phase of astronomical knowledge.
Characteristic Technologies:
Agricultural Tools
The Wheel
The Construction of Astronomical Observatories
Phase 2: 5,160 – 10,320 Years – The Establishment of Great Civilizations
Between 3000 BC and 1000 AD, human civilization continued to expand, marked by the rise of large-scale cities and complex religious systems. This period saw the development of metalworking and rice cultivation techniques.
Characteristic technologies:
Watermill
Early astronomical calendars
The invention of the writing technique
Phase 3: 10,320 – 15,480 Years – Scientific Revolution
During the period from 1,000 BC to 500 AD, the world experienced a leap in scientific and philosophical progress. Scientists such as Aristotle and Ptolemy laid the foundations for astronomy, while the emergence of steel production improved the technology and arsenal of civilizations.
Characteristic technologies:
Astronomical observations
Steelworking and new tools
Manufacturing of sailing ships for global trade
Phase 4: 15,480 – 20,640 Years – The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution from 500 to 1900 AD brought fundamental changes, from the steam engine to electricity. This period transformed the production process, transportation infrastructure, and daily life.
Characteristic technologies:
Steam engines and factories
Electricity: The invention of the light bulb
Telecommunication via the telephone
Phase 5: 20,640 – 25,800 Years – The Digital and Space Revolution
In the current era, from the 20th century to now, we see the exponential growth of digital technologies, space exploration, and artificial intelligence. We are on the verge of entering a new age of interplanetary travel and sustainable energy sources.
Characteristic technologies:
Space exploration and moon landing
Artificial intelligence
Solar energy and renewable energy sources
The Last 5 Phases of the Kondratieff Cycle
The Kondratieff cycle provides insight into the rise, flourishing, and decline of major technological innovations that drive the world economies. Each phase of the cycle lasts about 50 years and represents a period of technological change that impacts society.
Fase 1: Kondratieff V (1800 – 1850)
The industrial revolution began to bear fruit with the arrival of the steam engine, which laid the foundation for mechanization in factories and transportation.
Technology:
Steam Engine
Railways
Textile Production
Fase 2: Kondratieff VI (1850 – 1900)
The rise of electricity, the telephone, and the light bulb marked this period as one of the most groundbreaking in the history of technology.
Technology:
Electricity
Telephone
Steel Industry
Fase 3: Kondratieff VII (1900 – 1950)
The 20th century brought the world automobiles, aviation, and mass communication through radio and television.
Technology:
Automotive
Aerospace
Radio and Television
Fase 4: Kondratieff VIII (1950 – 2000)
This phase is characterized by the digital revolution, with the rise of computers, the internet, and space exploration.
Technology:
Computers
Internet
Space Exploration
Fase 5: Kondratieff IX (2000 – 2050)
The current phase revolves around the technological advancements of artificial intelligence, sustainable energy, and the colonization of Mars.
Technology (expected):
Artificial Intelligence
Genetic Modification
Sustainable Energy
Conclusion: Where Do We Stand Now?
We find ourselves at the crossroads of the fifth phase of the Precession Cycle and the kondratieff Cycle.
The technological advancements we’ve experienced in recent decades, particularly in the digital world and space exploration, are paving the way for a new era of cosmic exploration and sustainability.
The coming years are likely to be characterized by the integration of artificial intelligence, the exploration of Mars, and the transition to renewable energy sources. If technology continues to evolve in these fractal cycles, we can envision a future where space travel and intelligent technologies redefine our reality.
Deze blog ging eigenlijk over de Triodosbank totdat ik me weer begon te interesseren voor de het principe van de driegeleding.
Al snel ontdekte ik , dat ik zelfstandig inhoudelijk precies dezelfde kant op was gegroeid.
Tijdens mijn werk bij de ABN raakte ik betrokken bij de oprichting van de Triodos bank en vooral de Antroposofie.
Vandaar dat ik me regelmatig op de hoogte stelde van de Triodos Bank en merkte, dat er geen enkel verband meer was met de oorspronkelijke doelstelling.
Nog sterker Triodos was een ouderwetse Investment bank geworden, die recent in de problemen kwam, omdat de certificathouders hun certificaten niet meer konden verzilveren, waardoor de bank nu overweegt om naar de beurs te gaan.
Wat was de bedoeling? en wat ging er mis?
Rudolf Steiner kreeg gelijk, het Geld moet getemd worden vanwege de macht van Ahriman.
In de antroposofische opvatting wordt geld gezien als een middel om menselijke activiteiten te ondersteunen en sociale verbanden (Associaties) te versterken.
Steiner stelde voor dat geld drie verschillende functies heeft die van elkaar onderscheiden moeten worden:
Die functies komwn overeen mwt de vier universele relatietypen, die de Antropoloog Alan Fiske ontdekte.
Ze passen in de Productie en de Consumptie-cyclus.
Productie- en Consumptie Cyclus
MP: Koopgeld: Dit is het geld dat gebruikt wordt voor directe aankopen van goederen en diensten. Het ondersteunt de uitwisseling van producten en zorgt ervoor dat de basisbehoeften van mensen worden vervuld.
EM:Leengeld: Dit is geld dat wordt gebruikt voor investeringen. Het moet gericht zijn op het ondersteunen van productieve initiatieven en innovatieve projecten die bijdragen aan de samenleving.
CS: Schenkingsgeld: Dit is geld dat wordt gedoneerd zonder directe materiële tegenprestatie. Het ondersteunt culturele, educatieve, en sociale initiatieven en speelt een rol in het bevorderen van gemeenschapsvorming en sociale rechtvaardigheid.
Later ontdekte ik nog een vierde soort Roofgeld (AR), wat overeenkomt met Belasting.
Volgens Steiner moet geld beheerd worden op een manier die deze functies respecteert en in balans houdt.
Hij benadrukte het belang van sociale verantwoordelijkheid bij het gebruik van geld en pleitte voor een economie waarin geldstromen transparant en ethisch verantwoord zijn. Door geld te “temmen” bedoelde Steiner dat het gebruik van geld gericht moest zijn op het bevorderen van menselijk welzijn en sociale harmonie, in plaats van enkel winstmaximalisatie.
Overheid
Ahriman speelt de Duivel in het Perzische geloof
In het zoroastrisme is Ahriman de belichaming van het kwaad, duisternis, chaos en dood. Hij staat tegenover Ahura Mazda, de oppergod die geassocieerd wordt met waarheid, licht, orde en leven.
Ahriman en Ahura Mazda worden niet gezien als scheppers, maar als rivaliserende krachten die vechten om de heerschappij over de wereld. Deze strijd is de kern van de zoroastrische kosmologie en theologie.
1+1=3
Ze vormen samen de twee-heid die de drie-een-heid voortbrengt.
Scriptie
Ik vond een scriptie van Frank Hoek die erg veel informatie bevat over zowel de Triodos bank als het triodos-pricipe., druk hier.
Deel 1: Over de het Tri Odos principe:
Deel 2 gaat over de toepassing van de drie krachten in de maatschappij.
Het principe van de drie krachten, ook bekend als “Tri Odos“, is een concept dat is ontwikkeld door Rudolf Steiner, de grondlegger van de antroposofie.
Rudolf Steiner is sterk beinvloed door Wolfgang Goethe en Helen Blavatsky de schepper van de Theosofie.
Hij is een “kind” van de Romantiek, die weer een reactie was op de Verlichting, die weer een gevolg was van de Franse Revolutie, die weer het gevolg was van de Vrede van Westphalia in 1648 met als gevolg:
Erkenning van religieuze vrijheid: Vorsten kregen het recht om de religie van hun staat te bepalen.
Herschikking van Europa: De politieke kaart van Europa werd gewijzigd, met nieuwe machten die opkwamen en het Heilige Roomse Rijk dat aan macht inboette.
Grondslag voor moderne internationale betrekkingen: De Vrede van Westphalia legde de basis voor het moderne concept van soevereine staten in de internationale betrekkingen.
Rudolf Steiner kwam via Owen Barfield terecht in het midden van een netwerk van spirituele onderzoekers, die er van overtuigd waren, dat 1893 een kantelpunt was.
Dit is het antwoord van GPT op de vraag wat Tri odos betekent:
Deze drie krachten vormen een fundamenteel concept binnen de antroposofische kosmologie en filosofie, en ze worden vaak gebruikt om verschillende aspecten van de menselijke ontwikkeling en de kosmos te verklaren. Hier zijn ze:
Lichtkracht (of scheppende kracht): Dit staat voor de kracht van groei, ontwikkeling en evolutie. Het vertegenwoordigt het proces van verandering, ontwikkeling en transformatie in de natuur en in de mensheid. Deze kracht wordt geassocieerd met het streven naar hogere niveaus van bewustzijn en spiritualiteit.
Warmtekracht (of behoudende kracht): Deze kracht staat voor stabiliteit, behoud en structuur. Het manifesteert zich in de vorm van patronen, vormen en structuren in de natuur en in de samenleving. Het is de kracht die zorgt voor het behoud van identiteit en integriteit, en het wordt geassocieerd met het conserveren en handhaven van de bestaande orde.
Zwaartekracht (of vernietigende kracht): Dit vertegenwoordigt de kracht van afbraak, ontbinding en terugkeer naar de oorsprong. Het is de kracht die deel uitmaakt van het cyclische proces van creatie en destructie in de natuur en in de menselijke ervaring. Deze kracht is nodig voor vernieuwing en hergeboorte, omdat het oude moet worden afgebroken om ruimte te maken voor het nieuwe.
Samen vormen deze drie krachten een dynamisch evenwicht in de kosmos en in de menselijke ervaring.

De Economische Theorie van Rudolf Steiner:
Franse Revolutie
Volgens Peter Blom de ex CIO van de Triodos bank zitten de drie krachten verborgen in de drie slogan’s van de Franse revolutie Vrijheid Gelijkheid en Broederschap.
Dat is niet echt waar want de revolutie vwas de bron van weer vier nieuwe politieke stromingen, Conservatisme, Kapitalisme, Socialisme en Liberalisme.
Scriptie over Triodos:
Rudolf Steiner verdeelt het sociale leven in drie gebieden:
Vrijheid:Geestesleven: Hierin is iedereen vrij om zijn eigen talenten te ontwikkelen. Dit sluit aan bij het ideaal van vrijheid uit de Franse Revolutie.
Gelijkheid: Rechtsleven: Iedereen is gelijk voor de wet en heeft een gelijke stem. Dit sluit aan bij het ideaal van gelijkheid.
Broederschap: Economisch leven: Mensen werken samen om te produceren, distribueren en consumeren. Dit sluit aan bij het ideaal van broederschap.
Deze gebieden zijn met elkaar verbonden, maar moeten wel onafhankelijk zijn. Elk gebied heeft zijn eigen bestuursvorm:
Geestesleven: Bestuur door alle betrokkenen.
Rechtsleven:Democratie.
Economisch leven:Cooperatie, Sociocratie
Problemen in de huidige economie:
In de huidige samenleving zijn de drie gebieden te veel met elkaar verstrengeld. Het economisch leven domineert de andere gebieden. Dit leidt tot problemen zoals:
Uitbuiting van arbeiders: Arbeid wordt gezien als een waar, terwijl het volgens Steiner geen waar is. Dit leidt tot uitbuiting van arbeiders.
Grondspeculatie: Grond wordt gezien als een waar, terwijl het dat volgens Steiner niet is. Dit leidt tot grondspeculatie en hoge prijzen voor huizen en landbouwgrond.
Oplossingen:
Associatie
De vier universele relatietypen van Alan Fiske passen perfect op de associaties van Rudolf Steiner, die ruwweg ook kunnen worden vertaald naar Roven,Ruilen ( EM, Equality Matiching en Associaeren (CS Communual Sharing).waarbij Roven past op de relatie Authority Ranking, Market Pricing (Ekonomie).
Er blijven naast de ~Economie nog vier andere gebieden over namelijk Markt, Cultuur, Kunst,Ondernemen en Politiek, die allemaal deel uitmaken van een Cyclus, die met met- en tegen de klok kan draaien.
Steiner pleit voor een associatieve economie. In deze economie vormen mensen samenwerkingsverbanden om te produceren, distribueren en consumeren. Deze associaties zijn onafhankelijk van de staat en worden bestuurd door mensen met economische kennis.
Binnen de associatieve economie worden waren tegen waren geruild. Arbeid en grond worden niet gezien als waren, maar als productiefactoren. Dit betekent dat arbeiders en grondeigenaren een eerlijk aandeel in de winst moeten krijgen.
Steiner benadrukt dat het belangrijk is om de drie gebieden van het sociale leven te scheiden en onafhankelijk te laten functioneren. Dit is de basis voor een gezonde economie en een rechtvaardige samenleving.
Arjen Nijeboer bespreekt in zijn artikel “De financiële crisis en de driegeleding” de oorzaken van de financiële crisis vanuit Rudolf Steiner’s sociale driegeleding. Volgens Nijeboer zijn de belangrijkste oorzaken:
Gebrek aan schenkgeld voor het geestesleven: Het geestesleven (cultuur, onderwijs, wetenschap) ontvangt geen schenkgeld, waardoor het afhankelijk en minder innovatief is.
Overheidsinterventie buiten haar terrein: De staat neemt te veel taken op zich, zoals volksgezondheid en onderwijs, wat leidt tot inefficiëntie en hoge staatsschulden.
Handel in geld en grond: Geld en grond worden als handelswaar behandeld, wat leidt tot speculatie, inflatie van vastgoedprijzen, sociale ongelijkheid en financiële instabiliteit.
Hij legt uit dat wereldwijde spaaroverschotten banken ertoe brachten risicovolle leningen te verstrekken, wat de subprime hypothekencrisis veroorzaakte. De overheid faciliteerde dit door instellingen zoals Fannie Mae en Freddie Mac.
Nijeboer benadrukt dat stijgende staatsschulden wijzen op een structureel probleem in de economische organisatie. Hij pleit voor een beperking van de staat tot haar kernfuncties en een zelfstandig geestesleven gefinancierd door schenkgeld.
Nijeboer concludeert dat het herstellen van de juiste rolverdeling tussen economie, staat en geestesleven en het beperken van handel in niet-productieve goederen zoals geld en grond, kan helpen toekomstige financiële crises te voorkomen.
Er zijn vier soorten geld, die overeenkomen met de vier universele relatietypen van Alan Fiske:
Koopgeld (Market Pricing – MP, Kapitalisme): Gebruikt voor markttransacties waarbij waarde wordt bepaald door vraag en aanbod.
Leengeld (Equality Matching – EM, Liberalisme): Geld dat wordt geleend en terugbetaald, vaak met rente, om gelijkheid te waarborgen.
Schenkgeld (Communal Sharing – CS, Socialisme ): Geld dat zonder verwachtingen wordt gegeven om het welzijn van de gemeenschap te ondersteunen.
Roofgeld Belastinggeld (Authority Ranking – AR, Conservatisme, Communisme, ): Geld dat door een Overheid wordt verzameld voor publieke diensten en het algemene welzijn.
Tot aan het begin van vorige eeuw heeft het bankwezen zich vooral geconcentreerd op vermogende bedrijven en de vermogende burger (i.h.a. ondernemers)[5]. De banken waren handelsbanken.
Dit type bank wordt nu een Investmentbank genoemd.
Rond 1900 kwamen drie nieuwe bankvormen naar voren die zich gingen richten op de minder draagkrachtige (Giro & Postspaarbank, de Standaardbank), het collectief (Raiffeisen, de Relatiebank) en het verstrekken van consumptief krediet (Pandjesbaas, Bank van Lening, de Consumptiebank). Deze laatste functie wordt nu vrijwel overal uitgeoefend door de Retail (Kopen op afbetaling).
is de fusie van Market Pricing (MP) en Communal Sharing, waarbij de Goede Doelen in de Prijs worden meegenomen terwijl er eigenlijk aan de goede doelen wordt verdiend.Hierdoor is de Markt in één hand.
Een goed voorbeeld zijn de Vriendenloterij en de Postcode Loterij, die hetzelfde commerciele bedrijf zijn..
Samenvatting
Introductie
De Triodos Bank is geïnspireerd door Rudolf Steiner’s ideeën over sociale driegeleding.
De bank streefde naar een balans tussen koopgeld, leengeld en schenkgeld, maar is door de druk van het Cultureel kapitalisme vertaalt in “Duurzaamheid” of simpelweg “Groen” afgeweken van deze idealen.
Driegeleding en de Franse Revolutie
Steiner’s concept van sociale driegeleding wordt gekoppeld aan de idealen van de Franse Revolutie: vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederschap. De historische context van deze idealen en hun invloed op Steiner’s denken worden besproken.
Dit hoofdstuk introduceert Steiner’s drie kosmische krachten: scheppende kracht, behoudende kracht en vernietigende kracht. Deze krachten vormen de basis van een dynamisch evenwicht in de natuur en menselijk handelen.
De Drie Sociale Gebieden
De verdeling van het sociale leven in geestesleven, rechtsleven en economisch leven wordt uitgelegd. Elk gebied heeft zijn eigen bestuursvorm en moet onafhankelijk functioneren voor een gezonde samenleving.
De verstrengeling van de drie sociale gebieden leidt tot problemen zoals uitbuiting en speculatie. Steiner’s oplossingen omvatten een associatieve economie en een duidelijke scheiding van de drie sociale gebieden.
Financiële Crisis
De oorzaken van de financiële crisis worden vanuit Steiner’s perspectief besproken. Gebrek aan schenkgeld en ongepaste overheidsinterventies worden als kernproblemen geïdentificeerd.
De evolutie van het bankwezen wordt gekoppeld aan cultureel kapitalisme, waarbij goede doelen commercieel worden benut.
Conclusie
Door het onderzoek naar de drie krachten en de dramatische ontwikkeling van de Triodos Bank viel alles weer op zijn plaats.
Het kapitalisme inmiddels in zijn derde verschijningsvorm is gefuseerd met het socialisme, het communisme en de Internet Commune waardoor China nu de voorloper is geworden en het Westen ongemerkt volgt door toedoen van de Marketeers rondom van Microsoft aangevuurd door Bill Fates verenigd in OpenAI.
OpenAi copieert alles wat er maar te copieren is en zet het om in software (CO-Pilot).
Ondernemers
De Nederlandse democratie was al gemanipuleerd ten behoeve van Koning Willem I, die ons voorzag van het Pruisische Onderwijs systeem en de Gilden afschafte. Daarnaast richte hij de Nederlandse Handelsmaatschappij op, die nu nog terug te vinden is in de ABN AMRO.
De oude Elite bestaat nog steeds.
Arbeiders-> Middenklasse
In 1909 werd het staatsbedrijf de Postgiro en de Rijkspostspaarbank opgericht de eerste stap om de arbeider een bankrekening en een spaarbank te bezorgen.In 1991 fuseerde de Oostbank met Nationale Nederlanden tot de ING Groep.
De onderklasse bestaat ook nog steeds en stemt op de PVV.
Zij geloven in de sterke Leider, die alles gaat oplossen.
In 1898 werden de Centrale Raiffeisen-Bank en de Centrale Boerenleenbankopgericht die in 1972 fuseerden tot de RABO-bank.In 2016b verdween de cooperatie weer net als zoveel cooperaties.
Die zijn door kapitalistische slimmerikken overgenomen, die de nieuwe elite vormen.
The four Classical Elements: Air, Earth, Fire and Water
Kübler-Ross Transition Curve
The Kubler Ross Model describes the reaction of a person to a Calamity.
In the four stages you see the symbols of the Classical Elements.
They come back in every Cycle on every level from the cycle of the Photon to the cycle of the Universe.
Spring and Elasticity
A Resilient system looks like a Spring connected to a weight.
The spring has a certain Elasticity and will break when it is used too often.
The four Points of View of Paths of Change projected on the Seasons with the fifth seasons, Indian Summer“, in the center.
A Resilient System always returns to its Set Point with a predictable path described by stages that contain the four Points-of-View of Poc called the Kubler Ross Transition Curve.
The curve is really a Cycle described by Path of Change.
The Set Point lies in the Center and represents the Earth going through the Five stages, where the fifth stage is calledIndian Summer.
The Emergence of of the I/D-cycle
Humans are Conscious Self Reproducing Fusing Ecologies that are composed of 1-cellular Organisms and are part of bigger social Ecologies we call a City or a Country.
The one-cellular organisms get their energy out of the Vacuumthat contains clusters of the many specializations of Light (Quarks) made out of Matter and anti-Matter.
Fuse and Specialize
The ecologies take part in the Sequenceof Origins also called the I/D Cycle (Integration, Diversification) that shows the same Pattern of Fusing and Specializing or Compression and Expansion from the Beginning of the Universe.
In Every new step the many Combinations of a previous Infrastructure fuse into a new Infrastructure with a Boundary with a new Name.
The “Fusions” are Social Structures projected on our Outside by the inside Imagination on Reality.
Constraints and Potential
The new system that appears after every step is Constraint driven and is created out of the Potential that is builded up by abundant Resources in the old level.
Mind and Emotions
Constraints (Rules) are from the Mind,
The Action-Potential is from the Emotions.
In the video below Len Troncale explains this proces he calls Emergence meaning “The process of becoming visible after being concealed” or “Discovering something we did not See before”.

This is a picture of Pascal’s Trianglecalled Mount Meru in ancient India or the YangHui in China
.
The Triangle of Pascal described by a Yin Yang Pattern. Later you will see that Yin and Yang come back in Interpersonal Psychology as Agency and Communion.
The Triangle represents the coefficients of the Binominal Expansion (X+Y)**N and therefore every row N (0,1,..)has a sum of 2**N..
the Model of Panarchy contains three nested Cycles with the shape of the Moebius Ring.
Two significant connections are labeled ‘Revolt’ and ‘Remember’. The smaller, faster, nested levels invent, experiment and test, while the larger, slower levels stabilize and conserve accumulated memory of system dynamics
Bio-Field Shapes the Body not the DNA.
In a recent blog I showed how billions of 1-Cellular Organisms work together to support the Human Ecology we call a Body.
They cooperate by sharing their Bioelectric field (Biofield).
Constraint -> E/M-field
Every cell is a neuron and a small Battery that produces its own E/M-field.
The E/M-field generates the Shape of the Organism.
Potential->Zeropoint Field
The energy of the organism comes out of the Zero-point field.
DNA only determinates the Hardware of the cell.
The Cooperative field contains the Software.
The Language of the Universe was recently discovered by Peter Rowlands.
Biochemistry will be succeeded by Biocomputing.
“All known cognitive agents are collective intelligences, because we are all made of parts; biological agents in particular are not just structurally modular, but made of parts that are themselves agents in important ways. There is no Truly Monadic, Indivisible yet Cognitive Being“.
Antifragility:
I start with a long citation of Nassim Taleb about Anti-fragility:
“We have the illusion that the world functions thanks to programmed design, university research, and bureaucratic funding, but there is compelling — very compelling — evidence to show that this is an illusion.
Technology is the result of antifragility, exploited by risk-takers in the form of tinkering and trial and error.
Engineers and tinkerers develop things while history books are written by academics;
we will have to refine historical interpretations of growth, innovation, and many such things.
The error of naive rationalism leads to overestimating the role and necessity of … academic knowledge, in human affairs — and degrading the uncodifiable, more complex, intuitive, or experience-based type”.
The citation of Nassim Taleb is illustrated by Four pictures out of my blog about Anti-fragility.and Structure preserving Mappings.
The four Archetypes of Carl Jung, indentified by their Colors are connected by a Path of Change (PoC) of Will McWhinney where the links are taken out of Interpersonal Theory and Panarchy of Crawford Stanley Buzz Holling, Panarchy describes an Ecology. Poc is linked to the Human Relation Model Alan Fiske, the Scales of Measurement Theory and Geometry.
there are two types of networks being homogeneous (the same) and heterogeneous (different).
The first one has a Bell Curve and the second one a Power Law as a probability distribution.
The first one contains objects that belong to a group that is part of the group that is above the mean while yhe other is below the mean.
The first group feels itself High and the other Low.
Low and different is in the mood to Revolt.
Dutch version of the same image above with many versions of the Dutch term Maat meaning “Appropriate Ratio” but also Friend, Rythm,Balance and Norm.
The four possible reactions of in a Microbial community after a Distaster.
The last possibility, Altered Composition and Different Performance is called Anti-fragility.
Revolt: Leave the Cycle and Jump
The I/D-cycle shows that you sometimes have to Revolt and Leave the Cycle and Jump to a higher level to a cycle with another Rhythm.
This rhythm is the rythm of the Clock (Heart) in the Center.
Panarchy: The Patterns of an Ecology
Behind the picture above you can see the model of Panarchy created by a group of scientist coordinated by Buzz Holling.
Mobius Ring
It also shows a Geometry you have to remember called theMöbius Ring.
Part 1: Theory
Geometry
Triangels are the Building blocks of Geometry
Trinity->Triangel
“The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things.”
To save time and memory (the Human Scale) we compress Action Scenario’s into a single Concept that can be fused with another Concept to compress long Chains of actions into one word that Unwraps if needed.
Physics
The Fusion of Opposites is the Empty Set also called the Void, the Singularity or a Point.
Fusion <-> Splitting
It is not always possible to reverse a fusion of opposites unless the reverse is part of the fusion like it happens with Light and Matter.
In this case matter and anti-matter fuses into light and light splits into matter and anti-matter.
The two processes are symmetric and are related by a constraint that +1 – 1 = 0, a (Nilpotent) constraint that can be found behind every theory in Physics.
The Universe is a Machine
Peter Rowlands was able to Rewrite the fubdamental theory of Physics into a Turing Macine with a zero-constraint.
Each stage or ‘alphabet’ in the rewrite system is a totality, completely incorporating and extending the previous totality.
Octionions, Spirals in 3d Space
His rewrite system is based on the Octionions an extension of the Quaternions, an extension of the Imaginary numers being Spirals in 3D-space.
In the middle between positive and negative is the Zero, the Vacuum, the bridge between the two mirror-universes we live in. One during the Day (Sun) and one During theNight (Moon).
Projection
Observers (Points)
What do the two Fused Projections of two Observers have in Common?
Cross Ratio:
They share a Ratio between A,B,C,D called the Cross Ratio.
Lines
When two distinct points (dots) are connected they form a line.
Sphere
Infinity
Infinity is visible from the Pole
In non-Euclidion Geometry (Projective Geometry) Parallel lines Cross (Meet) at the Horizon.
Horizon
Frame
In Euclidian Geometry everything you see is seen out of a RecktangularFrame.
Curved
A non-euclidian space is Curved.
Projective Geometry started as the Art of Perspective in the Renaissance.
Perspective
Looking Through a Hole
In this picture you can see that Leonardo Davinci is Looking with his Eye through a HoleDrawing a Sphere where theTangent is the horizon.
Every Point of View has Four connections to the other 5 Points of view.
The Pentagle repeats in the Center.
Cube of Space
Quaternio Fourfold of Fourfold
The pictures show a Square divided in Squares where the four diagonals are opposites and the top-down diagonal consist of four Tetrahedra with a point (the cross) in the middle and two circles at the top (Adam, Anthropos ) and the bottom (the wheel of Fortune (Rotundum).
The wheel is Always Turning
The Seal of Solomon
Out of the Duality that is the Point a Process starts that is always a Balanced Cycle (circle) in which the sum of all its Potentials is Zero.

Eudaimonia: Living the Good Life
Carl Jung
Structure Preserving Mapping
The anthropologist Alan Fiske Discovered that his model of Human Relations was compatible with the Scales of Measurement theory.
Scales
Humans Measure their Relations with Scales.
Measurement
The model of Fiske is compatible with Paths of Change that came out of the research of Carl Jung in Alchemy he called a Quaternio.
Will McWhinney called the measurements World Views.
Yin and Yang
The world views can be classified by Agency and Communion that are the same as Yin and Yang.
Structure Preserving Mapping
The mathematician Eric Benoit proved that the Scales are Structure Preserving Mappings.
Hierarchy (Blue)
Autocratic hierarchies are top-down or bottom up but there is always something or somebody (an Agent) at the Top
Social Network )Green)
Social structures like Families are Networks where the Points (Members) are linked by lines.
Individual (Yellow)
Are not connected and not an agent, they are Al-One.
Cause and Effect (Red)
The points that are “acting, Agents) are connected by directed arrows.
Projective Geometry ConnectPoints of View to find the Context.
Find the differences
Fuse the Diffrences
Order them and produce a Ranking
Transform the ranks in States.
When we Fuse Differences we move from Similarity Geometry to Affine Geometry.
In case of the corresponding Scales we move from the Interval scale to the Ordinal Scale or in tems of relationships from Equality Matching to AuthorityRanking.
MP looks like Capitalism
CS looks like Socialism
EM looks like Liberalism
AR looks like Communism
Autority ranking and the Ordinal scale share the Geometry of a Hierarchy where the most important Ranking is at the Top.
Hierarchy One (Idea)->Many:
A hierarchy connects the One to the Many
To make a Ranking you need to define what > or < really means.
>=Expanding and <= is Compressing.
Mirror Universe
When you keep on compressing you reach the singularity and the Planck Scale, a tiny black hole (Point, Bindu) that connect to a tiny white hole that connects with our Mirror universe.
A Theory is a 1-to-1 Mapping or Morphism between NumbersPerceived by the Senses and and other numbers described by Rules (Algorithms) often related to the Mind.
In Paths of Change this Mind<->Senses-Map is called the Analytic Game.
A Structure preserving mapping does not change the rules that are related with the Origin of the mapping (“Reality“).
“When thou hast made the Quadrangle Round,Then is all the Secret found”. George Ripley (d. d 1490).
George Ripley was a famous Alchemist.
In the statement he “gives away” the Secret of Alchemy:
History Repeats Itself:
History Repats itself all the time and the cycle is a Square, the Quaternio.
the Cycle is a Magic Square
The only thing you have to do is fill the Variable in the Beginning and turn the Wheel of Adventure where all the Four Points in the square are Opponents.
When you connect the points in the outside ring in rising order the Cycle of Saturn (Father Time) appears.
They share the same Number (5) in the Center making the square a Magic Square called the Lo Shu you can find on the back of a Turtle meaning the Constellation of of Orion.
This means that the proces of design does not contain an implicit theory of the designer.
This happens often because it is very difficult to become independent from your Personality, your Education or the Social group you are part of.
Objective
The SP-design is “Objective“.
A SPM combines four steps that “Compensate” the influence of the other three.
Carl Jung Archetypes
The same applies to the four Archetypres of Carl Jung,
the four Scales of Measurement
and
Alan Fiske’s Relational Model
Alan Fiske, a cultural anthropologist, discovered four different Social structures that are together a SPM meaning that their combination is independent from the Culture they are part of.
Relation Alan Fiske Scales of Measurement PoC Worldviews
Same Model mapped on Geometry:
Ratio ->Euclidian Geometry
Interval –>Similarity Geometry
Ordinal>Affine Geometry
Nominal -> Projective Geometry
Steps
This part contains the following steps:
1 Select the Context and Analyze the context
2 Select a Path of Change advice: Choose a Quaternion
3 Select a Starting Point you can start with a model (“specification”), a Process, a Social network (including a UID(“Universe of Discourse) or an Idea.
advice Start with an Idea watch out an idea is not an impulse.
It takes many years of search and reflection to find the proof of an idea.
An idea is a concept that belongs to the Point of View of the Imagination (not Fantasy) also related to Spring in the Cycle of the Seasons.
4 If you want to start with this step you have to find and Search for Unique “Objects” in the context.
Objects can be organisms (including Humans) but also Physical objects (“Houses”).
In the example about a model of Sports it took many years to find out what types of games people play and how they play.
This lead to Names and rules (Instructions) how to play the game. Rules/constraints are often used to define a designbut a simple Hiërarchie also works.
5 Fuse the Unique Objects and Count them. With counting you assign Unique names to the objects.
Choose the Number-System you like. Look at theTrinity.
Fusing could be a Physical proces but it is often a Semantic Process including Instruction or making a Plan.
6 Find a criterium that determinates what > or < means and Order the objects. In the example of the games people reinvented a genral game called the Olympic Games and defned medals to order the players.
If you cannot find a criterium you are certainly operating on a abstraction level that is too high.
Change the Scale.
7 Transform the order into Stages or steps and you have created a production proces
8 Evaluate this result and start an Improve-project if necessary formulate this into an new Idea
(1) Red: You can use the Senses (Eyes). In this case you have to define a Point-of-view and a Scale.
The higher you move the less detail you will see.
Naming Repeating Forms we See
(2) Yellow Imagination : In the context you can recognise Repeating forms you can point to and give a Name.
The names represent different Concepts.
Concepts are Nouns.
Verbs are Actions that connect Names
Nouns are verbs that are suddenly stopped.
Universe of Discourse
The set of concepts that represent a context is called a Universe of Discours (UID).
In this blog you hopefully will understand that humans are saying the same thing in many different ways by creating new concepts that are fused with other concepts creating new theories that are so complex that only Experts understand them.
The Higher the Scale the more Looks the Same
(3)BlueModels: A set of Concepts seen from a scale (much) higher than the Point of View is called a Map.
Networks
(4) Green: Houses shield Humans. A set of houses is called a neighbourhood. A Neighbourhood is an example of a Social Network.
Humans show their appreciation with their Emotions. When they are far from their “house” some of them become Homesick.
Center
(5) (White): the Cross of the lines in the middle of the six connections between the Points of View we call the Centre.
Production &- Consumption Cycle
In this picture you can see the actions that connect the Points of View with the point of view of a human in the Center.
A human in the center is described with the Fivefold model of InterPersonal Theory. There are four types of Social Networks (with a center) .
The four networks are connected with-and against the Clock by the Production and the Consumption cycle.
A Community of Practice expands in four different types of Companies.
A community of Interest is a Small World. They contain the people with Wisdom and Vision, Will McWhinney called Mythics.
A community of Affinity is a Family or a Clan. Political Parties are Clans.
A community of Knowledge could be a University when the Knowlegde was obtained by Experiment and Verification.
Example of a Context Map of a Network of companies.
The word Context is derived from the Latin word con-textere which means Weaving (Textere) together (Con).
A Context is Something that Surrounds Something Else, Puts Something on its Place or Relates Something to Something Else that has a stronger Foundation.
Other words that are part of the same Family are Frame of Reference, Setting, Environment, Background, Situation, Ambience, Circumstances, Fabric and Framework.
A context is a SpaceTime ( a Chronotope) with a Boundary. or a Frame being a Square that contains Points of View or a Square that contains Squares.
Standardized Questions
You can a ask standardised questions like Who, Where, When, Why and How to describe the context.or a Map.
The SecondStep is is the Choice between a Cycle (A->A)and or a Line–Interval, A->B.
Resilience: B<-A->B
PoC advises you to choose a quaternion, a Four-fold cycle, for the reason that nothing will change because of the Third Force of the center Resilience that controls Expansion and Contraction.
The interesting point is that almost every way you chose is connected to a specific Theory of Changeso you can also use your favourite approach.
Meta-Practice
That is why Will McWhinney called Paths of Change a Meta-Practise.
There are six possible Lines and many more possible cycles including a 2-step cycle and many ways to Rotate.
Step 3: Where do I Start?
You can start with an Observation, a Model, a Motive, an Idea, a Vision or an Insight.
An idea is not something that pops up.
It is often a result of many Connected Cycles taking a long time.
It took Wolfgang Goethe a long time before he found the Uhrplant and it took a lot longer before his ideas about Morphology became reality.
What is an Idea?
An Idea is a Pulse that comes out of the Action Potential of the Emotions triggered by an Insight or Epiphany (Eureka-effect).
An Idea is a “product of the Imagination, something we See when we look Inside (Insight).
According to Plato an Idea is an Essential part of Reality.
Fuse Ideas into a Perfect Model
Ideas become essential by collecting a lot of look-a-likes and Fuse them into the Perfect model.
A Fuse is difficult to Split
When a fuse produces the energy of the Light of Creation it is difficult to split just like matter and anti-matter.
They can be found by looking and confronting the observations of our Reality not with a Prejudice but with an already acquired Insight (Wisdom).
The Tension between In-Sight and Out-Sight can be found in an Inventor.
Invent:Looking for a Proof
Invent is the result of “Looking for Something” you already know it Exists.
Abstract concepts(Models) are not Ideas.
This can be checked by Imagining the Concept.
Abstract concepts have no image.
An Architect connects Vision and Model by making a Design (designare = draw).
Games
2-combinations of Worldviews are called Games.
Six Archetypes
Games are controlled by an Archetypal Role in our case the Architect but we can also play the game of Inventing starting with Perceiving or the game of the Visionary or the game of the Market of the Entrepreneur.
A 2-combination of worldviews is called a Game.
There are Six games and much more Paths of Change when we combine the games into a Cycle.
A Cycle can move with- and against the Clock.
Rotation Around a Point in the Middle
In the middle of the cross of the square we find the empty set because the worldviews are Opponents.
Plato
The world of Ideas is the World of the Universals
There are two “worlds” that are isolated. In the world of Ideas the Sun of theRatio shines and everything is Perfect. In this world all the particulars have just one Inversal. The universal of all of the ideas is the Good.We live in a Cave and see the shadows of the Ideas being the particulars.
Four States and a Center
In a Fourfold cycle there are four states to start with.
These states can be classified by the four Archetypes of Jung being the Classical Elements air, fire, earth, and water that can be replaced by the Four Seasons with the Earth in the center.
In the picture below you can see a pattern that moves with the seasons and contains four “Games” and two “games” that Bridge (jump over) and two “games” that go against the flow.
Improve uses the Store created in Autumn that has a certain Value.
Make uses the Energy in summer to Expand.
Design moves against the Flow because Winter is an Authoritarian season or start a Revolution
Winter does not accept Opposition so
Accept or Revolt
or take a Shortcut and
Invent or Improve
Thats why you have to use a short-cut and use the path of Inventing or let your Idea value in a Brainstorm and Improve the context.
As you can see it is not difficult to Play with the model because it refers to our Reality.
Wood/Spring (Yellow) : a period of Growth, which generates abundant vitality, movement and wind.
Fire/Summer (Red) : a period of swelling, flowering, expanding with heat.
Metal/Autumn (?Green) : a period of harvesting, collecting and dryness.
Water/Winter (Blue) : a period of retreat, stillness, contracting and coolness.
Spring
Spring is the “Creative” “Artistic” step in the Cycle.
Spring starts a proces of Growth, which generates abundant Vitality,Movement and Wind.
This means that you have wait for the end of the autumn at the fifth season Indian summer and take the shortcut through the cross of the center.
Seeds are eaten or planted in the Winter or Spring, Grow in the Summer and are Harvested and Stored in the Autumn.
Abstraction -> Essence
Abstract means “drag away by force meaning “splitting” and taking something out, making it more Simple, Compress,
To take the bean out of the pod you sometimes have Break the whole to get it out.
If the idea is articulated in words, words are deleted if the idea is a picture connections are deleted, an “abstraction of a line is two points connected.
The ultimate abstraction is a Point and one Word (a State, for instance Darkness or Emptiness).
an Abstract is a summary )shorter, more Essential).
In the Beginning: Movement
The opposite proces of Expanding is complicated when the starting point does not contain a proces or the process was there before the Beginning (“Movement).
Deleting a point or the same word becomes adding a point or the same word.
Most people are not aware that many diffrent words have the same meaning.
Idea->Seed
Blue, Cold, Winter, Red, Hot, Summer, in Between Spring (Yellow), Autumn )Green).
The same Development Cycle but with different concepts.
Producer and Consumer are part of the Production and Consumption Cycle.
They are fed with the Energy of Creation (Idea) hat comes from Spirit.
The idea becomes a Seed in the Production Cycle.
The energy is Stored (Autumn, Green) in the Emotions (Action Potential)
Production and Consumption have to be Voided which means that their Sum is Zero.
A PoC-cycle based on the Business Cycle that uses the Chinese Sheng Cycle where the Cross in the middle (White) is part of the cycle creating a Pentangle in the Middle.
A Pentangle is a Fractal.
A fourfold cycle in which 2 stage of Contracton (Winter) is combined with two stages of Expansion (Summer).
Combining Expansion Compression Showing the four Patterns (Spirals) they produce.
Production/Consumption Cycle as an Expansion of the Human in the center
An ecology contains many layers of cycles.
A Context is also a potential Expanding or Compressing system where the parts are described by a pdifferent Point-of-view.
They can move in four diffrent direction or dependent on the Resilience of the whole that wants to stay the same.
Sep 4: Starting a Cycle
The first and most difficult Question we have to ask is:
What is Different or Unique in the Context we want to Explore?
Watch this video when you want to Learn more about Archetypes
What is a Design?
Step 2: Design: From Spring to Summer
Expanding
The Summer is a period of swelling, flowering, expanding with heat
Fuse the Differences
Find a way to fuse all the differences (ideas, seeds) into a Whole in the Context.
Ranking Hierarchy
Find a way to order the differences in the context.
Order
Define what > (expand) and (compress) < mean.
Design
In a Design we move from the Visual to the Semantic making use of Words (Blends) or Schema’s, a Pattern of thought or behavior that organizes categories of information and the relationships among them.
When you observe the distinct unique objects the only thing yo can do is Count them using a unity, give a name to the numbers and put them in different orders (permutations).
Long Horn Medicine Wheel: Every Unique Stone has a unique Place (Angle) in the Circle and a unique Meaning.
Rhe Medicine wheel is the oldest cycle in history.
As you can see the Moebius Ring is, the model of Light is in the center.
The four corners are controlled by the animals with unique characteristics like the Eagle.
The four animals come back in many beliefsystems including Christianity.
Beauty of the Whole
When you observe them as a whole you could experience different types of emotions sometimes related to the concept of Beauty.
In this case I want to present the work of the recently died Christopher Alexander called the Nature of Order.
Assigning an Amount
When you have put all the different unique objects in the Chronotope it is possible to assign different quantative values (an amount) and give this amount a name to the object and create a ranking.
Nature of Order
From Summer to Autumn
a period of harvesting, collecting and dryness.
Transformation
From Autumn to Winter
period of retreat, stillness, contracting and coolness.
From Winter to Spring
Examples:
Using Play as the Essence of sport.
A few weeks ago I made a model of the Sports
I chose the name Spel (Play, Game) for the Unique Part of the Model
Will McWhinney called this “game”, the Game that creates Games, The Trickster or the Fool as Archetype.
In this blog I use the insights from my blogs about Anti-fragility and Panarchy to find out how to design to prevent that a new system returns to its old state..
An Ecology changes when the Unique entities Unite.
Unique humans are called Visionairs, Prophets, Guru’s Mystics, They See with their Inner Eye, the Imagination.
Fusion <-> Specialization
The Unbroken Sequence of Origins is a Cycle that starts at the beginning of the Universe and shows that Fusion and Specialization are the major factors.
We are approaching a new Fusion. This was already predicted 5000 years ago.
This step was called the Waterbearer. It ends the Age of the Fish, the time of good and bad (?Dualism).
Mikhael Bahktin predicted this Transformation too in his work he wrote in the Gulag Archipel of Stalin.
In the geometry I explore the triangle and the many different geometries that can be made out of combining triangles.
Semantics
In the semantics I explore the same trinity now called a bisocation or a Conceptual blend.
A Suare is a combination of two Triangles and contains six lines.
Square-> Quadrangle: Quaternio
A Square is a combination of two Triangles
Carl Jung discovered that the old “mystical” theories are based on squares (quadrangle)he called a Quaternio.
Point of View
a Point-of-View is dependent on the Scale and the tpe of Space you live in.
In non-euclidian space everything is Curved.
Frame
In our Euclidian space we always look through a Rectangular Frame.
Preserving Structure
This new approach is based on Structure Preserving Maps that were found when the Anthropologist Alan Fiske discovered that the Types of Relationships he found worldwide in every culture were compatible with the Scales of Measurement.
If it is an insight it could be a result of an outsight.
In this case you have moved from the summer the time of looking to the autumn, the time of taking store to the winter the time of reflection coming out of hybernation in Spring.
Put the difference in a whole and count them.
give a name to the numbers and a assign an amount to the unique differences.
Order (Sort) the amounts.
Beauty
Unique objects can be permutated where a certain permutation could give the emotion of Beauty.
In this case you have found the Nature of Order of the recently died Meta-architect Christopher Alexander.
Transform from Levels to States.
(5) Step 3 Transformfrom Ranking Order to measuring a Distance needing a uniform measuring sStick like Hours or Money.
This blog started as a course in a new type of design based on many earlier blogs.
I called it Anti-fragile Design.
When I started to explain the essence of the long sequence of blogs I discovered that Resilience is the main reason that new designs fail.
They fail for the simple reason that the “old” always comes back.
This is also the Quintessence of Alchemy.
The concept Antifragility was invented to beat Resilience and Resilience is the foundation of Panarchy, a theory about Ecologies.
Ecologies make a jump to a “Higher” level with a different Rythm but the Meta-pattern behind the jumps is not changed.
The universe is repeating its repeatings all the time.
Perhaps they are all te same and we Name them differently.
The same is proved by the theory of Peter Rowlands that shows that the Meta-pattern is a Quaternion or even an Octionion.
The “bad” thing of both number-systems is that they are noncommutative and nonassociative meaning that the result of an algorithm is dependent on the order it is applied: ab is not equal to ba.
Every Path of Change has another result dependent on the path that is taken.
This makes our universe highly Unpredictable and Context-Dependent.
In this blog I try to define the Computer Architecture of the Future.
“The Present is built on Semiconductors” But “The Future will come from somewhere else”.
I believe this architecture will be based on “Nature” because the architecture of “nature” is already based on a Turing machine.
DNA Storage and Programming
it is possible to write a program that makes it possible to generate specialized DNA that generates a specialized organism but that leaves the question open how many organisms are coordinated and how they are coordinated by the coordinator?
Organisms are a cooperation of billions of 1-cellular organisms.
Dna can be used to store a lot of information in a Very Small volume.
DNA is not the carrier of All the data of the organism.
Cell, Organism, Swarm, Ecosystem
The picture below comes out of the work of Michael Levin.
He proved that the DNA determinates the hardware but not the software of the organism.
Biofield
The software is a Bioelectric field created by the electric-field of the organisms.
The Electro-Magnetic Field determinates the Shape or the Bodyplan of the Organism.
The smaller we go the more intelligent becomes the organism.
Single cell organisms have no brain but act like they have a brain.
Single cells are able to unite in many different highly adaptive organisms.
If we apply this model to the humans we have to unite to become adaptive on a higher level (Earth, Solar System, etc).
Michael Levin explains how.
Millions of independent organisms without a nervoussystem don’t need DNA to coordinate their behavior.
They do that bySwarmingjust like Birds and Fire-Flys do.
History of Computer Architecture
The history shows a highly Dynamical Ecosystem where Issues come and go mostly because of Hypes.
The IT-community is Swarming just like the organisms do.
In the end “old” issues like Modularity and Communality vs Variability come back.
In this video from 2016 Microservices were nr.1.
Compress until the Planck Level:
Microservices are part of a general trend to compress software and hardware.
In the end the compressed machines reach the smallest Planck-level in which Quantum-mechanics is dominant.
Heterogenoeus Computing
Hardware becomes programmable blurring the distinction between both fields.
Hardware/software can also be Specialized because of specific demands like very Big data and very Good Performance or specialized Algorithms that come out of AI.
It is also possible to Make or Buy an FPGA: a Field Programmable Gate Arrays or an ASIC, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit.
Privacy
Modularity and Communality
Currently customers expect to be able to purchase customized products for near mass production prizes.
To make this possible many parts have been standardised and the Arrangement of the Parts is configured and the Configurator has become a Meta-configurator . Where is the end?
In 1993 I designed an Architecture for Cordys, a Process-Manager based on the BPML-standard.
I used a general change-architecture Paths of Change (PoC) designed by Will McWhinney of UCLA.
In the picture below you see two Connected Networks using the same architecture and a Multi-purpose Collaboration system that uses MovingSoftware put into specialized Containers.
The containers are evaluated by what i call a Servant.
Interested read de PDF below or look at this link.
The Six parts are 2-combinations of Four parts coloured Red (Action), Green (Values, Emotion, Yellow Imagination) and Blue (Control).
A Flow system with a general User Interface (Yellow/Green) that uses Containers that contain data and software that visit specilized machines (Servant) with a Warehouse that contains reusable Appliances (Red, Action).
Hardware has become software and is using Itself to Execute its programs.
This not new. It is used all over the universe.
Action And not-Action
can be put into a cycle with a very short cycle time.
It is the way Light is becoming Matter and Matter becoming Light.
The four views of PoC are put into a structure where every view is the complement of the opposite View.
This pattern was called a Quaternion by Carl Jung and comes out of Alchemy.
The two Rotated Squares of Leibniz combine the square of logic of Aristotle with the square of Alchemy both based on oppositions of oppositions.
HomeoStasis and Inhibition
Life on earth started with small Autocatalytic Cells with a membrane that “controlled” its proces by generating an inhibitor to stop growing.
Every proces is controlled by its anti-proces that is controlled by its anti-anti-proces.
An Inhibitor Activator System
Virtual Hardware
RISC and the future of RISC
RISC means Reduced Instruction Set Computer.
An Instruction Set defines the Machine language is built up from discrete statements or instructions.
Until now nobody got the idea to define a Machine with the effect that the machine was doing things nobody needed making it too complex.
The Reduction of the instruction is still not finished.
The Meta-Architects Henessey and Patterson are now realizing that they have to look with a new view on software from Top to Bottom.
RISc V
Risc v is an Open Source development platform from Berkely University that has generated many open en closed applications.
Because of the war in Ukraine many countries including Russia, India and /china are now veveloping their own Line. of Chip development all based on Riscc V (or higher)
Semiconductor Strategy
Semiconducters are “essential” parts of computers for such a long time that nobody believes there were alternatives that never made it until now the world became Multi-Polar and the Cold War that was never stopped came back.
At ABN and ABN AMRO i was responsible for the software development cycle.
From the start of automation in the sixties ABN and AMRO used a dictionary controlled development proces.
A Dictionary later called a Repository is a specialize database that contains the Meta-model of the development cycle and a proces model that moves software to the Implematation Architecture that contains the hardware and the network.
The technical architecture contains a customer and a bank specific part that supports Electronic Banking (now on Mobile Phones) and support departments of the bank world wide.
We now start to define a new Computer Architecture based on very different Points-of-view coming from different area’s of Science.
We start with Biology.
Reactions to a Disturbance
When a Microbial community is Disturbed it can React in many Ways.
Composition vs Performance
The reaction can be described by a Composition and its Performance.
There are 4 combinations in this picture named Resistance,
Resilience and
FunctionalRedundancy.
The last one is also called Anti-fragility.
An Event triggers a System that is composed of 2**n (2,4,16,…)components that are all connected in a Cycle.
The Binary pattern (Order, not order) was called Yin and Yang in ancient china. The I Ting (an book of oracles) consist of 64 posibilities.
The 2**N possibilities can be visualised by the Triangle of Pascal or a Spiraling Spiral.
This spiraling pattern is also produced by the Octionons a combination of Quaternions that are combinations of Complex numbers.
Spirals
Te pictures below are the result of mapping
(1) a general Change Archtecture (Paths of Change) with
(2) the general Relationship-model of Alan Fiske to
(3) the Scales of Measurement to
(4) general Geometries
using a 1-to-1Mapping.
All of them are cycles that have four possible directions Up, Down, Forwards, Backwards in 3D-space and much more complex geometries in higher dimensions.
Sheng Cycle The Whole is Part of the Cycle
In this cycle the connection to the cross in the center has become a part of the cycle meaning a Move to the Whole is part of the cycle,
Cycle Generator
A rotating circle generates cycles with the frequency of the rotation.
Everycycle move Up and Down with a Setpoint in the middle.
Panarchy
Panarchy is a theory about Ecologies.
Geometry Cycle
In this picture you see the terminology of Panarchy you can see above mapped in a Path of Change model (Colors) connected to the model of Alan Fiske and the model of Interpersonal theory related by the theory of Scales of Mesurement and related Geometries.
This reference model was initially created byPeter Rowlands by rewriting the Formulas of Physics.
He found an Adaptive Machine that is rewriting its own Operating system and its apllication software based on a constraint that makes sure that the universe is always in Balance.
So no Big Bang but an Eternal Being.
Symmetry and Nilpotence
Every Change Sums to Zero.
When the sums are not zero the “software” is changed to get back to zero.
The universe is based on “software” that rewrites itself to stay zero.
Hardware is put into a chip with variableinstruction sets.
Virtual Virtual Machines
Computer software is put into a Virtual Machine that makes it possible to simulate a computer on a computer.
The end of this proces is of abstraction minimal hardware is put into a minimal chip with a variable outside (User interface) that is connected to the Senses.
I was responsible for the software development cycle of a very big bank.
Repository
This proces was from the beginning supported by a Dictionary later called a Repository.
Metamodel
A repository is a specialized database that contains specialized software with a specialized User Interface that automates the development proces as nuch as possible.
It constains a generator that generates software that operates on the hardware and network.
Life started as an Autocatalytic system that was controlled by a constraint that triggers an opposite(inhibitor) proces that prohibits growing too fast.
In our body the same happens and even in our culture we use inhibitors to stop growing.
Strangely enough this inhibitor we call “creativity”. Creativity stops the dominance of the old.
Not the DNA but the Bio-electric field mostly created by a collective of 1-cellular organisms determinates sthe Shape and contains the Memory of the organism.
Conclusion
in this blog I have gathered a lot of data to use in a Next blog in which I will make a meta-design you can use.
My last blog was about the link between the Body and the Zero-point-field.
In this blog I build a bridge between my blog about the Semantical/chemical human being to the Zeropoint field.
Two Symmetric Universes connected by the Vacuum
In another blog I found the two Symmetric Universes we visit when we are Awake ansd Asleep (and dead).
They are connected by the Vacuum.
The Soul lives in a Different Universe
In another blog I wrote about the Universe of the Moon we live in when we sleep and die.
Some people are able to move to this universe at will.
Human Bias, the End of the Rational Human
Recently I discovered Heuristics , a result of a Paradigm shift in Psychology that started with the research of the Nobelprize winner Kahnemann in the Human Bias.
Humans are confused Predators (Hawks) or Cooperative fragile Doves.
Humans are a paradox created by the contradiction between Agency and Communion.
Interpersonal Theory
My clast blog about psychology was written in 2007.
In this blog I will reuse his never published book (see the end of this blog).
Entrainment
Coupling is also called Entrainment or synchronisation.
To synchronize you need a Rhythm that looks like a metronome or a (cosmic) clock.
Walter Russell got a vision in which he was told how the universe works.It is based on a cosmic clock you can see in the PoC-version below.
The Human is a copy(a lower level fractal) of the Universe in which Creativity (Inspiration -> Spirit) “stores” its energy in the Emotions (“Action Potential) that starts a cycle that looks like a Moebius Ring we could interpret as a Production-Consumption-Cycle.
Production-Consumption Cycle
Quaternion
Later I discovered that PoC is a Quaternion., a theory of Carl Jung he took out of Alchemy.
Jung learnt a lot from Wolfgang Pauli one of the the creators of Quantum Mechanics.
The same cycle used in Interpersonal theory based on ?Yin/Yang, Female/Mal, Agency/Communion, is put into a Mobius -Cycle (8) meaning two cycles with an opposite Rotation (Chakra) that meet in the Heart.
Summary
0 Introduction In this blog I want to fuse a lot of blogs I have written about the Human being as a Semantic and Biophysical entity.
1 The diffrence between small and big Organisms is much smaller than we think.
Bacteria share their bodyplan with humans and are therefore also able to make meaning.
2 Biophysics is changed because of Quantum Mechanics (QM).
QM is focused on the small and therefore also on the very small organisms.
Hij schrreef een Computer Programma Entropicadat dit vermijden automatisch doet en het lijkt er nu op dat hij de formule heeft gevonden die alles beschrijft.
Entropie(S)
Die formule komt uit de Thermodynamica en en heeft betrekking op wat men de Entropie (S) noemt.
Die is “een maat voor de waarschijnlijkheid van een bepaalde verdeling van microtoestanden(bewegingstoestanden van elementaire bouwstenen als atomen en moleculen), binnen een geïsoleerd fysisch systeem.
Alex werkt hierbij samen met onder meer Eric Chaisson een Astrofysicus en de schrijver van the Cosmic evolution: the Rise of Complexity in Nature.
Zijn theorie lijkt erg veel op deConstructal Lawvan Adrean Bejan.
Bejan is een expert in de thermodynamica en “ontdekker” van de “constructal law”..
Constructal Law, een nieuwe visie op Thermodynamica
StroomSystemen Banen hun eigen Pad”.
Energy Flows produce Work/Unit Time
Chaisson argues that cosmic history can be examined from the perspective of energy flows. He sees energy as “Work per unit time” which he equates with power, and shows how energy rate density in some structures has Increased over time.
In iedere stap wordt het steeds makkelijker om de in- en uitstroom van Energie te verwerken.
De entropie bereken je met kansberekening waarbij er vaak gebruik wordt gemaakt van de combinatoriek, de wiskunde van het combineren.
Combineren van Combinaties
Je kunt een Statistische berekening ook theoretisch maken.
Dan komen we in de Waarschijnlijkheidrekening terecht die laat zien dat als je de Aantallen (de wet van de grote aantallen) maar groot genoeg worden alles op elkaar gaat lijken.
Dat is in de praktijk van het leven waar te nemen.
Driehoeken
De driehoek hierboven laat zien hoe er patronen ontstaan die zich eindeloos herhalen (fractals genoemd).
Tijd meten we met een klok die is gebaseerd op een Verdeling van de 360 graden van een terugkerend patroon zoals de rotatie van de Maan rond de Aarde of de aarde rond de Zon.
Zonder die referentiekaders bestaat er geen tijd behalve dat we ook merken dat sommige zaken Veranderen. Dat kan alleen als we een referentiepunt vinden dat zelf niet verandert.
Zo zien we op basis van de zonnecyclus een continu proces van uitdijen (groeien) en en weer uiteenvallen (compressie).
We vatten deze twee bewegingen even samen met de term Ademen.
Expansie en Compressie: Waar ligt het Midden?
Volgens de huidige theorie Expandeert het Universum waardoor men terugredenerend bedenkt dat het universum heel Klein is begonnen als een samenballing van enorm veel Massa.
Als er sprake is van ademen zal de expansie van het Universum ook weer moeten overgaan in uitvallen, Compressie.
Dat gebeurt volgens de nieuwste inzichten middels een Gat in de Ruimte, een Wormhole of een Einstein-Rosen-Bridge genoemd.
Wormhole en Multiversum
Als we terug in de tijd gaan en geloven dat het begin een hele kleine massaklomp is komen we vanzelf in de Quantummechanica terecht maar ook in een Zwart gat wat weer gekoppeld kan zijn aan een Wit gat (“Wormhole” dat uitkomt in een ander Universum.
Wat de mogelijkheid biedt om er meerdere van te bedenken, het Multiversum. Helaas heeft deze redenering geen einde behalve als we geloven dat er iets is wat hetzelfde blijft anders loopt het universum “leeg“.
Het gevolg is een Wiskundige Chaos
De wiskunde die bij deze natuurkundige overwegingen hoort ziet er zo bijzonder uit dat men nu gelooft dat er of andere aannamen golden (bijvoorbeeld een evenwicht (Som is constant of iets anders) ) of dat er een andere wiskunde moet worden gebruikt die erg veel llijkt op de combinatoriek.
Combineren en Herhalen
Het universum probeert alles uit en gaat verder met het combineren van combinaties totdat een Oude bekende toestand in een andere bekende Vorm weer terugkeert.
Analogie
Vandaar dat men vroeger aannam dat het begin van het universum een mens was die zo eenzaam was dat hij delen van zichzelf aan het werk zette om iets moois te bedenken.
The 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are a combination of the Trinity, the 7 Planets and 12 Signs of the Zodiac.
Bindu
Een bindu is een puntvormig gaatje in de ruimte wat erg veel wegheeft van een zwart gaatje dat nu de massa niet naar binnen zuigt maar naar buiten en van daaruit kleine Torsi-Veldjes produceert die als Licht ons universum bevolken waarna ze ergens weer via een klein Zwart gat weer “thuis” komen.
In de Indiase cosmologie zijn ze al lang bekend en zichtbaar in alle “machines” (Yantra) zoals de Sri Yantra.
Erik-Verlinde en Leonard Suskind over Zwaartekracht
Is Zwaartekracht Informatie en wat is Informatie?
Dit stukje tekst tot de samenvatting bevat 3 video’s van Prof. Erik Verlinde en Leonard Suskind over een nieuwe theorie over zwaartekracht
Dit deel kan worden overgeslagen. Wil je dat? Druk dan hier.
Iedere theorie heeft een eigen Schaal
In onderstaand plaatje van Dirk Meijer zie je een herhalend patroon wat een “fractal wordt genoemd.
Dat patronen zich herhalen op iedere schaal is eigenlijk een “wet”, een terugkerende “observatie”.
Zwaartektacht is het gevolg van een bijzondere manier van kijken namelijk middels een bepaalde schaal die groter is dan de schaal van de Quantum Mechanica, de “Nano-Schaal”.
Informatie is een Proces
Informatie is eigenlijk formeren, een proces wat Erik Verlinde ook wel benoemt met Software.
Het gaat er om welke data (verkregen door Meting of Waarneming) je in welke formule moet stoppen waarbij die formule of een patroon is wat je in de data ziet of een bekend proces wat al is vertaald in een formule.
Demiurg: Het Universum is een Machine
Volgens de gnostici, een oude religie die voor het christendom bestond, beheerst de ~Demiurg de werkelijkheid.
Ons Universum is het gevolg van een “fout” in de schepping (het breken van het pleroma) waarna de Demiurg het over nam.
Sommige Theorieën passen niet meer op de Waarnemingen
De natuurkunde bouwt voort op de oude geaccepteerde theorien totdat ze gaan knellen zoals de theorie van Einstein en de Big bang die berust op achteruit redeneren naar een begin wat er wellicht nooit was omdat alles zich herhaalt
Maxwell (1840)
De theorie van Maxwell is eigenlijk altijd passend gebleven maar werd aangepast aan het resultaat van een meting die later fout bleek te zijn.
Quaternions zijn Spiralen (3D-rotatie):
Maxwell maakte gebruik van een recente (1840) wiskundige uitvinding (de Quaternions die nu weer zijn vergeten.
De quaternions en Octionions zijn beide een Complex getal wat eigenlijk een Rotatie is terwijl een “gewoon” getal een Verplaatsing is.
De aantekeningen van Maxwell gemaakt met ijzerpoeder en een magneet.
Ballenbak
Een mooi voorbeeld wat later in de video ook aan de orde is is de Algemene gaswet waarin “deeltjes voorgesteld als “pingpongballetjes” in een afgesloten ruimte met een volume dat kan worden bemeten onder druk worden gezet of door het Volume te verkleinen of om de Temperatuur te verhogen wat de beweging van de balletjes stimuleert.
Zwaartekracht lijkt op Druk
Als je het universum voorstelt als een ballon die langzaam leegloopt of wordt opgeblazen lijkt de druk in de ballon op zwaartekracht en moet je nu gaan afvragen waar er wordt geblazen en dat kan een ander universum zijn dat via een zwart-wit-gat communiceert.
Gekoppelde universa.
Van Druk naar Beweging
Door te denken in afgesloten ruimten kun je de natuurkunde transformeren naar de thermodynamica de wetenschap van de Stoommachine waar Druk wordt omgezet in een ronddraaiende Beweging.
Stoommachine
Het vervelende van de stoomachine is dat het apparaat bestaat uit allerlei fysieke mechanische onderdelen die moeilijk te vinden zijn in een niet tastbare (virtuele) wereld die in de verbeelding van de wetenschap wordt gebruikt en dus eigenlijk niet bestaat.
Carnot
Carnot berekende dat de efficiency van de machine volledig afhankelijk is van het verschil tussen de in-en-uitgaande temperatuur, wat een maat is voor de beweging van de balletjes die Moleculen worden genoemd.
Stoommachine. Volgens Freund zijn onze emoties een stoomachine.
De algemene gaswet gaat over het gedrag van Deeltjes in een afgeloten ruimte.
Entropie: Orde vs Wanorde
Dit is een erg verwarrend concept dat soms wordt vertaald met chaos terwijl het eigenlijk een maat is voor orde.
Die orde heeft betrekking op het aantal mogelijke Combinaties wat is af te leiden m.b.v. de Combinatoriek een wiskundig vakgebied wat volgens Leibniz de basis vormt voor innovatie.
Emergence is een duidelijk Zicht op een effect dat door vele meestal min of meer gelijke “Agents” (“actoren”) tot stand wordt gebracht.
Thermodynamica als Denkraam
Een “wormhole”. of een EPR (Einstein Podolfsky Rosen-Bridge. biedt de oplossing om Quantum mechanica en Zwaartekracht te fuseren. Hierbij hebben we ook nog een andere (anti-gekromde) De Sitter Ruimte voor nodig.
Anti-de-sitter ruimte
Quantum Origins of Gravity
Samenvatting
Wat kunnen we met ons scheppend vermogen?
Wat is Intelligentie? We manoevreren ons net op tijd uit een naderend einde.
Om dat te kunnen moeten we kunnen spelen met de Entropievan de Tijd-Ruimte waarin we leven.
Stroomsystemen banen hun eigen weg en dat doen ze steeds op dezelfde manier.
In de loop der tijd zijn de stroomsystem steeds beter geworden in het balanceren van de in-enuitgaande Stroom van Energie.
De tijd-ruimte (space-time) staat ter discussie in de natuurkunde.
Dat komt omdat het begin als heel klein en vol met materie wordt gezien waardoor het vanzelf een zwart gat wordt. Maar waar gaat dat gat heen? naar een andere ruimte?
of kunnen we gewoon omlopen naar een ander Deurtje?
Het resultaat is een gebogen ruimte in de vorm van een omgekeerde kegel waarvan wij ons op de rand bevinden.
Hologram
Aangezien alle informatie in de rand zit lijkt dit universum op een Hologram waarbij de rand fungeert als de muur waartegen golven die door de binnenkamt (de “Bulk“) gaan kunnen Weerkaatsen met steeds een andere hoek.
Het collectief van een-celligen kan door het veranderen van de (i.h.a chemische) context zich totaal anders gedragen en zelfs totaal nieuwe meervoudige organismen produceren.
2 De coordinatie vindt plaats middels Licht waarbij het DNA de Zender en Ontvanger is.
Driehoek van Pascal
3 Er zijn vele manieren van samenwerken die kunnen worden vertaald in een digitale code., die kan worden gebrukt om patronen te vinden.
Er zitten heel veel “mystieke” patronen in de Driehoek van Pascal.
Cosmische Klok
4 Op de achtergrond tikt een Cosmische klok die alle processen synchroniseert.
5 Prof Dirk Meijer legt in een interview uit hoe alles volgens hem samenhangt.
Licht
6 Hierbij relateert hij alles aan een torodiale geometrie , de geometrie van het Licht.
7 Die geometrie is overal bij de mens terug te vinden maar ook in zijn Uitingen (dans, litteratuur,..)
8 Het placebo effect is een voorbeeld waar het geloof van de mens in zijn herstellend vermogen een rol speelt.
9 Uiteindelijk komt het neer op het formueren van een intentie en mindful (“met aandacht”) leven.
Kosmische Muziek
10 In een tweede document legt Dirk Meijer samen met Henk Kieft wat zij onder Quantum Biologie verstaan en hoe de kosmische klok Harmonische klanken produceert.
Hoe kunnen we meespelen? Door goed af te stemmen met de tijdgeest.
Het belangrijkste inzicht komt van de bioloog Michael Lewin.
Hij laat zien hoe een-celligen zonder externe besturing van bijv. een DNA de structuur van hun samenwerking bepalen door een collectief E/M-veld te genereren wat in feite een samenspel van het licht is.
Het Vacuum
In mijn vorige blog werd het duidelijk dat de Werkelijkheid een constructie is van de Verbeelding die middels het Bewustzijn het Zero-point-veld (het Vacuum) aanstuurt.
We scheppen op die manier onze eigen werkelijkheid.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities.
It is hidden but always present. I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God.
Wat doen de Hersenen? Samen laten Werken
Volgens John Cotterill denken we met onze spieren en lijken we erg veel op onze voorouders de bacterien die een groot deel van ons lichaam controleren.
De hersenen coördineren bijv. links<->rechts.
Collectief Bewustzijn
Eigenlijk zijn we al een Collectief Bewustzijn wat met vergelijkbaren (i.h.a. eencellige organismen) samenleeft en consequent bezig is om af te stemmen.
Daar merken we niets van omdat alles in de achtergrond plaatsvindt totdat de achtergrond zichtbaar wordt.
Context
Het blijkt dat het veranderen van de context totaal andere organismen oplevert en dat de context het ook eenvoudig mogelijk maakt om bestaande meercelligen te fuseren met onvolmaakte (eigenlijk gemanipuleerde) meercellige.
Men noemt dat nu
Cell Swarms
Uiteindelijk bestaan alle organismen uit 1-celligen. De grote vraag is wat “onderliggend” is. Dit kan worden gezocht (en wellicht gevonden) in de biomathematica.
Het DNA is een Antenne
In de communicatie speelt het DNA een grote rol.
Het fungeert als de antenne van een zender en ontvanger die zich afstemt op Gelijksoortigen.
Het Geheel bepaalt welke rol het Deel in het Geheel gaat spelen.
“how do the activities of competent, lower- level agents give rise to a multiscale holobiont that is truly more than the sum of its parts? And, given the myriad of ways that parts can be assembled and relate to each other, is it possible to define ways in which truly diverse intelligences can be recognized, compared, and understood?”
Not the DNA but the collective of cells determines wat a single cel will become to create a whole.
Ecologie
Een Ecologie is eigenlijk ook een Swarm.
Over het optimaal functioneren van een Ecologie is erg veel zinvol onderzoek gedaan onder de noemer
Het Geheugen is het Gevolg van het Afwikkelen van een Golf
Het lichaam synchroniseert met de Golven die de Aarde (de z.g. Schumann Resonance) produceert.
Deze golven dragen net als bij water “componenten (“moment opnamen“) ” met zich mee die “netjes” in de juiste Volgorde worden opgeleverd, worden aangevuld, daarna worden afgeleverd en weer worden opgeborgen.
Waar zit het Bewustzijn in de Hersenen?
Waar zit het Bewustzijn?
Licht in het Lichaam -> Biophotonen
De cellen in ons lichaam produceren Coherent Licht Biophotonen genoemd.
Licht is de bron van alles wat er is en fuseert en splitst zich met het hoogste (Planck) frequentie mogelijk.
Alle Materie bestaat uit Licht en andersom.
Materie bestaat uit Licht
Licht en dus ook materie gedraagt zich als een spiralende spiraal die naar evenwicht zoekt.
Licht Splitst en fuseert weer in twee tegengestelde deeltjes.
Licht is een spiralende spiraal.
Moebius Ring (8)
Dit is het basismodel van een Ecologie. Een mens is een ecologie waarin heel erg veel meesat eencellige organismen samenwerken.
Ecologie
Photon
Levensenergie
Chi of Prana is de “Indiase en Chinese ” naam voor Levensenergie. Chi en Prana zijn dus eigenlijk Licht met een bepaalde golflengte.
Voedsel en Kwaliteit van Leven meten m.b.v Biophotonen
Het is mogelijk om de voedsel-kwaliteit te meten door de patronen van de biophotonen te meten die het voedsel uitzendt. Dat geldt ook voor “dood” voedsel.
Metingen geven aan welke Kwaliteit van Leven de dieren en planten en eieren hebben doorgemaakt maar ook of het voedsel genetisch is gemanipuleerd.
Imuunsysteem
Biophotonen laten ook de kwaliteit van het Immuunsysteem zien wat behulpzaam is bij Covid maar nooit is gebruikt. Ik heb een Immuunsysteem APK-keuring voorgesteld aan het RIVM.
Interpersonal Theory (IP)
Interpersonal theory verklaart de mens vanuit de relatie met “anderen” die ook deel kunnen uitmaken van dezelfde persoonlijkheid.
Als anderen niet reageren zoals we dat verwachten haken we af of geraken in een conflict.
Samen Dansen
Samenleven is net als dansen.
Nataraja (Shiva) danst de wereld uit het niets. De vier hand-en been bewegingen corresponderen met de vier samenwerkingsvormen van IP.
Als je de Muziek niet hoort en voelt die in een relatie zit kun je geen Stap meer doen.
In Elkaar, Uit Elkaar-> Ademen
De relaties kunnen worden beschreven met behulp van twee variabelen die in de psychologie Communion (“Samen“) en Agency (“Alleen“) worden genoemd.
De combinatie lijkt op Ademen.
Agency is “the pursuit of Individualitythrough Power and Control;
Communion is the Participation in a large Organism through Care and Contact.
Yin en Yang
Communion en Agency kunnen ook worden getypeerd met Vrouwelijk en Mannelijk of met Yin en Yang (0 en 1).
Ze kan door combinatie worden uitgebreid tot 2++n mogelijkheden ( het “Interpersonal Circumplex“) die kunnen worden beschreven door de driehoek van Pascal of de berg Meru. Ze zijn eigenlijk een gevolg van de z.g. binomiale expansie (X+Y)++n die convergeert naar de normaal-verdeling als ze als een kansverdeling wordt gebruikt.
De Chinese versie van de driehoek van Pascal
Paradox
Yin en Yang zijn elkaars tegendeel en vormen samen een Paradox.
Interpersonal Circumplex
Flow
Synchronisatie
Walter Russell kreeg een Visioen waarin hem de werking van het Universum werd uitgelegd.
Het systeem wordt gedreven door ee Klok die wordt gevoed door de emoties (Potential) en een Puls van de Creativiteit die Productiecyclus aanstuurt.
Hoe werkt de Automatische Piloot van de Mens?
De tekst tot aan de PDF vat de PDF samen.
De PDF bevat een interview met Prof Dirk Meijer.
Prof Dirk Meijer legt in dit interview uit hoe hij denkt dat het Bewustzijn werkt hierbij maakt hij een onderscheid tussen Aandacht en Bewustzijn.
Er gebeurt van alles wat onze aandacht niet opmerkt en dat komt omdat we het moeilijk of zelfs niet bewust kunnen maken.
De neuronen in ons brein werken op een chemische manier.
Die is veel te langzaam om de snelheid van de processen te verklaren.
Alles in de natuur is gebaseerd op drie aspecten die hij Materie,Energie en Informatie noemt.
Holografisch van 3 -> 2 Dimensies:
Prof Meijer gelooft in het Holografisch Universum.
Dit maakt het mogelijk om 3 dimensies op een plat vlak (1×1) = 2 dimensies af te beelden.
Verder dan onze Horizon kunnen we niet Kijken
Dit principe kun je op iedere dimensie van toepassing verklaren met als “inzicht” dat de informatie over de “Vorm” in de Rand (“Boundary“) zit.
Die is vergelijkbaar met de “Horizon”
verder dan onze horizon kunnen we niet kijken.
Fractal
Een nog belangrijker principe is Zelf-referentie ook wel fractal genoemd.
Zo Boven Zo Beneden
Het betekent dat dezelfde principes zich op iedere schaal herhalen en dat we door onszelf te kennen het Universum kennen.
Zo is het model van de Interpersonal Theory samen gevat in het concept Ademen een terugkerend principe net als het principe van de de Boom (“Vertakking“)..
Zodra mensen elkaar ontmoeten worden hun hersenen gesynchroniseerd.
Dat is niet te verklaren vanuit de zintuigen maar vanuit een onderliggend communicatie-systeem waarin licht en vele vormen van licht een grote rol speelt.
Dirk Meyer heeft zoals zoveel van zijn voorgangers ontdekt dat de Torus overal tevoorscijn komt.
Een torus ontstaat door een cirkel te Wentelen om een lijn die zich in het vlak van de cirkel bevindt. Als deze lijn de cirkel niet snijdt of raakt, is het resultaat een open torus welke ringvormig is, of vergelijkbaar met de binnenband van een fiets.
In de video aan het begin over het licht wordt de torus die het spiralende licht volgt stap getoond waarbij met behulp van een gedraaide riem de vorm (een Moebius Ring) zichtbaar wordt.
Various modalities of toroidal geometry: (A) Nested torus structure (B) Torus trajectory (red) (C) Atomic structure as double torus, (D) Filled space-time structure with singularity; (E) Torus network at the Planck scale: ultra-structure of quantum foam F: Torus model for rebirth of the Universe from a Wormhole/Black hole/White hole structure (G) Donut model of the universe, (H) Knot structure in torus as metaphor for attractor/standing wave, (I) cartoon of the twistor as a supposed space-time unit
Een Torus die bestaat uit Kubussen.
Geometrie
Torrodiale Geometrie lijkt op een Orkaan.
Menselijke Beweging en het Alfabet
Rudolf Laban Space Harmony -De letters in het Alfabet kunnen worden gerepresenteerd door een patroon dat in een Kubus past.
Kim Veltman legt uit hoe het alfabet is ontstaan. Het is een resultaat van de ontworpen taal Sanskrit waarbij Sanskrit de praktijk van het geluidmaken betekent.
de Geometrie van de Menselijke Relaties
Alan Fiske is een antropoloog die een cultuur onafhankelijk model van de menselijke relaties heeft gemaakt.
Geometrische modellen vormen samen een cyclus. Euclidische geometrie is de geometrie van het platte vlak, terwijl de projectieve geometrie past op een bol of een ander gekromd vlak.
fusie fiske en holling (panarchie)
2D model Panarchie
Raam en Horizon
De emoties (groen) zijn een gekromde ruimte terwijl het waarnemen altijd middels een Raam plaatsvindt waarin we een euclidische platte (vlakke) ruimte veronderstellen die een Horizon heeft omdat onze wereld eigenlijk rond is.
Schap
Een dergelijke 2dim ruimte wordt een schap genoemd (in het engels scape bv landscape) maar het komt ook voor in bv Vriendschap (Friendship) waarbjij Schip weer een plank is die drijft.
We Beschouwen onze buitenwereld vanuit een 2 dimensionaal Raam.
Een schap is een Plank (een 2D-model) waarop we wat we weten netjes neerzetten en waarbij de Horizon de grens is van het nu onbereikbare.
De ProjectieveMeetkunde is ontstaan uit het Perspectief tekenen.
Iedere geometrie is afhankelijk van de vorm van de ruimte waarop hij van toepassing is.
Placebo-Effect
Farmaceutische Bedrijven proberen door middel van Statistische Manipulatie het z.g. Placebo-effect uit te sluiten. Dat kan niet.
Eigenlijk willen ze bewijzen dat het medicijn het zelfherstellende proces van het lichaam uitsluit wat eigenlijk onmogelijk is omdat er altijd herstel zal moeten plaatsvinden nadat bijvoorbeeld er met behulp van een Chemische interventie een kankercel is vernietigd.
Met name het slecht opruimen van dode cellen is een oorzaak voor een auto-immuun-reactie.
Dat herstel gaat vanzelf totdat de schade niet meer kan worden gerepareerd.
Hoe Herstelt het Lichaam zich?
Veerkracht (Hormesis)
Hormesis staat voor de Levenskracht die lijkt op een Veer vandaar Veerkracht (Resilience anti-fragility).
Verwarren en Ontwarren
Bij het intrekken van de boog kunnen de Draden van een levenssysteem Verward worden waardoor het niet meer soepel heen en weer kan gaan.
Er zijn heel veel Eiwitten die deze ontwarring weer kunnen opheffen.
Het herstel vindt altijd op dezelfde wijze plaats totdat er een letterlijk een Kink in de kabel zit.
Gelijksoortigheid (Simila) van Oorzaak en Genezing
Vergelijkbare ziekten hebben vergelijkbare genezingspatronen en soms helpt het om de ziekteverwekker in hele kleine hoeveelheid toe te dienen waardoor het ontknopen en herstellen weer plaats vindt.
Grote ingrepen hebben grote bijeffecten.
Chronisch Ziek
In het algemeen genezen mensen vrijwel nooit volledig na zo’n ingreep en schakelen over op een ander meestal Chronisch Ziektebeeld wat voor de Industrie aantrekkelijk is.
Geloof is “Als een Kind zijn”
Er zijn experimenten gedaan met zogenaamde toevalgeneratoren zoals dobbelstenen en software-programma’s, die een willekeurig Getal trekken om te onderzoeken of en onder welke omstandigheden mensen het toeval kunnen besturen.
Dit bleek mogelijk te zijn als men zich Speels (als een kind) opstelde.
Willen en Moeten werkt niet.
Het is vergelijkbaar met de “Eenvoudigen van Geest” in de bijbel en met Mindful.
Onderzoek naar Genezing geeft dezelfde uitkomsten.
Mindful: In het Nu zijn
Volgens de huidige inzichten in de natuurkunde is onze werkelijk v.wb. de tijd symetrisch.
Dat betekent dat het Nu een kruispunt is tussen twee golven n.l. die vanuit het Verleden en de Toekomst.
Quantum Mechanica
De werkelijkheid wordt in de Quantum Mechanica beschreven met behulp van een Statistische blik.
Onze werkelijkheid wordt beschreven met behulp van een kansverdeling die tussen o-en-1 beweegt en door de Observator wordt gerealiseerd.
Dat betekent dat de werkelijkheid zich Realiseert in de Ervaring.
Model van Paths of Change is hier samengevat in zes z.g. Spellen die verbonden zijn aan een “archetypische” rol” zoals de Architect.
De belangrijkste rol voor deze blog is de Visionair die “Spirit” en “Collectief Bewustzijn verbindt.
Spirit is naam voor de “Heilige Geest” een “kracht” die mensen tot onmenselijke daden kan brengen maar ze ook “paranormale” krachten geeft als Levitatie en spontane Genezing ook van anderen.
Dergelijke krachten worden vaak opgeroepen bij “heftige Emoties” of een sterk “Geloof“.
Van belang hier is de relatie met de Euclidische Geometrie, de geometrie van het platte vlak of van het Grensvlak .
Paths of Change in de vorm van een ontwikkel-cyclus. Niet alle mogelijke paden worden aangewend.
De zwarte pijlen mogen best als richtingen (Omhoog, Omlaag,..) worden geïnterpreteerd.
3 Lagen
De mens opereert in 3 werelden.
Collaborative Learningcontains 3 connected Cycles connected in a Cycle. The )sub-cycles) operate in a Social Context, Mental Spaceand Physical Space. This model is an application of one level of Paths of Change (see Part 2 of this Blog).
Abstractie
Als je omhoog gaat (Abstractie) is er geen einde aan het aantal lagen.
Brug Geometrie <-> Sociologie
Het bijzondere vanhet Sociale Geometrie-model is dat er een direct bewijs is dat het past op een Relatie-model wat in iedere cultuur voorkomt en daarom laat zien hoe menden denken als ze uitgaan van hun relaties met anderen.
Action-Potential
Hierbij is de “groene” relatie verbonden met de emoties (het het “Actie Potentiaal” van Nico Frijda .
Die Potential veroorzaakt een “kromming” van de ruimte en een eerder beschrevenAnti-de-sitter-ruimte met een “wormhole” in het midden.

Evolutie middels Zes Tijdperken
De evolutie van de kosmos wordt in de pdf hier beneden afgebeeld in zes tijdperken.
De evolutie wordt voltooid in tijdperk 6, waarin het heelal “wakker wordt” vanwege verzadiging met informatie.
Overdracht kennis naar Nieuw Universum
Daarna wordt deze Finale Informatie, in een geordende vorm, overgedragen aan een volgende versie van het universum (‘rebound universes’).
De melding van zo’n volgende fase (“de 43ste stap, Sri-Yantra) kwam (volgens mij) rond 2000 langs.
Het plaatje hierboven met als titel The six epoche of evolution gaat uit van de ontwikkeling van het Universum op basis van onze indeling van de wetenschappen waarbij de “onderste” laag Natuurkunde daarna Biologie en de Neurologie dan de IT-Techniek en de fusie van Techniek en Mens.
Machine
Opvallend is dat Peter Rowlands en zijn groep de 4e stap al op de eerste stap zetten n.l. bij de schepping.
Het universum is een computer die zijn operating systeem steeds herschrijft op basis van het overschrijden van de conditie dat de som nul moet zijn. Dat staat eigenlijk voor evenwicht.
Slinger
Het plaatje hieronder komt uit een onderzoek naar een toepassing van de Kosmische Slinger (of JKlok) van Walter Russell, een model wat hem in een visioen is aangeboden.
De slinger, eigenlijk een cosmische klok lijkt er veel op de computer van Rowlands.
Quaternions
De klok of machine draait steeds hetzelfde rondje met een andere stap in de ontwikkeling. Dat lijkt op een spiraal.
In theorie zijn er zeven slagen omhoog mogelijk. Naarmate men verder van de basis afraakt komt er een steeds sterkere onbalans. Deze onbalans verstrekt de kracht omlaag.
Fasen-indeling
In deze blog zijn we een paar “nieuwe” fase-indelingen tegengekomen bijv.
De echte innovatie komt niet uit de Natuurkunde maar uit de Biologie.
Ons Lichaam is een Collectief van 1-celligen die samen een Electro-Magnetisch Veld vormen wat de Collectieve Vorm bepaalt.
Onder dit veld ligt het Nulpuntsveld wat een meer-dimensionaal communicatie-systeem vormt waarbij hele kleine zwarte-witte gaten een rol spelen.
Natuurkunde
De vorige blog (geschreven in het engels) eindigde met deze conclusie:
“Our reality is dependent on our Belief of its existence.
Our belief arises out of our Memory that is fed by our Experiences and he companions in life we belief”
“We live in two Universes that are divided by the vacuum.
In the Universe of the Light we are awake and in the other we are Asleep“.
The Universes are instable .
They are recreating themselves based on an Algorithm that reacts on Nilpotency.
They are constantly tuned by the Music of the Spheres of the Center.
It is constantly recreated with a Planck-frequency , keeps the sum of iets energy-up-and-downs always zero and generates a new operating-system that varies on a theme that is based on opposits.
Inmiddels weet ik weer veel meer dankzij Michael Levin.
Collectieven van 1-celligen Vormen een Morphologische Veld
Michael Levin: laat zien dat een organisme bestaat uit een collectief van 1-celligen die vaak weer uit een collectief vormen.
De 1-celligen vormen samen een Electro-Magnetisch veld vwat bepalend is voor de vorm.
Dat was al eerder ontdekt door Michael Persinger die de uitvinder werd van de “god machine“).
Neuronen
Het lijkt erop alsof de “neuronen” in de hersenen overal aanwezig zijn tot in iedere cel. waardoor het “gepolariseerde” lichaams-netwerk zich gedraagt als een geprogrammerde computer.
Morphologisch Veld
Er is geen sprake is van “low-level programmering” middels het DNA maar van een Morphologisch—Veld net als Rupert Sheldrake al suggereerde .
Lading Gradient is een Subroutine
Volgens Michael Levin is Iedere cel is een batterij die gekoppeld is aan andere battrijen waardoor er een ladings gradiënt (een verdeling) ontstaat.
Die verdeling van lading (+ en -_ kan worden gezien als een verzameling 1-nen-en-nullen kortom een “statement” wat weer kan worden gezien als een subroutine van een programma dat vormen maakt.
Diep onder de eencelligen zit het Nulpuntsveld dat via de Zwarte-en Witte -punt (Planck)-Gaten energie transporteert wat de “behoefte” aan z.g. “zwarte materie” meer dan volledig opvult.
Hierbij koppelen gelijksoortigen aan gelijksoortigen.
Kanker ontstaat als een Cel het collectief verlaat
Kanker ontstaat als een cel het collectief verlaat.
Dat kan worden hersteld door de gradient (de PH?) te herstellen.
Identiteit: About Boundary of the Self. Zie PDF beneden.
Wanneer wordt een collectief weer een eenheid en ontneemt het individu de ruimte om te handelen?
Een uitgebreide Samenvatting van het werk van Michael Levin.
De vier views worden hier gerelateerd aan de Relatie-theorie van Alan Fiske, een Antropoloog.
Spanningsveld
Het spanningsveld Uniek<->Samen is het Spanningsveld van het Lichaam en van de Maatschappij.
Het Leven is een Spel
Het wordt opgelost door het leven als een Spel , de Infinite -Game“( te zien en op te houden met alles gelijk te maken, de valkuil van de Franse Revolutie.
In the current blog I show that consciousness is a Space that is situated outside our Space-Time probably in our Mirror-universe that lies behind the Wall of the Zero-point-field.
The Dirac Sea is a name for the Aether or the Vacuum that is a solution of the Dirac Equation were the vacuum contains “Negative energy particles” also interpreted as Anti-Matter or by Feymann as energy moving Back in Time.
The links connect to Chapters in this blog (or other blogs I have written).
Body and Mind
Body and Mind: It is easy to Fool the Mind into another Body.
Cells are often changed, many cells areBacteriaand some people remember PastLives.
Bodyfield
The Continuity of the Body is situated In the Bodyfield.
The bodyfield is an Electo-Magnetic-field created by the Heart and the other fields created by the cells in which the DNA acts as communicator with others cells inside and outside our body.
This blog contains many PDF’s and video’s that explain the torsion field.
Spiraling Spirals
It has a lot to do with the explanation of the group of John Rowlands that discovered that it is possible to rewrite all the formula of physics into a NilpotentMachine that Rewrites its own Operating system when the sum of all the Potentials is>0.
The sytem can be desribed by the Octionions, a Abstraction of an Imaginary number that is a rotation.
The Universe is aRotating, Rotator, a Spiraling Spiral.
Maps of Consciousness
This blog is a translation in English of my blog about the Maps of Consciousness.
This blog is the result of the analysis of my own experience with “paranormal states”) combined with the experience of thousands of others that literally fell into another Universe.
These people were artists, mystics, meditators and casualties in major accidents.
Nonduality
Non-duality is the effect when you want to Fuse a concept with its opposite and don’t use old fashoned logic.
In this case the effect is the empty-set or a contradiction.
According to many people that experience a state of enlightenment the experience the whole is being One and Many.
The Map of William Blake is a very special Map that was te result of a highly talented poet, painter and philosopher who lived at the end of Romance in the UK.
The book the Selection Effect is an account of his fascination with Quantum Number Generators (REGs) and of his serious attempts in succesfully influencing them.
He finds that he can indeed, but his influence evaporates as soon as the Playful element disappears from his efforts and he becomes too serious in his attempts.
Body and Mind are loosely Coupled
The Brain Communicates Through the Wormhole
, We envision a ScaleIinvariant information processing, operating through a Toroidal Wormhole mediated Information Flux.
This implies an Intrinsic Cosmic connectivity that is Mirrored in the Human Brain.
Blake defines the „world of Imagination as that „into which we shall all go after the Death of the Vegetated body‟.
Blake wanted to Restore the Golden Age.
He believed that an artist will experience a personal „Last Judgment‟ , a moment of Imaginative Clarity.
He believed that artists like Shakespear and Michel Angelo experienced such a moment.
Analyzing “inspired” art could show him the Golden Age.
Duality
Classical Physics is nature seen from the Eye of God.
In the world of Blake everything has an Opposite that unites in a higher Abstraction or is Impossible.
Emmanuel Swedenborg
Again a person who made use of OBE to explore the inside world.
Inner Roadmaps: With a controlled OBE you can travel Deep in the Mind
In my last blogs all written in Dutch I tried to find out more about Consciousness and detected Robert Monroe’s maps of the deeper layers we can reach with a controlled OBE (Out of the Body Experience).
I also discovered Owen Barfield the center of the UK intellectuals around 1900 who called themselves the Inklings.
Maps of SpaceTime
TimeMap of Conscious Soul of Owen Barfield and Rudolf Steiner with 1889 as Tipping Point
TimeMap of Mikhael Bahktin with a period of a new Religion and a new Myth
-550-2200 frquency 250 years = 5×50.
Mikhael Bhaktin made a map of history based on genres.We are moving into a new stage of Myth based on Joseph Campbell’s Meta Myth the new Myth is Star Wars and Space Oddessey of Stanley Kubrick.
It is constandly recreated with a Planck-frequency , keeps the sum of iets energy-up-and-downs always zero and generates a new operating-system that varies on a theme that is based on opposits.
Every old theme comes back with a different “outside” that gives the people who only look the idea that we are changing and evolving all the time.
We are highly dependent on creative people who feel what the others experience as beautiful.
The universe is Scale free (Fractal) which means that the structure at the Planck-scale being a small black-hole called a Bindu in ancient India is recreating itself all the time where a new tiny universe is created at the output-side of the blackhole (white-hole).
As you can see Dirk Meijer and his companions has created a tremendous amount of publications.
I am reading them all and wil try to summarize them as soon as possible and formulate a research-question for the next blog written in Dutch (with English links);
Samenspel is een Hyperbolic Geometry by M.C.Escher. De horizon zit in de rand.
Deze blog is een vervolg op mijn blog over Sport waarin een PoC-model van de Sport is ontwikkeld.
Dat model wordt nu gebruikt om Samenspel te onderzoeken.
PoC betekent Paths of Change.
PoC is een metapraxis, een abstractie van de praktijk ontwikkeld aan de UCLA (University of Los Angeloes) door een groep wetenschappers o.l.v. Will McWhinney.
Samenspel is een spel met de Emoties die lijken op Golven van de zee en daarom prachtig passen in een Hyperbolische Geometrie die weer past bij het Perspectief van het onafhankelijke Standpunt.
Denken met het Lichaam: Embodiment:
George Lakoff deed onderzoek naar vertalen en ontdekte dat wij denken in metaforen.
Metaforen zijn afbeeldingen tussen twee Belevings-ruimten die als we klein zijn worden verbonden met delen van het lichaam.
De lichaams-metaforen zijn cultuur-onafhankelijk en laten bijv. zien waarom boven belangrijker is dan beneden of waarom vooruit belangrijker is dan achteruit.
Samen Bewegen en Bewogen worden:
Samen Dansen op een Ritme en samen Luisteren naar Nuziek verbindt mensen.
0. Introductie: Wat is Synchronisatie ? Gelijksoortige bewegende cyclische systemen gaan zich gelijk gedragen als ze communiceren.
Het geldt voor mensen maar ook voor vuurliegjes.
Mensen die zich samen concentreren op een onderwerp zoals een voetbalwedstrijd synchroniseren.
Synchronisatie is ook de oorzaak van ontploffende economische bubbels.
Het is een oud beproefd instrument om massa’s in een gewenste richting te bewegen. Hitler deed het, Poetin doet het en onze regering ook. Het wordt Nudgen (duwen met kleine duwtjes naar een gewenste situatie) genoemd.
2 Volgens bewegingswetenschapper Prof. Peter Beek werkt Impliciet leren veel beter dan gestructureerd leren bij het leren van Motorische vaardigheden. Het geldt ook voor het leren van andere vaardigheden maar dat wordt niet gedaan in Nederland. Wel in de VS.
Vitaliteit
3 Vitaliteit is een >4 Dimensioneel concept en een combinatie van Efficiency en Veerkracht.
Veerkracht ( samen met Verbondenheid (Communion) en Potentie (“Rijkdom”) is een variabele van het 4D Panarchie-model dat betrekking heeft op een Ecologie maar eigenlijk op ieder veranderproces.
Vandaar dat het perfect past op PoC.
Vitaliteit kwam naar voren als een voorbeeld van Anti-Fragility ,Systemen die voordeel hebben van Wanorde.
Dit concept is ontwikkeld door Nassim Taleb, die veel aandacht heeft gekregen met zijn boeken over de on-voorspelbaarheid van calamiteiten (Black Swans).
Hier vergat hij de Synchronisatie als verklaring mee te nemen.
Die synchronisatie was niet vergeten door Didier Sonnete.
4 De geometrie van het Samen Spelen begon met de Geometrie van de Menselijke Relaties van Alan Fiske.
Het samenspel blijkt een Hyperbolische geometrie te hebben, een Geometrie die Roger Penrose aan ons Cyclische Universum geeft en door Escher werd gebruikt om mooie zelf-refererende (fractale) tekeningen te maken.
Perspectief: Horizon, Stand-Punt en Denk-Raam:
Nadat we weten dat de emoties alles rond maken kunnen we m.b.v de Projectieve meetkunde laten zien door welke
“ramen” we kijken en de Horizon van ons weten beschouwen.
het Kosmische Pendulum van Walter Russell:
5 Walter Russell kreeg een visioen waarin hij zag dat het Universum op een Metronoom lijkt.
Conclusie
6. Conclusie Seth was een entiteit die werd gechanneld door Jane ~Roberts.
Seth heeft tientallen boeken gedicteerd die bij nader onderzoek de geometrie van het samenspel ondersteunen. Dat geeft hoop.
Samenspel is een spel van de emoties die zijn de uitingen van de vortexen in het lichaam die in India Chakra (“Wiel”) worden genoemd.
Volgens Seth sturen ze de werkelijkheid aan en dat gelooft Roger Penrose ook die inmiddels de Big Bang heeft ingeruild voor een cyclisch universum dat weer prachtig past op de metronoom van Walter Russell die weer prachtig past op het foton die zichzelf vernietigd om weer geboren te kunnen worden.
Licht
In den beginnen was het Licht en het is er nog steeds.
Het stuurt de creativteit die anderen de Heilige Geest noemen.
De Platonische vormen zijn het resultaat van het oplossen van de spanning die ontstaat als een bol wordt vervormd.
Christiaan Huigens ontdekte dat klokken die aan dezelfde muur hangen gelijk gaan tikken. Dat geldt ook voor mensen.
Alles wat communiceert, op elkaar lijkt en cyclisch beweegt gaat zich gelijk gedragen.
In 1975 bewees Charles Peskin dat zelfs ongelijke “tikkende” (“bewegende”) systemen synchroniseren.
Onze grootse klok (“de tijdgever”) is de zon. Die bepaalt erg veel aanpassing van ons lichaam en de natuur.Grote klokken bepalen kleine klokken (“overload”).
Deze video geeft een ervaring wat het betekent als een mens wordt opgenomen in een entrainment-omgeving zoals een stadion. Belangrijk zijn de ritmes en de bewegingen.
Dit werkt nog veel beter omdat hier een bepaalde frequentie wordt gedrumd die flow induceert. Dit is hetzelfde als een medicijnman doet in combinatie met gelijksoortige bewegingen.
Hier gebeurt hetzelfde met als effect dat de dansers volledig in trance gaan. Opvallend hier is dat ze ook nog is een simulatie laten zien van het universum waarin alles rondom alles draait.
Nataraja (Shiva) danst de wereld uit het niets. De vier handbewegingen corresponderen met de vier Worldviews van PoC.
Shiva danst op de onwetendheid in de vorm van een dwerg..Let op: de “blauwe” worldview die toont de Trommel van de Wereldklok. De rechter hand draagt het vuur van de passie. Terwijl de benen de Weerstand van de Emoties tonen in de vorm van de Olifant.
De gele hand van de Heilige Geest beschermt.
Een geprek is een uitwisseling van trillingen die gaan synchroniseren. Die synchronisatie werkt ook andersom wat betekent dat meerdere mensen (hier twee) zich gelijk gaan gedragen wat een gevoel van grote betrokkenheid geeft. Als je verliefd bent ben je vergrendelt in elkaars fase. In het Engels Entrained.
Brein Synchronisatie
Dedynamiek van de hersenen van de zender en de ontvanger in een gesprek zien er hetzelfde uit. Dat betekent dat ze 100% gesynchroniseerd zijn.
Het zelfde gebeurt bij een grote menigte die zijn aandacht op 1 punt heeft gezet, de wedstrijd. de mensen in het stadion gaan gelijke handelingen uitvoeren dus Samen Bewegen.
Een artiest en de zaal voelen als er sprake is van fasevergrendeling. De zaal wordt een beetje warmer en de akoestiek wordt beter. Het heeft ook te maken met de bewegingen van de dirigent als er sprake is van een muziekopvoering.
Rituelen zijn gemaakt om te Synchroniseren
Mensen hebben behoefte aan een omgeving waarin regelmatig fasevergrendeling plaatsvindt zoals een kerk.
Die verzamelen ze door te koppelen aan energie-zenders/ die deze energie verzamelen als ze alleen zijn. Groepen van zenders en ontvangers komen 1x per week bij elkaar en worden gestuurd door een ritueel waarin ze synchroniseren.
Het lichaam past zich aan aan het Gebruik van het Lichaam.
Het lichaam past zich aan aan het gebruik. Dat geldt ook voor de botten. Bij weinig gebruik “lossen ze op”.
Bewegings-Wetenschap:
De bewegingswetenschap houdt zich daar mee bezig en komt op onderwerpen die niet zo duidelijk zijn als we zelf bewegen maar ons in de weg zitten als we bijvoorbeeld met zijn twee-en proberen te lopen of een geestelijke (bv parkinson) of lichamelijke handicap hebben.
Random leren werkt veel beter op de lange termijn omdat men wat wordt geleerd niet vergeet (retentie).Als we naar retentie kijken werkt het huidige systeem helemaal niet. Alles wat wordt geleerd wordt vergeten.
Roger Schank omtdekte dat de emotie die gepaard gaat met het mislukken een hele hoge retentie oplevert m.b.t. de oplossingen die door echte experts of gefingeerde experts hele hoge retentie heeft. Het blijkt verder dat bepaalde denk- of doefouten altijd worden gemaakt voordat men bekwaam wordt.
Leren van de fouten.
Gestructureeerd opleiden werkt slechter dan random opleiden.
Lange termijn Visie Onderwijs
Roger Schank Institute for the Learning Sciences:
In 1998 werd ik tot mijn verbazing gevraagd door Hans Boom van het Ministerie van Onderwijs om een lange termijn visie te schrijven voor het Nederlandse Onderwijs.
k was toen net bij de ABN AMRO verdwenen waar ik me onder meer bezig mocht houden met nieuwe vormen van opleiding. Dit deden we samen met bijvoorbeeld Arthur Andersen (AA) en Cap Gemini (CG).
AA had zijn R%D in Chicago en CG in Parijs (Innovation).
In Chicago zat ook het Institute for the Learning Sciences waar Roger Schank net de directeur van was. Na de opdracht van Hans Boom heb ik Roger opgezocht in Chicago.
De theorie van Roger is simpel. Je leert van de fouten (“expectatation failures”) die je maakt of van de fouten van anderen. Roger bouwde Educational Games (“Simulators”) en de link was snel gelegd naar Lost Boys en een aantal andere innovatoren. tot mijn grote verbazing gingen heel veel partijen tegenwerken zoals TNO en Wolters Kluwer. Ik vergat het non-invented-here syndroom.
Leren = Samen Exploreren = Collaborative Learning:
Volgens hen is Leren is geprogrammeerd worden (Instructie) terwijl het eigenlijk exploreren is. .
Vitaliteit is een meerdimensioneel Spanningsveld : “healthy systems must maintain a Balance of Resilience factors (small, diverse, flexible & densely connected) and Efficiency factors (big, streamlined & powerful) within a Window of Vitality representing optimal network health”.
Vitaliteit = Veerkracht & Efficiency:
Cultuur: Nieuwe spellen maken door te blijven spelen:
Paths of Change gecombieerd in” Games” zijnde een combinatie van 2 wereldbeelden in totaal 6 of 12 combinaties bij heen-en-weer + rollen.
1 Rood-Blauw -> Analytic Game, heen-en-weer Spel van de Westerse Wetenschap (Analyse) en het Bedrijfsleven (Productie volgens regels (Instructie)..
2 Groen-Geel->heen-en-weer-Spel van de Cultuur. Het spel dat nieuwe spellen maakt en Nieuwe Ideen waardeert.
3 Groen-Blauw-> Spel van de Politiek (Wet<->Samenleving.Consensus bereiken over Regels en het communiceren van deze regels aan de samenleving
4 Geel-Rood-> Spel van Innovatie (Idee<->Actie).
Panarchie beschrijft de Cyclus van een Ecologie en van een Mens:
want de mens zelf is een ecologie die bestaat uit heel veel cellen en eencelligen die samen werken om het geheel in balans te houden in de “hogere” ecologie die ook weer deel uitmsskt vsn een ecologie etc.
Panarchy-model waarin drie gekoppelde lagen worden getoond. Het kunnen er veel meer zijn.
Panarchie-model bestaat uit twee cirkels die met- en tegen de klok draaien en lijken op een Moebius-ring(8)..
Combineren Vitaliteit & Panarchie in 1 model
middels het afbeelden op PoC:
In dit plaatje wordt de theorie van Panarchie (rechtsonder) getoond als een snijpunt van twee lijnen die twee dualiteiten doorsnijden.
De dualiteten zijn gelijk vs ongelijk en Onafhankelijk vs Afhankelijk.
Het Ritme van de blauwe kant induceert de entrainment aan de rechterkant die zich toont als de top van een golf (“trend”, “bubbel” die de rode kant op de top van zijn “waarde” brengt die betrekking heeft op de “gemeten” waarde bijv. in de vorm van een koers.
Ondertussen zijn aan de “groene” kant alle hulpbronnen opgebruikt en start er een “wetgevend” proces aan de blauwe (overheid) kant die uiteindelijk de “creatieve” mensen (geel) om een idee vraagt om de “crisis” op te lossen.
Besef dat er in feite geen crisis is maar een “ervaren” crisis veroorzaakt door een verkeerd meetsysteem.
Cyclus:
1.Innovatie veroorzaakt door ongelijke (“creatieve”) geesten resulteert in verhoogde activiteit die wordt versterkt door het door het gelijke veroorzaakte synchronisatie (Bubble, Hype)
2. De waarde wordt verdeeld over het sociale netwerk totdat de waarde op is (uitputting).
Het gebruik van de innovatie wordt omgezet in kennis. die wordt omgezt in inzicht en de cyclus start opnieuw.
4D-model: Panarchie:
4D Model van een Ecologie middels Panarchy theorie gerelateerd aan PoC. Hierin zijn drie variabelen zichtbaar n.l. Verbondenheid (Communiën), Potential (Agency) en Veerkracht(Resilience).
Samenvatting Innovatie-Cyclus:
Durzame innovatie cyclus. Hetzelfde plaatje als boven maar compact en geprojecteerd in de stad van Plato. In het centrum de Levensboom. In het plaatje de 4 processen die van belang zijn waarbij rechts Ma-at als godin van de Maat.
Laat de maatschappij de waarde van de Industrie beoordelen door de producten te gebruiken.
Het gebruik rwordt omgezet in kennis (Gebruiksregels) die indien nodig weer kan worden opgestart maar veel beter
laat de mensen die anders zijn een idee formuleren hoe het beter kan en start weer opnieuw.
Ma at en Thot: De Boom des Levens
bestaat uit vele vertakkingen.
Ma at en Thot laten de Boom des Levens (Ished) in Heliopolis groeien. De boom bevat het nest van de bennu-vogel, de Phoenix (Vuurvogel). Het vuur is de Levens-energie.
4 de Geometrie van de Menselijke Relaties
De vier geometrien komen uit het onderzoek van de antropoloog Alan Fiske naar veel voorkomende relatiepatronen op de wereld
Ze stemmen overeen met PoC waardoor het mogelijk is om een geometrie van de sport te maken.Gekromde lijnen in de vorm van een vortex zijn de snijdende lijnen van vele Points of View in een gekromde ruimte..
Relatiemodel Alan Fiske:
De relatie met de vier Perspectieven van PoC is aangegeven middels 4 kleuren.
De relatiemodellen zijn ook of eigenlijk (meet)schalen:
Meten is het tranformeren van een Waarneming met de Zintuigen naar de Ordening van het Denken.
Een relatie berust op een vergelijking van de meting van de verhouding tussen twee personen.
Alan Fiskes Model past op de Meet-schalen waarbij Market pricing een Ratio Schaal is die past op de Euclidische meetkunde. Dat betekent dat alles wordt gemeten met dezelfde Maatstok.
Communal Sharing staat voor de Nominal Scale is een opsomming, lijst zonder ordening.
De cyclus.is gelijk aan de Innovatie cyclus zie boven.
De relaties als meetschalen van Alan Fiske. Voorbeelden van Schalen waarbij Groen een Verzameling , blauw een rangordening, geel een verschil en rood een verhouding is.
Nominale schaal -> Communal Sharing:
De onderdelen van de schaal kunnen in iedere willekeurige volgorde worden getoond (Permutatie).
De deelnemers van een CS zijn voor elkaar inzetbaar en inhoudelijk vervangbaar (“functional redundant”).
Een CS is agile (flexibel) omdat iedere structuur via andere combinaties mogelijk is. CS is de basisvorm van de community.
Wiskundig staat de nominale schaal voor het behoud van de identiteit ( s1=s2 ⇔ f(s1) = f(s2), de permutatie groep).
Sportmodel en Geometrie:
Blauw: Authority Ranking (AR) is een Rangorde waarbij de vraag moet worden beantwoord wat groter betekent. Het gaat om Hoger en Lager.
Geel: Equality Matching (EM): De objecten lijken op elkaar maar zijn niet gelijk. Een voorbeeld zijn de n-hoeken.Het gaat om Meer-en Minder.
Rood: MP: Marketpricing Wedstrijd. de Euclidische geometrie gaat om meten met een standaard-meter.Het gaat om afstand. en verhoudingen.
Groen CS: Samenspelen Community Sharing-” Projectieve Geometrie verbinden van lijnen door gedeelde punten.
Wit: Vitaliteit: Speelveld Iedereen is gelijk, het Absoluut Nulpunt.
Linguist Stephen Pinker provides a good overview of three of Fiske’s Relational Models (Dominance = AR, Communal = CS, Reciprocity = EM) in this brief video.
De schilder kijkt vanuit een vlakke wereld met zijn oog door een gat naar een gebogen wereld waarbij een deel van de gebogen wereld verborgen is en er 1 punt is waarbij de rechte lijn van de kijker de bol raakt.De verhouding tussen twee verschillende Standpunten gericht op het zelfde Object worden beschreven met behulp van de z.g. Cross-Ratio
Het belangrijkste verschil tussen Euclidische en niet-Euclidische geometrie is dat de eerste een nulpunt heeft.
De (Euclidische) ruimte van de Zintuigen is Plat:
De euclidische meetkunde is de meetkunde van onze werkelijkheid. Ze is 3d maar eigenlijk plat.
We projecteren alles op een plat scherm dat wordt omgeven met een Rand.
De Ruimte van de Emoties is Gebogen (Naar binnen en naar buiten (Up-&-Down)):
De projectieve meetkunde van de emoties en van het samenspel is een gekromde ruimte waarbij de kromming alle kanten op kan gaan.
Volgens Einstein is ons universum gekromd door de zwaartekracht maar het wil niet zeggen dat de ruimte overal gekromd is.
Soms is er helemaal geen massa of is de massa een lichtgolf, die het beste is voor te stellen als lijn die ons oog als ontvanger verbindt met een lichtpunt.
Dat kun je zien in de vergelijking van twee Energie formules n.l. die van Einstein (E=mc**2) en die van Max Planck E=hf waarbij f de frequentie van het licht is.
Volgens Roger Penrose is het Universum plat en kunnen we het beste voorstellen dat we leven op de binnenkant van een enorm grote bol, die daardoor vrijwel vlak lijkt.
Volgens Penrose is Het universum een eindeloze cyclus van Universums die expandeert en implodeert.
Dat stemt overeen met de hele oude Cosmologische theorie uit India.
De Ruimte van Panarchie is de Ruimte van PoC
Volgens Penrose ziet het universum het resultaat van een z.g. conformal (Hoek-behoudende) afbeelding waarbij de horizon (de rand) een vrijwel oneindige verkleining is van het geheel en het geheel op een platte ruimte lijkt.
De tekening van Escher is daar een goed voorbeeld van. Het plaatje in het centrum transformeert zonder dat de hoeken veranderen in een eindeloos kleine rand.
Een verzameling lijnen met punten, een projectieve ruimte is eigenlijk ook een verzameling hoeken en afhankelijk van de kromming wordt het plaatje steeds vager “smooth”).
De Adaptieve Cyclus:
Een video over de “adaptive cycle van panarchy.
De geschiedenis van Panarchy door de ontdekker Holling.
de Geometrie van Panarchy
De geometrie van Panarchie is de geometrie van PoC en kan worden afgebeeld op het model van Fiske.
Hier een visualisatie waarbij de “mens” wordt voogesteld als een balletje:
De verschillende vlakke en ronde ruimtes in het model van Panarchy gezien vanuit de belevingswereld van een bal.
In een vlakke ruimte kan de bal alle kanten op terwijl de bal in een gebogen wereld vast kan komen te zitten tussen twee heuvels in een dal.
De plaatjes zijn een 2D-metafoor van een N-dimensionale wereld.
Het basis-model van Panarchie is PoC.
De vier stappen of fasen kom je overal tegen.
Levensloop-begeleiding.
Dit model komt uit een regionaal project om de ‘Leide regio Vitaal te maken.
De levensloop van de mens begint en eindigt met een Samenspel tussen zorger (Ouder) en verzorgde (Kind, Bejaarde).
de Levensloop is een Fractal:
Motorische ontwikkeling kind. Een voorbeeld van een cyclus in een cyclus. Dit kan eindeloos doorgaan zowel omhoog als omlaag naar het kleinste van het kleinste de proton.
het Atletiek Training model start bij de Geboorte en eindigt bij de Dood:
De Geometrie van Panarchie is die van PoC en dus van het Sportmodel:
Het enige wat je moet doen is de namen van concepten vertalen en een andere naam geven.
De samenhang blijft steeds hetzelfde tot op het kleinste nivo van natuurkunde, het Quantumgebied wat in het Sportmodel op het nivo van het Speelveld zit.
Meer info over Panarchie
2D-model Panarchie en PoC
3D Model Panarchie en Poc..
Het Basis-model van Panarchy en van PoC is een Quaternion )Vierhoek)
Onderstaande quaternion over de Natuur die is gebruikt om de theorie van Panarchie vorm te geven.
Boven de beschrijving zie je onder de kleur van de Poc-zienswijze de basis-ruimte waarbij het duidelijk wordt dat het samenspel een ronde ruimte is met de bal boven en het tegendeel van het spel een ronde ruimte is met de bal in het dal.
De ene zit vast en de ander valt bijna.
Standpunt, Horizon, Denk-Raam en Draag-vlak
Een schap is een Plank (een 2D-model) waarop we wat we weten netjes neerzetten en waarbij de Horizon de grens is van het nu onbereikbare.
Schap is Scape in het Engels en de termen Landschap en vriendschap bestaan daar ook waarbij schap soms ship wordt en ook een drijvende plank betekent.
We beschouwen onze buitenwereld door een vierkant Raam (Kader) of tekenen een model op een Vierkant papier.
Het geheel zit tegen het kader aan of zit er zelfs in. kader
Het zijn allemaal 2D vierkanten die soms worden gedragen (staan op) of liggen.
Het punt als sijpunt van lijnen komt ook voor.
Een standpunt is een manier om tegen een betoog aan te kijken,
In 2003 heb ik het Architectuur-congres over dit onderwerp een presentatie gegeven. Het ging vooral over het effect van abstraheren.
Abstraheren heeft als grote probleem dat je moeilijk terug kunt.
Je verliest daardoor de ondergrond waar we eigenlijk met onze voeten op moeten staan.
Plaatje uit de presentatie waarin de invloed van abstractie op het denken wordt getoond waardoor de Territory the Map wordt en we dus de relatie met de werkelijkheid volledig verliezen.
De Amerikaanse Architect Walter Russell kreeg een visioen waarin hem werd uitgelegd dat het Universum een Metronoom is.
Wij tikken als mens met deze grote metronoom mee
Dat bekent dat we als we contacht krijgen met de schepper last krijgen van overload.
De metronoom van Walter Russell.
Het PoC van het model van Walter Russell. De slinger van de metronoom beweegt tussen Desire en Control en krijgt een “zet” van het Potential van de Emoties. De “slinger” vindt zijn rustpunt in de Schepper.
De slinger beweegt heen (expansie) en weer (contractie).De emoties bouwen een Actie Potentieel op wat zich als Impuls ontlaadt.

Een citaat: ““You usually think, for example, that your feelings about a given event are primarily reactions to the event itself. It seldom occurs to you that the feelings themselves might be primary, and that the particular event was somehow a response to your emotions, rather than the other way around“.

New Research: What do all the Organisms Share?
My re-search became a search for the relationship between the Human Cognitive system, its Evolutionary Development as an Organism and the State of ArtificialIntelligence ending in an Insight that our Semantic intelligence has a Chemical origin.
For a Quick Start and a Summary push this link or start with the Introduction .
This blog starts with Physics moves over to Chemistry and Ends with (Evolutionary)Biology.
In between I discover many other Fusions with Biology like Bio-Physics and even Bio-mathematics.
Where Stuff is Made Off
Stuff (Matter) is made of Light (Photons) that moves in Spiralling Spiral motion just as Peter Rowlands explains.
What is Light?
Mass = Light.
In this very difficult talk you will see that all the different theories in Physics and all the different Forces are really the same and related to different Ways to see the same Universe
~Te essence is Duality fused into Nothing.
Martin died a few years ago. Below the comment on this talk many years later by his fellow scientists.
and a summary of all this a few years ago.
Light is two Inteacting Fields Electric and Magnetic moving through Space.
When we look with our Multi-dimensional Worlview we see every dimension (Magnitude, Point, Line, Square, Volume, .. shows Another type of Particle.

Thermodynamics, the Sience of Heat
Natural processes are irriversible just as we are always moving into the future until we realize that natural laws are not laws at all but Context dependentObservations that can be changed when we change the context.
The Earth
The Russian scientist Wladimir Vernadsky divided the earth in 3 spheres called the (1) the Abiotic sphere – all the non-living energy and material processes (2) the Biosphere – the life processes that live within the abiotic sphere and theNoosphere– the sphere of the human cognitive processes.
The Earth as a Water Cycle

Our Chemical Origin
Chemical Bodily Communicators: Hormones
Our Emotions and our Personal Chemistry is controlled by ourHormones.
The endocrine system works in large part by acting on neurons in the brain, which controls the PituitaryGland. This system is very important for the activation and control of basic behavioral activities.
Hormones are specialized ChemicalMessengers that operate with different (Minutes, Days, even Years) Frequencies on a general Bodily level using the Blood flow controlled by the Heart but also on a Cell-to-Cell and an InternalCell level.
They show an AncientFractal Pattern of Uni-ellular Integration.
This pattern repeats in human-to-human SocialStructures and is visible in and between our our Cities and States.
Want to know more about Uni-ellular Integration? Pushthis link.
A Path of Change (PoC) model of self-Actualizing City that is an Ecology that grows out of the combined effort of Four different expanding and compressing Forces (look at the four Colors) that act as a 4D Wave. The Set point constitutes the base-line of well-being.
Paths of Change uses four independent WorldViews with a fifth center.
The model behind PoC can be found in many theories including the Learning theory of Kolb. On this picture you see two cycles that move with-and against the clock.
The Endocrine System
The body is a system that is almost in balance (Homeostasis) controlled by chemical messengers that start and inhibit other messengers that do the same with the others.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is is not able to React to unknown Situations. It has to be programmed by Intelligent Humans.
The most advanced AI-tool AlphaGo-Zero needs data gathered by humans to Analyze and supposes a Game to win.
AI-systems need Humans to adapt.
Human Heuristics are much smarter than AI-systems.
Wisdom is and Heuristics are an Accumulated Reflection on Experience.
0. Introduction
In this blog I analyze the human Cognitive Architecture and its relationship with the architecture of our fellow-Organisms including the bacteria and viruses.
Bacterium
The Hydra has a Distributed brain, the Salamander a Centralized brain.
The spine is developed out of the notocord that came out of he axocord that was used to Swim.
The marine worm Platynereis has a muscle (red) which develops in the same place and has the same genetic signature as the notochord (blue) that develops into our spinal discs.
The small worm has eyes and other sensors that makes it possible to move in a 4D-frame.
Just as the bacteria the rotators are a integral part of the total cycle.
Trichoplax adhaerens is a species of placozoa, the simplest animals at the base of the tree of life.
Unbounded vs Bounded vs Ecological Rationality
I also relate the human Cognitive architecture to the architecture of Artificial Inteligence, a result of Bounded Rationality , a theory of Herbert Simon that recently was taken over by the HumanBias of Daniel Kahneman and more recently by Ecological Rationality of Gerd Gigenrenzer also called Heuristics.
Heuristics are the “positive” part of the Human Bias, a problem we encounter when we are put under Stress or don’t have enough Time to Reflect.
Gerd Gigerenzer and Nassim Taleb about why Complex systems Fail and Experts are not always Experts. About Taking Risk with Insight.
Organisms
Small Systems are just as Smart as Big Systems
The Law of Kleiber shows a relationship between the Metabolism(“Chemical Energy“) of an Organism and its Mass. The law holds for the Smallest (UniCellular) and the Biggest organisms and is even applicable to much bigger Organisations like Cities. Intelligence is independent from the Size of an Organism or Big Systems are not more Intelligent than Small Systems.
Organisms are Chemical Factories
After cooling The Earth became a “giant Chemical reactor” that was able to Catch life that was part of CollidingMeteorites.
The Way ElectronsRotate around anti-electrons (protons, Kernel) in more ComplexElements looks a lot like Organisms just as very Big Far away structures look a lot like very small Close by structures .
Our Universe is a highly Self-referencing (Fractal) structure.
Life is an Autocatalytic Chemical Reaction
Life is an Autocatalytic Chemical Reaction, a Loop in which an Activator produces its own inhibitor.
Example of an Activator/Inhibitor System.
An Activator/Inhibitor-System in Practice with the Slime Mold.Interesting is (1) Reuse of just one chemical AMP Adinine Mono Phosphate) as a Trigger to start clustering , (2) Synchronizationand Repeating an old Pattern (“Growing into a Plant“). AMP is the simple form of ATP part of the Krebs-cycle.
Organisms are Moving Memories
Organisms are Moving Memoriesexploring their environment to satisfy their need for the Energy (chemicals) they need to Survive.
An Organism is its Emotion
To stay in de right place they move to the place their E-mover (“flagellum”) sends them to.
The Bodyplan of the Bacterium with the Memory in the middle and the Brain, A receptor at the Front. The place of the Memory is also the place of the Heart of the Human.
The Heart contains the Memory of the Body
In Ancient Religion the Heart was the Seat of the Soul.
The Brain in the Head is a Sensor. Its Memory is Distributed all over the Body in theSpindles of the Muscles and the Heart.
The Bodyplan of the bacterium can be seen in all the organisms including Humans.
In between a Sensor and Mover a short term Memory is created out of the molecules we take in at the Front.
A Human is a Higher Order Embedding of a Bacterium
The difference between the bacterium and us is calledHigher Order Embedding meaning the same principle is applied to Itself, creating a Hierarchy.
Creating a Hiearchy is a proces Without an End. That’s why our Living Context was transformed into a Infinite space Above us with an infinite Power that controls it. This resulted in many Stories that turned into Myths.
If you want to start now with the blog push here or first read about Scientific Narratives.
Scientific Narratives and the Meta-Myth
This hierarchy is really a very complicated Dynamic Networkthat contains many sub-structures {“Semantic” “Chemical“, “Ecological“, “Social“,and other types of Networks) we have Named (Categorized) using a Principle that was in Tune with the Spirit of the Time.
This resulted in a lot of Scientific Narratives that turned into Scientific Myths that are summarized by Joseph Campbell (a follower of Carl Jung) in the Hero Quest that starts with a Call to Adventure (a Vocation).
The Quest of Mankind
Scientific Narratives claim to be based on a Truth not realising that this truth is also a Belief.
Currenty especially Physics (“Big Bang“) and Biology (Evolution) is discovering that the Myth of Creation blocks us to see how Simple Life and the Universe really is.
My first Mentor was a director of ABN (Harry Haenen). My last mentor was Will McWhinney.
My Gift of the Goddess was the Discovery of the Coming of The Golden Age.
The Age of Aquarius
The hero’s Quest is an old Cyclic model that was projected on the Zodiac.
The very longterm Precession cycle is moving Against the Clock of the yearly Sun Cycle meaning the we are now at the Start of New long term cycle meaning a new Call to Adventurefor Mankind.
FRom Dualism to Holism
An Astronomical Age takes 26000 years.
We are ending the Age of the Fish (Pisces) and are moving into the Age of Aquarius.
Pisces is the time of Duality, the battle about Good and Bad.
the Age of Aquarius heralds the arrival of a new stage of the kondratiev cycle, the Golden Age.
Aquarius opens a Vessel with Water that brings the Fish to the Milkey Way. Left you can see the Arrows of Sagittarius that precedes Aquarius. Water is the symbol of the Aether. (and other Flow Systems).
The cycle of the Zodiac.
What are Heuristics?
When I was re-searching for ny blog about Heuristics I found the thesis of Sheldon J. Chow, called “Heuristics, Concepts, and Cognitive Architecture: Toward Understanding How The Mind Works”
“Heuristics are cognitive procedures that satisfice, and that require little cognitive resources for their recruitment and execution; they operate by exploiting informational structures, called Perceptual SymbolSystems (PSS).
Exploiting Perceptual Symbol Systems
Concepts are highly organized collections of linguistically coded perceptual information.
Our Cognition looks lke a Video-recorder connected to our real Emotions and Bodily-processes that are retrieved when certain concepts (Anchors) or Situations are recalled.
Concepts are Simulators that embody Perceptual symbols that are collections of neurons that are activated in the perceptual centres of the Brain.
What we can Imagine Exists
Brouwer: Mathematics is a product of the Imagination. What we can Imagine exists. See also Where mathematics comes from by George Lakoff who discovered the foundation of language being embodied methaphors who are 1-1 (Isomophic) Mappings from the Outside sensed world to the Inside bodily awareness.
Mathematical Language is a “Normal” language
An Assertion (If Condition (Boolean) =True do Action A or Action B) is called a Judgement that is Witnessed by a Fact (Evaluate Condition) that turns the Assertion into an Action. When we move to Space assertions become Points.
Martin Lof Type Theory describes Mathematical Language
Martin Lof Type theory is the definition of a programming language that makes it possible to program mathematical reasoning to support mathematical Proof checking.
About Type theory, the foundation of Mathematics.
Intuitional Mathenatics became the foundation of HomotopyType theory that became the Foundation of Mathematics by the work of Martin Lof who started a discussion about what “Judgement” really is. This i a very long Video about the research of Martin Lof into the history of the term Judgement.
Perceptual states arise in the Sensory-Motor system
Perceptual states arise in the Sensory-Motor system.A subset of the state is extracted by selective Attention and stored in long-term memory.
This perceptual memory can function as a symbol entering into symbol manipulation.Collections of the perceptual symbols comprise our conceptual representations.
The structure of a perceptual symbol corresponds (at least somewhat) to the perceptual state that produced it.A Conceptual Model of a Perceptual Symbol System being a part of the PDF below.
An example of establishing an initial frame for car after processing a first instance. (B) The frame’s evolution after processing a second instance. (C) Constructing a simulation of the second instance…
Relevance Theory And the Frame Problem
The Thesis contains a reference to two for me interesting and highly interrelated Philosophical Questions called the Frame – and the Relevance problem which is about determining what is and is not relevant in our cognitive processing or What do we Know when we Sense a Situation.

Summary
Short description of the content of the Chapters:
Reason: This blog is the result of the Reserch i did for my blog about Heuristics.
During this research I found a Thesis that contained a lot of Interesting links.
Thermodynamics One of these links was a presentatation about Thermodynamics (the science of Heat) I was looking for that proved that the laws of physics are not “Eternal” laws but Context Dependent Observations. The same Vision as the American Pragmatists (Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey) around 1840 had.
0. Introduction An old blog about bacteria brought me back on the path of Paths of Change but with the re-introduction of the Quaternio of Carl Jung.
A Video with Gerd Gigenrenzer and Nassim Taleb about Heuristics and Risk Taking.
In this blog I compare the human Cognitive Architecture with the Architecture of Organisms.
You will see that Bacteria are Controlled by an(1) Chemical AutocatalyticCycle that contains a (2):Head that is used as a Sensor, 3):a Heart in the Middle that operates as a Memory and (4): a Tail that functions as a Motor.
This blog started as a follow-up on my blog about Heuristics.
I found a thesis explaining Heuristics with the concept of Perceptual Symbol Systems being hierarchical Semantic Models linked into a Semantic Network, (SM) being a Meta SM.
The personal Semantic network not only contains Perceptual symbols but also Emotions, Patterns, and Intuitions, being Wisdom Gathered in many generations and transmitted by the epi-genes of the mother and the father.
They comunicate internally and externally with many voices .
We not only communicate with sounds (words) but ook with movements (Eye), chemicals and EM-fields (“Bodyfield“). .
We are many personalities that react in a diffrent way and start an Internal dialogue.
Our personalities expect that the sender is providing meaning compressed in their Points of View.
People that have only one Point of View are disconnected because every View is Independent (Making an angle of 90 degrees) from all the others.
Normal communication takes two Complemenatary views into account.
Because of this RT, IP, MB,PoC are a Quaternion(Fourfold), a concept invented by Carl Jung who found the concept in ancient Mystics and ancient Egyptian, Indian and Chinese Theory including Alchemy.
What are Anticipatory Systems? , To be an anticipatory system it has to contain a model of the outside world.
Life is an expanding system in which all te possibilties of a very basic simple model are created until the basic model innovates itself.
This chapter is really the end of this blog because it shows that the basic model of life is Activation and Inhibition being a Duality. The duality is compatible with Movement being Distance divided by Time.
Rodney Cotterill was 20 years ago far ahead of his Colleaques.
The last part of this blog contains many highly abstract (Bounded?) subjects that show what’s wrong with current (bio-)Science.
Gategory Theory: Is it possible to define theories as Functions?
About the Gategory Theory of Networks.
A Petri-net was a Chemical Ttheory about Reaction-networks and was reused as a tool to define Software-programs and second order Differential Equations.
Is it possible to Map more “Knowledge fields”into other Knowledge-fields?
Erwin Schrödinger one of the Inventors of Quantum Mechanics (QM) wrote a book called What is Life.
QM can be applied at the very small level of the Cell. Ik can be shown that Photo-Sysynthesis in the Plant but also the detection of chemicals by the Nose can be explained with the same principle.
This part contains many interesting video’s and PDF’s.
1. Interpersonal Theory is an example of a Quaternio
Two levels of Expansion and Compression linked to 7 essential Questions of an Individual in the Center.Paths of Change (PoC) is a Scale Free (fractal) theory of Change developed by Will McWhinney. PoC is an example of what Carl Jung called a Quaternio (a Fourfold).
Every Combination of two Points of View generates a Question (6).
Every Dual combination of points-of-view is a Game
A Quaternio contains four concepts that all have a complementary relation.
So are the senses, looking outside connected with the imagination, looking inside connected by the process Invent or Explore.
You can also play with dualism (2), the distinction )1) Zero 0) or nothing (∅).
Relevance theory is devoped to explain the Evolution of the human Cognitive system and human intelligence. It is also used to create artificial intelligence.
Relevance theory has a lot in common with Interpersonal theory and the theories of Bahktin about the Utterance or the internal and external Dialogue we take part in.
Interpersonal theory assumes that humans expect meaningful information from other humans and from the humans that are inside. We are always in a dialogue.
It also assumes that a mental illness can be explained by a connection-problem. It is all about the Tension between Agency and Communion.Interpersonal Circumplex. The interpersonal circumplex is defined by two orthogonal axes. In recent years, it has become conventional to identify the vertical and horizontal axes with the broad constructs of agency and communion.
Human interaction can be modelled with two orthogonal (90 degree angles)variables that were also called yin (communion) and yang Agency) or o en 1 or just yin and not yin. The four 90 degree angles support a 4 dimensional Universe of Discoursethat contains rotating rotations being Spirals.
Humans learn when an Expectation is violated. This happens when an External or Internal Event takes place.
The event is evaluated by the Emotions and (when there is enough time (and interest and energy) Reflected upon by the Imagination and Abstracted (moved Up) into a Model (frame, scape)that is again Instructed and or Tested.
The Learning cycle moves with and against the Clock and also moves through the diagonal between Belief and and the Prove of Belief and Dependence and in-dependence.This picture describes the model of Nico Frijda about the Emotions: the readiness (or unreadiness) to enter into contact or interaction with some object, and the mode of that contact or interaction. [ … ] Different motivational states or states of action readiness exist … Emotions are tendencies to establish, maintain, or disrupt a relationship with the environment.Reflect: Finding a pattern in the many actions the senses detect.
2. Our Cognitive Architecture is shared with the Organisms
This part is about the architecture we share with all of the Organisms.
It is mainly based on earlier work of Rodney Cotterill and Will McWhinney, both diseased.
Peter Carruthers: Innate Human Cognition. What is the Architecture of the Mind?Modular architecture of Peter Carruthers
The Self-Assembling Brain
“our genome contains the information required to create our brain. That information, however, is not a blueprint that describes the brain, but an algorithm that develops it with time and energy. In the biological brain, growth, organization, and learning happen in tandem. At each new stage of development, our brain gains new learning capabilities (common sense, logic, language, problem-solving, planning, math). And as we grow older, our capacity to learn changes”
Every Organism is a step in a very long term process we call evolution in which the outside-world is internalized and externalized in a new outside-world. The genome reproduces a body that is able to reproduce a body but also a system that is able to reproduce and adapt itself.
The picture shows the most simple structure of an organism being a Motor and a Receptor connected with a Short termMemory.
The bacterium is Exploring its environment by changing the rotation of its flagellum with and against the clock.
The short term memory is an autocatalytic, chemical reaction that determinates not only the Rythm of the rotation but also the Direction of the rotation of the rotor.
Rodney Cotterill’s neuro-physiological work supports the motor-environment-mind schema of complex feedback loops.The complex of feedback loops enables one to “Know what one knows.”:
“The ability to know that one knows is referred to by psychologists as first-order embedding.
Higher embedding, such as that exemplified by knowing that one knows that one knows, merely depends on the ability to hold things in separate patches of neuronal activity in working memory.
This manifests itself in the creature’s intelligence, which also dictates its ability to consolidate existing schemata into new schema.” is a unique feature of mammalian brains.
Intelligence and reflection are explained as due to functioning of the web of feedback loops, both internal and external, that evolved in higher animals“.
The word Relevant comes from Latin relevare “to lessen, lighten, levis: light.
Relevance theory is a framework for understanding the interpretation of utterances.
It aims to explain the well recognised fact that communicators usually convey much more information with their utterances and their Body than what is contained in their literal sense.
Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky used “cognitive biases,” to show that humans make irrational choices.
One of these biasses is called the conformation bias. Humans love to hear a confirmation of what they believe.
Lately a new “science” called Evolutionary Psychology” is trying to find out what “functions” helped the human to survive.
Historically, evolutionary pressure has resulted in cognitive systems that recognise potentially relevant stimuli and try to draw relevant conclusions.
Dan sperber and Hugo mercier argued that this type of bias, being a part of communication, is supporting collaboration.
To Attract the Attention the “uttering” has to be Relevant, making things easy, simple, light.
They also looked at the amount of Energy it takes to communicate.
Relevance theory started with the research of Robert Grice. The Gricean maxims—Quantity (Just Enough), Quality (True), Relation (Relevant)), and Manner (the Right Way) describe the principles observed by people in pursuit of effective communication.
Argumentation Theory tries to show the evolutionary benifit of many cognitive biasses.
The Perceptual Symbol Systems are so rich in the type of connections that they generate free Associations that keep a group in the right direction making it possible to Nudge a group by giving them only one choice into the desired direction. This is comparable with a vector-field.
Conclusions Precede Arguments:
Argumentation theory and Rhetorics. We use arguments to convince others but also to convince ourselves.
We are able to use many different cognitive tools (modules) at the same time without knowing we do that.
We use generalizations and are not aware of the differences between the generalisations.
We love Dopamine and therefore love to act in situations were dopomine is produced (“gambling).
There are two systems active the Controlled (Dopamine) and the Control system (Observer).
Conclusions come first, arguments later.
We always pick the last we hear and find the arguments to justify our decision.
Falsification avoids bias.
We are social animals and our brain has to support cooperation.
We could benefit from deceiving but we have to keep our Status.
Coding vs Decoding. Humans are Curious. We are tool makers improving our tools. the older the more knowledge and problems to retrieve out of memory. Attention is given to something that fits what we want know and is relevant. Time and Energy are always Limited.
Our Communication is mainly Implicit
Maximilisation of relevance.Balance between Energy and Cognitive-Contextual effects. Assesment is looking for relevance.
The difference between the foreground and the background of comunication or the difference between Explicit and Implicit,figurative language such as hyperbole, metaphor and irony.
4. The Frame Problem:
The frame problem is about What a “system” is able to see in a Situation and what changes what (“an Event“) and what is Changed and is Not Changed.
The frame problem was created when IT-technology moved into the area of Artificial Intelligence.
At that time every “problem” was solved by designing a new Language like LISP and PROLOG.
Logic (“rules“) put into a program was leading the way and logic was guided by Set-theory.
Although Chomsky’s Language theory was already there nobody realized that human Language is very diferent from a Progamming Language that is Context-indepentedent.
The Artifical Intelligence of the Computer does not understand what was out there and tried to catagorize the outside by also define the not-categories not realizing that they were not bounded (infinite).
Until now the AI-computer looks like a savant a highly specialized human that is in an expert in one area but incapable in the Infinite area’s outside its speciality.
It is not able to define what is relevant and does not see the difference between implicit and the explicit conversations. It is also not able to interpret the many illogical signs we send with our Body, Facial Expressions and Manner until Geroge Lakoff and his group of scientitst detected that we the human communication is embodied.
This chapter contains many AI-architectures even a model based on General Semantics at the end.
As you will see all the models are different from the model that is explaining heuristics in the Introduction.
The main reason is that the models are based on the theories of bounded rationality that existed before the time of Herbert Simon and Daniel Kahneman, both winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics , described in my blog about Heuristics.
According to Marcus Hutter Intelligence is Compression just as you can find in my blog about Heuristics. If you want to know more move directly to the Conclusion.
5.1 General Semantics
Alfred Korzibski was forced to fight in the first world war. He did not understand why humans act like cruel animals. After moving to the Us and marying he started to research human Communication and developed the theory of General Semantics.
“General semantics is concerned with how events translate to perceptions, how they are further modified by the names and labels we apply to them, and how we might gain a measure of control over our own responses, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral.
General semantics had a lot of influence on cognitive-therapy including NLP.
The model of Korzybski looks a lot like the model of Interpersonal theory hat describes Mental Illness.
When you press the link above you will find an impressive website about everything you want to know about AI-architectures. Below you find a few examples I have taken out of this website.
AIXI is a AI-theory developed by Marcus Hutter. IXI is a reinforcement learning agent. It maximizes the expected total rewards received from the environment. Intuitively, it simultaneously considers every computable hypothesis (or environment). In each time step, it looks at every possible program and evaluates how many rewards that program generates depending on the next action taken.
5.6 CALO The Perfect PAL:
the DArpa CALO-project ( Cognitive Assistant that Learns and Organizes ).
5.7 ACT-R A new AI Program Language:
ACT-R is a cognitive architecture: a theory for simulating and understanding human cognition. Researchers working on ACT-R strive to understand how people organize.
In the Evolution of the the Organisms two things happened:
(1) the processes of life became auto-catalyticmeaning that a chemical process became a repeating cycle (auto) that was sustained and became independent of other processes.
(2) the cycles got connected and created bigger cycles without breaking the katalytic mode until one of the cyclic cycles was able to look like an independent entity.
A cycle that reproduces itself is called an Autopoiesis, a Self-reproduction.
Below you can watch 4 video’s that give examples of autopoietic auto-catalytic systems and the big change in thinking they accomplished.
One of the major Scientists was Robert Rosen: See chapter 6.2.
He tried to explain Anticipatory Systems and found out that it is impossible to explain them with our current modelling language that supposes that Nature is a Machine made by a (Divine) Architect (Pthah) that got the Specifications from Ma,at (responsible for Balance, Harmony) and gave them to Khnum, the divine potter, to Make the animals (including the Humans) out of Clay.
Autopoietic Systems are Self-Reproducing.
Auto catalytic systems explain the Origin of life
We Exist because there is Change
A brilliant lecture of Mihai Nadin, the last living collaborator of Robert Rosen.
How do we account for change while being part of it? How do we account for anticipation as an expression of preparing and adapting to change?
There are Reactive and Anticipatory systems. The last category has to predict the Future.
To predict the future a system has to Contain the Future. we call an Expectation .
A good example of an anticipatory system is a Pregnant woman.
Humans learn from an Expectation Failure sometimes called a Mistake.
Collaborative Learning
Collaboration and learning are active in their own space (the physical context and the social context) and join in mental space (the internal state of a person).
The Evolution of Life
The origin of life lies deep in the Universe were stars like our Sun are created.
Life was ecreated in the labatory by simulating the situation of an early Earth. After that early life was also detected in Meteorites.
Later a lot of Suns where detected that look like our Sun so Life could be Abundant in the Universe.
The Pattern of Creation is repeating at every level of Scale.
Chemistry
Life is the result of Combining the combinations until infinity of SimpleMolecules made out of Four basic molecules.
Again the many combinations of a Fourfold, Hydrogen, Oxygen,Nitrogen and Carbon (+1,-2,-3,+4) determinate the Origins of life.
The interesting point is that the Sum of theValences of the Elements of the fourfold cycle = Zero.
Because the four elements are Rotating structures the Chemistry of the Beginning of Life on Earth fits perfectly with the theory of Peter Rowlands about the Nilpotent Universe (See below).
The chemical elements are ordered by the Periodic Table of of Dmitri Mendeleev . The document below describes how the elements facitated the birth of Life.
Robert Rosen made a distinction between Simple and Complex Systems.
In Complex Systems the Whole is more than the Sum of its Parts meaning that there are many Relations between the Parts that are not only Causal but have another Meaning.
In Simple systems the nodes are Nouns and the links are Verbs creating a Narrative that explains its Behavior.
They can be explained by the Four Causes of Aristototle that always begin with asking How (Processs, Verb) an Agent (in general a Human Craftsman (Agent, I, he, ) has assembled Material parts (Noun) ending with the Why being its Purpose.
Living System have no purpose because they are not made by an mechanical process controlled by a craftsman although many people believe this happened when the autocatalytic proces took place.
Systems that can anticipate, contain internal predictive models of themselves and/or their environments,
They are part of the class of Third OrderCybernetic Models.
Robert Rosen, Natural systems are explained by mapping them on a Machine-Model mapping (Encoding, Decoding) them on a Formal Model where the Causal relation turns into an Inference.
Pattern formation in Nature.Te model contains two processes called aan Activator and and an Inhibitor.
A citation of chapter 1 shows that the same pattern of Acitivation and Inhibition is happening in the body : ” The peripheral reflexes can act independently of the brain, but they can also be coordinated and sequenced by it. The main point to be grasped here is that the brain’s primary purpose lies in the need for inhibiting peripheral reflexes, when particularly sophisticated sequences of muscular movements have to be executed“.
The Evolution of the Organism can be seen as an expanding structure in time that is controlled by a LinearBodyplan that starts with the “Head” and ends with the “Tail” in which the genes act as Switches that start a deeper level of expansion.
Brain of a Fruitfly is divided in functional area’s.
6.4 The Human Brain is an Adaptive Dymamic Network:
Mapping looks a lot like Category Theory and Schema-theory.
The idea is to map a problem-space to a domain where the problem is already solved, solve the problem and map the Solution back.
To do that the function has to be Isomorphic meaning that structure is preserved in two ways.
Below an Example.
The first picture is the result of making use of a mapping from the Rational Model of Alan Fiske using the function of Paths of Change (see the colors) to the Scales in Measurement Theory.
A MApping from Alan Fiske’s theory of Human Relations to Geometry and Panarchy (Ecology) and Anti-fragility.connected by Paths of Change.
The Relational models of Alan Fiske (see below) mapped to the scales of Measurement. It looks like we “measure” our relationship with four possibel scales.The model of Alan Fiske mapped to Path of Change (PoC)The Four Scales (with the color of PoC)explained.
6.5 Category Theory: Systems are Functions, Metaphors are Functions:
How to combine category theory and network theory.
He is exploring the Many Meta-Levels above Reality like Will McWhinney was exploring the 2×2-level (the Quaternio).
I have also played with the Higher than Quaternio levels and tried to keep the Four “types” based on the Duality (Agency, Communion) in tact.
A Generator of a cycling cycle related to the Chinese Sheng Cycle being a (Magic) Square with the Xenter or the Whole (White) in the middle (cross) connected to the other 4 points.
As you can see the Pentragram is a Fractal model. The Points of View point into many Orthogonal “Independent“) Directions where Up (Yellow) is Abstracting and Green is Implementing and Red and Blue are SpaceTime.
The types relate with the four Jungian “Organs” of the human being Mind (blue, Thinking), Sensory-Motor (Red, Action-Sensing), Social (Green, Emotions, Feeling), Imagination (Yellow, Intuitive).
When we look at the Bacterium the Sensor and the Motor (Flagellum) are put into a Container (Cell, Boundary) and are related with a Chemical Auto–CatalyticProcess that is a Memory that operates in a Context that contains “active” chemicals (with an E/M-valence) and other Organisms (F.i. viruses).
The difference with the Four types of Carl Jung is the whole (1, Boundary) put into the Pentagram, the Five (3+2).
This problem was alreaday “solved” in Chinese Philosophy where the five was the symbol of the whole also called the Quintessence. the essential part of Matter we call Energy and also called Aether.
The Sheng Cycle is the result of connecting a 3×3 Magic Square called the Lo Shu.
Chinese (fractal) Sheng Cycle constructed with the PoC-model where White is the Whole (Boundary, Protect).
Kent became incomprehensible when he left the first the Meta-level trying to find alternatives for the Duality “abstraction or implementation”.
Below a website that explores all the 2**N-levels .
I found a a thesis called Peirce, Vygotsky and Concept Formation by Chris Barnham. I is also about the Semiotics and Pragmatism of Peirce. Watch out. This is complicated stuff just as the theory of Kent Palmer.
This blog started with additional research on Heuristics that resulted in research about the History of the human Cognitive architecture that brought me back to Rodney Cotteril a friend of my mentor Will McWhinney who rediscovered the Paths of Change of Carl Jung he called a Quaternio based on the Quaternions invented by William Rowan Hamilton in 1841 and used by Maxwell to define his theory of Electro Magnetism.
Later I found the Quaternions of Peter Rowlands that unites Physics and is based on “recent” mathematics he called Biomathematics for the reason that it also explains Biology and the Human.
Charge
The Quaternio of Peter Rowlands is based on Octonions being an abstraction of the Quaternions that are an abstraction of the Complex numbers rhat are Rotations of Real Numbers.
Peter proved that our Universe is a Turing Machine based on a special language that is constantly Rewritten by a nilpotent condition meaning its Sum is Zero.
The last weeks I have explored Type Theory as a foundation of Computer languages and Cohomogy theory, a foundation of the fusion of Topology and Algebra.
Again everything got together even in my dreams where I discovered CoQ without knowing it existed.
In this blog you will learn that we are very close to a big Physical, Technical but also PhiloSophical, Social and Medical Transformation caused by a major Breakthrough in physics because of the Fusion of Quantum Mechanics, Gravitation, Electromagnetism, the Weak Interaction, and the Strong Interaction
The fusion is explained by the Octonions that are extensions of the Complex numbers. The octonions represent Rotations of Rotations of Rotations (=Spirals) in 8D Space.
Spiraling spirals have always been seen as the sources of our universe. See Chapter 0 Introduction.
An interview with Konstantin Meyl who has tried to repeat the experiments of Nikola Tesla and found out that the Scalar (Longitudinal) wave of Tesla is the Perpendicular Complement of the Electro–Magnetic wave. He also discovered that the Universe is Nilpotent (Sum is Zero, nil).
In chapter 0 called the Nilpotent Universe you will learn that our Universe is a (Turing)-Machine that is able to adapt its own programming Language by evaluating the Nilpotent constraint meaning that theSum of all Changes has to be Nil (“zero”, “empty”).
The interesting point is that the (re?)discovered “Language of God” has a lot in common with the ancient constructed languages including Sanskrit (,meaning the practice (Krit) of producing Sounds (Sans).
-1 Whats wrong with Current Physics, What is abandoned and Why?:
In this part you will find out what the current state of Physics is about and what old theories were dropped. The main reason is that the solutions that made use of higher dimensions could not be fused with Einsteins theory of Relativity and with Quantum Mechanics that both were able to predict and explain many facts until Dark Matter and Dark Energy appeared.
De Broglie was the first one that came up with an explanation of the Model of Niels Bohr of the atom by introducing a Standing wave guided by a Pilot-wave. This pilot wave proved to be the same wave that was interacting with itself.
Later you will see Self interaction Explains Everything. The universe observes itself. If self-interaction explains everything does that mean that there is just one Pilot-wave that explains everything and the observer is not able to see the whole?
One of many Higher Dimensional theories was Kazula Klein theory. It has a lot in common with String theory.
the discrete quantum, continuous relativity, basic physical geometry, theoretical mathematics and classical physics all share one common characteristic that has never been fully explored or explained – a paradoxical duality between a dimensionless point (discrete) and an extended length (continuity) in any dimension – and if the problem of unification is approached from an understanding of how this paradox relates to each paradigm, all of physics and indeed all of science could be unified under a single new theoretical paradigm.
In this chapter you will learn that the Universe is a (Turing-)Machine programmed by a special language.
The machine is controlled by a Constraint that ensures a Zero Sum.
This special language differs from a traditional computational semantic language description with a fixed or finitealphabet, in that the production-rules allow new symbols to be added to the initial alphabet.
This means that the language of Creation is able to Change its own definition.
The production starts with just one symbol representing ‘nothing’ and contains two fundamental rules:
(1): Create, a process which Adds new Symbols, and (2): Conserve, a process that examines the Effect of any new symbol on those that currently exist, to ensure ‘a “zero sum’ again.
This video is about new insights in the role of the Spiraling Spiral of DNA that come out of new developments in Quantum–BioPhysics.
The Big Transformation (Chapter 1) is the move from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius (The Water Baerer) being the change of DualisticScience to Non-Dualistic Science (Advaita) finding a shared Unity (1-ness), between what we See and what we Are.
We have to stop streamlining and let the water flow.
Sri Aurobindo was born in India died in 1950. He was educated by his parents in the UK and became a revolutionary in India. Suddenly he was called to explore the higher levels of mind and developed a new way of yoga in which you can enhance the capabilities of the mind. Aurobindo is the philosopher of our time.
The Shared Unity of Reality and the Self could be the Zero (0), of the nothingness of the Nilpotency (chapter 0) of the Heart of the Universe where 0=0 or the 1 of the Unity of the Point of the Singularity of the Bindu (the Zero-Point Field)or the 2 of the Line of the Observer of Projective Geometry,(Chapter 2)
and the 0+1+2=3 Dimensions of Space and the Trinityof the Triangle of the 2+3=5 of the Pentagram of the ChineseSheng Cycle.
The Sheng Cycle projected on Paths of Change. The cycle contains a Duality combined with a Trinity being the feed back cycle of the duality (2+3=5)
In this Blog I Combine (Part 3), Change/ Transformation (Part 1 ) and Geometry (Part 2).
In Chapter 0 You will see that Physics can be explained by the Octonions being a Combination of the Combination (Quaternions) of the combination (Complex Numbers) of the Real Numbers being Rotations of Rotations of Rotations (= Spirals)of Space.
The dream of the World Clock of Wolfgang Pauli looks like the rotating rotators of the model of the Octionions but also like the Vision of Ezekiel in the Bible. The model is also an Astrological model of the four Tetramorphs,
This is a presentation of Peter Marcer About the Universe as a Cybernetic System.
Erwin Laszlo: Mystics and sages have long maintained that there exists an interconnecting cosmic field at the roots of reality that conserves and conveys information, a field known as the Akashic record.
This field also called the Zero-Point Fieldconsists of a subtle sea of fluctuating energies from which all things arise: atoms and galaxies, stars and planets, living beings, and even consciousness. It holds the record of all that ever happened in life, on Earth, and in the cosmos and relates it to all that is yet to happen. Nataraja , the Lord of the Dance dances the Universe. His four gestures (mudras) are explained by Paths of Change which is also the model behind the Octonions.
Will McWhinney The Four Worldviews of Paths of ChangeRudolf Laban Space Harmony -The letters of the Alphabet are represented by (geometric) pPatterns movements and sounds. They are the Foundation of the old Cultures on earth. The old cultures give us insight in the ways the State and the cities were Organized. In their organization the Ancient patterns play an important role.
Kim Veltman the manager of the McLuhan-institute in Maastricht (died-1-4-2020) explains using the history of the Alphabets how the old civilizations (<920.00 BC) communicated by trade using the old traderoads, boats and land-bridges sharing their cultures and seers and why christianity is an offspring of Zen (Gospel of Thomas).
The Big Bang is an interpolation of the Expanding Universe to a theoretical Beginning. In Part 2 you will learn that there is a lot of doubt about this concept.
The main reason is that the foundational measurements of the “speed of Light” prove to be wrong destroying the theory of Albert Einstein.
The big problem is that a Big Bang needs a lot of Energy but also generates the same question again and again until we believe in an always returning, Cyclic Universe.
If you are willing and able to read this chapter you will see that the solution to our biggest and most expensive scientific problem is very simple and applicable to all the other exact sciences including Biology:
Our Universe is a self-replicating Turing Machine and
This 0th chapter contains links and texts that prove that our Universe is Nilpotent meaning that all the Values of the PartsSum to Zero.
This makes it possible to bring a lot of the most complex formula’s back to simple formula that show very simple connections that can be explained by Symmetry Breaking.
Our Universe can be explained by simple building blocks that unite and disconnect in a very simple way that can be described by a simple machine just as the old Magus Leibniz imagined. He called this the principle of sufficient reason:
““Dieu a choisi celuy qui est… le plus simple en hypotheses et le plus riche en phenomenes” (God has chosen that which is the most simple in hypotheses and the most rich in phenomena)”.
The most useful Production rules” of the grammar of the Universe are the so called Octonions a generalization of the complex numbers in 8 (2**3) dimensions where i, j en k are √-1. are the foundation of the Quaternions. The most important point here is that he Complex numbers, the Quaternions and the Octionions represent Rotations in N-dimensional Space.
Our Universe rotates and its rotations rotate also generating changes that are unchanged. We always move back to the beginning that is Empty (“zero”). History Repeats Itself and patterns repeat themselves in so many different the same ways that most people don’t see that we are repeating the repetitions on every level of scale until the smallest Planck level and the biggest universe. The patterns are Scale-Free.
David Krakauer is President of the Santa Fe-institute specialized in Complexity Theory (CT). This video is about the foundations of CT. THis video is interesting but not needed to understand this chapter.
A geometric model of the Universe of the mathematician Peter Rowlands that will be explained (taken out of the 2 dimensions (plane) we usually use to understand (move Up in 3D)) in chapter 2. Peter uses the Octonions as a Number System that needs 8 dimensions (2**3). Peter proves that everything we know about the universe can be explained by the number 2 and 3 and their sum 5.
This is the Chinese Sheng Cycle (SC) which is result of the Lo Shu Magic Quadrant projected on Paths of Xhange.
Observe that the Model of Peter Rowlands looks a lot like the model I use (PoC) with the big difference that PoC is a Dynamic Model. In the Sheng Cycle you see the combination of Duality (<->) and Trinity by making a connection to the other Dualities. The Paths of Cange moves With (Producing) and against the Clock (Consuming).
Lo Shu Magic Square. The Sheng Cycle is a result of connecting the Numbers of the Lo Shu Magic Quadrant.
A model of PoC (Paths of Change) in which the Fourfold model is represented as a combination of Contraction (C) and Expansion (E). The colors refer to the description of the Points of View. The connection C & E is often represented by a Breath.
Paul La Violette: Rather than imagining the universe as originating explosively out of nothingness, it instead conceives that the matter making up our universe has been materializing spontaneously throughout all of space and within all celestial bodies, coming into being through a process of continuous creation or parthenogenesis (virgin birth)The model of Path of Change (PoC). Every Cycle (1<-1) to 1->2->3->4 is a PoC. The 4 Points of View have their own color. Observe that the Sheng Cycle contains the Duality (2) and the Trinity (3) with a Sum 5 being 3×5, the Sum of the Lo Shu.
Paths of Change (PoC) is based on a Dual model that contains two variables (1): Agency(Compression) & (2): Communion (Expansion) which are the same as Yin & Yang. 2×2= 4 = 2**2. 4 points have 12 + 1 (center) = 13 connections. Because of the 12 connections PoC contains many Triangels.
PoC contains 4 Points of View (PoV) called Unity (Blue, Rules, Thinking), Sensory (Sensory Meter System, Real Red), Social (Emotions, Green) and Mythic( Creation, View, Imagination), Yellow).
Time and Charge are Imaginary unless we use a Clock like the Earth rotating the Sun or the Polestar rotating with the Precession cycle.
Space is Real when we move on Earth using a Reference System that also could be the Stars and the Planets we can see with our personal Sensors. Mass is Real because we experience Mass as an Attraction of a bigger Mass (Earth) and sense the influence of the Moon in the rise of the Sea. Mass & Charge are Attractors and Not Attractors and are therefore related to the Emotions.
Mass & Charge are “Conserved” Physical quantities that remain constant with time are called conserved quantities. Example, for a body under external force, the kinetic and potential energy change over time but the total mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) remains constant. The appearance of a given amount of positive charge in one part of a system is always accompanied by the appearance of an equal amount of negative charge somewhere else in the system;
Mass & Charge contain a “negative” and a “positive” value we could define as “zero”. According to Peter the Universe is Nilpotent meaning that its sum is always zero. This implies that the (Sum of the) Beginning of the Universe was Zero too (Empty).
The mathematician Emily Noeter proved that every conservation can be translated in a special type of Symmetry (see Chapter 2).
Peter Rowlands The Universe is a universal Turing Machine that uses a rewrite system based on Chomsky’s theory of grammars. I believe the grammar is based on the the number 3, the Trinity.
A Big Transformation is Predicted by The Precession Cycle
There are many Cycles with different Periodicities. The longest Cycle known by the ancient Astrologers is the Precession Cycle with a cycle-time of 25800 years. The cycle runs retrograde, in de opposite direction as the Seasonal cycle and covers the twelf Constellations of the Zodiac. An age takes 25800/12= 2150 years.
A much shorter cycle is the Kondratiev with a periodicity of about 50 years. Currently we are moving from the Kondratiev Winter to the Kondratiev Spring a period in which many disruptions take place. After the Spring we will move into the Golden Age (Summer).
The Sri Yantra contains 43 triangels and contains the 1 (Center, Point, Bindu, Void), the 4 Gates being the Four Gardians of the Zodiac comparable to the four Worldview of Path of Change., the Wheel with 4×4=16 petals that moves the Gates. precession Cycle
According to astrologic we are leaving the Age of Pisces (started around 0BC. In Luke 22:10, when jesus (the Fisherman) is asked by his 12 apostles where he will go to settle his new kingdom, he responds, “Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, follow him into the house where he entereth in.” This is the “House of Aquarius”.
A video from this website: https://www.starmythworld.com/video that contains a lot of video’s and links that show that the procession of the Equinox and the many helical risings show a story that was taken over in many myths all over the world. It also shows that our time the Time of the Waterbaerer is the time of John the Baptist OANNIS who initiated the fish in the river Jordan which is a metaphor for the Milkey Way.
The Age of Aquarius is the Age of Flow Systems hat transport Data and make Meaning by Programming the (Semantic Model of the) Data until the programs Fuse into a Global Brain.Around 2040 we will face a Big Transformation in which a New Global Religion will appear or an Ancient Religion will reappear.
The Return of the Goddess was predicted a long time ago using the Cyclic Patterns of the Precession of the Equinox that could be observed looking at he movement of the North Star by the ancient Magi in Persia. Our current pole star is Polaris dedicated to Maria (Stella Maris). The Sign of the current state of the Precession of the Zodiac is Aquarius the Carrier (of the Cup of Water (Emotions). The water of Aquarius feeds the Fish that swim in the Sea of our Milky Way.
In this blog you will find that the roots of our civilization contain the roots of the major change science is making. The main reason is the rise of complexity-science in which Self-Organization (“Flow Systems“) plays an important role.
25,800-Year Cycle of Earth called the Precession Cycle. Here you see a picture of the Pole Stars that dominated the sky a long time ago.
Entheogen documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions: How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis? What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche? How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn?
Entheogen invites the viewer to consider that the answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to Awaken to the Divine within.
Mark Solms Consciousness is Prediction in Action. The brain is a Self Organizing System with the following properties: (1): It is ergodic, meaning it has limited number of states. (2): It has a Markov blanket, a boundary between itself and its environment. (3): It has active inference, It makes predictions about its own states and its environment from that environment’s effects on their Markov blanket. (4) It is preservative, which means minimizing its internal entropy, maintaining homeostasis.
Perception involves the more central regions making predictions, which propagate toward the peripheral (sensory) regions. The peripheral regions compare the prediction with incoming sensory information and send back prediction error signals. This happens across numerous layers.
We see what we expect to see, with the incoming information forcing corrections.
Solms notes that a self evidencing system receiving information that violates its expectations can react in one of three ways.
It can act to change conditions to bring the signals more in line with its expectations.
It can change which representation(s) it’s currently using to make better predictions. This is perception.
It can adjust the precision of the predictions to more optimally match the incoming signal.
Solms identifies the last as Consciousness.
Interview with avid Krakauer, President of the Santa Fe Institute that researches Self Organization.
The theory of the universal quantum computer has brought us rapid technological developments, together with remarkable improvements in how we understand quantum theory.
There are, however, reasons to believe that quantum theory may ultimately have to be modified into a new theory: for instance, it will have to be merged with general relativity, to incorporate gravity; and some claim that it may be impossible to have quantum effects beyond a certain macroscopic scale.
So what lies ahead of quantum theory, and of the universal quantum computer? To shed some light into these questions, we need a shift of logic in the way things are explained. Specifically, one can adopt the approach where the basic assumptions are general principles about possible/ impossible transformations, rather than dynamical laws and initial conditions. To find out what is impossible we will find the possible.This approach is called constructor theory.
This ‘Physics of Can and Can’t’ may be the first step towards the ultimate generalisation of the universal quantum computer, which vonNeumann called the ‘Universal Constructor’ or the Creator of Everything including itself.
The ancient knowledge of the Feminine Goddess (Tantra) revived in the Renaissance at many Places: (France (Kathars) Praque (Alchemists, Spain, Kabbalists , Engeland (John Dee), Italy (Bruno) into the group of the Rosicrucians. The “war” between the Heart and the Ratio was coordinated out of Venice the center of Financial Power at that time. It was won by the victory of the Ratio in the Enlightenment. The Power of the Imagination and the Emotions is still there and is returning.
What is Maya? Maya is ignorance but also expectation, taking things for granted.
Debashish Bannerji: The history of Yoga goes back to the time of the Devine Goddess and the hunter gatherers in the Indus Vally >5000 BC. There are many pictures of practices and rituals that were performed to bring the Internal and external Animal (Tantra) under Control.
The Fourfold Cycle of PoC related to the Body connected by the Heart to the Fourfold Cycle of the Mind generating (3(+1)+3)=7 Chakra’s. The imagination controls the Will that generates Action in the Outside Reality (\magic).
Heidegger: Humans are toolmakersprojecting our expectations into the Future. The aim of Science is to control Nature by developing devices (instruments, screen,..) that hide nature.
2 Geometry
“Imagination is more important than knowledge For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand” (Albert Einstein)
In a Conformal Geometry you look at the world with the (cognitive) Instrument of a fisheye-lens.
Escher’s drawing of a conformal (hyperbolic) space
In a conformal geometry Big and Small are comparable. This means that our Universe is Fractal or as was stated by the ancient Magi as As Above so Below: Our mind is a simulation of the universe.
“The feedback-loops in the cell-like structures of self-propelling space can be seen as a giant mind (a neural network) that is split in many (in)dependent minds. One of these minds is the mind of the Human but cells, the body, the brain, earth, our galaxy and the universe are also mindful” (Reginald Cahill)
Physics is based on a wrong interpretation of the experiments of Morrison and Morley that wanted to measure the Speed of Light. Space is not static but looks like a fluid.
The ancient interpretation of space, the Ether, is back.
Space .is just as gravity fractal and contains just as quantum-theory a Stochastic factor in which space “chooses” a direction to grow. Space has a lot in common with organisms . Watch/listen to the presentation above, read this blog or read the document below.
Below a picture of relational (social) fractal space.
Observe that this geometry is comparable with Projective geometry which is comparable with an Observer looking at the horizon which is the frame of the de Anti de Sitter Space. AlReginald Cahill explains why the ether is a dynamic environment that influences not only the sun and its flares but also Earth and its Climate. Interested In this case? Have a look at this blog.
About the relationship between the Process physics of Reginald Cahill, the Semiotics of Sanders Peirce and the Anticipating Systems of of Robert Rosen. More will be explained in the Last part of this blog.
According to Conformal Field Theory (CFT) we live on the almost Flat Boundary (“a Frame“) of a “sliced” (“layered”) (hyperbolic) Anti-de-Sitter Space.Observe the “fisheye-structure”on top and below of the 3D-“tube”.
Above you see 3 types of space in which space is curved at a special way in which the sum of the angles is equal smaller or bigger than 180 degrees. Observe that the all the types have their own way to define a RIGHT angle which is a way to define a new dimension.
Christi Belcourt (Métis) – The Wisdom of the Universe, 2014
Julian Barbour (Physicist, writer of the book “The end of Time“): The only thing that Exists in our Universe are Changing Shapes. “There is no invisible river of time. But there are Shapes that you could call Instants of Time, or ‘Nows‘. As we live, we seem to move through a succession of Nows, and the question is, what are they? They are arrangements of everything in the universe Relative to each other in any moment, for example, now“.
Imants Barušs : The Universe comes in- and out of focus, it is Recreated, at every Planck-Time just as Julian Harbour tries to explain.Between those moments of not-being our consciousness fills in the gaps.
Currently we measure Time with an artificial constructed (atom-)Clock. Before the invention of the clock time was related to the cyclical processes in the year that were related to the movement of the (Male)Sun and the (Female)Moon.
The big patterns were related to the movement of the Stars that are related to the Precession Cycle. At that time the Map of the Sky and the Map of the Earth were aligned.This means that the maps of the Earth are projections of star maps but also that the locations on earth where looking like the patterns in the sky. A good example is the Seven Cities of Paul in the Apocalypse that were aligned to thePleiades.
The Geometry of Shapes (“Similarity Geometry“) is the most important geometry because it contains the Potential of creation. This Geometry corresponds with Mythic in paths of Change (the Creative Personality) and Equality Matching in the theory about Social Relationships of Alan Fiske. It can also be found as the Hero in the Myths of all Cultures researched by Joseph Campbell., the Fool (o) in the Tarot, Zero in the Numbersystem and Λ or ∅ in Set Theory.
he most used geometry is Euclidian Geometry. We measure everything. Even our relationships are measured in terms of values like money and possession. We have forgotten to value social contributions.
The number of steps in the Hero‘s Journey corresponds with the cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot (-> To R AT, RO T AR,..).
About Value Analysis.
In the Beginning
The blog begins after a few Video’s about the current insight about the Geometry of the Universe. It looks like our Universe is without a beginning and an end but also without Time and Space. It is filled with Infinite Possibilities.
The Tao is like a well: used but never used up. It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities.
It is hidden but always present. I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God.
In Hinduism, a Kalpa. , a Cycle of a Universe, is equal to 4.32 billion years, called a day of Brahma . In Hinduism, Brahmā (Sanskrit: meaning “swelling” or “expansion”) is God in his manifestation as Creator of the universe. Brahmā is part of the Trimurti (the Hindu Trinity) alongside Vishnu and Shiva. Brahma lives on top of Mount Meru (look at the triangle on the head of Brahma) also called Pascal’s Triangle (see Chapter 9).
Brahma
Symmetry
What is the relationship between symmetry and conservation laws. This has to do with the numbers you use for instance -1. When the rules contains a square 1**2 = (-1)**2 but also (i)**2=(-i)**2=-1.
Force
When we push all the shapes together they will become a Black wHole. What is able to create such a Force? What lies behind the Black Hole? The Nothing,Empty Space? Is Empty space Possible? Is the Sum of Things Zero or Infinite (8)?
How small do we have to go and what energy do we need to “see” gravity? Why is gravity very different from electro-magnetism and what have we learnt from the last few years? According to Einstein Gravity is a distortion (“curvature”) of Minkowski-Space-Time but the Universe seems to be outside time and is curved in a completely different opposite way called a Anti-DeSitter Space. In this space we live on the surface that looks like a square (not a volume). We are framed in a Black Hole that is slowly evaporating ceating a new Universe that starts with a Big Bang that is not an explosion but a slow motion expansion until the limit is reached. It looks like Ancient Indian Cosmology is right.
Phase changes are related to the closeness of the parts. What happens when parts are closely packed. What phase is this? a Bose Einstein Condensensate? Is the Universe going through phases repeating the same pattern again and again?
About the Conformal Booststrap : Geoffrey Chew, “Nature is as it is because this is the only possible nature consistent with itself,”
It is possible to unite all the different theories of the universe by playing with the the Dimensions and geometry of space which could be flat or curved in a positive or negative way.
The explanation for the data we have gathered about the beginning is that there wwas no time in the beginning which is the same explanation as the conformal bootstrap above. A universe without time is infinite but not in space. An universe without time that is not infinite in space can only be explained by an infinite converging sequenc. This is called an Anti-de Sitter-Space, a space with almost zero curvature which looks like flat space.
About the Cyclic Universe. In the beginning the Universe was so chaotic (“hot”) that their was no mass so gravity was not existent. In every stage (Kalpa) of the Universe a new Big Bang occurs that repeats the beginning.
What happens on the edge of the universe.
About Conformal Field Theory but now from the perspective of the Holographic Universe.
About the iconformal (CFT) bootstrap.CFT is a mathematical way to map many physical theories using a conformal transformation which a transformation that preserves angles (examples rotations, translations). If you are not interested in background information skip this one.

This blog is still under Construction.
1 The Pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce
Writing chapter 12 has generated (as always) many issues I never thought about before. The major cause is Charles Sanders Peirce , (1839-1914) the “inventor” of Semiotics and the first Pragmatist in the Us. He believed that science is finished when the theories are working in Practice but also that the Laws and Constants of Nature are changing all the time.
In this blog you wil find out that current science has moved far away from he path of converging because it lost its foundation. This foundation lies behind the imagination in the nothing.
After my encounter with Peirce I stumbled upon The theory of J. W.Dunne who experimented with predicting the Future and discovered Hyperspace.
Looking for Hyperspace gave the link to ANPA, an organization of scientists who try to understand the Paranormal. After that I rediscovered (New) Thinking Allowed(NTA), a YouTube-channel of Jeffrey Mislowe, a wellknown para-psychologist.
I (re)discovered NTA because I have always been interested in the paranormal because I was ” paranormal” since I was a child. Ghosts visited me when I was young and when I was older I became “enlightened” (“a terrifying experience”).
Looking for an interesting issue on NTA I rediscovered Alien Abductions and the Grays (our descendants out of the Future), an issue I also encountered when I met the medium Judith Moore. by accident. She helped me to understand what was happening to me after my Jump of my Kundalini that caused many strange effects. Through Judith I discovered that I was of the lineage of the Persian Magi.
As you can see this Blog grows by accident because I Explore (a connection between the Imagination and Action) every Possible paths just as Nature is doing.
Introduction in Semiotics
“If we are to proceed in a logical and scientific manner; we must; in order to account for the whole universe; suppose an initial condition in which the wholeuniverse was non existent; and therefore a state of absolute nothing:…We start; then; with nothing; pure zero: But this is not the nothing of negation: For not means other than; and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second: As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to even first: The nothing of negation is the nothing of death; which comes second to; or after; everything: But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born: There isno individual thing; no compulsion outward nor inward; no law: It is the germinal nothing; in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed: As such; it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility boundless possibility There is no compulsion and no law: It is boundless freedom:(Collected papers of S. Peirce, 1931)
This is a Very compact explanation of Semiotics. Peirce uses a model with 3 components that he calls first-ness (1), second ness (2) and thirdness(3).
1stness is the Senses, 2ndness are the Emotions (Social in PoC, the Other). They are a power, force, a resistance but also a Relation (Duality). 3rdness is the Mind (Unity in PoC), patterns, habits. Interesting is that Peirce forgets the Imagination which could be the influence of the Enlightenment.
When you look at he 2 pictures below who are taken out of the second link about Semiotics you can see that the Representamen is an intermediary beween the Duality of the Object (Event, Outside) and the Subject (Inside, Square, (Mind<-> Senses)<-> (Emotions<->Imagination).
Observe that it is possible to substitute the first picture in the second picture at he place of the Human. In this case the sequence becomes Nature->Object->Human-Interpretant ->Culture. You can extend the chain as long as you want by filling in new Trialities.
Peirce has produced an enormous amount of documents that still need a lot of specialized scientists to interpret what he meant.
It is very clear that Peirce used a “fractal” model without knowing what fractal (Recursive) meant.When you look at Paths of Change Peirce used connected triangels as you can see in the Path of the Human Hero a model of the MetaMyth.and the Trickster who plays the role of God always teasing and stimulating us to Explore andCreate because we are the real Creators made in the image of God.
In the third picture below you see that the Triangel is a Connection of 3 Dualities.
About the Semiotics of Physics.
MetaMyth
The metamyth is a model that contains all the myths in every culture. This myth is defined by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero with a thousand Faces.
The Metamyth defined with the model of Paths of Change. Observe that it is possible to define more triangels when you connect Unity (Modelling) and Social (Values) or break open the four Squares who are connections of two Triangels. In this case the amount of Possible Paths explodes. Defining possible paths between ” virtual particles” (“Temporary States“) is the essence of modern Physics that is caused by the invention of the Path Integral by Richard Feinmann.
The model of Paths of Change containing Four Independent Worldviews that make 12 combination because all of the connections are Bilateral.
2 Thinking about Thinking
David Bohm, the successor of Albert Einstein came into contact with the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti chosen by the Theosophical Society as the new Maitrea . They started to find out what lies behind Thinking what they called the Implicate Order. In this blog you will learn that the Implicate order is the Vacuum(“Empty Space”) sustained by our Imagination.
Freeman Dyson about the Path Integral of Richard Feinmann.
Sheldrake is a follower of Peirce. When you start to study Science you have to start with Rupert Sheldrake a scientist who came with a highly ignored theory that reality is influenced by the majority of the behavior of others. This implies that bbehavior spreads in TimeSpace without Direct physical contact and is picked up elsewhere. You can also explain this by believing that Structure is a Field and just as in Quantum Mechanics parts that are connected stay connected using “bridges” in space-time that are Magic to us just as Einstein called them “spooky action at a distance”1.

3 About HyperSpace
Predicting the Future by Observing the Observer in Hyperspace
in 1924 J.W. Dunne detected that he and his friends where able to look in the Future and the Past by moving into a state of Lucid Dreaming. He discovered that there are 3 levels of SpaceTime in which an observer is observing an observer that could be the same observer. The big problem, of this theory is called infinite regress. The model has no end. In the next video you learn how you can transform an infinite series into a converging series that simulates Space.
The Mathematics of Hyperspace
Louis H. Kaufmann About Spacetime Algebra. Sometimes Algebra starts with No Thing that could be not a thing but also be nothing or the void. By using a tautology A=B Kauffman develops numerical patterns that start with the beginning (void, nothing, zero) and move into infinity. These patterns contain meta-patterns (orders) that can be interpreted as a rhythm that look like a wave that connect cycles in cycles that contain particles that are the anti-particle of itself that can be described by a Clifford Algebra (also called Geometric Algebra) which is an extension of the Imaginary (i) numbers i with j and k where i.j.k.=-1.

4 Infinite Games
This is Version 2. In this version I have finished the Educational part of this blog (Chapter 1) and I have started to write about the Geometry of Change. in chapter 12.
In this part I advice you to spend some time on a video of George Lakoff one of the Leading Scientists in Embodied Cognition . This part of Cognition Theory is based on the Fusion of Complementary concepts (“Bisocation“).
Will McWhinney gave me a book of J.P. Carse called Infinite Games. Infinite games are the opposite of the Finite Game that ends when somebody has won. The Infinite Game is a Game that Creates Games. It is the game of the Trickster. The same Dichotomy can be found in the difference between a Vocation and a Career. In a career (a Racetrack) you Win or Lose.

The Trickster Tijl Uilenspiegel with the Owl in his Left (Magic) Hand and the Mirror of Cycle of Life (the Zodiac) in his Right Hand.
In this blog you will find that the Finite Game of the Controllers is related to Affine Geometry (Order, Ranking, Being the Same) and the Infinite Game of the Trickster to the Similarity Geometry (Being Different). There are two more Geometries that are related to Measures (Euclidian) and Connections (Projective).
Why Science is an Infinite Game.
5 Science
This is a Part of a long series about the Philosophy of Science in which you see the Perspectives of Paths of Change come back united with an idea about How to Do Science in which we learn from our Mistakes.
Artificial Intelligence
We are witnessing the birth of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has nothing to do with Intelligence. It is producing Artificial Humans that beat humans in many area’s (Chess, GO) but still not in Mathematics. Just like you’re calculator you have the choice to be dependent on a machine or to become an exception a human who is able to calculate by Head. Every new Technology makes us more dependent from this new technology (“the so called Automation Paradox)
This a Generator of Cycles where the Stages of the Cycle are determinated by Paths of Change The generator is a Fractal pattern. The (meta-)model behind the Generator is the Chinese Lo Shu (a 3×3 Magic Square) that turns into the Sheng Cycle when you connect the points.
The Cycle Generator applied on Technology shows that we are approaching a new Era in which we will see a Global Brain emerging.
This is one of the most interesting documents about the Foundations of Physics and Mathematics I have read for a very long time. It shows what I already wrote down a few years ago about Geometric Algebra that the Number system opens up new number systems when to want to Reverse what you did.
The Positive numbers end by zero and move over to the negative numbers. When you standardize repeating adding and call it multiply dividing ends when you reach zero. Repeating multiplying generates the square roots that end with the negative numbers generating the Imaginary numbers (i=SqRT-1) but this is not the end. Generalizing the imaginary numbers (the Quaternions) created numbers nobody understood until it was found that they are Rotations in N-Dimensional Space.
Peter Rowland surprises by showing that the symmetries in the symmetries show the Implicate Order of David Bohm and more important that zero (“truly empty) is the Beginning (“alpha”) and the end (“omega”). Which means that the universe is always in balance.
If a statement is true its Negation is also true. In geometry Points also called incidents are lines that Meet and Lines are unions of Points. A point is not-Space and is empty and Flat space is a union of lines. True Statements can be rephrased with different components that create new truths about existing components. The next step is Category Theory in which you can reason with theories (called Functors) as objects called Types.
An Alternative view on the reason why there is Dark Matter based on the theory of Peter Rowland. Rowlands asserts that physics and mathematics are even more intertwined than we commonly believe, and that quaternions together with the assumption that zero is the natural start and end state of all physical reality is enough to derive all of quantum mechanics including Dirac’s and Schrödinger’s equations.
A presentation about the Theory of Peter Rowland.
In 1972, Frank Wilczek was 21 years old. He and his thesis adviser, David Gross, discovered the basic theory of the strong force — the final pillar of the Standard Model of particle physics. Their work revealed the strange alchemy at work inside the nucleus of an atom. It also turned out to underpin almost all subsequent research into the early universe. Wilczek and Gross went on to share the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for the work. Frank wrote a new book about Complementarity which looks a lot like duality and polarity. Deep below the universe two forces are creating a subtile equilibrium in which energy is given and taken.
Frank Wilczek explains Physics with the help of the same insights of Maxwell who detected the Electromagnetic Field. Maxwell used a model based on the 3 colors we use to make all the colors we see by mixing and adding intensity. Frank shows that Physics can be explained by so called property-fields in which complementary forces combine to make other complementary forces that keep Balance. Stangely enough this is the same as the model of Panarchy that describes an ecology. Is the Universe an Ecology of different shapes?A Time-Chrystal When time crystals were first proposed in 2012 by physicist Frank Wilczek they seemed like an exotic consequence of quantum mechanics in systems of many interacting particles. Wilczek argued that such systems broke symmetry in time, changing so as to return periodically to the same state just as ordinary crystals exhibit periodicity in space. Subsequent experimental work has found that quantum time crystals can exist in systems maintained out of equilibrium by some driving force. Now Norman Yao of the University of California at Berkeley and colleagues suggest that time crystals can arise without the need for quantum physics at all.
Contradiction
The third video is about the emerging Global Brain. The first two video’s are about the Foundation of Mathematics which is based on Contradiction . The fourth video is about the Human Relationship theory of Alan Fiske.THis theory is a Bridge between Geometry and Change Management.

Gregg Zuckerman About the Mathematics of Consciousness based on Non-russell Sets. Consciousness is based on Contradiction.
Alan Fiske has developed a widely accepted and used theory about how people coordinate and cooperate. This theory is compatible with Paths of Change. The theory is also compatible with the results (see chapter 8) of Measurement theory where the types of measurement are called Scales. Scales can be related to Geometries. In the blog I start with explaining geometries and move in Chapter 12 to the field of change Management where I Apply the Geometries.
When I studied Mathematics I found the Dutch Mathematician Brouwer who believed what I now still believe and George Lakoff later proved that you have to See Mathematics otherwise it is wrong.
History of this Blog
The reason behind this blog is explained in the last chapter of my blog About the Ecology of the State.
In the blog about the Ecology of the State I reused a blog about Anti-Fragility, a new name for Resilience. Resilience is a major variable in the theory of Panarchy which is a theory about Ecologies.
I combined Panarchy with Paths of Change also a Theory about change and the theory of Alan Fiske about Human relationships. This combination gave me the insight that there is a shared Geometry behind many of the theories tabout Change.
This blog gives you an opportunity to combine the theories yourself. I also will show you that this geometry was known for a very long time ago mainly starting in India (See “Vedic Mathematics“). In the interpretation of the Theory of Alan Fiske the Scales of Measurement play an important role. I have created a special Chapter 8. for this subject.
In this blog I want to explore the Geometry of Change. To make it possible that others are also able to think about Geometries this blog contains many Educational Videos’.
7 Geometry
A projection of the model of Panarchy on the model Paths of Change.Model of Vitality projected on Paths of Change. The Model of Panarchy projected on Paths of Change using the colors of PoC. The ridel of Alan Fiske projected on Paths of Change using the colors of PoC.
As you can see in this Chapter Geometry is very old. It was the Foundation of Art, Architecture , the State and Religion. People have been fascinated by Patterns like the visible patterns Up in the Sky of the Sun, Moon Planets and the Zodiac but also the patterns in numbers. Out of Geometry many sciences have grown that were grouped in schools sometimes called a University. Behind he patterns music was found and music was also created using patterns. The most important Music was the Music of the Spheres . This chapter is Big. It contains many Video’s that contain simulations. The main reason is that you have to See (“insight”) the Theory to understand the Practice.
How Physics, Movement, Symbols and Sound are supported by Geometry
Richard Feynman was able to recreate every theory at will and was therefore able to explain what the theory was about. His lectures are famous. This is a recontruction with a Simulation of his Last Lecture. It is a lecture about Geometry. Below you see a comparable lecture about a comparable genius Riemann who lived a short life but was able just as Feynman to see (Imagine) a lot. This shows the Power of Mathematics. It is not about Reasoning but about Insight. That’s why I have selected many video’s and will find more. Enjoy.
Why the Prime Numbers lie on a line but nobody knows why. A nice present of Quanta Magazine. about the Hypothesis of Riemann. Riemann comes back later when he solves another problem, the problem why geometries are different. He proved that this has to with the Curvature of space. Something you see below when you see the solution of Einstein to the problem of Gravity solved before that time by Newton who stole it from Leibniz, one of the last Magicians before the Golden Dawn (see video below about Mystic Geometry.) Einstein got the solution for his problem of his friend the Mathematician Minkowski.
The curved space of Einstein.
The role of Higher Dimensions in Physics and Mathematics. It started with Albert Einstein. He used a new 4D curved geometry to explain gravity. Kaluza found that Gravity and Electro-magnetism could be united by adding an extra 5th Dimension. This solution was improved by Oscar Klein by introducing Imaginary (2D) numbers . This solution transformed much later into 10 dimensional (vibrating) String /theory to integrate quantum mechanics, . As you can see in the next video the extra dimensions are put into a Very Small Closed in itself (“circular”) area in Space.
Part of a long series of lectures and simulations about symmetric shapes that played an important role in ancient physics and mathematics which was at that time related to the Order of phytogoras.
Transforming a flat structure into a 3D projection of a higher order structure made of Pentacles.
The Physicist Sean Carrol About Geometry and Topology in particular Riemannian non-Euclidean geometry, and topological invariants called “Homotopy groups.
The geometry of our space has zero curvature. In spaces with positive or negative curvature other rules are valid. George Bernhard Riemann developed a new geometrical concept by imagining a 2-dimensional bookworm living on a 3D crumpled sheet of paper.
The surface of the paper would seem to be flat and undistorted. Because the worm can only perceive two dimensions it would not be able to detect that his own body crumples with the paper in the higher dimension. The “force” that would keep the bookworm from moving in a straight line was not a mysterious “action at a distance”, but a result of the unseen warping from the third dimension.
You can imagine a similar experience by walking a straight line on a rotating platform. To you the shortest connection is a straight line while you move with a curve when observed by someone outside the platform. The geometry changes the idea that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
It even changes the idea that we return on the same point when we move in a loop (“circle”). This happens when our space contains one or more holes (“singularities”, “dividing by zero”).
With this example you can learn that it makes a lot of Difference when you are In (Intrinsic) or Outside (Extrinsic) the Context.

8 Theory of Measurement
Measurements can be made through the human Senses or through the use of a measurement Instruments.
Measurement is the assignment of Numerals to a system according to a set of rules. These rules are called a Theory.
Our senses or the instruments that are used to measure the system also represent a theory. This theory has a sometimes unknown impact on our measurement.
To avoid the Bias of the Theory behind our Measurement Systems a theory has to be a Structure Preserving mapping, a homomorphism. The Structure of the system has to stay the same when the rules are applied.
If the theory does not preserve structure the theory introduces its own theory and we are not measuring the original system.
Not only the primary theory has to be a homomorphism. The complete chain of theories we use has to preserve the structure (The Uniqueness Axioma) of the original system.
To avoid Bias a System of Measurement Scales is defined.
A video about Scales.The Hierarchy of Measurement Scales. Observe that the scales are Nested.THis means that every scale is Part of a “higher” scale and all the constraints have to be valid on a higher level. This means that C4 contains C3 etc.
a Nominal Scale defines Sets. Sets contain the Same elements. When we want to preserve structure we have to satisfy the constraint If s1 = s2 ⇔ f(s1) = f(s2) (“the Same stays the Same”). This is called the Symmetric group, the group of all Permutations of the objects in the Set.
The Ordinal Scale is part of the nominal scale. The relational structure preserved during the measurement process preserves equality and order. The set of admissible transformations are relations that satisfy the constraint If s1 < or >s2 ⇔ f(s1) < or >f(s2). This is called the Order-Preserving Group and is the group of monotonic increasing functions.
The Interval Scale has to satisfy the constraint If s1−s2 = s3−s4 ⇔ f(s1)−f(s2)=f(s3)−f(s4).This is called the General Linear Group (or Affine Group). Differences can only be preserved when the transformation is a Linear transformation Ax + B where A is a Rotation and B is Translation (Displacement).
The Ratio Scale has to satisfy the constraint If s1/s2 = s3/s4 ⇔ f(s1)/f(s2) = f(s3)/f(s4). This is called the Linear Group.The only transformation that satisfies this constraint is the functions f(x) = Ax. This means that the only tranasformation that is left is muliplication and division (“not by zero!). which is transl;lated in Expansion and Compression the object of Topology.
A short Seminar about the history of Topology and a few highly interesting applications that show you for instance why we have to leave thinking in Hierarchy and move to Topological Structures with a higher Betti-Numbers (Loops).

An introduction to Group Theory.Group theory is about “being the Same“. This is a visualization.
Figures shown in the same color are similar. A similar structure can be transformed by Rotation, Translation (Displacement) and Scaling (Multiplication), “blow up/down”).
Groups can be compared to numbers. Just like the primes the Simple Groups can be used to create other groups. The Biggest group is called the Monster.
The Geometry of the Space we live on, the Sphere, where Parallel LinesCross at the Poles. This video contains nice visualizations.
Affine Geometry, The Geometry of Linear Transformations.
Projective Geometry is about Perspective and the projective plane, the space of one-dimensional subspaces of a three dimensional vector space (lines through the origin). This view leads to Hyperbolic and Eliptic Geometry finally framed in the language of Geometric Algebra . Affine geometry is the “world” of Linear Algebra and Vector Spaces leading to Euclidean and Einstein’s (Minkovski) ,Relativistic geometry.
With Geometric Algebra you can Calculate with Shapes. Geometric algebra is a very convenient representational and computational system for geometry. It is going to be the way computer science deals with geometrical issues. It contains, in a fully integrated manner, linear algebra, vector calculus, differential geometry, complex numbers and quaternions as real geometric entities, and lots more.
Geometric Algebra brings us back to the Tetractys of Pythagoraswhich shows the Fourth triangular number which is part of the Triangle of Pascal.also called the Yang Hui in China and Mount Meru in Sanskrit. The Triangle of Pascal contains many Fractal structures that were used a very long time ago in Music (Rythms), Art & Architecture (Proportions) and Numerology (“The Art of interpreting Patterns in Numbers).
Triangular Numbers.The Tetractys (1+2+3+4=10 = 1 MOD 9) in a Mystical Vision of Jakob Böhme. In the center of the Heart you can see the Hebrew letter/numbers that are a copy of the comparable Sanskrit symbols. See the video of Kim Veltman above.
Mount Meru Prastaara. When you Want to know more about the history of Sanskrit (“krit” = the Practice) and “sans = Speaking and the influence on many cultures (~f.i. Hebrew) of the culture of ancient India look at the Video of Kim Veltman above.
Realize that the 3D version of Panarchy is also a 3D version of the Movement of the Relational Models of Alan Fiske and their related Geometries in Cognitive Space and the movement of many Concepts that share the same Worldviews of Path of Change.
Also Realize that Panarchy is a result of a theory (Cultural Theory) that is based on the same Worldviews of PoC and of Alan Fiske that can be explained by a 2×2 Matrix containing the variablesAgency and Communion that are the same as Yin and Yang.
Agency and Communion also determine the Big Five the most used Personality Classification (and many others)
Yin and Yang are also represented by 0 and 1 and therefore the Triangle of Pascal represents the many combinations of possible personalities on earth but is also a result of a completely different System (Geometries) to calculate Combinations. Think about (X>Y)**n (Affine) or (X-Y)**n (Euclidian) as an example (X>Y)**n is a Program (“Protocol”) to n times create all the possiblecombinations of X>Y.
It is therefore also not strange to call the total process of the movement of Expansion (Yin) and Compression (Yang) in space the Cosmic Breath named the Svara in Sanskrit. Svara स्वर (svara and svāra): Voice, musical note, sound; note of the musical scale, tone in recitation, accent in grammar, symbolic expression.
Hierarchy
Ished Tree in Egypt. Thot with the moon on his head (“the inventor) and Seshat with the wheel of the Seven Stars (Pleiades) and the symbol of the Bull, the daughter of Ma’at the Goddess of Balance aquire the Magic leafs of the tree.The names of the ascended ones are written on its leaves.
The Benu Bird (Phoenix, the Fire Bird) lives on the top of the ished tree. in Heliopolis. The Phoenix is recreated by the Fire of the Kundalini also represented by the Snake of Ouroboros being a Cycle that connects to itself. This fire was wellknown in antiquity.
Yggdrasill, Old Norse Mimameidr, in Norse mythology, the world tree, a giant ash supporting the universe. One of its roots extended into Niflheim, the Underworld; another into Jötunheim, land of the Giants; and the third into Asgard, home of the Gods. Asgard was according to Kim Veltman situated in Tomsk Russia.
Balance
The Egyptian Goddess Ma’at was later called Sophia (Wisdom). Ma’at is the keeper of the Underworld. She is also the keeper of the Harmony in the universe. Ma’at weights the Heart (“the center”) with her feather which carries the symbol of the nothing (“the empty set”). When the Heart weights light as a feather the human was balanced in the Heart Chakra meaning that he lived a “Good Life” and was allowed to enter Heaven. Observe that the Heart is the Controller of the Upper (Head) and the Lower (Body) Cycle of Blood (“=Life“). Observe that the human is represented by an Ape with the moon of Thot on his head.
As you can see in the picture above PG makes use of drawing Lines that connect the Point of the Eye (the Sensor) with the \Planes and Points of the Object of the Drawing. Observe that the object is a Sphere. and that the two lines connect with the sphere at the Horizon which is a line we often confuse with Infinity(“the point we will never reach”).. Also observe that the rear-end of the Sphere is invisible.
The pole of the Sphere can be connected to Parallel Lines that Never Cross. The lines connected to the eye of the artist and the Pole always have an Angle>0.
PGConnects many Points(“people”) by Lines (“Connectors“) and is there fore highly comparable with Communal Sharing of Fiske and Social of PoC.
Alberti was the first to ask what two pictures have in common if two drawing screens (Planes) are interposed between the viewer and the object, and the object is projected onto both resulting in two different pictures of the same scene. Leone Battista Alberti (1404-72) was the writer of the irst treatise, about Perspective Della pittura (1435). The solution to this problem was found in 1803 by Lazare Carnot In his book “Géométrie de Position” he proved that the so called “Cross-Ratio” is always preserved in a Projection with One Point of View.
How to unite all the geometries using a General Way of describing Lines and Points in higher dimensions. In this way the Horizon becomes a circle.
Cross-ratios are invariant under Möebius transformations. THis is a visualization.A Moebius transformation is a combination of many transformations, a reflection, a rotation, an inversion a translation and a homothety, a homogeneous dilation .Geometries are types of Transformations (Rotation, Translation, scaling, projection and )and Things that Stay the same -> Invariants (Length, Angle, parallel lines, incidence (“crossing lines”, points) and the Cross-Ratio ( a complicated way to relateLlines or Angles that have the Same Point of View) ).
about Meta Geometries
Moving one step Higher in Abstraction.
About 4D Space and Quaternions : Quaternions are the Imaginary Numbers (x, i,j,k) of 4 D Space. The Imaginary Numbers are Rotations in 3D space (x,i) . This video gives you a way to train your 4D-view by starting in Flatland being an imaginary world in 2D. A Line is a projection of a Circle that starts at Infinity which is a point at the North Pole of the Sphere.
In 1872 Felix Klein, published a new Mathematical Research Program called the Erlangen Program under the title Vergleichende Betrachtungen über neuere geometrische Forschungen.
In this program Projective Geometry was emphasized as the Unifying Frame for all other Geometries.
Although lines in the Projective Plane meet in one point of Infinity Klein argued that there could be two points of Infinity if the Projective Plane was a Surface Closed in Itself.
When we look at the Origin of Projective Geometry, the Artist painting A Sphere, Earth, on a Flat Surface, it is not difficult to realize that this Closed Surface is a Sphere. This sphere is projected on a plane that contains the imaginary numbers that are solutions of the cross-ratio when the 4 points 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 are not on a circle.
COnformal mappings are mappings that preserve angles. This video shows why the cross ratio is complex when the points are not on a circle.

12 Using The Geometry of Change
Refresh and Surprise
First I present a few Slides to refresh your knowledge about the Background of the Blog or to surprise you.
In chapter 13 start to talk about the Geometries of Change.
The issue of this chapter is to help you to think about related issues like Machines, Cybernetics, the Anticipatory System of Rosen but also about Semiotics.
You don’t have to understand everything and you can also skip as many issues as you want.
I hope you become inspired to look at the geometry with another view (“I hope the Mythic“) and see the Magic (“have you looked at . the video about “Mystic Geometry in Chapter 1″?).
The engineering method COLLIN Looks like Paths of Change. This is a >4 times Expansion of Paths of Change with the Human in the Middle and the Four types of humans that surround him/her. Here you see four types of Social Networks with a Production and Sales Cycle moving With- and Against the clock. The four Communities correspond with the four Relationship types of Alan Fiske. Remember that the four Relationships are related to four types of Geometries. This was proven by relating the Relationships to Scales of Measurement. Measurement theory (Chapter 2) is based on the idea that measurement has to be based on Structure-preserving maps from the outside (what we think we see with our senses) to the inside (what we see with our imagination which is related to an inner sensor (“the third eye”) which is the Pineal Gland).
Observe that explain means making something plane (flat) which is a projection from Knowledge (Affine Geometry) to the (flat) Image of the Imagination (Similarity Geometry). Observe also that Design (in Dutch Ont-Werp) is related to Throwing (projection) something at the right moment (ont). What target (Goal (Plan) ) do you want to hit? Realize that the energy for the projection comes out of the fusion of Complementary (Different) concepts. What is different?Not-the same. Not is a Negation.
Mind, Machines and Anticipatory Systems
Professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Anil Seth looks at the Neuroscience of Consciousness and how our biology gives rise to the unique experience of being you .This presentation is mostly about the so called the Bayesian Brain. In this theory the brain is a prediction machine that produces a “best guess” combining internal “memory” / “imagination” and external data produced by the senses. Damasio: ” Living systems are not static, but they act in the world in order to minimize surprise and persist in a future shaped by uncertainty” but humans Need Surprises to find life exiting.
“Organs are not machines” : The defining property of a living system is that it has organisational closure: every efficient cause (why, Aristotle) ) that is necessary for its continued existence must be in turn generated from within the system. The presentation We looks at organisational theories of the organism from Aristotle, via Kant, to Robert Rosen, who provided a basic relational diagram for a system with closure to efficient causation. The reason for its existence has to come from within the system and the paths that are connected by the “causes” have to connect and close.
Robert Rosen: Anticipatory System.Observe that this picture can be mapped to Paths of Change by mapping a Natural Systems to the Sensory Worldview and the Formal System to the Unity Worldview. Final Cause is the Why Question which is the Mythic Worldview. The material cause is the Social Worldview. Closure is what Will Mcwhinney called a Path.
The model of Cybersemiotics. Humans (We = I (Sensory) and/or The Other(s, Social) Exchange our models being personal interpretations of the Natural Systems we sense or are part in. This exchange can take place using a “communication-model” being the Conduit Metaphor (we exchange containers) or the Toolmaker Metaphor in which we exchange our experiences about using the models. We are an organism and we communicate using the expiriences of our outer or inner body. In t he last part we are specialized and therefore talented to experience our Inner Eye or we get insights without knowing how.
Cybersemiotics uses the Semiotics of Peirce. Peirce uses a “simple” model in which he uses 3 Stages in te proces of Meaning, The Sign , the “cause” of the Sign and the Interpretation of the Sign in the Mind.
About 1st, 2nd and 3rdness x 1st, 2nd and 3rdness = 9 correlates.

A lot of Questions and Observations of Soren Brier trying to find a new foundation for the sciences. It will not help you to find certainty. Perhaps it wil sharpen your questions or doubts.
Another presentation of Soren Brier: The Cybersemiotic star: A diagram of how the communicative social system of embodied minds‟ four main areas of knowledge arises. Physical nature is usually explained as originating in energy and matter, sometimes also information. living systems as emerging from the development of life processes (such as the first cell). Social culture is explained as founded on the development of meaning and power in language and practical habits, and, finally, our inner mental world is explained as deriving from the development of our individual life world and consciousness, in spiritual and religious framework often ultimately from an objective transcendental spirit or as a soul coming from a personal creator God.
Atopoiesis
An interview with Niklas Luhman in German but translated into English. Luhmann has tried to incorporate the idea of autopoiesis (self-reproduction) in sociology. He proves that Social Systems reproduce themselves and are therefore highly resistent to change.
Autoiesis is about Self-Reproduction or Repairduring Production. Neil Theise loops from makro-levels to micro-levels of what we call reality. He explains complexity, autopoiesis,positive &negative feedback-loops, cancer and how all that relates to us in the universe and the universe in us? Why ants move away from their territory to come back when they have found the food that is needed.
The presentation behind the link above explains the theory of Robert Rosen in combination of the theory of George Lakoff. For the last one move below. For the first one explore this blog about Meta-Engineering. As you will see is that the presentation tells a comparable story as Chapter 2 about measurement in the way that it explains that a model is a mapping from something we experience outside with our senses (A natural system) or with our instruments and we have to make a structure preserving mapping to avoid that we introduce a bias with our measurement instruments.
Paths of Change mapped on Kolb Learning Styles In this picture you can see what a Closure means, a path connecting the four worldview. Know that the arrows can also move the other way around and every Box is a PoC-model in itself. Thats way PoC is a Fractal System of Change. Body and Mind are connected by the Heart and are centers of cycles where the four views/types move around. The four views with one shared view create the “magic” number seven (3+1+3) . Observe that the cycles move with and against the clock creating the well known Moebius Ring (8). This model maps on the Indian Model of the Chakra’s and the Chinese Median Points. Service above Self is the motto of the Rotary where ROTAR is a permutation of TAROT.
The history of the Tarot. Rob Doctors van Leeuwen was visited by an Angel who asked him to do research about the pattern of the Tarot. He (and his brother Onno) detected two new cards called Truth (Blue) and Intuition (Yellow)Paths of Change used in a model about the Production Cycle.
A picture out of my Blog about a new Ecology of the State that unites Panarchy, ALan Fiske and Paths of Change. It is an application of the Geometries. The most important Worldview is Yellow and was called Mythic by Will McWhinney in his book Paths of Change. Mythic relates to Intuitive in the myers Briggs Model: “Intuitive people live in the future and are immersed in the world of Possibilities. They process information through patterns and impressions. Intuitive people value inspiration and imagination. They gather knowledge by reading between the lines. Their abstract nature attracts them toward deep ideas and concepts”
The first thing you have to realize is that you have been looking at pictures that describe the same subject with different names. All of them are about Change and Change looks like Breathing <-.-> (Contract/Expand). Below you see the Expansion Pattern of “nothing”/. This pattern is controlled by the Trinity, the number 3 and the Triangel. This pattern is called the Bronze Mean. It is a specialization of the Golden mean. The bronze mean contains a very important number 43.
The center is the Empty set (Yellow), the Nothing, the Foundation of creativity. Desire (Female) and Control (Male) create a child (Communion) Left you see Adam Kadmon the first Human and the Tree of Knowledge.
By playing with the Arrows (->) Expansion (Red) and Compression (Blue) are reproduced. The other 2 combinations create The Emotions (Green) and Creativity (Yellow).
The first picture of this paragraph contains a Cycle connected to another Cycle where both cycles move in opposite direction showing the well known Moebius Ring (8). The model contains a center that contains the model of the whole. This is called a fractal. When you compare this model with other models look at the colors. I have used the same colors of PoC all the time.
13 About Affine Geometry, Maps, Metaphors and Mappings
In the model of the Geometry of Change you see that Blue, named Unity in PoC and Knowledge in other models is called an Affine Geometry and is connected the concept Rank and the Constraint If s1 < or >s2 ⇔ f(s1) < or >f(s2) which is called the Order-Preserving Group. Knowledge is an Order but what order?
The solution to this puzzle can be found at the beginning of this blog where you read the sentence “The role of Higher Dimensions in Physics and Mathematics”. The concept Dimension is used to define a Ranking of Spaces.
Higher Dimensions are represented as Projections on a Plane. This 2D plane could be called a Scape (taken out of out of Land-scape).
George Lackoff researched the brain and detected that the Brain is based on the Body (“Embodiment”). When we are young we learn that it is difficult to learn to find balance to stand right up and to move. Thats why Up (Higher) is better dan Lower (Down). Thats why Heaven is Up and Hell is Down. Thats why a Tree is a Symbol of Knowledge. George also discovered that we always make represent ations of what we think. When we try to represent an abstract concept we use a prototype (one out of the set). He also found out that Our brain uses Frames to interact with the outside world: About Framing. This is also the subject of Goffman.
14 About Euclidian Geometry, Distance and the Horizon
In the picture above you see the Horizon. Horizon is related to Horizontal, a line that is perpendicular to a line that moves from Up to Down or Back. the horizon is an Illusion because we live on a Globe. Behind the Horizon we see nothing but we know that there is something behind the Horizon. In our Perspective the Horizon is the place where parallel lines Cross. The word horizon derives from the Greek “ὁρίζων κύκλος” horizōn kyklos, “separating circle”,[3] where “ὁρίζων” is from the verb ὁρίζωhorizō, “to divide”, “to separate”,[4] which in turn derives from “ὅρος” (oros), “boundary, landmark. The horizon is a symbol for infinity (“the place we never will reach” but also something we can find wen we keep on moving at the right direction.
About Deep Learning & Euclidian and Non-Euclidian Shapes.
This video explains Neural Networks using Graphs that are able to recognize Non-Euclidian Objects.
About Scapes and Meta-Systems.
Below you see a picture and a presentation of Kent Palmer. He found out that the term Scape (Schap in Dutch) we use in Landscape is used to imagine a “flat plane” . In dutch and english scape is also translated into ship (“Friendship, vriendschap) being a relationship that carries as a tray, something to hold something.
Perspectives are about seeing something but seeing is used as an insight. We look at our personal frame.
A Few years ago I gave a presentation about Context to Software-architects about Mikhail Bahktin: The Wordwide Carnival: A Short Introduction into the World of Mikhail Bakhtin. He was a Russian Philosopher that was put into a Goelag-camp by stalin. He was an expert in Dialog and what he called the Chronotope: “The place where the knots of narrative are tied” or “the intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spatial relationships”.
This blog is an Extension of the last chapter of my blog about the Future of the State.
In this blog I come to the conclusion that the State makes The Rich Richer and the Poor poorer.
The main reason is that the State is an Aristocracy that looks like a Democracy.
The State is a Contradictio in terminis: It accomplishes the Opposite it wants to accomplish.
The main reason is that the managers of the state believe in controlling everything instead of Self-Organization (P-Anarchy).
As you will later see in this blog this effect is the result of Dualism which is the foundation of Current Science. This problem is solved in Complexity Science, the Subject of this Blog.
I have transformed the last chapter of this blog into a new blog. called The Geometry of Change.
This blog is not a scientific article but a collage that contains many intellectual surprises.
Four Cycles that are Agents prepare you for Chapter 1: Cycles where I show you that Life is a Cyclic process and that many other processes are cyclic.
This has to do with the many Rotatingsystems there are. The four colors represent the many static views on cyclic processes. Agents are the object of Complexity Theory. When Agents are seen as the cause of an effect on another Agent they are called an Event or seen as a living being.
Observe that the agents are rotating With and Against the Clock. A combination of both is a Moebius Ring (looks like 8).
A good example of a Rotating System is the Weather System. This system rotates because the Earth and the Moon Rotate . In this picture you can see the Potential, the Sum of the entering Radiation Energy of the Sun and the Reflection on Earth. Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, Earth’s rotation is slowing slightly with time; This is due to the tidal effects the rotating Moon has on Earth’s rotation.
The climate of the earth fluctuates because of the many stages the cycles are in. We are now in a local warming period but it looks like we are moving to a new ice-age.
this Blog discusses a Design for an Alternative of he City and/or the State based on the idea that they are an Ecology. An Ecology Dies when there is not enough Diversity. The same applies to a City or a State. You are diverse when you are Different.
For more info about what an Ecology is see Chapter 3. Below you can see the Design.
The Monitor (the Observer, the X in the Middle of the Cross) takes care of the Balance in the City/ or State.Its task is to prevent that one of the Views on the World becomes Dominant. This view is probably the “Management Control View” (Blue, Smart City) ). The Control View is the view of Reductionism. Reductionism is the paradigm behind current Science.
The monitor represents the Whole which is the subject of Complexity Science. Complexity theory, emphasizes adaptation, self‐organization and embraces the idea that there is no central control or master plan.
As you can see the Monitor shares the same Structure with the Whole. This is called a Fractal. The Fractal pattern never stops . It could stop when the structure is too Small. The Set-Point is the desired value for an essential variable that represents the Homeostasis of the City/State.
About Rotating Rotations
Cycles are everywhere. They are the result of Rotating systems. The Kubler Ross Transition Curve. The Kubler Ross model shows how people react after a major calamity (Like the COVID Pandemia) after Denial people get Angry , move into a Depression and get an Insight after the situation moves back to the Set Point. Observe that this model is the same model as Paths of Change.This is a Rotating Cycle Generator based on the model of PoC (Paths of Change ( see Chapter.4. In this picture you can See that every Step in the Cycle represents another State of the 5-pointedModel that represents possible Points of View. Every combination of Points of View (PoV) represents an Action. Every rotation represents an E-motion. The 5-pointed model is based on the ChineseSheng-Cycle hat was based om the Lo-Shu a 3×3 Magic Square that has the 5 in the Middle and a sum of 15=1+2+3+4+5=3×5 .
Observe that the Wheel of Time is propagating itself by exploding at the right moment just like a motor . This explosion is the Fusionof the Aha-erlebnis, the Feeling of Discovery.
Observe that the 5th view is called Whole (white). It is the center of the system (Monitor) put into the System itself. Putting a whole in a whole is called a fractal.
The Sheng Cycle with an inner- and outer cycle showing the fractal pattern of the five in the middle . The 5 states are related to the Sun Cycle with a special Season in the Middle of the 5 sometimes called Late Summer, Indian Summer or the Autumn of the Geese. Observe that the five seasons are not only connected in a Mother->Childchain(1>2->3->4->5->1->) but are also connected with a delay of (2) called the Mother->Grandmother-chain (1>3>5>2>4->1->).
About Ancient Civilizations
In this short introduction I show you the very rich knowledge of Ancient Civilizations that already existed > 620.00 BC. They contain the roots of the concept of the state but also of the many conflicts we are totally not aware of that are now hidden behind the walls of Religion.
The Geometrie of Creation. The geometries are used as frames to draw the letters of the Alphabet.. Rudolf Laban Space Harmony -The letters are represented by (geometric) pPatterns movements and sounds. They are the Foundation of the old Cultures on earth. The old cultures give us insight in the ways the State and the cities were Organized. In their organization the Ancient patterns play an important role.
A briljant Librarian Kim Veltman researched all the Symbol-Sytems on earth starting 620.000 BC. Sadly he died 1-4-2020.
This blog starts with a few pictures and links to related articles about Urban Ecologies and some quotes and interesting video’s about Complexity Science which is the Toolset I try to Use in this blog.
About Urban Ecologies
The models of Urban Ecologies are Control/Cybernetic Systems.
After the models I explain what Complexity Science is about using two PDF’s, 2 citations and a video of Stuart Kaufman, Nassim Taleb and Robert Sapolski.
After the video’s I present a List of Chapters with a short description of the content of the chapters and Chapter 0: Introduction which is the “real” beginning of this blog .
Complexity Science is not about the Parts but about the Whole. The Notes are not the Music played with the notes. The Meal is not the recipe. The City is not its Citizens
The basic components of a complex adaptive systems are called agents. They are typically conceived as ‘black box’ systems, meaning that we know the rules that govern their individual behaviour, but we do not care about their internal structure.
Stuart Kaufmann:Reinventing the Sacred:The science of complexity moves beyond reductionism to something new: a unified culture where we see God in the creativity of the universe, biosphere, and humanity – changing the way we all think about the evolution of humanity, the universe, faith, and reason.
Nassim Taleb:“We have the illusion that the world functions thanks to programmed design, university research, and bureaucratic funding, but there is compelling — very compelling — evidence to show that this is an illusion. Technology is the result of antifragility, exploited by risk-takers in the form of tinkering and trial and error. Engineers and tinkerers develop things while history books are written by academics; we will have to refine historical interpretations of growth, innovation, and many such things. … The error of naive rationalism leads to overestimating the role and necessity of … academic knowledge, in human affairs — and degrading the uncodifiable, more Complex, intuitive, or experience-based type”.
This is an example of the PoC-cycle (see chapter 4 ) where you can see what Nassim Taleb means.He believes in Intuition, Active Experimentation and Cocncrete Experience both a Kolb Learning Style. About Stuart Kaufmann: Intuition (Insight, Yellow) is related to Creativity and the Holy Spirit different from God the Father.
A Poc-Cycle is a Fourfold Cycle with or without a Center in the Cross in de Middle.This picture contains a summary of all the chapters of this blog until 27 10 2020 in a Path of Change (A fractal 4-fold-Cycle). It shows that Anti-Fragility Fuses Differences and jumps to a Higher Level of the Ecology (also a 4-fold cycle (within the Circles) with a new Rythm until the Ecology relapses and stores its Seeds in a new Territory where Cooperation is possible. Observe that the Greek word for Power is Cratos being a part of DemoCracy, Power to the People (Green, Social, Cooperation). In this picture the arrow is from People(Social, Green) to Power (Ranking) meaning “Priority to the People“. The arrow is part of a cycle that contains >16 steps.
About Panarchy
Below you can find a picture that tries to explain Panarchy (see chapter 3). The colors are a link to PoC (chapter 4). A pandemic is the result of a jump (Revolt) from a Virus part of the Human Body-Ecology to a Social Network (and further a City).
A model of the Panarchy Cycle (See Chapter 3).The cycle contains 3 layers. Each layers contains 2 connected cycles that are 4fold (see Poc chapter 4) with a center (Total 4+1=5).Every cycle is a nirror of the other. The total cycle (Path of Change (PoC) in this picture contains (6 x 5=) 30 steps.

0. Introduction
How spontaneous synchronization works.
In this blog I am trying to find out if it is possible to use Complexity Theory to design a FairSelf Organizing Structure to replace the State.
To do that I reuse a blog about Anti-Fragility and the theory of Panarchy that is made to explain an Ecology.
In the end of this blog I will use all the acquired knowledge to design a new model for a State and a City.
1. About Cycles:
A Cycle is a Selforganizing System. We experience many Cyclic processes like Day and Night and the Seasons.
virtually everything that happens on Earth runs in cycles—our climate, the markets, political systems, societies, wars, financial ups-and-downs, etc. Our ancestors have known this for centuries.
“Practically all living processes are organised in cycles. The organism is thick with biological rhythms ranging from periods of split seconds for electrical activities of brain cells to seconds such as the heart-beat and respiration, to periods which are circadian and circannual. But no one has ever been able to explain why that should be.
The answer is provided by thermodynamics. It turns out that symmetrically coupled cycles are the key to both the conservation of coherent energy and compensation (or cancelling out) of entropy within the system so that living organisation is maintained.
As one cycle of activity is running down, it is charging up a second cycle, so that the role can be reversed later. Similarly, as disorder is created in some part of the system, a kind of superorder appears in elsewhere, which can restore order to the first part” (Mae Wan Ho).
Observe that MAe Wan Ho uses a theory that explains Anti-Fragility (“Order out of Disorder“) called Thermodynamics. Mae Wan Ho wrote this text long before the concept Anti-fragility was invented. Thermodynamics comes back in Chapter 8.
This is a diagram representing the nested cycles that span all space-time scales, the totality of which make up the life cycle of the organism. The life cycle has a self-similar fractal structure, so if you magnify each cycle, you will see that it has smaller cycles within, looking much the same as the whole. Fractal dynamics are the hallmarks of natural processes and are especially fit for the organisation of living systems.Two Symmetrically Coupled Cycles.
The Life Cycle of the Organism consists of a self-similar fractal structure of cycles.
Jeremy England is a Professor of Physics who uses Thermo Dynamics to explain Life. He detected that a Closed System (Earth, the Ocean) connected to another closed System that produces Energy (Sun) creates random-structures that look like Life. Jeremy is an Orthodox jewish Rabbi.
About Cycles (part 2):
At a certain point in time Humans detected the cyclic processes in the Night Sky that took more than a life-time to return to their beginning. They found he Cycle of the Precession of the Equinox.
observe that a lot of the CyclesRotate around other Cycles. A rotating rotation is a Spiral.
The State and the City, the Mother of the state, are not alone a Boundary in Space but are also a Cyclic System .that synchronizes with all the other Cyclic systems in its environment(Growth Cycle of Agriculture, Sun cycle, Seasons, Moon Cycle/ Menstruation Cycle, Great Cycle of the Precession, ..).
New Grange , older than Stonehenge, is a Passage Tomb situated in County Meath in Ireland. It is decorated with the Spiral of Life found in many other ancient places. The burial ground is aligned with the Winter Solstice. For more info about the Spiral of Life see chapter 2.The First Cycle is the Cycle of the Triple Goddess and her Moon-Cycle . The year Cycle of Father the Sun , Nature, is the cycle of the Medicin Wheel. The four Animals come back as symbols of the Four Evangelists.The Second Cycle is the Cycle of Sumer and Egypt , the Sun ,(Atum) controls the Day and the Seasons. the Stars control the night (Zodiac) and the Moon controls the Magic of Thoth . The Zodiac comes back as the Twelve Apostles. Magic is an example of entrainment.Around 500 BC The Five Innovators of the Human Inner Space (Yellow) appeared and started the Great Transformation., This started the weekly cycle of Religion, The second transformation came with the creation of Islam, the Religion of the Collective and the Emotions(Green) .The next step is the Religion of the Body and the Senses (Red) (Osho, New Age). The United Nations and the creation of the Human Rights gave the people at the end of the 2nd world-war hope that we would enter a long period of Peace and Prosperity. They forgot the Great and Cruel Dictator Stalin. At the the end of his empire, with the opening of the Berlin Wall people hoped we would start the Long Boom . Now China is becoming number one. Will this benefit the World?
In this blog I introduce Complexity Theory (CT) to design a new type of State, the Self Organizing State or city. CT shows that when we Stop controlling a system It will Self-organizes.
Humans contain cells, contain molecules contain atoms etc etc. The organizing principle repeats until the deepest level ,the vacuum but it also moves up until Cities States and the Earth.
Neil Theise: About Complexity Theory: A City and a State are an example of a Self-organizing System.untill we Humans start to Organize and create Traffic Jams and Depressions.
This video provides a basic introduction to the science of complex systems, focusing on Patternsin nature. The most simple rule is Copying behavior although copying behavior can be the result of Entrainment which is the result of being the same (alike) and connected to a shared Sensable (by the Brain) connection-infrastructure. A Synchronized Brain produces Theta Waves that are also produced when a Human is in Deep Trance.
This blog contains examples of a new model for the State and the City who was the Mother of the State.
This model is based on the model of Panarchy. Panarchy is a model of an Ecology.
If you are only interested in the model move to Chapter 12.
I hope you already believe that the State is an Ecology. If you believe this please realize that Complexity Theory tells you that you have to Trust the Self-Organizing power of the State. So stop organizing and Remove the Barriers of all the control systems.
There is a special Linkedin-Group created for people who want to discuss the future of the State.
I have started this blog September 9 2020 . It is intended as the last chapter of my already finished blog About the Future of the State.
In my blog About the Future of the State (“the initial blog“) I have given a lot of information about what is going wrong with the Constitutional State and many theories about how states work.
The biggest problem is that the Constitutional State is controlled by an Aristrocratic Elite organized as a Tribe that profits from the Power and the Taxsystem of the State.
Many International or local Conflicts are Tribal Conflicts.
The highly needed Redistribution of the Wealth from the Rich to the Poor in the economy does not take place. The rich get Richer and the `Poor get Poorer.
Thomas Piketty is in favor of high taxes for rich people but most of all of free and good Education for Everybody. One of his examples is Theodore RooseveltsNew Deal.
2. Latour and the Parliament of Things:
The most interesting link in the initial blog is a Statement called How to Think as a Stateof the French Philosopher Bruno Latour to the WRR a Scientific advisoryBoard to the King of the Netherlands about the Future of the State.
In the PoT humans organisms, lakes, mountains cars and other things are represented.
PoT is a concept that questions the way we organize our State. It questions also what a representional democracy really represents. Does it represent all things that are born and die including the animals that have no language or is the system of representation a simulator that hides the Games we Play.
3. The State is an Ecology that is part of the World-System:
Latour gave me the idea that the State is an Ecology.
An Ecology is a Complex multi-layered RedistributionSystem that contains a wide array of interacting levels of organization spanning micro-level (e.g., cells, humans) to a planetary scale (e.g., biosphere).
If you want, replace in this definition the components of the Ecology with the components of the City or the State and see what you get. Do you miss something?.
The Windows of the Cathedral of Chartres shows the Spiral of Time.The spiral is explained by the Glass-in-Lead Windows that contains a Story that describes a Step in the Spiral
The Spiral of Time in Chartres Cathedral now shown as a Maze . The place you stop in the Maze looks at the correspondingWindow.
An explaining theory of the State is called World System Theory (WST).In this case the state is a System (a World, the domain of Man), a Boundary in Space/Time that operates at the level of the Earth.
The five Geographic boundaries . with China in the Center.
If you look below at the pictures and read this you will see that the kondratiev-wave is in its 5th state with the color White and the subject Whole. The wave will be at its top around 2050.
The technology in this phase is called Global Brain. Gobal Brain has a lot to do with what now is called Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI has a lot to with the Big Brother State that is now created in China.
A Cycle contains a cycle (Overtones) and contains 5 Stages (Red (Intensity)->Blue (Order)-> Yellow (Crativity -> (Green (Social)-> White (Whole, Center )-> Red. In the pictures below the colors refer to the same Descriptions of the Stages.The stages can be explained by the theory of Paths of Change (PoC).In this picture you see the Kondratiev cycle after every iteration of the wave of 50 year starting 1740 ending 2040.Every step can be divided in 5 steps and every step can also be divided in 5 steps creating different Cycles with different names.The Technology Cycle related to the Kondratiev with a Periodicity of 52 yrs.Starting with the Factory of Taylor ending with the Global Brain in 2050.
]
The kondratiev Cycle is represented as a Spiral and is related to the Meta-Narrative (Chronotope) of Bahktin and PoC by their colors.
Blue is the color of the Law of Rome and Red is the color of he Actions of Alexander who conquered almost the complete World at his time. Yellow is the color of Spirit seen in The rise of Art in the Renaissance and the Rise of Christianity.
Green is the color of Social related to Social conflicts like the French Revolution. White is the color of the Center (The Whole) . White is always combined with a New World Religion. It could be related to the return of the Maitreaexpected in many Religions.
There have been three kinds of historical systems across human history: “mini-systems” or what anthropologists call bands, tribes, and small chiefdoms, and two types of world-systems, one that is politically unified and the other is not (single state world empires and multi-polity world economies). World-systems are larger, and are ethnically diverse. The modern world-system, a capitalist world-economy, is unique in being the first and only world-system, which emerged around 1450 to 1550, to have geographically expanded across the entire planet, by about 1900.
It is defined, as a world-economy, in having many political units tied together as an interstate system and through its division of labor based on capitalist enterprises.
The Tribes never leave their State even when the states have grown into very big structures.
In the current capitalistic system many “tribes” (for instance the Oligarchs of russia) use the income of the state they control to fight their battles. These battles are now mostly faught using highly intelligent technology and weapons.
About the book the Great Transformation of Poliany. Polanyi explains that the modern market economy and the modern nation-state should be understood not as discrete elements but as the single human invention he calls the “MarketSociety”. See Chapter 4 of PoC and look at the game of the market (Sensory(Red) <->Social (reen). Prior to the great transformation, people based their economies on Reciprocity and Redistribution (Tax) across Personal and Communal relationships. During the great transformation land, labor and money got a price. look at Chapter 5 About the Worldviews of Alan Fiske at he Market Pricing Social Relationship.
About Panarchy:
Panarchy is a Fractal Model of an Ecology that can be represented by an adaptive cycle of four distinct phases: growth or exploitation (r) conservation (K) collapse or release (omega) reorganization (alpha).
The Theory of Panarchy is used in many of my blogs. One of them is a Blog about Anti-Fragility called How to Benefit from Disorder and a Dutch version about the same issue. I will reuse these blogs.
Anti-Fragility happens when an Ecology moves Up (Revolt) to a New Fractal level. The opposite (Going Down) is called Remember. In this state the ecology saves some of its state in a place that acts as a Memory out of which o a Copy of the old state can be regenerated. This place is called a Sacred Grove.
A Sacred Grove is often a Sacred Place in a Wood. An example is the Cathedral of Chartres that was a sacred place for the Druids of the Celts.
In the UP-state The Ecology becomes Bigger and Slower in its Cyclic Frequency.
As a consequence of the periodic, but transient phases of Destruction (omega stage) and Reorganization (alpha stage), a system’s Structure and processes can be Reorganized.
This reshuffling allows for the establishment of new system configurations and opportunities for the incorporation of exotic and entirely novel entrants into the system. The adaptive cycle explicitly introduces mutations and rearrangements.
An Ecology is a Fractal CyclicAdaptiveInnovation System.
Example of a Sacred Grove. The Tree where Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons got his vision.
The Climate Cycle is a Fourfold Cycle because of the Cyclic Motion of the Globe of the Earth combined with a cycle around the sun. Water is crucial for Life.This model shows that the Weather or the Climate can be used to understand the State. The State like the Economy is going through all the stages of the weather. Many scientists have used the seasons as analogs for the states of the Economy. When you follow the Arrows in the picture you will see the Panarchy Cycle going around in the Horizontal plane with and against the clock and going Up and Down in the Vertical Plane.
Panarchy is a conceptual framework created by Gunderson and Holling to account for the dual, and seemingly contradictory, characteristics of all complex systems – stability and change.
Panarchy is a contradictory system. It fuses what cannot be fused .
the 2D version of Panarchy is determinated by Potential (Wealth) and Connectedness.
A highly connected system is very fragile when the system is hit by a calamity The Climate-crisis is an example.When a A highly connected system fails this is called the Domino-effect. The Domino is modelled by the Self-Orgnized Criticallity theory of Per Bak. This theory shows that the Probability Distribution of a calamity is not a Bell Curve but a Power Law.Black Swans vs Dragon Kings.Coupling The Same generates Synchronization.
About Powers Laws.
Panarchy is the study of how Economic growth and Human development depend on Biological ecosystems and Socialinstitutions, and how they interact.
It is an integrative framework, bringing together ecological,economic and social models of change and stability, to account for the complex interactions among both these different areas, and different scale levels.
“No system can be understood or managed by focusing on it at a single scale. All systems exist and function at multiple scales of space, time and social organization, and the interactions across scales are fundamentally important in determining the dynamics of the system at any particular focal scale. This interacting set of hierarchically structured scales has been termed a “panarchy” (Gunderson and Holling 2003).
Panarchy shows that a Government that wants to optimize the State seen as an ecology will end up with a Decay of this state.
The only thing that helps is not to interfere and follow the cycle, as you can see in the picture below where every step moves between opposites (“tensions, “polarities “).
Want to know more about opposites : read this blog about Logic and Alchemy.
4. About Paths of Change:
Paths of Change (PoC) is a theory and a model about Change.
The model of Paths of Change is a 2D Fourfold pattern of Opposites called a Quaternion by Jung.
In this Chapter you will find many Paths (of Change) related to many Subjects in which PoC is used. Remember the PoC was known by the Hunter Gatherers.
Poc is used to design a Typology of Banks.The model of Paths of Change (PoC) is a Theory of Change discovered by Will McWhinney. In this blog the 4 colors of PoC called a Worldview are used to make a connection to the theory. It is called PoC because every Change is a combination of a Cyclic Combination of Points of View (Worldviews). Will McWhinney called the Paths Games like the Analytical Game (Sensory/Unity vice/versa). There are 2-step Games but also 5 step Games (for instance the Drama Triangle). A model of the Human Personality based on PoC. The Human Personality model rotates Against and With the Clock. These Rotations are called Introvert and Extravert. The model also has an Observer-state. When the Points of View repeat the Human has a Mental Ilness.Paths of Change is a fractal theory which means that the model of PoC can be used on itself . Every Square can be divided in Four Squares that can again be divided in four Squares ad infinitum. The Pyramid of Maslow as a PoC-Structure. The Holmes Event Scale as a Trigger for Calamities.The kubler Ross Transition Curve is a pattern that shows how the Four World Views of the Emotions react to a Calamity. A Calamity triggers a Spring, which is a model of the Emotions. The white line is called the Setpoint. The Setpoint is the Middle of the cycle. How the Emotions (Social) react to a Calamity. in a cycle that rotates with the clock (generative cycle) This picture shows that the Emotions are a Fractal System.ALthough the pattern looks like a Causal Chain the parts of the chain can be triggered by a Central Clock that triggers the parts at the same time.To make this possible the Internal Clcok has to synchronize with an external clock. Every Point of View relates to a special type of social network.
The Chinese Five Element Cycle contains five Elements and many ways to connect the five elements (Nourishing, Controlling and Reductive). The Five Element cycle is a Four Elements Cycle with the Middle (the Center) included.
The Chinese Five Element Cycle is generated out of a 3×3 Magic Square called the Lo Shu. The World Views are the Classical Elements with the colors of Poc. The Cycle contains two Paths of Change. One in the Center and one on the Outside. There are Five Worldviews (4+1) where the 5th is the Center (called Earth, the middle of the Cross that connects the other four views. , in this pattern a view is connected to two other world views one direct and the other 2 steps further. The middle of the circle is a Pentacle.Lo Shu on the back of a Turtle. The Turtle is the symbol of the Starsystem Orion. The middle is 5 and the sum is 15 (3×5) = 1+2+3+4+5.
Wheel of Time and Order in the Dream of wolfgang Pauli comparable to the vision of Ezekiel. .The Four Beings look like the Four Animals of the Zodiac and the four animals of the Medicine Wheel all related to the World Views that rotate perpendicular to eachother.The Chinese Sheng Cycle with Five Elements/Worldviews where the 5th worldview is the Center connected to a special Season Late Summer sometimes called Indian Summer. It is the Season in the Middle I have added Communion and Agency that can be transformed into Yang (Agency) and Yin Communion).
Observe that the Center of the Pentacle is a 180 Degrees rotated Pentacle. In this sub-Pentacle the Pattern Repeats until infinity. This shows the fractal nature of this model. Fractal (“Self Reference“) means that a Model repeats itself in the model. This principle was called As Above So Below .The Ouroboros: Self Reference.The Sheng Cyc;le as a generator of waves related to the Human Set Point and the directions of the Point of View (called Elements). The Emotions point down. The Senses look at the Outside world looking back. The Imagination looks up. The Mind creates the future by making a Plan or have an Expectation. In the middle the Triangle of the Creator Stone (Saturm) surrounded by 7 Planets and the Four Animals. This picture shows that the Moebius Ring of Panarchy is a combination of Games that combines Two Cycles that move With- and Against the Clock. With the Clock is called the generative or Producing cycle the other way araound is destructructive or Consuming Cycle.
5. About the Roots of Panarchy: Cultural Theory:
The Four Metaphors of Cultural Theory mapped on a Mathematical Model.
The matrix pictured here, adapted from Michiel Schwarz and Michael Thompson (1990), is one presentation of a typology of worldviews called cultural theory.
It plots acceptance of social controls (on the vertical axis) and levels of social commitment (on the horizontal axis). In the quadrants, the worldviews or rationalities depicted are alternatively described as archetypes, ways of life, social solidarities, and myths or caricatures of nature.
“We postulate that these four ways of life are in conflict in every conceivable domain of social life,” write Michael Thompson and Marco Verwell (2004). “Each of the four ways of life consists of a specific way of structuring social relations and a supporting cast of particular beliefs, values, emotions, perceptions, and interests.”
“In the end, every type of social conflict is about types of organization,” writes anthropologist Mary Douglas (2006). “Why do we settle for four types? Because this model is at once parsimonious and it is comprehensive. A hundred, or a million, types of cultural bias may be out there. But for explanatory value three, four or five types of social environment are enough to generate three, four or five distinct cosmologies.”
“Each rationality will generate its own distinctive engineering aesthetic: its own definition of the good, the beautiful and the socially desirable,” write Schwarz and Thompson (1990). “Our concern, therefore, should not be with which one is right (for that would be to insist that just one rationality had access to ‘the truth’) but rather with which is appropriate to the task at hand.”
The Four Views of Fiske are Four World-views Viewing at the Social Worldview (also being the Emotions).
(1): Communal Sharing: This is a Social Social group. People live together and Share things. People are treated as equivalent and undifferentiated. “What’s mine is thine; what’s thine is mine”. Fairness is important in such groups and appealing to values may be the best way to persuade. Conflict may be dealt with through mediation and others methods that seek consensus.
The Sensory view on Social Fiske calls a (2):Market=Pricing-relationship. We call this a Company. or a Community of Practice. I have repeated the picture of the Sensory view below.
As you can see a City is an expansion of the Sensory (red) view when we see a City as an Actor or Organism.
Scientists of the Santa Fe institute have found that a city behaves as an organism or a Super-organism.
(3): Equality Matching: Equality matched relationships generally collaborate around Shared goals and help one another. Relationships are reciprocal and have equal value. People treat fairly those who treat them fairly. See Tit-for-Tat as the solution of the Iterated Prisoners Dilemma.
4:Authority RankingSocial groups are arranged with a hierarchy of power. The top of the pyramid protects the lower layers.
Fiske found out that his Relational Models have a lot in common with the Scales used in Measurement Theory. We measure others the same way we measure objects and situations.
Scales are not only instruments to determine a Measurement-strategy. Scales are also ladders that bring you higher to get a better Point-of-View. This view is always blocked by the Horizon, the Point of Infinity.
The scales can be ordered in a cycle that looks like the cycle of Panarchy. The Scales and therefore the Social relations and therefore PoC and Panarchy can be related to four different Geometries.
Fiske and later Bolender found out “that there is a truly fundamental self-organizing physical process (symmetry braking) underlying social relationships that has hitherto been ignored,” They form a descending, nested series with successively fewer degrees of uniqueness (There are fewer ‘admissible’ transformations which preserve the same information).
Another explanation can be found in the spatial structure of the human body. In this context an important reference must be the work by Samuel Todes, especially his dissertation -published in 2001 by MIT Press and titled “Body and World.”.
Another explanation can be found in the Embodiment-theory of the group of George Lackof.
About Body & World.Hubert Dreyfus for a discussion of why machines cannot become human. In their discussion, they talk about the role of philosophy in clarifying what it means to be human. Hubert explains his calling and calling in general.
Humans learn about the other by copying. This faculty has been named mirror-neurons but is stil in discussion.
Another explanation is mutual entrainment, the tendency of coupled oscillators to fall into step that is widely observed in mechanical and biological systems.
EntrainmentThe model of Relationship of Fiske contains the Four Worldviews on Social. This picture contains the rotation against the Clock. (Consuming, Creative). The cycle with the clock is called the Productive Cycle. Both cycles are complementary wich means that they annihilate when they are connected (“Social”) . The energy of the fusion (Bisociation) generates the Light of Insight. The Spiritual Cycle of Walter Russell.The Cycle of with a rotation with the clock of the Emotions caused by a Calamity. THis model is comparable to the Kubler Ross-model (see Below). Observe that a calamity acts as a Spring.The Relationshipmodel of Fiske related to PoC. The development of the Scales follows the proces of Panarchy. About extensive and intensive measures . an intensive quantity is one whose magnitude is independent of the size of the system. This is a definition of continuous data. Examples of Scales.The Ratio Scale uses a Ruler. It measures a Length. an Interval Scale measures a Distance THe Ordinal Scale measures a Rank and the Nominal Scale measures A the names of a List of the same Objects. (Being Part of The cities of the Netherlands). The order of the objects is not important). The list can be permuted (put in a different order).
The mathematical theory of Projective Geometry is a spin-off of the discovery of PerspectiveDrawing in the Renaissance. Drawing is a combination of Sensing and Action (Sensory-Motor-cortex).
This is The Perspectograph of Leonardo Da Vinci. The painter looks with one Eye through a Hole.
In Euclidian Geometry parallel lines don’t cross . Non-Eulidean Space is Curved. In every space the Sum of the Angles of the Triangel are different. Every Perspective has his own Horizon.
There is much reason to believe that what is called Revolt in Panarchy and Design in PoC is called Anti-Fragility (AF) by Nassim Taleb
AF is the art of directing an enormous frustrated diversity (mythic, yellow) towards a common Goal (unitary, blue). This happens in revolutions in which the frustrated disadvantaged popular masses (green) want to conquer the position of the rulers (blue).
AF causes a transition between two (eco) systems in which a new higher order arises. The new order has a slower rhythm, slower, because it has lost the flexibility of the lower order and has a greater range.
The revolution has filled the bureaucracy of the old structures with those who were out of order. In essence, little changes (the iron law of the oligarchy). The new order has found a different concept for the diversity that is under pressure. An example is the transition from the unicellular to the multicellular organism that in its unicellular state had to go against the current to gather food and now just waits for the useful resources to come along.
As long as the new plan, model is only present in the mind, the model is scale independent (“a vision or a philosophy”). As soon as one starts making the design (Blue / red / -> make), one will have to fall back on what is available or design and build a lot (the “utopia”) to shape the entire ecology. Anti-fragility occurs when the imbalance in an Equality Matching structure (resilience) becomes too great and the structure wants to return to its equilibrium. In such a case, there are three possibilities (1) the parts go back to the original AR (blue) and reorder (counter-revolution) (2) the parts go MP (standardization, red) and are translated into ( some) units or (3) they leave the current ecology and go to a “higher” ecology where they also end up in a new AR. The picture shows that Resilience (Anti-Fragile) and Fragile are a category and that Agile and Anti-Agile are a category.
Here you have to ask yourself if Anti-Fragile and Resilience are not the same. The first category (Fragile, Anti-Fragile) is a Form where Fragile is a physical form (a glass, matter, solid, “earth”) and Anti-Fragile is an Idea (“air”, film, software, media).
Agile and Anti-Agile are forms of collaboration that control a process. In the first case (Anti-Agile) the process (a streamline) is fixed (standard, earth / ice). The second case (Agile) is very flexible (“water”). All paths from the source flow to the sea.The Model of Fiske related to Concepts out of the Social Psychology.
7. Mapping the Fractal Model of Panarchy to Poc and Fiske:
The Cycles of Panarchy are fractal . They move with their own frequency. The scales are connected and Jumps Up (Revolt) and Down (Remember). Revolt looks like a Human Revolution Evolution in Biology and Anti-Fragile (being a state where the system changes and increases its Potential by being able to produce different (re)actions.
Panarchy is controlled by 3 Variables and moves in Time. This means that Panarchy is a 4D-Control feedback system. The variables are called Potential (Up/Down), Resilience (High/Low) and Connectedness (Communion, High/Low). Resilience looks like a Spring.
8. Constructal Law
9. Flow Systems States and Estuaries:
The Ancient States Egypt and Sumer were based on an ecology mostly situated at an Estuaryof of a Big River (Nile, Euphrate, Tigris) that ends in a sea.
The States got into big problems when the climate changed and raining stopped, the amount of sweet water went down in combination with the entering of salt water of the sea. This all destroyed the crops.
10.Harbours, the Silk Road and other Places of Exchange of Ideas:
Many old states were situated at an Entrance to the Sea (Harbour) to make Trade and Exchange of Ideas possible. Trade was also facilitated by being at an important node in a international trade route that crossed the Desert (The Silk Road).
The connection points were the point were Ideas, Philosophies and Theories were exchanged. The Harbors facilitated important Creative centers like Alexandria and Venice.
RandallCollins shows in his book Interacting Ritual Chains that Humans need the Entrainment of Special group Rituals to release Emotional Tensions. Successful rituals create symbols of group membership and pump up individuals with positive emotional energy.
12. Examples of A new Model of the State:
In this Chapter I put the models out of Chapter 1-12 in a special order in which the City or the State plays a central role.
The picture below shows a PoC-model with a pattern of a Moebius Ring.
The Moebius-ring (the number 8) is the model behind Panarchy. An ecology contains many connected 8’s. A connected Ecology could be called a Region.
The model contains the functions that can be found in a (big) city. The States grew out of Cities.
Cities look like Organisms. Organisms cooperate in super-organisms. An Ecology is a Super Organism (comparable to the Ants).
The second picture below the picture below is also a model of a (big) City . It contains the Social Networks described in Chapter 4 (About PoC) in the Center.
It also contains a Linear connected ValueChain I call a Value Cycle or a Value Network.
It also contains a Triangel with a Center that connects the many roles that could be implemented as a Monitor. A Monitor plays the role of the Observer,Consciousness. Its role is to Balance the Four Roles. In my opinion the State (or City) should play this role instead of playing the role of the Controller.
The patterns in this model you can seen at the right. They contain a Poc Cycle in a Poc Cycle containing many PoC-cycles that represent Humans.
The term Company (Red)Flow and Sensor represent Activities in the City represented as a Value Cycle. A Value Cycle is a Value Chain that is connected. Flow Systems are related to the rotation of the Earth connected to the Sun Cycle. A City is synchronizedto the Day and the Sun Cycle,.
Yellow (Idea, creative)/<-<Red (Sensing, Action) is called Inventive in PoC . Very important is the link Green (Social)<->Blue (Management, Control, Unity, Rules, Systems) ) that contains the term Building Value and the link Blue/Yelow (Inspire). It is the most important process that transforms resources (Value) into a Unity (Capital, Wealth,Potential) that is able to allocate the Creative Power (Spirit). Have a look again at how entrainment is used in combinations with Rituals.
The 3rd Picture shows a bigger picture where Types of Systems are related that are 2fold (Fragile), 4Fold (look like Organisms) and N-Fold (Anti-Fragile). They change in a way we call Evolution.
The interesting part of all the pictures is that they are all created by applying the fractal of PoC on PoC etc.
If The State is an Ecology we have to create a Multi-Layer nested PoC-model or start with a simple model (“a meta-fractal?) and make it more complex by combining more parts in different ways. The lowest level of this system has to be the human. The human is a moving-Ecology of Bacteria and Viruses.
The pictures below are explained in the chapters above.
Pictures come from Chapter 4 (About PoC): Also see this.
This is a PoC-model that shows how a human reacts to a calamity.This model is compatible to the model of Kubler ross. The same model applied to a City. This model was used in a Smart City -project (called SUS, Smart Urban Space) in the Hague. In the Center we see the Observer.The four Worldviews are Yellow Unique/ : Playing Games, Green (Social): Cooperate, Blue: Order: Hierarchy is about Power and Red: the Sensory-Moter-part is about Conflict/Competition. 3 Connected Ecologies: : Human part of a Social Network part of a City.PoC, Panarchy & Fiske combined with Anti-Fragility. An Ecology can be a Region but An Ecology can also be a Human (or an Organism) or lower in the levels we can define until the singularity.
13. How to Design a State:
In this chapter we use the Development Proces-Model of PoC. The Arrows make it possible to create Many Different paths of Change..
Observe that Industry , Science, Market (see Polyani) and Media are part of the Model but that the Cross is not filled This place, the role of the Observer or Monitor could be taken by the Sate or the City.
14: Human Rights and Maslows Pyramid.
The ancient States grew out of Cities that where (re)Created close to the Sea by a group of People with a Bloodline (Kin(g) ) to a Godmade Human.
Human Rights (HR) have a lot in common with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. This means that HR have a lot in Common with PoC and therefore with Fiskes theory of Human Relations and Panarchy.
Human Rights are a product of an Utopian Movement that was motivated by many World Wars and Dictators that love to speak to their counterparts in the General Assembly of the UN.
Laws are a symbolic power enforced by the legal system that is enforced by a democracy, the power of the many that have no power against the smart weapons that are designed to give Big Brother its tools to control the minds.
A politics of human rights must transcend judges. History shows that movements relying on judges alone are weak. We need more power and the power can be found in the citizins that are also consumers. They can vote with their wealth but much netter with their Intelect.
15: The US is a Market Society: see Fiske Market Pricing Relationship.
n the past three decades, says Michael Sandel, the US has drifted from a market economy to a market society; it’s fair to say that an American’s experience of shared civic life depends on how much money they have. (Three key examples: access to education, access to justice, political influence.) In a talk and audience discussion, Sandel asks us to think honestly on this question: In our current democracy, is too much for sale?
16. The State as the Monitor of the Political Ecology:
In the following chapters I will create my preferred model of the State. To do this I will use the Building blocks that were created in the previous chapters.
About Alchemy and the Squaring of the Circle:
“When thou hast made the Quadrangle Round, Then is all the Secret found”. George Ripley (d.d. 1490).
I believe the State should play the role of Monitor also called Consciousness or Observer.
The monitor is in the Middle is connecting with the different Points of View making sure that the Whole is in Balance.
The monitor is without Judgement. Its only task is to Communicate.
When you look at Paths of Change you will see the big problem that arises when everybody enforces his own Personal View on the World.
It wil lead to a PermanentConflict in which certain parts Dominate other parts for a while claiming they are the Truth.
Every Point of View claims it has its own Right but blocks the view on the Whole for the others.
Without a view on the whole the parts become a whole leading to an explosion of Complexity.
Our body contains organs but the organs are not the controller of the Body.
Our Brain is not a computer that contains software-programs that are triggered by the sensors of the senses.
the Parts react to the signals of all the Other Parts.
The monitor collects and distributes these signals.
We are a Bodyfield that synchronizes with other fields.
When we look at the Path of the Hero (PoH, also called the monomyth) that was rediscovered by Joseph Campbell we learn that the adventure of life starts with a Calling (Event) to go on a Quest.
In this Quest we use the practises and talents we have aquired in our life.
During the Quest we meet a lot of Helpers (Community) that are motivated by the Quest. At a certain point we have to make a Choice (Priotize) where to go and find the Insight we need to go on.
This Insight is shared with the Community.
An Insight is a view of the inside. Our inside is a Body . Our Body is the Temple we live in.
The PoH is a combination of 2 triangels, the Analytic Cycle and the Value Cycle that share the connection between Vision & Practice called Invention.
The Quest proves what all the Alchemists knew when they had found the Stone that brings Eternal Life.
When the Alchemist closes the circle of the Four Worldviews the alchemist discovers that History repeats itself all the time.
When the monitor does not move all the Stages of the Cycle will appear time after time stage after stage until the cycle returns to the Moment of Conception.
a Natural Ecology stores the Seeds of its creation in a sacred Groove in the Woods, a Spiritual Ecology stores its Intelectual Seeds in the Collective Unconsciousness or in its Holy Books or in the Myths and Stories that are Retold (“Retelling = Reounting) all the time.
Acupuncture is part of the Chinese Medical (TCM) Tradition and the Indian Medical Tradition called Ayurveda.
The Chinese use Five Elements (Organs) related to the WOrldviews of PoC. Ayurveda uses the same Elements now called Tatvas .
The energy nodes are called Chakra‘s or Meridians. Meridians are paths through which the Life-Energy known as qi” f(or Prana) flows. Qi is the Electro-Magnetic-field that is caused by Moving Electrons in our blood.
The Chinese/Indian-system of medicine was known all over the world including the West. In the west the art of medicine was practiced by the Guild of the Barbers and Medical Doctors trained at the University. They used a Medical Theory that was based on Analogy (the Four Humors ).
The Bloodletting points of the Barbers correspond with the acupuncture points.
Tatvas. Spirit black egg Tejas – Fire red equilateral triangle Vayu – Air blue circle Apas – Water half circle / silver crescent Prithvi (Earth tattva) – symbolized by a yellow square.
Kim Veltman’s researched the development of World Cultures by looking at the development of Alphabets.This video is part of a long playlist. Yesterday I discovered that Kim Veltman died recently 1-4-2020. Kim shows that World Culture was already there 100.000 BC and there was a lively contact with all the cultures (also in the US) by Ship and Silk Roads.
Kim Veltman shows that the many cultures on earth use the same building blocks for already > 120.000 years. The building blocks were rearranged in different orders but on the deepest level they stayed the same. He also shows that old-myths are old histories that bring us back to the beginning. This beginning was paradise and paradise was a place where humans were confronted with many dilemma’s that have not changed because our body is not changed.
ABout The Acupuncture Points of the Earth.
The Artashastra: The Indian Art of War and Politics. The primal task of the King is to distribute Wealth.
About Ancient Indian knowledge about Strategy given to US Strategists of the Army.
The Mandate of Heaven.
The Emperor is in Control until he Fails.
The Mandate of Heaven is a cyclic concept originating in the Zhou Dynasty from before 1000 B.C. which determines whether the emperor is sufficiently virtuous to rule.
The Zhou People worshiped a supreme deity, Tian, the name means “sky” and in English means “Heaven.”
tThe mandate is based on four principles: 1. The right to rule is granted by Heaven 2. There is only Heaven therefore there can only be one ruler 3. The right to rule is based on the virtue of the ruler 4. The right to rule is not limited to one dynasty.
The mandate is still believed by a majority of the people of China. This means that even the tribe of the Communist Party and its leader (a new type of Emperor) has to obey the rules.
The four pillars of the Mandate of Heaven demand that if the Emperor fails to fulfil his obligations to the people, then his Mandate and right to be ruler is over.
“Heaven” sends signs when the ruler’s day are done.
Disasters of nature such as floods, drought, famine and disease are signs that the Ruling Dynasty has lost Heaven’s Mandate to rule, and those happenings justify the people’s right to rebel against them under the four principles of the Mandate.
In centuries past, these signs from Heaven led to uprisings – 49 times in Chinese history – and a new Ruling Dynasty came to power, often from within the ranks of those who rebelled.
Plan of the Ritual complex built by emperor Wang Mang (AD 9) as a reconstruction of the Ming Tang of antiquity. The Four Directions as Doors and in the Middle the Central Building are an implementation of the Sheng Cycle in the Central City of the State. It shows the fractal nature of the state.
In ancient China the Emperor was responsible for the Balance/Harmony of the State. To balance the State the Emperor used the Sheng Cycle implemented in the practice of Sun Tzu.
This Practise can be used in Foreign Policy with the aim of Avoiding Conflicts (Diplomacy) but also in Fighting a War (Strategy). The chinese ruler used the strategy of Tit-for-Tat (Copying the behavior of the opponent).
A very small deviance of what was seen as not normal (a Rooster laying an egg) was seen as an indication that the Balance of the State was gone. It was the signal that big disasters were at hand.
At that moment the Emperor had to Balance the State by performing rituals and by taking action for instance by replacing the Governor of a Province where the imbalance took place.
The rituals of the Emperor focused the attention of the Citizens and this energy changed the course of the state.
The Emperor was responsible for Foreign Trade. Foreign Trade was necessary to introduce new ideas and technology and to find alleys.
Acupuncture: Diagnose & Treatment.
The Center is part of Triangel (Winter (Possibility), Summer (Practice)). This Triangel is the path of Invention (idea->action) in PoC. Communion looks like Yin and Agency looks like Yang. The Sheng-Cycle is a Fractal-cycle. It is applicable at the level of the Emperor and the state and the level of the body and on all the levels you find the same “tools” to diagnose and to cure..
The generating cycle, , is a 1->1 relationship of nourishment and Support of one element by another. In the same way that a Mother nourishes her child, so does each of the elements nourish its “Child” element.
A Mother/Child-relationship is what we would call a Causal Relation in a predestinated order that is a Cycle.
The order is the order of the Sun Cycle in which order the seasons are also called organs.
The organs have a relationship with what we call the organs in the body but they are not matter but an Energy Pattern comparable with the Energy-patterns One Mae Who talks about in this blog.
The Controlling Cycle represents relationships which prevent any given element from becoming overwhelming or too powerful in relation to the system as a whole.
In terms of our family-relationships metaphor, it is the “grandmother” that exerts this healthy control over the “grandchild” element
In the West we name the Grandmother-relation a Feed-Forward of Feed-Backward-Relation.
For an explanation of Acupuncture-read this blog. (1): Acupuncture(theory) (2) diagnosis(theory).
The diagnosis is done at the Pulse. This is the place where all the Elements (Points of View)/Organs) get together. By pressing softly at the left or the right pulse a “Pattern” is felt that feels like a wave.
The pattern of the wave is an indication of the Harmony of the Body and the places where balancing is needed. Pressing simulates an Event. The “system” reacts with a reaction to an event.
The same happens when we create a very small Electro Magnetic Field . This event stimulates the Immune-System of the Body. The E/M-field is the Force of Life (Chi).
We could implement the same system by creating a monitor that samples data that represent the World-Views.
China and India are examples of cultures that used their knowledge and experience to manage society. They believed in Cycles and Harmony. The last Emperor was taken by the Mandate of Heaven and had to surrender to the new rulers of the communist party.
This is the end of this blog. In the last chapter (18) I will summarize and introduce a new step in my research.
18. The end
Summary:
The State is at the End of its Lifecycle:
History:
It started with isolated Hunter Gatherers that lived in Paradise.
They became a Tribe that settled down in a Proto-City.
The Yaminawá people in Brazil
When the Climate Changed the Tribes moved to the Caves.
In the caves the Humans discovered Total Darkness, the Light of the Imagination and translated Pictures into Sounds.
The proto-settlements turned into cities. One of the oldest is Jericho. archaeologists have unearthed the remains of 20 successive settlements in Jericho, dating back 11,000 years.
The cities became City-states and because of the Distribution of Labor (mostly by Slaves) they were able to feed big Armies .
The Leaders of the settled tribes turned themselves into Gods and became Kin-g.
The city-states close to the Sea and the Silk-roads became Rich and Powerful and expanded into Countries.
The kin-gs united the City-States and The State was Born.
The Kin-gs became Pope or Emperor. All the time their Magical attributes and Supporters (the Tribes) did not change until the Slaves killed the Kin’gs.
Charlemagne united most of Western Europe for the first time since the Roman Empire, and spurred the Carolingian Renaissance. Sometimes called the ‘Father of Europe’.
The French Revolutionended the Power of the Kin’gs and of their Gods and created the concept of the Cooperative.
The Enlightment.
The Roots of Rationalism can be found in the Enlightment.
In the 18th century Rational Man, not God, got into the Centre.
The Scientists and Philosophers of the Enlightment were obsessed by Objectivity and Perfection.
In their view, Objectivity and Perfection can only be accomplished by controlling the subjective parts, the Emotions and the Imagination of the Human Being.
The subjective parts are part of the Body and the Body is Impulsive and Illusionary. The Warm Chaotic Sensual Body detracts the Cold Analytic Brain.
The Rationalists created the Corporations, the Mass Production System and the Mass Media. Every structure in the rational ecology is designed to perform its own Specialized task.
The Mass Media create the Demand for the Products that the Mass Production Systems have to deliver.
The Rationalists put the Brains at the Top of the Hierarchy of the Corporations and the Brain in the Operating System of the Computer.
They eliminated the Craftsman and the Laborers and replaced them with the Perfect always Obedient Objective Human, the Robot.
Rationalism is turning every local Diversity into a global Monoculture. Everything can be Quantified and Everything, even Life itself, can be Engineered (Bio-Engineering).
The Big Problems Earth is facing can be solved by new Technology and Enough Capital to Invest.
It is just a matter of Time and the totally Engineered World will be a Fact of Life. If Earth cannot be saved we will simply move into Space and find another Place to Live.
The Ecology of the State:
In this blog I try to show that we have to believe in Self-Regulation which means that the first step to create the State of the Future is to de-Regulate.
Self-regulation is A State without a Government (Anarchy) or ““an inclusive, universal system of governance in which all may participate meaningfully.” This could be a State as a Cooperative.
The theory of Pan–Anarchy. is “a conceptual framework to account for the dual, and seemingly contradictory, characteristics of all complex systems.”
Panarchy explains Ecologies by using a Taoistic view on the world. An ecology has a Yin and a Yang side or in terms of PoC it combines Agency (Yang, Unity, Order) and Communion (Yin, Cooperation). This order is a observed or Emergent order not an enforced order.
This order could result out of an Entrained System,
The four stages of the Adaptive Cycle are analogous to Birth, Growth, Maturation,Death and Renewal and have Three properties that determine the dynamic characteristics of each cycle:
(1) Potential sets the limits to what is Possible –
(2) Connectedness determines the degree to which a system can control its own destiny through Internal controls, as distinct from being influenced by External variables
(3) Resilience determines how Vulnerable a system is to unexpected disturbances.
A new Research-project.
The model below is a result of the research of Alan Fiske. See chapter 6. It relates the four geometries with four Social Relationshipsmodels of Fiske.
I have created a new blog for this chapter push here to go on.
The Geometry of the State as a Fusionof Anti-Fragility Panarchy and PoC.
This is the same blog in English. This Blog is written in Dutch.
Hoofdstuk Indeling:
Samenvatting
Aanleiding: Dit was een presentatie voor het KNVI naar aanleiding van een nieuw boek van Nassim Taleb: Antifragility.
Anti-kwetsbaarheid. In het Nederlands gaat het eigenlijk over Onkwetsbaarheid.
Veerkracht Veerkracht is een voorstadium van Antifragility. Het gaat over het herstellen van een oude situatie maar die hoeft niet altijd dezelfde eigenschappen te hebben.
het Omgekeerde Het Omgekeerde is een geliefde methode van Taleb om mensen los te maken van het bekende.
Paths of ChangePoC (Paths of Change) wordt gebruikt als (fractaal) Referentie model in deze presentatie..
de Quaternio Carl Jung was de herontdekker van een oude ontwerp-techniek die ook is te vinden in de en de Griekse Logica. Het gaat over een vierluik waarin alle relaties een tegendeel zijn. Het komt eigenlijk uit de Logica van Aristoteles die het weer uit de Egyptische Magie heeft gehaald.
Black Swans en Dragon Kings Nassims vorige boek de Black Swan gaat over Calamiteiten. Een Dragon King is nog veel erger. In dat geval is er sprake van entrainment.
Nassim Taleb is een mooie combinatie van een geld-handelaar, wetenschapper en filosoof.
Het boek Anti-Fragility is een deel van een serie boeken die onder de titel Incerto worden uitgebracht.
“Incerto is is an investigation of luck, uncertainty, probability, opacity, human error, risk, disorder, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand“.
Anti-fragility is een vervolg op het deel de Black Swan dat gaat over de voorspelbaarheid van Rampen. In het boek anti-fragility leer je gebruik te maken van onvoorspelbaarheid (“to get order out of disorder”).
2. Aanleiding.
Deze blog is het gevolg van een presentatie over Anti-Fragility die ik op 7-9-2016 heb gegeven voor de sofware-architecten van de KNVI (Koninklijke Nederlandse Vereniging van Informatieprofessionals).
De presentatie in 2016 begon met een verhaal over mijn Smart City-project in Den Haag (“Smart Urban Space”). Dit stuk van de presentatie is hier weggelaten op de conclusie na over de Anti-Fragiele Stad. Die conclusie staat in Hfdst. 15.
Het verhaal over de Zelfontplooiende Stad staat hier.
3. Over Anti-Kwetsbaarheid
Nassim Taleb beweert dat er geen woord in het Engels bestaat voor het omgekeerde van Fragility (kwetsbaarheid). Daarom heeft hij het zelf gemaakt (Anti-Fragility, anti-kwetsbaarheid). In het Nederlands bestaat het woord wel alhoewel het net als in het Engels ook een niet-(on/anti)-woord (“een tegendeel”) is.
Het omgekeerde van Fragility is onkwetsbaarheid, een mythisch begrip, waar veel levenden naar op zoek zijn geweest maar dat alleen aan de Goden is (of was?) voorbehouden.
Taleb plaatst Anti-Fragility vooral in het scheppende perspectief. Met Anti-Fragility kun je chaos gebruiken om je eigen orde te scheppen.
Dit document bevat een zoektocht naar Anti-Fragility langs allerlei modellen die stukjes van de puzzel bevatten.
4. Over Veerkracht
Op het plaatje houden Thoth, de Uitvinder en Ma’at, de Godin van de Balans, de Levensboom (de Ished) in Evenwicht.
De vruchten van de Boom des Levens gaven Eeuwig Leven (en dus Onkwetsbaarheid) en Inzicht in het Grote Plan.
In de top van de Boom die gesitueerd was in Heliopolis zat de Bennu Vogel, de Magische Phoenix. De Vuurvogel die uit haar eigen Vuur herboren wordt is het Symbool van Nassim Taleb voor Veerkracht, het laatste stadium voor anti-kwetsbaarheid.
De tovenaar Thoht wordt ook wel Djehuti genoemd. Hij is de bestuurder van de Djed, de levenskracht (“het Vuur van de Phoenix”, de Kundalini), waarmee hij het Rad van Avontuur in beweging zet dat door Ma’at binnen de perken wordt gehouden.
Het mag duidelijk zijn dat Nassim Taleb op zoek is naar de bron van de Levenskracht en de beperkingen van Ma’at (Balans) wil ontlopen.
In moderne terminologie wil Nassim permanent in de “Edge of Chaos” (“de Adjacent Possible“, Kauffman) opereren. De “edge” is het gebied tussen orde en chaos waar de nieuwe ruimte wordt gevormd en de tijd zijn werk nog niet kan doen.
5. Citaten van Nassim Telab
Cursief een aantal citaten van Nassim Taleb om in de stemming te komen:
Our brain is not cut out for nonlinearities. People think that if, say, two variables are causally linked, then a steady input in one variable should always yield a result in the other one. Our emotional apparatus is designed for linear causality.
Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire. You want to be the fire and wish for the wind. …The mission is how to domesticate, even dominate, even conquer, the unseen, the opaque, and the inexplicable.
It takes a lot of intellect and confidence to accept that what makes sense doesn’t really make sense.
For a free person, the optimal – most opportunistic – route between two points should never be the shortest one.
Not seeing a tsunami or an economic event coming is excusable; building something fragile to them is not.
The ultimate freedom lies in not having to explain “why” you did something.
The best choice is the one that remains for no good reason while other options have 2 or more reasons.
You get pseudo-order when you seek order; you get a measure of order and control when you embrace randomness.
In fact, every step is a new beginning.
6. Over het Omgekeerde
Dit document is een persoonlijke zoektocht naar anti-fragility, een concept bedacht door de auteur/wetenschapper/filosoof/geldhandelaar Nassim Taleb. Anti-fragility is het omgekeerde van kwetsbaarbaarheid (fragile).
Taleb is een liefhebber van het omgekeerde en van kunstige metafoor (“The general principle of antifragility, it is much better to do things you cannot explain than explain things you cannot do.”).
Nassim zet zijn lezers graag op het verkeerde been suggererend dat dat het goede been is. Door het omgekeerde te nemen laat hij de grenzen zien van het dagelijkse en opent daardoor een nieuwe wereld die grotendeels onbegrijpelijk is maar wel degelijk mogelijk (“I want to live happily in a world I don’t understand”).
De zoektocht maakt gebruik van wat ik “mapping” noem, het springen (“afbeelden“) van model naar model waarbij het basismodel, Paths of Change, steeds meer wordt verrijkt met details die zich rondom het kernthema (on-kwetsbaarheid) ophopen.
De methode maakt gebruik van het concept wereldbeeld (worldview), een specifieke kijk op de wereld.
PoC gebruikt vier onafhankelijke wereldbeelden:
Sensory (waar-nemen / handelen/ ervaring/ rood),
Unitary (waar-heid /kennis /systeem /blauw ),
Mythic (weer (waar?)-geven / idee/ inzicht/ geel) en
Social (waar-deren /waarde /groep / groen).
Een verandering is een cyclisch proces dat minimaal twee wereldbeelden doorloopt. Als voorbeeld, het wetenschappelijke veranderproces, koppelt unitary (waar-heid) aan sensory (waar-nemen) en vice-versa.
PoC is een fractaal-systeem (zelf-referentie, herhaling zelfde model). De basisvorm, de golf, herhaalt zich op ieder schaalniveau. Er zijn vele golven met een verschillende periodiciteit (frequentie).
Cycli van verschillende periodiciteit versterken of beperken elkaar. Omhoog en omlaag van gelijke waarde heffen elkaar op.
Een golf lijkt op een Sinus en bestaat uit een weg omhoog (mythic), de top (unitary), de weg omlaag (sensory) en het dal (social, depressie) waar vandaan de weg omhoog weer start.
De wiskundige Fourier heeft aangetoond dat alle functies kunnen worden beschreven als een verzameling van sinussen en cosinussen. Een cosinus is een vertraagde sinus.
Een Sinusvorm bevat twee tegenstellingen (omkeringen) n.l. richting (omhoog/omlaag) en evenwicht (top/dal).
Richting en (&) evenwicht vormen samen het geheel. Ze worden elkaars complement genoemd. Een systeem dat bestaat uit twee opponenten en complementen wordt een Quaternio genoemd
8. Over de Quaternio
Een voorbeeld van de Quaternio in het basismodel van PoC is de link waar-nemen (Sensory) vs weer-geven (Mythic). Weer of waar betekent aandacht. De kruisen in het model gaan over tegenstellingen.
Quaternions hebben een hele rijke historie in de geschiedenis van de wetenschap en zijn door de psycholoog/filosoof Carl Jung weer op de kaart gezet.
Een Quaternio biedt de mogelijkheid om met een concept te spelen door complement en opponent te onderzoeken.
Het is duidelijk dat Taleb een expert is in het spel van omkeren en confronteren. Zijn hoogste doel is om de lezer zodanig in de war te brengen dat hij zelf het Licht ziet.
Er zijn veel vergelijkbare Quaternio’s (“vierluiken”). Die kunnen worden gebruikt om een toegespitste kijk te introduceren in een discussie. Door ze steeds te relateren (“mappen”) aan het PoC-model kun je een meer-dimensioneel plaatje schetsen.
Bovenstaand Quaternio komt uit de Grid/Group-theorie. Er worden twee variabelen gebruikt die een dualiteit zijn n.l. individu en niet-individu (groep) en vrije keuze (prescribing) en niet-“vrije keuze” (prescribed). Hierdoor vormen ze samen een Quaternio.
PoC is te beschrijven met de variabelen Communion en Agency, waarbij Agency lijkt op de Vrije Keuze-variabele maar dan andersom n.l. het effect van Agency is vrije of niet-vrije keuze en de groep-variabele lijkt op Communion (Samen vs Niet-Samen).
De Grid/Group-theorie is onder meer gebruikt bij het ontwerpen van Panarchy, een theorie over autonome processen. Panarchy wordt in Hfdst. 9 geintroduceerd.
De verbindingen tussen de wereldbeelden kunnen worden benoemd. Plan (Unity) -> Praktijk (Sensory) wordt Maken genoemd en Praktijk->Plan (Theorie, Unity) wordt Analyse genoemd.
Unity comprimeert (M->1) en Sensory expandeert (1->M).
De vier onderdelen van PoC kunnen weer worden ingedeeld volgens hetzelfde model. Dit noemt men zelf-referentie of schaal. In het plaatje wordt de persoonlijkheid opgeblazen tot een stelsel van Communities. Een Community of Practice heet een bedrijf.
De rechtsdraaiende cyclus is de Productie-cyclus. De linksdraaiende cyclus is de Consumptie-cyclus.
De kleuren in de plaatjes geven de relatie aan met PoC.
9. De definitie van Anti-Fragility
Het concept anti-fragile is bedacht door Nassim Taleb en staat in de titel van zijn boek Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder. Anti-fragile is de antithese van fragile (kwetsbaar). Hoe meer wanorde hoe beter het anti-fragiele systeem werkt.
Een fragiel systeem is zwak dus zou je zeggen dat een anti-fragiel systeem sterk is (Robuust). Nassim Taleb gooit er nog een paar scheppen bovenop. Als je anti-fragiel bent ben je blij als er iets goed mis gaat want dan wordt het gewin groter.
Tussen fragiel (kwetsbaar) en anti-fragiel (onkwetsbaar) definieert Taleb de concepten anti-agile (niet aanpasbaar, rigide) en agile (aanpasbaar) met robuust (resilient, veerkrachtig) als midden categorie.
Anti-Fragiel worden is eigenlijk onmenselijk vandaar dat Nassim zoveel referenties geeft naar mythische voorbeelden (Phoenix (Robuust, Veerkracht), Hydra (Anti-Fragiel), een veelkoppig monster, dat meer koppen terugkrijgt als een kop wordt afgehakt).
Black Swans zijn onvoorspelbare gebeurtenissen waar je je volgens Nassim tegen kunt wapenen door het systeem robuust te maken.
Fragiele systemen hebben maar twee standen n.l. (0): Heel (H) en (1): Kapot (K). Organismen zijn veerkrachtige systemen. Ze hebben 2×2 standen (HH (00 =0), HK (01 = 1), KH (10 =2), KK (11=3)-> Hh->H , HK, KH, KK->K) en zijn cyclisch (0, 1,2,3.0,1,2,3,0,…).
Anti-Fragiele systemen zijn het product van een evolutionair proces. Evolutionaire systemen hebben 2**2**n standen en tonen zich als een spiraal.
In fact, the most interesting aspect of evolution is that it only works because of its antifragility; it is in love with stressors, randomness, uncertainty, and disorder — while individual organisms are relatively fragile, the gene pool takes advantage of shocks to enhance its fitness.
Onderstaande plaatje toont de Involutie (convergentie van de Evolutie) van de Spiraal van het Universum van de Big Bang tot en met het ontstaan van de Sociale Systemen.
Als een fragiel systeem kapot gaat kan de nieuwe staat iets heel anders doen dan vroeger of helemaal niets doen. In dat geval passen de brokstukken niet meer in elkaar.
Een fragiel systeem kan door een grote verstoring anti-fragiel worden omdat de componenten anders worden geordend en ook zelf worden aangepast.
Een niet-veranderbare (anti-agile, rigide) ecologie weerstaat een verstoring.
Een veerkrachtige (robuuste) ecologie herstelt zich maar verandert niet.
Een veranderbare (agile) kwetsbare (fragile) ecologie valt na een grote verstoring uit elkaar, ordent de brokstukken op een andere manier en blijft hetzelfde doen (“functional redundancy”).
Een onkwetsbare ecologie doet iets nieuws met nieuwe brokstukken. Het is de vraag of nieuw beter is. Het is ieder geval anders.
10. Over Black Swans en Dragon Kings
In tegenstelling tot Nassim Taleb is Didier Sonnete van mening dat er naast de Black Swan nog een ander soort ramp bestaat, de Dragon King.
Black Swans ontstaan door Self-Organized Criticality, “de druppel die de emmer doet overlopen”, de eerste steen die een lawine, een kettingreactie, doet ontstaan. Een kettingreactie duidt op een systeem dat te geïntegreerd is. Alles hangt met alles samen.
Het moment waarop de lawine ontstaat is niet met zekerheid te voorspellen maar de verdeling van de grootte van lawines vertoont een z.g. powerlaw-verdeling (de 80/20-regel, Pareto-principe). Een powerlaw-netwerk heeft heel veel kleine knooppunten en een paar grote “hubs”, die als magneet fungeren voor de kleintjes.
Dragon Kings ontstaan omdat er door synchronisatie min of meer gelijke (homogene) sterk gekoppelde (coupling) objecten gaan ontstaan die zich als een geheel volgens een vast ritme gaan gedragen (kuddegedrag).
De kudde drijft het systeem tot enorme hoogte (“een hype”, “bubble”) waarna het in elkaar stort en een tsunami start die veel opgebouwde waarde vernietigd. Dit wordt positieve feedback genoemd.
Synchronisatie forceert homogeniteit. Ongelijke onderdelen gaan in het geheel op elkaar lijken. Voorbeelden zijn verliefdheid, mensenmenigten (“meutes”), vogelzwermen, bacteria, hersenen, files, het weer en economische bubbles.
11. Over Stroomsystemen en Constructal Law
Het energieverschil, het potentieel, tussen de ritmische input van de zon en de output van de ritmisch roterende aarde (via reflectie), wordt omgezet in geordende (geconfigureerde) ritmische (cycli) beweging (stroom systemen, bijv. het weer, de waterkringloop in de zee, …).
Het ritme van de zonnecyclus veroorzaakt grootschalige synchronisatie op aarde.
Als het potentieel te laag is komt de beweging tot stilstand (uitputting). Een blokkade van een aantal stroompaden kan een infarct doen ontstaan waardoor de stroom zich ophoopt en blokkeert. Op den duur wordt de blokkade (“doorbraak”) weer opgeheven als de bron maar blijft bestaan.
Een te grote stroomlijning van de rivierdelta veroorzaakt bij een te groot aanbod overstromingen. Hierdoor gaat de stroom anders lopen (bypass). Een rivierdelta is een combinatie van vele stagnaties die plotseling door de grote druk die zich bij het knooppunt ontwikkeld een bypass veroorzaken.
Tussen stagnatie en vrije stroom bevindt zich een persistent model dat een optimalisatie is van vele variabelen (i.h.a de lengte van de stroom). Dit model, de boom, komt steeds terug.
Constructal Law is een onderdeel van de Thermodynamica. Ze laat zien dat stroomsystemen allemaal hetzelfde fractale “boom”-patroon vertonen op ieder schaal-niveau (hersenen, longen, bloedvaten, boom, rivier, stad,…).
Het model van Paths of Change bestaat eigenlijk uit vier aan elkaar gekoppelde bomen die 90 graden zijn geroteerd.
Unity is de Boom van de Hiearchie, Sensory is de Boom van de Causaliteit, waarbij een oorzaak vele gevolgen kan hebben. Social zijn de Wortels van de Boom en Mythic is het omgekeerde van Social. Uit het Vele komt de Eenheid voort.
In zijn totaliteit lijkt het op een centrum (de Leegte) waaruit paden voortvloeien die alle kanten op stromen. Dit model is het gevolg van een systeem zonder weerstand.
Hier toont zich de Levensboom van Thoth en Ma’at maar ook de Uhrplant van Goethe die de wetenschap van de Morphologie (de Vormkunde) in gang heeft gezet.
De essentie van Constructal Law is dat de stroomsystemen in de vorm van boomstructuren op den duur alle weerstand verwijderen zodat ze steeds beter kunnen stromen. Die weerstand wordt gevormd door de vormen die “oude” stroomsystemen hebben geproduceerd.
Dit betekent dat de cyclus sneller gaat bewegen, het boom-object kleiner wordt (maar wel deel blijft uitmaken van een groter object (dat weer deel uit maakt van een nog groter object (via de fractale wetten))) en de vorm van het object meer gestroomlijnd wordt gegeven het medium waarin het zich bevindt (vissen (water), vogels (lucht), zoogdieren (land)).
Volgens de Constructal Law zijn de organismen maar ook de hulpmiddelen van de organismen (vliegtuigen, boten , auto’s,…) allemaal een gevolg van de rotatie (in de rotatie, in de rotatie) die het overschot aan energie van de zon heeft veroorzaakt.
12. Over Vitaliteit , een voorbeeld van een Spanningsveld
Vitaliteit is een verband tussen diversiteit (veerkracht) en efficiency (orde). Als er teveel is gestroomlijnd wordt het totale gekoppelde systeem gevoelig voor verstoring (fragiel, breekbaar (brittle)).
Door het uitvallen van een elektriciteit-centrale vallen alle centrales uit of door een virus valt een groot deel van de software uit (collapse). Andersom levert een te grote diversiteit een te lage samenhang (connectivity) op en werkt er niets meer samen (stagnatie, chaos).
Vitaliteit is een voorbeeld van een spanningsveld (Efficiency (Alles gelijk) vs Diversiteit). Als je dieper analyseert blijkt dat alle problemen ontstaan door spanningsvelden die niet in het midden, in balans, verkeren omdat ze met grote moeite in balans kunnen komen.
De ene en de andere kant zijn meer waarschijnlijk maar veroorzaken zulke grote problemen dat een ander spanningsveld ze weer oplost.
Aangezien de spanningsvelden samenhangen middels spanningsvelden is de wereld een systeem dat in wankel evenwicht verkeerd en dat uiteindelijk tot een punt in een kruis kan worden teruggebracht. Dat punt is het scharnierpunt waarom alles draait.
13. Over Panarchy, de Fusie van de God Pan en Anarchie.
De hoofdstukken 4 t/m 6 laten een aantal samenhangende onafhankelijke variabelen zien die een spanningsveld zijn n.l. (1) Verbondenheid (2) Vitaliteit (3) Orde en (4) Potentieel. Die variabelen komen ook voor in het model achter Panarchy.
Panarchy is een fusie tussen Pan, de God van de Natuur en Anarchie, een niet van boven gestuurde organisatievorm. Panarchy gaat over Autonome processen in de Natuur.
Panarchy is een cyclisch 4-dimensionaal model (een spanningsveld tussen Vorm & Proces) van de ontwikkelingen (de stromen) die een ecologie doormaakt.
De vorm van de cyclus is het cijfer 8, de Möbius-ring. De ring is een 2-Dimensionele band in een 3-D-ruimte die geen boven- en onderkant heeft maar die suggestie wel wekt.
De ring kan worden onderverdeeld in vier fasen die overeenkomen met de cyclische ontwikkeling van een organisme van geboorte tot dood.
De fasen zijn:
(1) geboorte en groei (opbouwen potentie en verbondenheid, groen/blauw), Vanuit het diepste punt (“de depressie”) ontstaat er weer samenhang. De samenhang produceert en consumeert hulpbronnen waarbij er veel meer wordt geproduceerd dan geconsumeerd. Er is nog genoeg ruimte om te groeien en om voorraden te maken. Vanuit het overschot ontwikkelt zich een besturingssysteem (een elite) die vooral zorgdraagt voor consensus. De onderdelen staan in dienst van elkaar.
(2) conserveren (behoud huidige situatie prioriteit, veel te veel connecties, geen mogelijkheid voor nieuwe paden, systeem wordt broos en breekbaar, er ontstaan verschillende breuklijnen, diversiteit neemt toe, blauw/geel): Het systeem verbruikt vrijwel al zijn hulpbronnen om zich in stand te houden. Er vindt geen innovatie plaats en het verleden wordt belangrijker als de toekomst.
(3) ineenstorten en uit elkaar vallen (geel/rood): Uiteindelijk valt het geheel uiteen in brokstukken die niet echt op elkaar aansluiten. Er werkt niets meer samen en het systeem komt tot stilstand.
(4) herordenen en opnieuw beginnen (rood/groen): De brokstukken worden weer aangepast en samengevoegd en een nieuwe cyclus begint.
Iedere faseovergang wordt afgesloten met een fase-specifieke ramp omdat er steeds op een andere manier “door de bocht” wordt gegaan.
Het model van de ecologie herhaalt zich op verschillende schaalniveaus. Stromen op een hoger niveau zijn groter en stromen langzamer.
De verschillende schalen (bijvoorbeeld mens, sociaal netwerk, stad, zie verder Hfdst. 15) hebben relaties die omhoog (revolutie, geel/blauw) en omlaag (herinneren/terugval, blauw/rood) springen.
Onderstaand plaatje toont het Panarchy-model geprojecteerd op het PoC-model.
Een aantal observaties:
(1) De Mobius-Ring toont zich hier ook,
(2) Er is een symmetrie tussen Blauw/Geel en Rood/Groen. Aangezien PoC een Quaternio is, zie je hier dat de opposities via de kruislijnen Groeien en Reorganiseren lopen. Groeien gaat van Dieptepunt naar Top en Reorganiseren gaat van Stijgen naar Dalen. Beiden gaan in tegengestelde richting Neer->Op vs Op->Neer, een Golf.
(3) Er is een symmetrie tussen Blauw/Rood (Analytic Game, Maken/Analyseren) en Geel/Groen (Emergence, Inzicht in Waarde, Waarde van een Inzicht).
Het Analytische Spel (Unity <-> Sensory) is een mensenspel. In een Ecologie wordt dit niet gespeeld. Het spel ontstaat via de terugkoppeling naar een hogere orde. Dat komt omdat we bij het Ontwerpen altijd veel te abstract denken en een aantal stappen terug moeten doen om de realiteit weer te bereiken. Thoht wordt altijd weer teruggefloten door Ma’at.
Taleb: “We have the illusion that the world functions thanks to programmed design, university research, and bureaucratic funding, but there is compelling — very compelling — evidence to show that this is an illusion. Technology is the result of antifragility, exploited by risk-takers in the form of tinkering and trial and error. Engineers and tinkerers develop things while history books are written by academics; we will have to refine historical interpretations of growth, innovation, and many such things. … The error of naive rationalism leads to overestimating the role and necessity of … academic knowledge, in human affairs — and degrading the uncodifiable, more complex, intuitive, or experience-based type”.
Het Spel van de “Emergence” (Mythic <-> Social) laat het gebeuren. Er wordt niet gehandeld. Soms worden ideeen gewaardeerd (“brainstorm”) maar de grote vraag is of die ideeen echte ideeen zijn. In het algemeen zijn ideeen waarnemingen.
Andersom is het altijd goed inzicht te hebben in de waarde die mensen toekennen aan een proces of een calamiteit die het gevolg is van een gebeurtenis (Black Swan, Dragon King). In het laatste geval is er sprake van een hype en dient te worden opgelet dat de “fictieve” waarde niet te hoog wordt ingeschat.
Een Ecologie is een Autonoom (Natuurlijk) Proces en geen Mensenspel. Mensen hebben weinig invloed in de Ecologie behalve dat ze net als de andere organismen gebruik kunnen maken van de Ecologie en hem daarmee ten gronde kunnen richten door alles op te maken.
(4) Er is een “nieuw” type “Path-of-Change” ontstaan, een Ecologie/Ecologie-sprong dat via Revolutie (geel-sprong omhoog-blauw) en Herinner (Remember) van Blauw-sprong-omlaag-Rood loopt.
14: Over Menselijke Uitdagingen
De mens (en zijn soortgenoten, de zoogdieren) heeft in zijn leven altijd te maken met existentiële levensproblemen.
(1) Identiteit (herkennen, herhalen, accepteren, afstoten, isolatie, deelnemer, samenwerken): Als je niet kunt ontdekken wat hetzelfde is kun je nooit iets herhalen. Een persistente identiteit met bijbehorende kenmerken is een eerste vereiste om te kunnen samenwerken.
(2) Hiërarchie (aanvallen, ontsnappen): Hoe hoger hoe machtiger. Om te kunnen overleven moet het duidelijk zijn wanneer je moet vluchten en wanneer de kans groot is dat je wint.
(3) Tijdelijkheid (voortbestaan, reproductie, overdracht van kennis & ervaring (= inzicht), verschil, samenkomen, vertrekken, leven en dood, vieren, spel): Als er voor alles een einde is moet het mogelijk zijn om te reproduceren zowel lichamelijk als qua cultuur. Het slagen van een reproductie is een moment waarop men viert. Het einde van een existentie is een moment van droefenis. Reproductie herhaalt hetzelfde maar niet helemaal hetzelfde. Er is sprake van een afwijking of van verschil.
(4) Territorium (exploratie, oriëntatie, beschermen, grenzen, voorspelbaarheid, hulpbronnen, overschotten, markten): Een territorium is nodig om rust te hebben om hulpbronnen op te bouwen en te bewaken. Een territorium moet een duidelijke grens hebben en de overschotten en tekorten van een territorium moeten kunnen worden bewaard en verhandeld.
15: Alan Fiske : Over Menselijke Verhoudingen
Deze problemen kunnen worden afgebeeld naar de vier relationele elementaire sociale relaties van Alan Fiske:
(1) Identiteit->Cummunal Sharing, groen,
(2) Hierarchie->Authority Ranking, blauw,
(3) Tijdelijkheid -> Equality Matching, geel en
(4) Territorium ->Market Pricing, rood.
De sociale relaties kunnen ook worden afgebeeld naar de vier wereldbeelden van PoC.
Die vier relaties van Fiske zijn vooraf gegaan door de agonistische en hedonistische samenleving, waarbij de eerste was gebaseerd op hiërarchie en conflict (territorium, oversprong-gedrag, mannelijk) en de ander op spel/cultuur (tijdelijkheid, vriendschap, vrouwelijk) en samenwerking (identiteit).
16. Menselijke Emoties
Plutchik is vooral bekend geworden door zijn 3D-model van de menselijke emoties. Het model bestaat uit vier primaire emoties met hun tegendeel:
(1) Vertrouwen vs Afkeer, groen,
(2) Angst vs Woede, blauw,
(3) Verrassing vs Waakzaamheid, geel en
(4) Vreugde vs Droefheid, rood.
In het plaatje wordt de intensiteit weergegeven.
Het model van Plutchik is afbeeldbaar op PoC en alle andere modellen die de revue hebben gepasseerd in deze blog. Het model is op vele manieren uitgetest en wordt bijvoorbeeld gebruikt bij het ontwerpen van robots.
17. Menselijke Maat
Volgens de meettheorie is meten het maken van een afbeelding (f) van de buitenwereld (de meting, waarnemen), het waarderen van de meting en het plaatsen van de afbeelding in een abstracte relationele wiskundige wereld (het netwerk-model, groen).
De wijze van afbeelden (de analyse, de methode, de functie f) mag geen invloed uitoefenen op het eindresultaat anders wordt het model veranderd (“bias”). Deze invloed, vertaalt in specifieke eisen wordt een schaal genoemd.
Alan Fiske ontdekte dat zijn theorie over de menselijke verhoudingen (zie Hfdst. 9) ook van toepassing is op de verhoudingen tussen de meetschalen. Mensen nemen naast objecten ook menselijke verhoudingen (een ratio) waar.
De vier schalen zijn ontstaan door “symmetry-braking“. Iedere volgende schaal beperkt de vrijheid van handelen op een formele manier.
de Geometrie van de Verandering
In Communal Sharing is iedere combinatie van identiteiten toegestaan, terwijl Authority Ranking een bepaalde volgorde van deze entiteiten tolereert. Daarna wordt het verschil van de entiteiten (in de zin van afstand) toegestaan en als laatste mogen de verschillen alleen nog meer een eenheid zijn (meetlat).
De Ratio Schaal (Market Pricing) is vergelijkbaar met de Euclidische Geometrie, een ruimte waarin evenwijdige lijnen elkaar niet snijden. Het is de ruimte waarin we denken te leven als we dicht bij huis blijven. In werkelijkheid, als we vanuit de ruimte naar de aarde kijken zien we dat we op een bol leven en snijden de evenwijdige lijnen elkaar weer wel.
De meest vrije geometrie is de Projectieve Geometrie, die verbonden is met Communal Sharing en de Nominale Schaal. In dit geval bestaat de werkelijkheid alleen maar uit kruisende lijnen (een netwerk), waarbij een punt een kruispunt van twee lijnen is (in de N=2 dimensionale ruimte), een lijn een verbinding van twee punten en de onderliggende werkelijkheid een bol (of een anti-bol, een zadelvlak) is.
De symmetrie tussen punt en lijn wordt dualiteit genoemd en is een algemene eigenschap in alle projectieve ruimtes.
De gekromde ruimte is de ruimte van de relativiteitstheorie van Einstein, waarin er geen vast punt is en alles relatief ten opzichte van elkaar beweegt. Alles draait om alles. Communal Sharing is Agile en is de anti-these van Market Pricing.
De Ratio Schaal en de Euclidische Geometrie hebben vrijwel geen mogelijkheid om te transformeren. Ze zitten vast in hun eigen structuur. De werkelijkheid is lineair en de enige toegestane transformatie is vermenigvuldigen.
Market Pricing, de meest gebruikte sociale relatie op aarde, is daarom de meest rigide (anti-agile) en egoistische organisatievorm die er bestaat.
De Nominale Schaal (Communal Sharing (CS)) is een opsomming (bijv. de Politieke Voorkeur van Mensen).
De onderdelen van de schaal (de voorkeuren) kunnen in iedere willekeurige volgorde worden getoond (permutatie).
De deelnemers van een CS zijn voor elkaar inzetbaar en inhoudelijk vervangbaar (“functional redundant”).
Een CS is agile (flexibel) omdat iedere structuur via andere combinaties mogelijk is. CS is de basisvorm van de community.
Wiskundig staat de nominale schaal voor het behoud van de identiteit ( s1=s2 ⇔ f(s1) = f(s2), de permutatie groep).
In de Ordinale Schaal (Authority Ranking (AR)) zijn de onderdelen geordend (bijv. kledingmaten).
De basis-relatie is baas-ondergeschikte. Deze relatie is complementair. De baas speelt zijn rol maar de onderschikte ook.
AR is fragiel omdat de rangorde ook een uniek pad van escalatie bepaalt. Je hebt aan een zet voldoende om de rest van de keten te raken. De ramp is voorgebakken in de ordening en kan door een kleine trigger in gang worden gezet (domino).
Wiskundig staat de ordinale schaal voor het behoud van orde (( s1< s2 ⇔ f(s1) < f(s2)). Deze orde wordt beschreven door monotoon stijgende functies.
De Interval Schaal (Equality Matching (EM), vriendschap) gaat over de verschillen tussen de waarden in de Ordinale schaal.
Voorbeelden zijn de temperatuur-schalen van Celcius en Fahrenheit die geen “echte” nul hebben omdat de verschillen ook negatief kunnen zijn (onder nul).
Bij EM streeft men naar evenwicht door verschillen te beperken (balans, reciprociteit). Iedere deelnemer levert een gelijkwaardige bijdrage. Er moet een evenwicht zijn tussen geven en nemen. EM is veerkrachtig.
Wiskundig gaat het hier om het behoud van verschil (s1 − s2 = s3 − s4 ⇔ f(s1) − f(s2) = f(s3) − f(s4)). Dit behoud wordt vertaald in de lineaire functie (f(x)= ax+b, a>0), vermenigvuldigen en optellen.
In de Ratio schaal (Market Pricing (MP)) zijn de verschillen altijd gestandaardiseerd op één waardoor de getallen in de schaal als Eenheid (meter, kilogram, sec,…) worden gebruikt en de waarde nul de laagste waarde is (Kelvin).
In MP is de relatie gebaseerd op een transactie waarin de partijen gelijkwaardige objecten ruilen. De prijs van het object is meestal gebaseerd op geld.
Relaties worden door middel van de transactie afgewikkeld en van te voren door een contract gedefinieerd. Ze zijn meestal kortstondig van aard.
MP is Anti-Agile. Ze is gemaakt om niet te veranderen (gestandaardiseerd).
Wiskundig gaat het om het behoud van ratio/verhouding: s1/s2 = s3/s4 ⇔ f(s1)/f(s2) = f(s3)/ f(s4). De functie f moet daartoe de vorm f(x)=ax aannemen.
18. Opnieuw over Anti-Fragility
Er is veel reden om aan te nemen dat wat in Panarchy Revolt (Geel-sprong-vertraag-Blauw) wordt genoemd door Nassim Taleb Anti-Fragility (AF) wordt genoemd.
AF is de kunst om een enorme gefrustreerde diversiteit (mythic, geel) op een gezamenlijk doel (unitary, blauw) te richten. Dit gebeurt bij revoluties waarbij de gefrustreerde achtergestelde volksmassa (groen) de positie van de machthebbers (blauw) willen veroveren.
AF veroorzaakt een overgang tussen twee (eco-)systemen waarbij er een nieuwe hogere orde ontstaat.
De nieuwe orde heeft een lager ritme (trager) omdat ze de flexibiliteit van de lagere orde kwijt is geraakt en een grotere reikwijdte heeft.
Door de revolutie is de bureaucratie van de oude structuren opgevuld met de deelnemers die buiten de orde stonden. In wezen verandert er weinig (de ijzeren wet van de oligarchie).
De nieuwe orde heeft een ander concept gevonden voor de diversiteit die onder druk staat. Voorbeeld is de overgang van het eencellige naar het meercellige organisme dat in haar eencellige staat tegen de stroom in moest gaan om voedsel te verzamelen en nu gewoon wacht tot de bruikbare hulpbronnen langskomen.
Zolang het nieuwe plan, model alleen maar in de geest aanwezig is is het model schaal-onafhankelijk (“een visie of een filosofie”).
Zodra men het ontwerp gaat maken (Blauw/rood/-> maken) zal men terug moeten vallen op wat er is of nog veel moeten ontwerpen en bouwen (de “utopie”) om de complete ecologie vorm te geven.
Anti-fragility ontstaat als de onbalans in een Equality Matching-structuur (veerkracht) te groot wordt en de structuur weer naar zijn evenwicht wil terugspringen.
In zo’n geval zijn er drie mogelijkheden (1) de onderdelen gaan terug naar de oorspronkelijke AR (blauw) en worden opnieuw geordend (contra-revolutie) (2) de onderdelen gaan MP (standaardisatie, rood) doen en worden vertaald in (een aantal) eenheden of (3) ze verlaten de huidige ecologie en gaan naar een “hoger” liggende ecologie waar ze ook in een nieuwe AR terecht komen.
Het plaatje laat zien dat Veerkracht (Anti-Fragile) en Fragiel een categorie vormen en dat Agile en Anti-Agile een categorie vormen.Hierbij moet je je afvragen of Anti-Fragiel en Veerkracht niet hetzelfde zijn.
De eerste categorie (Fragiel, Anti-Fragiel) zijn een Vorm waarbij Fragiel een fysieke vorm is (een glas, materie, vast, “aarde”) en Anti-Fragiel een Idee (“lucht”, film, software, media).
Agile en Anti-Agile zijn Samenwerkingsvormen die een proces besturen. In het eerste geval (Anti-Agile) is het proces (een stroomlijn) gefixeerd (standaard, aarde/ijs). Het tweede geval (Agile) is heel flexibel (“water”). Alle paden van de bron stromen naar de zee.
19. Nassim Taleb over de Anti-Fragile-Mens
In het boek Anti-Fragility staan een groot aantal “heuristieken”.
Een paar voorbeelden:
Be less dependent on external material objects
First remove the downside before you add more things to your life to make it better: Ruim eerst je troep op voordat je aan iets nieuws begint.
Seek out novelty:Try as many things as you can and keep your risk low: Dit is vergelijkbaar met de Bijbelse Spreuk “Onderzoekt alles en behoudt het goede”.
Many Small Risks can give a Big Win; Dit is de z.g. Barbell Strategy.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable: Stop trying to be a Machine: Comfort is Not the Human Ideal: Laat je nooit door anderen programmeren met redenen die een risicoloos bestaan garanderen. Uiteindelijk gaat er altijd iets mis of in de buitenwereld of in de binnenwereld en zul je moeten reageren. Als je daarin niet hebt geoefend ben je een willig slachtoffer.
Maintain your mobility; Zorg ervoor dat je altijd in beweging blijft en dus niet om wat voor reden ergens vast komt te zitten. Als je niet op tijd kunt vertrekken kun je getroffen worden door een ramp.
If you have more than one Reason to do something, Don’t Do it: Dit heeft te maken met twijfel, motivatie en vooral ook onduidelijkheid (“elevator pitch”). Als er meerdere redenen zijn zijn er ook meerdere acties die nu nog door elkaar heen zitten.
Stop pretending you know so much about your future and structure yourself to take advantage of opportunities in the future. More Options, Less Plan: De toekomst is niet voorspelbaar dus plannen (voorspelbare acties) gaan altijd ergens mis. Als je dan geen alternatieve paden hebt zit je vast.
Evolution does not need narratives. Taking action now is the best thing to do: De natuur verzint niets. De natuur gebeurt. Er is niets op tegen om zomaar wat te doen en is te kijken wat de uitkomst is. Uitvindingen worden niet bedacht ze zijn vaak een gevolg van een fout of een andere kijk op hetzelfde.
Nimium boni est, cui nihil est mali: The good is mostly in the absence of the bad: The quickest way to riches is to avoid becoming poor. The most effective way to health is to purge the unhealthy. The easiest way to be happy is to remove unhappiness. The fastest way to wisdom is to not be stupid: Het slechte en het goede hebben hun eigen domein. Ingewikkelde problemen moet je niet oplossen maar ze vermijden.
20. De Anti-Fragile Stad
Met behulp van PoC kunnen meerdere lagen van een Ecologie tegelijkertijd worden gemodelleerd. Bovenstaand plaatje toont een model van de Stad in vier lagen (Openbare Ruimte, Sociale Netwerken (verdeeld in Sub-netwerken), Bedrijfsleven (Waarde-ketens/cycli) en Bestuur. Iedere laag bestaat uit vier stappen waardoor er 16 (4×4) knooppunten zijn.
In bovenstaand plaatje wordt de Anti-Fragiele Stad getoond. Het Bestuur van de Stad is het resultaat van een groei-proces (zie Hfdst. 8) dat ontstaat vanuit het waarderen van de bedrijvigheid door het Sociale Netwerk. Het Bestuur van de Stad stuurt de Innovatie via de Creatieve Sector.
21. De Anti-Fragile Mens
Bovenstaand plaatje is een PoC-afbeelding van het MBTI (Myergs Briggs)-model van de Menselijke Persoonlijkheid. MBTI is een interpretatie van de archetypen van Jung die zijn samengevat in het Quaternio.
Het model bestaat uit drie delen:
(1) Observator: Observator-In-de-wereld= Judging vs Observator-Boven-de-wereld = Perceiving.
De observator is een hogere (of lagere) (fractale) vorm van de Quaternio.
(2) Rotatie: Extravert (Met-de-klok-mee-draaien) vs Introvert (Tegen-de-klok-draaien) en
(3) Een 2-combinatie zonder herhaling van de vier “organen”
(a) Thinking (T, Unity, Denken, Blauw),
(b) Sensing (S, Sensory, Waarnemen/Actie, Rood),
(c) Feeling (F, Social, Emoties, Groen) en
(d) Intuiting (N, Mythic, Verbeelding, Geel).
Je bent Anti-Fragiel als je met de Verbeelding (Inzicht, N) een Sprong maakt naar een Ordening (Thinking, T) die boven de Mens uitstijgt (in het domein van de Observator). Hierbij heb je de keuze om in de Lucht te springen (omdat er niets kan worden gemaakt) of om aan te sluiten met wat nu is. Hierbij moet je vaak weer een paar lagen terug gaan om de aansluiting te vinden.
De kortste weg tussen Waarnemen en Anti-Fragiel is om zowel de Emoties (waarderen) als het Denken (waarheid) te negeren. Het gaat hier om “zien” met de verbeelding (“het derde oog”, inzien).
22. De Magier
Het derde oog doet me erg veel denken aan de Magier (Thoht) die de Veerkracht van de Creativiteit (Equality Matching, het Verschil, de Creatieve Spanning, de Levenskracht) gebruikt om het Universum een stap verder te brengen waarbij Ma’at er voor zorgt dat die stap een haalbaar stapje is.
Mijn favoriete tovenaar is Don Juan een magier uit de Toltec-traditie die in de boeken van Carlos Castaneda zijn leerling, Carlos, leert om van de Tonal (het bekende, het talige) naar de Nagual (“het onbekende”, de anti-fragiele wereld) te springen. De Nagual is een hoger dimensionaal gebied waar de tovenaar kan toveren wat hij wil.
Hierbij is het opvallend dat veel van de aanbevelingen van Nassim Taleb in de boeken van Carlos Casteneda terug te vinden zijn wanneer Don Juan Carlos uitlegt hoe hij een impeccable “warrior” kan worden:
The attributes of a warrior are ruthless, cunning, patience and sweetness. The fifth element is not a personal one: timing. With those tools he faces every day life. Ruthless is not cruelty but a lack of self pity. Patience is waiting without rushing. Cunning is to distract the mind from the real issue, so it won’t interfere with the process. Sweetness is simply being nice. Timing is the ability of the warrior to use those four qualities at the right time. The warrior aims to be impeccable in whatever he does, but never takes himself and his actions too seriously, considering them as controlled folly. He acts with sustained effort and unbending intent in order to raise his level of energy.
A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.

“When thou hast made the Quadrangle Round,Then is all the Secret found”. George Ripley (d. d 1490).
This blog is about Logic, Alchemy and the relationship between Logic and Alchemy.
Ripley, The alchemist knew that History Repeats itself All the Time. That’s why you know when you are full Circle or when the Square is Round.
Alchemy is the old Egyptian Art of Transformation summarized in the Latin expression Solve (break down in separate elements) et Coagula (recombined coming back together (coagulating) in a new, higher form)..
Classic Logic is based on the Square of Opposition of Aristotle.
This square was discussed for more than 2000 years. Recently scientists detected that the Square is really a Cube. It misses an extra dimension.
The Square describes the six oppositions (“dual combinations”) of possibility (“some”, Particular Affirmative), necessity (“all”, Universal Affirmative), not-possibility (“not some”, Particular Negative) and not-necessity (“not all”, Universal Negative).
Geometric Logic is a part of Modal Logic which is a part of Logic.
In Geometric Logic the Linguistic Representations of Logic are mapped to the Graphical Representations of Geometry.
Modal Logic works with the notion that propositions can be mapped to sets of possible worlds.
The idea of possible worlds is attributed to the famous mathematician Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716), who spoke of possible worlds as ideas in the mind of God and argued that our actually created world must be the best of all possible worlds. Possible worlds play an important role in the explanation of Quantum Mechanics.
Alchemy is based on the Square of the Four Elements. The Four Elements are oppositions. The oppositions of Alchemy are related to the oppositions of the Square of Opposition of Aristotle in an orthogonal model. They form an arc of 90 degrees, which makes Alchemy the complex part (imaginary) of Logic.
In his work De Arte Combinatoria Leibniz developed a general theory of science that was based on a fusion between Alchemy and Logic.
The two Rotated Squares of Leibniz combine the square of logic of Aristotle with the square of Alchemy both based on oppositions of oppositions.
In this blog I will explain Alchemy and Logic and show that Alchemy and Geometric Logic share the same geometry, the Hexagon (the Seal of Solomon), which is a 2D-mapping of the Cube of Space of the Sefer Yetsirah.

About Alchemy
One of the most complicated ancient architectures is the architecture behind Alchemy. The architecture of Alchemy is full of strange concepts and allegories.
Alchemy comes from the Arabic al-khemia meaning the Black Soil of Egypt (or the ((Egyptian) Black Art). Alchemy is the art of transformation.
Alchemy is an ancient science that was practiced all over the world. The most famous teacher was called Hermes Trismegistus in Greece and Thoth in Egypt. The old science of Hermes came back in the Renaissance.
The essence of Alchemy is called REBIS (Res Bina), Double Matter. REBIS is the end product of the alchemical magnum opus or Great Work. It is the Fusion of Spirit and Matter (the Body). Spirit is the Creative Part of the Human.
Double matter is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the two heads within a single body.
The Stone is the agent of chemical transmutation, and the key ingredient in the creation of the elixir of life, said to heal all diseases, induce longevity and even immortality.
In current Physics transmutation is proved at room temperature in a proces called Cold Fusion.
In Physics one explanation for the fusion between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity is called the Wheeler Feynman Absorber Theory. In this theory the Future causes the Past and vice-versa. We are always in the Now, the Middle between Past & Future.
The Future and the Past are created by the Intention of the Observer, we call Measurement.
The Philosopher Stone
The aim of the Great Work is a fusion with the One (the Blazing Star, Saturn,Point) that is divided in the Two (Sun & Moon, Male & Female, Line) and the Four Planets (Square), the 12 (4×4-4) Constellations or more structures based on a power of a power (of a power….) of 2. The Great Work moves from 2**N, …., Sixteen to Four to Two to One (or from one to two to four) in a Spiraling Spiral Motion.
The One, to which the elements must be reduced, is a little circle in the center of the squared figure (the cross). The cross is the mediator, making peace between the opposition of the planets.
The First Matter is the primordial chaos comparable to what we now call the vacuum, the state of lowest energy. This state contains all possibilities.
It can be looked on as an unorganized state of energy that is the same for all substances and exists in an invisible state between energy and matter.
The First Matter is the One, the Point in the Middle of the Circle. In current physics a point is called a singularity or a black hole.
Alchemy is about Recombination
Alchemy is about re-combination summarized in the Latin expression Solve (break down in separate elements) et Coagula (coming back together (coagulating) in a new, higher form).
Solvite Corpora et Coagulata Spiritus (“dissolve the body and coagulate the spirit”).
Earth (Body) becomes Water (Spirit) by dissolving it in some solvent. Water becomes Air (a moist vapor) by boiling, which further heating turns into Fire (a dry vapor).
Finally Fire becomes Earth by allowing the vapors to condense on a solid material (a stone).
The circulation may repeat if it is done in a reflux condenser, such as the Pelican or kerotakis.
The Pelican is the Symbol of the Heart Chakra the connector between the Upper- and the Lower Triangle of the Body.
According to the early alchemists, the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—come into existence via the combination of specific qualities, recognized as hot, cold, wet, and dry, being impressed on to the Prime Matter. For example, when hot and dry are impressed on the Prime Matter, we have fire.
(Hot and Cold) and (Wet and Dry) are oppositions. Their fusion is the empty set.
(Hot or Cold) and (Wet or Dry) can be combined -> (Hot, Wet), (Hot, Dry), etc.
The Cold allows substances to get together. The Hot is the power of separation.
Wet things tend to be Flexible (Fluent, Movement, Self, Not-Agency) whereas Dry things are fixed and structured (Agency, Resistance, not-Movement).
When the qualities are changed, the elements themselves are changed. Adding Water to Fire substituting wet for dry; hot and dry becomes hot and wet: steam, or Air.
As you can see in de picture below Hot & Cold and Wet and Dry are Binary Opposites (“lines”) that are voided by the central cross, the point of the Empty Set, The Void (A and not-A -> Empty).
Hot & Dry = Fire, Hot & Wet = Air, Cold & Wet = Water and Cold & Dry = Earth.
There are four types of Trinities the Passion-trinity (Dry, Wet, Warm), the Structure-trinity (Dry, Wet, Cold), the Resistance-trinity (Warm, Cold, Dry) and the Movement-trinity (Warm, Cold, Wet).
The Square rotates. The wheel of the Square is driven by the four qualities. Wet on the rising side, Hot on the top, Dry on the descending side, and Cold on the bottom.
The start is powerless (Cold). By becoming more flexible (Wet) success and power comes (Heat). At the top Rigidity (Dry) undermines the system and it falls back to a powerless state.
The Four Elements arise out of the Quintessence, The Fifth Element, The Symbol of The Heart Chakra, the Seal of Solomon
The four Elements all share the Triangle of the Holy Trinity. Every Trinity is seen from another perspective.
The two triangels, The Up-triangel and the Down-Triangel, are Opposites that are created out of two triangels that contain two Opposites that are fused. Humans are opposites in opposition.
Humans can be described as a fusion of two mirrored bilateral triangles, the Up-triangel related to the Top of the Body (Mind) and the Bottom-triangel of the lower Body both connected by the Heart. The two triangels and the separate triangels have to be balanced.
The principle of Balancing the two Triangles of Top & Bottom of the Body is represented by the Egyptian Goddess Ma’at who weights the Heart (the connector of Up and Down) of the Dead with her Feather (Nothing).
As you can see the Square of the Cycle of the Four Elements is visible in the picture below. The total picture shows a Hexagram with a Center (The Cross).
The points that are missing in the Square are the top- and the bottom of the two triangels which are the Whole (Up, Heaven) and the not-Whole, Emptiness, the Bottom (Hell).
The Seal of Solomon
A hexagon is a 2D-projection of a Cube.
The hexagon of Solomon can be transformed into the Cube of Space of the Sefer Yetsirah.
Cube of Space
The Cube of Space can be transformed into the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life also called the tree of knowledge or world tree connects heaven and underworld and all forms of creation and is portrayed in various religions and philosophies all over the world.
The Kaaba is the Cube of Space related to Saturn the Point in the Center of all Rotations. The people simulate the Rings of Saturn, the Son of the Sun.
The Spiral of Alchemy is about the Chemical Transformation of the Body by the Conceptual Transformation of the Mind.
The Tree of Life shows the levels/scales (three) and possible paths of the Opus Magnum, the alchemical journey.
People have always believed in the fundamental character of binary oppositions like Hot & Cold and Wet & Dry are used in Alchemy.
In this part we move to the Field of Logic. In this case Hot/Cold and Wet/Dry transform into Necessary /Not-Necessary and Possible/not-Possible.
Chemical Wedding (Marriage of Opposites)
Oppositions can be divided in:
Digital oppositions, contradictories, contain mutually exclusive terms (Gender (Male/Female)).
Analogue oppositions, antonyms or contraries: contain terms that are ordered on the same dimension (Temperature (Minimum->Cold/maximum->Hot)).
The doctrine of the square of opposition originated with Aristotle in the fourth century BC and has occurred in logic texts ever since.
The logical square is the result of two questions: Can two things be false together? Can two things be true together?
This gives 4 possibilities: no-no: contradiction (A/O, E/I); no-yes: subcontrariety (I/O); yes-no: contrariety (A/E); yes-yes: subalternation (A/I, E/O) better known as implication (A->B).
The four corners of the square represent the four basic forms of propositions recognized in classical logic:
A propositions, or universal affirmatives take the form: All S are P.
E propositions, or universal negations take the form: No S are P.
I propositions, or particular affirmatives take the form: Some S are P.
O propositions, or particular negations take the form: Some S are not P.
The square of opposition was debated for many reasons for more than two thousand years.
One of the discussions is about the difference between possible and necessary. In the so called Master Argument Diodorus proved that the future is as certain and defined as the past. The essence of logic (necessaty) implies the non-existence of freedom (possibility). X is possible if and only if X is necessary.
The term ‘possible’, in Aristotle’s view, is ambiguous. It has two senses known as one-sided possibility and two-sided possibility (or contingency). Being two-sided possible means being neither impossible nor necessary, and being one-sided possible simply means being not impossible.
Leibniz distinguished between necessary Truths for a Reason, which are true for a reason—i.e, their opposite is a contradiction—and contingent truths, (Truth for a Fact) such as the fact that the president of France is François Hollande. A contingent truth cannot be proved logically or mathematically; it is accidental, or historical (based on facts (events)).
About Geometric Logic and n-dimensional “Squares” of Opposition
Modal Logic is about the fusion of necessity and possibility, contingency.
Logical Hexagon
In Modal Logic the propositions are modelled in a logical hexagon where:
A is interpreted as necessity: the two propositions must be either simultaneously true or simultaneously false. A is a Proof or Law.
E is interpreted as impossibility. E is an Observation that contradicts the Proof of A.
I is interpreted as possibility: the truth of the propositions depends on the system of logic being considered . I is an Idea implied by the Proof that Contradicts E.
O is interpreted as ‘not necessarily’. O contradicts A.
U is interpreted as non-contingency: neither logically necessary nor logically impossible, its truth or falsity can be established only by sensory observation.
Y is interpreted as contingency: propositions that are neither true under every possible valuation (i.e. tautologies) nor false under every possible valuation (i.e. contradictions). Their truth depends on the truth of the facts that are part of the proposition. Y is a possible proven theory.
The Logical Hexagon has the same geometry as the Seal of Solomon. It contains the Square of Opposition (A,E,I,O).
The Logical Hexagon can be transformed just like the Seal of Solomon to the Cube of Space now called The Cube of Opposition.
The Hexagon of Opposition is used in Musical Theory
Every opposite can be defined by a string of zero’s and one’s like 1010. An opposite is 0101. This means that there are 2**4/2 = 4×4/2= 16 / 2 = 8 possible opposites. This is called the Octagon of Opposites.
The Octagon contains six reachable and two unreachable points in the Center (0000, 1111), the Empty Set (the Void, the Hole, Contradiction) or its Opposite (The Whole, Tautology).
It is clear that it must be possible to create higher dimensional models based on n-based-logics.
When n becomes very big the geometry will tend to a n-Dim circle in which every point is in opposition to the point at the other side.
The big problem with n-based logics is language. We don’t have the names to articulate the many grades of opposition that are possible.
The other problem is that a negation is not a symmetric operation (A = not-not-A) but a rotation with an angle 360/n.
The Chinese Sheng-Cycle: The Chinese Five Element Model is comparable to the Western Four Element model. It contains as a Fifth Element, the Whole-Part-relationship (Earth, Observer State). Emptiness (Nothing, the Tao) is represented by the recursive Pentangle inside.
Tetralemma (Ancient Indian Logic)
The lesson
“When thou hast made the quadrangle round, then is all the secret found“.
When You have moved once through the Cycle you have seen Everything there is to See. The only way to move out of the Cycle is to jump into the wHole in the Middle.
The secret: It is impossible to move though the center because the paths that go through the center are a contradiction or a tautology (I am what I am, JHWH).
We have to move with the Cycle (making the rectangle round (a circle)), around the Singularity (the Hole of the Whole), going Up and going Down all the time.
The only way to solve this problem is to join the opposites by accepting only one thruth-value, by:
Diminishing the amount of dimensions (“becoming Simple”, “like Children”) by moving up in abstraction (Hot & Cold -> Temperature -> Everything is Energy) to the level of zero dimensions, a point, becoming One with the First Matter (Tao, Vacuum, The Kingdom).
“If we then become children, would we thus enter the kingdom?” Jesus said unto them, “When ye make the two one, and when you make the inside like unto the outside and the outside like unto the inside, and that which is above like unto that which is below, and when ye make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male no longer be male nor the female female; then will ye enter into the kingdom.” (Gospel of Thomas, Logion 22).
Ik ben de enige zoon van een boer uit Wekerom en ben door mijn vader getraind in het boerenvak.
Mijn vader heeft mijn moeder in de oorlog leren kennen en is in haar geboorteplaats blijven wonen.
Wiskundige
Ik ben in mijn geboorteplaats, Leiden wis-natuur-en scheikunde gaan studeren en als wiskundig analist bij de ABN terecht gekomen waar ik snel carrière heb gemaakt als strateeg.
Rond 1997 ben ik een eigen bedrijf begonnen wat zich bezighoudt met Innovatie vooral m.b.v Slimme software.
Voedselketen
Een paar jaar geleden werd ik uitgenodigd voor een bijeenkomst van investeerders in de voedselketen in Wageningen.
Hierdoor werd mijn latente interesse voor de landbouw weer aangewakkerd. Wat mij vooral begon te interesseren was de relatie voedsel en gezondheid. Door het netwerk werd ik steeds doorverwezen naar deskundigen op dit gebied.
Tot mijn verbazing bleek dat al die deskundigen grotendeels in het duister tasten ten aanzien van de relatie voedsel/gezondheid.
Wat is Gezond?
De reden was dat men zich veel te veel had geconcentreerd op de statistiek en onvoldoende had rekening gehouden met het feit dat de mensheid heel divers is.
Als je die diversiteit combineert met het feit dat alle omstandigheden ook weer specifiek zijn kom je uit op een omkering van alles.
De mens heeft behoefte aan specifiek voedsel in specifieke omstandigheden (“personalized food”).
Slimme Technologie
Het model van Smart Computing komt uit de Psychologie.
Het woord Smart betekent dat het gedrag van de software niet is te onderscheiden van het gedrag van een mens. Een goed voorbeeld is de zelf-rijdende auto.
Slimme Voedselketen
In dit document concentreer ik me op de “slimme” voedselketen.
Een slim systeem heeft Zintuigen nodig (sensors), moet zelfstandig kunnen denken (analytics) en handelen (proces management) daarnaast moet het ook kunnen samenwerken (Community) met mensen en andere slimme systemen en overzicht houden (monitoring).
Ketenintegratie en Ketenomkering
Door het inzetten van slimme technologie verdwijnt de fysieke Intermediair.
Productie-Cyclus
Slimme systemen bewerkstelligen keten-integratie en keten-omkering.
De Rechts-draaiendeProductie–Cyclus en de LinksdraaiendeConsumptie-Cyclus worden gekoppeld door verscillende soorten “communities” die betrekking hebben op de verschillende kenmerken van een mens.
Directe Koppeling Producent en Consument
Keten-integratie resulteert in het direct koppelen van consument en producent.
De intermediair in de keten verdwijnt en wordt overgenomen door een (software)-infrastructuur die vaak wordt aangeduid met E-Commerce.
Consumenten kopen steeds meer hun producten in web-shops waarna de producten aan huis worden bezorgd.
Integreren Logistieke Stromen
Het thuis bezorgen gaat een revolutie ontketenen in de stadslogistiek omdat het gebruikelijk concept van het centrale (of regionale) distributiecentrum niet meer nodig is als je instaat bent om verschillende logistieke stromen slim te combineren.
Koppelen Lokale productie aan Lokale Markt
In het eerste stadium werd de web-shop vooral gebruikt om luxe goederen te verkopen maar sinds kort neemt het on-line kopen en bezorgen van voedsel enorm toe.
Autarkie
Een deel of een groot deel van dit voedsel wordt in de nabijheid van de klant geproduceerd en werd vroeger op lokale markten verhandeld. Dit resulteert in een hoog nivo van Autarkie (Zelfvoorziening).
Door de globalisatie worden lokale producten nu de hele wereld over getransporteerd en vice-versa waardoor er erg veel energie verloren gaat.
Bewuste Consumenten
Bewuste consumenten willen weer terug naar lokaal geproduceerde voeding. Dit geldt niet alleen voor voeding maar ook voor energie en werk. Er komt steeds meer behoefte aan zelfvoorziening (autarkie). Het is dan ook niet onwaarschijnlijk dat de lokale markt weer terugkomt.
Keten-omkering wil zeggen dat de consument en niet meer de producent aan het begin van de keten komt te staan. Die consument wordt nu het waarnemingsinstrument, de sensor, van de keten. Wat hem of haar aantrekt wordt uiteindelijk vertaald in een vraag. De grote vraag is hoe de consument zijn vraag kan articuleren.
Niet het produceren maar het consumeren wordt dominant in de waardeketen. De consument moet nog erg wennen aan het feit dat zijn vraag bepalend wordt voor het aanbod.
Steeds meer mensen beseffen dat voedsel heel belangrijk is voor hun welbevinden. Hierbij gaat het niet alleen om de ingrediënten maar ook om de wijze van de productie van deze ingrediënten in de voedselketen. Deze voedselketen integreert en keert net zo hard als alle andere waardeketens.
Voedselleer
De diëtetiek, de voedingsleer, is een hele oude wetenschap. In de preventieve holistische gezondheidsleer van Griekenland, Rome, China en India werd er veel aandacht besteed aan voedsel.
Voedsel in de zin van kruiden was ook het belangrijkste middel om een ziekte te genezen. De kruiden zijn in de loop der tijd getransformeerd in chemische (farmaceutische) geneesmiddelen. Wat veel mensen niet beseffen is dat medicijnen ook voedsel zijn.
De oude wetenschappers waren op de hoogte van het specifieke van het lichaam en de persoonlijkheid en ontwikkelden ook classificaties (de humores en de temperamenten) die tot op heden worden gebruikt in de psychologie (Big Five).
De visie van de beroemde Hippocrates op de diëtetiek wijkt in zijn wezen niet zo erg af van de huidige visie over voedsel. Los daarvan is er erg veel veranderd en die verandering is veroorzaakt door de technologie.
In het begin van de 20ste eeuw kreeg de technologie invloed op de medische wetenschap. Er werd steeds meer kennis verkregen over de onderdelen van het menselijk lichaam waardoor de specialisatie enorm toenam. In 1930 was 25% van de medici gespecialiseerd in 1980 80%.
Door de specialistische visie op de mens is de kennis over de voedselverwerking in het lichaam enorm toegenomen en begint men na het uitzoeken van het menselijk DNA ook steeds meer zicht te krijgen op de specialistische invloed van voedsel op de gezondheid.
Door de specialisatie is het holistische karakter van de geneeskunst grotendeels verdwenen.
Voedselkwaliteit
De invloed van de technologie op de voedselketen is enorm. De productieprocessen zijn opgeschaald en het voedsel is geoptimaliseerd zowel aan de buitenkant als aan de binnenkant. De tomaat van vroeger lijkt door de genetische manipulatie in niets op de tomaat van nu.
Het is de grote vraag of de ingrediënten van het huidige voedsel nog passen op het lichaam van toen.
Daarbij komt dat de bodem (‘de aarde”) steeds meer is ontdaan van zijn natuurlijke samenstelling waardoor ons voedsel belangrijke stoffen (zoals magnesium) mist.
De consument begint zich hiervan bewust te worden door allerlei publicaties en televisieprogramma’s en vraagt steeds duidelijker om gezond voedsel. Wat gezond is, is niet erg duidelijk. Er worden tientallen boeken op de markt gebracht die elkaar soms fors tegenspreken.
Persoonlijke Monitor
Om te voorkomen dat men door de bomen het bos niet meer blijft zien kan de technologie als hulpmiddel worden aangewend. Het wordt tijd voor de Persoonlijke Voedsel Monitor (PVM). Deze monitor moet de match maken tussen het voedsel en mens.
Wat er in het voedsel zit kan binnenkort door de persoonlijke spectrometer real-time in kaart worden gebracht. Op basis van het persoonlijke voedselprofiel kan dan worden bekeken of dit voedsel passend is.
Met behulp van lichaam-sensors in combinatie met een DNA-profiel kan real-time in kaart worden gebracht wat het lichaam op de lange en de korte termijn nodig en niet nodig heeft. Deze behoefte kan worden vertaald in ingrediënten en daarna in producten.
Daarnaast kan de PVM ook helpen bij het geven van inzicht in de relatie lichaam en voedsel door de koppeling aan een slim leersysteem (SLS).
Vraag en aanbod kunnen door de koppeling aan een E-Commerce systeem direct aan elkaar worden verbonden waardoor het “gezonde” voedsel “on demand” kan worden thuis bezorgd.
Als mensen hun persoonlijke data willen delen kunnen we met behulp van statistische analyse-software (“Big Data”) real-time wetenschappelijk onderzoek doen naar de relatie voedsel en gezondheid en de resultaten persoonlijk terugkoppelen.
Hierdoor kun je heel goed zien hoe je “het doet” ten opzichte van mensen die op je lijken. Indien er interesse is kunnen die mensen ook met elkaar in contact komen. Natuurlijk moet er hier goed aandacht worden besteed aan privacy.
Biophotonen
Albert Propp is de ontdekker van de biophoton een lichtsignaal dat iedere cel uitzendt en door het lichaam worden gebruikt voor interne communicatie. Hierbij wordt het DNA als versterker gebruikt.
Roel van Wijk en zijn zoon Eduard hebben bij het inmiddels opgeheven Sino-Dutch Centre for Preventive and Personalized Medicine van TNO in Leiden onderzoek gedaan naar Bophotonen en een meter ontwikkeld waarmee deze zijn te meten.
Het Licht van de cellen wordt in China en India levensenergie (Chi,Prana) genoemd.
M.b.v. de meter is het mogelijk om de kwaliteit van voedsel te meten waarbij het duidelijk wordt dat het voedsel genetisch is gemanipuleerd maar bijv. ook bij eieren wat de levenskwaliteit was van de kip.
AAngezien er hier sprake is van een objectieve meting zou de overheid dit verplicht kunnen stellen of Roel & Eduard kunnen een speciale meter op de markt zetten die de consument zelf kan gebruiken.
Het DNA speelt een heel andere rol dan werd gedacht. Het is een opslagsysteem van de levensloop (inclusief die van de ouders en voorouders en fungeert als een zender en ontvanger voor de communicatie tussen niet aleen de cel-cel-communicatie.
Local energy-companies are part of a movement aimed at Autarky. Autarky is the quality of being self-sufficient.
The word Autarky comes from Greek αὐτάρκεια (autárkeia), itself from αὐτός (autós) = self and ἀρκέω (arkéo) which in its passive form means be satisfied, content or “Out of my own Power“.
The need to become self-sufficient has certainly to do with the current economic-, ecological- and energy crisis. People are afraid that the supply of vital energy and food will suddenly stop or become priceless. This is not the only reason.
Some people think we are wasting our money, food and energy by producing nondurable throw-away goods in which the packaging is sometimes more important than the content. They want to create durable products and services. This is not the only reason.
Some people don’t trust the suppliers of their food and energy, their politicians and/or the caretakers of their savings, the banks, anymore. They believe that their food is intentionally manipulated, their savings are wasted, their country is sold out to the rich and their environment is polluted for just one simple reason, Greed, the opposite of “Being Satisfied”.
The people of the autarkic movement want to recreate the necessary functions (bank, energy, food, work, healthcare, government) themselves in a cooperative way in their own living context.
The local cooperatives are now joining on a higher (mostly country) level and are in need of a shared (real-time)infrastructure. The current infrastructure does not support flows that move between many participants (so called peer-to-peer-networks).
The current system is a Hierarchic Top Down System containing Huge Highways that are connected to Big Production-facilities. This makes it impossible to consolidate, share and distribute resources peer-to-peer on a local level.
The Top Down System has created Global Markets where the local production is sold to the highest bidder.
The Global Markets are the playing field for advanced speculators that make a lot of money. After the deal is made the local production is transported to a far away destination. That is the reason why the Top Down Systems are integrated in world-wide Logistic Systems.
If we want to coordinate all the local initiatives we need advanced systems that Up- and download, control, predict, connect, share, balance and distribute vital local resources on the short and long term.
In Nature we find comparable (Fractal) Distribution-Systems in the Lungs, the Arteries, Riverdelta, the Weather Cycle and Ecologies.
All of these fysical Flow Systems, that map 1 Resource-> on Many Resources or Many Resources->on 1 Resource, are based on the third Law of Thermodynamics called Constructal Law.
Virtual Power Plant
In the philosophy of the Stoics and Cynics of Ancient Greece the perfect human was not only arete (“all-around excellent”) but also independent of every need. Arete was associated with a full life as a citizen of a city.
Autarky was the ideal of a complete man who needed no one and no organization. This ideal can also be found in Zen Buddhism, Taoist practise, Early Christians (Nazarites), the Catholic Order of the Franciscans and the Protestant Quakers.
In reality it is almost impossible to be completely self-sufficient as a lonely human being. We need others when we are young, sick and old and we need others because we are specialized (“Talented”). Autarky is a possible aim for a small community.
Resource Balancing in Nature (Lungs, RiverDelta)
The religious, cultural and political movements at the left and the right aimed at living the “good life” (“Living Slow“) are converging in the movement of the Cultural Creatives. The Cultural Creatives are the new Elite that is moving to the AND-state (Left AND Right).
They don’t believe in the old Competitive Ideologies (Socialist, Capitalist, Religious, Liberal, Nationalist, Conservative, Globalist, etc..) but want to focus on the Shared Collaborative Values between all Humans. We all need Love, Food and Shelter.
Autarky has always been a major political aim of countries. Autarky is about the possibility to control your own future and to become independent of other powers that could use your dependency to tell you what to do to get what you desperately want.
At this moment the shortage of fossil fuels, especially oil and gaz, is used to influence the policy of other countries and is the cause of local conflicts in the Middle East.
China is buying all kinds of vital materials to make sure their economy will not become dependent on others. If they will succeed and nobody doubts about that, they will become the economic controlling power of the world.
Reaching a state of local autarky, being satisfied with what your environment provides you, has become the aim of the wordwide sustainability movement.
A strive for (regional) Autarky pushes the need to innovate to a higher level because not all regions contain the right materials, knowledge or experience to realize everything everybody needs. To become fully Autarkic the Production and Consumption Systems in the Region have to be based on simple concepts and parts that are available everywhere. Simple concepts are concepts that are easely copied.
The only way to combine Simple and Complex concepts is to use the Concept of Self-Reference (Fractals). The only way to make use of parts that are available everywhere is to make use of the Simple Building Blocks of Nature. A good example is the use of algea in food processing.
The concept of Autonomy not only plays an important role on the many levels of human (personal, organization, country) and animal society (Competitive vs Collaborative (Ants)). It is also a major subject in the research of (Second-Order) Cybernetics (Control Theory).
Self Reproducing Fractal Systems
Second Order Cybernetics is concerned with the Control of the System of Systems (the Meta-System). Hierarchy is not the solution to this problem because it leads to the logical problem of Infinite Regress (“Turtles on turtles on … all the way down”).
The Meta-System is controlling, reproducing and balancing itself by a Fractal Feedback-Cycle that moves Backwards (Consumption) and Forwards (Production).
A System is an Autarky if all its Levels are capable of Self-Reproduction.
If a human wants to become self-sufficient he has to accept and develop his own talent and find complementary people so he is able to create a Self-Reproducing Unit.
The smallest Self-Reproducing Unit in Human Society is the Family living in one House. This House has to produce more than enough Energy and the Garden has to produce more than enough food to support the Family.
If we cluster all these Self-Reproducing Families/Houses & Gardens in a small City the chances are high that the combined talents of the families will be able to supply every profession needed if the people of the city want to Live a Simple Life.
It is also possible that the surplusses and shortages of the families can be compensated by creating a Market on the level of the small City or one level higher, the Region.
An Autarkic Movement becomes an Aggressive Competitive Nationalistic Movement when the Citizens of the Country feel that their Country is plundered by outsiders and their Leaders promise to get it all back by expanding the Space to Live (“Lebensraum“) to facilitate everything that is needed.
This happened when Germany was preparing for War after the enormous reparation payments of 132 billion gold marks to the Winners of World War I.
The Autarkic Movement could also become a Peaceful Cooperative Social Movement like the Movement of Gandhi in India when the people accept the Good Life they already live and want to share the surpluses with others who are in a worse state.
A power law relates one variable to another raised to a constant power. The general form takes y = xa, where y and x are variables, and a is a constant exponent.
A power law exhibits the property of scale invariance. When you multiply the Scale (x) with a factor b the function (y = baxa) does not change its Shape.
In 1817 Goethe wrote his book ”Zur Morphologie“. This book was the start of a new science called Morphology, the Science of the Shapes.
In his book Goethe describes the so called Uhrplant, the Primal Plant, which is based on the shape of the Leaf. Goethe believed that every Plant was a Leaf within a Leaf within a Leaf.
At the time of Goethe the concept of the fractal was not known. It was developed in 1975 by Benois Mandelbrot (“The Fractal Geometry of Nature”).
A fractal is a self-similar structure. It’s shape repeats itself on every level of expansion. Some fractals are scale-invariant.
About Kleiber’s Law
Metabolism is the process by which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. During this complex biochemical process, calories in food and beverages are combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function.
The oldest and best known Power Law is Kleiber’s law devised by the Swiss-American zoologist Max Kleiber in 1932.
Kleiber’s Law, MR = W3/4, describes the relationship of the metabolic rate (MR) to the biomass W, raised to an exponent.
Kleiber’s law means that a cat’s metabolic rate is not a hundred or 21.5 times greater than a mouse’s, but about 31.6 — 100 to the three-quarter power.
This relationship seems to hold across the animal kingdom and it has since been extended all the way down to single-celled organisms, and possibly within the cells themselves to the internal structures called mitochondria, the cellular powerplants, that turn nutrients into energy. Mitochondria have many features in common with bacteria.
Because of Economies of Scale, larger and more complex forms of organisms need less energy for each individual cell. They grow and reproduce more slowly and they live longer.
Goethe was right. The leaf is a one of the fundamental structures of Nature.
The factor 3/4 (3/3+1) is a consequence of the fact that a Fractal Structure has to incorporate a not-Fractal Structure, 3-Dimensional Space.
About Bilateria
About 590 million years ago, the Central Nervous System (CNS), the Brain, appeared.
The organisms with a CNS (including the Humans), the Bilateria, are able to Act and React to a Possible Harmful Stimulus.
The CNS of the Bilateria is a result of an Increase in Competition between the Life Forms that came out of the Continuing Fusion of the Cooperative Life Forms, the Bacteria. The first step in this proces was the Tube of the Sponge.
The fundamental Bilaterian Body Shape is a Tube running from Mouth to Anus, and a second Tube called the Notochord, with an especially large Sphere at the front, called the “Brain“.
The Bilateria have Five Body Spheres (1) the Brain; (2) the Spinal Cord; (3) the Heart and Lungs; (4) the Digestive Organs and Kidneys; (5) the Bladder and Reproductive organs.
About the Tiny Spheres of the Lungs
When we look at the Lungs, one of the Fractal Tube-like branching-structures of the human organism, we can see that the Branches end in Nodes called the alveoli(“little cavities“). The end-nodes of the branching system are tiny Spheres.
In the tiny Spheres the Exchange takes place of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen between the Lungs and the Blood-Vessels. Each human lung contains about 600 million alveoli.
Water diffuses from the alveoli cells into the alveoli so that they are constantly moist. Oxygen dissolves in this water before diffusing through the cells into the blood.
The Oxygen-rich blood returns to the Heart via the pulmonary veins to be pumped back into circulation. The Carbon Dioxide is pumped out by the Lungs.
In the many million Small Spherical End-Nodes Two Circulatory Systems, the Cardiovascular System (Heart) and Pulmonary System (Lungs), are Connected.
The Big Structures of Nature are able to Scale because the Connection-Points of the Networks are Very Small.
They are reusable on Every Scale that is Bigger than the Scale of the Connection Points.
We will see that all the other Fractal Systems in our Body are based on the Same Principle.
About the Tube of the Digestive System
The Tube contains the Digestive System. It breaks-down larger food molecules into smaller ones that can be absorbed into the blood stream. This happens in the Small Intestine in the vili and microvilli.
The villi (“shaggyhair“) are tiny, finger-like projections that are approximately 0.5-1mm in length. The microvilli are mechanosensors and have a lot in common with the flagellum (“the roter“) of a bacterium. Microvilli appear in many places in the body. They are also of importance on the cell surface of white blood cells, as they aid in the migration of white blood cells.
The Tube of our Digestive System is highly similar to the Tube of the Sponge, the first fusion of the Bacteria in a more efficient metabolic structure.
The Output part of the Tube is called the Large Intestine (Colon). Its function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter, and then to pass Useless Waste Material from the body. The large intestine houses over 700 species of bacteria that perform a variety of functions.
About the Chemical Factory of the Liver Cell.
The Liver is a Fractal Branching System that detoxifies harmful substances absorbed via the Small Intestines. It’s basic structure is the Liver Cell.
The Chemical reactions in the liver cells produces a lot of waste heat. This is carried round the body in the blood and warms less active regions.
The Liver regulates the amount of Blood Sugar, Lipids, Amino Acids. The Liver is the Storage House of Blood, Iron, Vitamine A, D, B12 and Clycogen, the Source of Energy of the Body.
The Liver produces Bile that is stored in the Gall Bladder. Bile is used to dissolve fat.
About the Spleen and the Immune System
Another Fractal Branching System, the Lymphatic System ( “The Immune System“, Spleen), maintains the health of the body by protecting it from invasions by harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These pathogens are the cause of many diseases, so it is necessary to detect and eliminate them rapidly.
The Lymphatic System is connected to the Blood System and produces the White Blood Cells (Lymphocites). The Lymphocites are the Basic Unit of the Human Defense System. They look like Bacteria.
The surface of a lymphocyte is covered with a large number of identical receptors. Recognition and destruction occurs when the receptors of the lymphocyte fit like a key into the surface of the pathogen.
The Immune System is a Highly Adaptive System. It is able to generate new types of Lymphocites out of a Library of DNA-components.
About the Kidneys and the Bladder
The Kidneys serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove wastes which are diverted to the urinary bladder. The Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. In humans, a normal kidney contains 800,000 to 1.5 million nephrons. Nephrons are wave-like structures. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood.
The Ancient Chinese Scientists believed that this System pumps its Energy, the Chi Force, out of the Earth Magnetic Field.
The Ancient Egyptian Scientists believed the same thing. They named the Four Cavities the Four Suns of Horus and the Spine, the Djed Pillar (Dj means “Snake”).
About the number Five
The number Five (4 +1 ) plays an important role in Ancient Chinese Medicine.
The Central Fractal System, the One (1), the Fire System, the Blood System, with its Center the Heart, contains Four (4) Links to the Other Systems.
The Four Systems are combinations of Two Forces, Expansion and Compression.
The Two Forces came out of One Force (“The Void“).
Two Systems contain the same combination (Expansion x Expansion (Wood, Gall Bladder, Liver, Three Heater), Compression x Compression (Metal, Lungs)).
Two Systems combine Expansion and Compression in a different order (Expansion x Compression, Compression x Expansion). They create a Wave (Water, Bladder, Kidney) or Spiral -like (Earth, Immune System) structures.
The Five Spheres of the Body are incorporated in one Super Protective Sphere, the Coelum, the Skin.
In the Human Embryo the First step of Division of the Cells is between the Coelum,the Multi-Cellar Body, and the Brain, the CNS. In the first step the One was divided into the Two, the Actor and the Monitor.
The CNS “mirrors” the activities of the Body and acts as a “predictive simulator”.
The Shape of the CNS is a mirror (Up-Side-Down) of the Shape of the Multic-Cellular Body.
The Bilateria are a Fuse of two Organisms in which one organism changed into the Body and the other changed into the Brain.
These two structures are always competing in the Human Being.
The Brain is Looking Up at the Sky. The Body is Looking Down at Mother Earth, it’s Creator.
The Body Shape of the Tube was inherited from the first Multi-Cellular Organism, the Sponge. The Sponge is a Static Cluster of Amoeba, free moving bacteria, that are propelled by their flagellum (a Roter).
Bacteria are small chemical factories that are able to share and combine their production processes by exchanging DNA.
With their flagellum the Bacteria Explore the environment to find the chemical food they need. When they have found food the Circulation of the Flagellum moves into the Opposite Direction.
The bacterium integrates incoming chemical signals during a few-second period of its travels, and adjusts its direction of advance accordingly.
The integration is achieved through temporary chemical modifications to molecules located in the bounding membrane, which transfer nutrients to the cytoplasm, and also through changes to certain other molecules in the interior of the cell. Such integration is essentially a short-term memory mechanism.
At a certain moment the Bacteria got together because the Sponge is a much more Efficient Metabolic Structure than a group of Free Moving Bacteria.
Strangely enough the DNA of the Sponge already contains the complete Bleuprint of the Humans.
Scientists now believe that most species on earth are a result of a loss of DNA from the original Bleuprint that was created when the Bacteria finally fused into one Organism.
About the Nano-Level
Recently scientists have found Electric Fields as strong as 15 million volts per meter in the Nano-Parts of the Cells. These fields are as strong as those produced in lightning bolts.
It’s not clear what causes these strong fields or what they might mean but they could account for a until now unknown (by Science) or well-known (by the Old Scientists, Chi) Source of Bodily Energy.
The nano-parts of the Cell could be the very very very small universal building blocks of Nature.
What has Happened?
In the beginning the Chemical Soup generated Self-Reproducing Chemical Factories.
These Factories combined into bigger Factories by exchanging and combining their factory-designs.
Every time when the Factories fused they became more Efficient, Bigger, Stronger, Older and therefore more Competitive.
When the Factories became more competitive they had to Protect themselves against the other Factories.
To Protect themselves the Multi-Cellular Systems started to Sense in Many Directions.
In the second step one part of the Organism turned Upside-Down and became a Specialized Predictive System (the CNS).
This part fused with the Bodily Part creating one Organism that contained Two Organisms.
The Bilateria, the Organisms with Two Complementary Parts, Body and Mind, were born.
Some of the Bilateria called Humans fused in Social Structures and the Social Structures fused and fused and became more efficient, bigger, stronger, older and therefore more competitive.
In due time they will Rule the Earth and will start to create bigger and bigger systems until they will rule the complete Universe.
To make this possible the Humans need every other part of Nature to Sustain their Growth. This will certainly result in a huge Collapse of their own Eco-System.
The main reason this is happening is that the Humans forgot to Copy the Designs of Mother Nature.
The Brain (Thinking and Sensing, Left Brain), Looking Up at the Sky, believed it could do a much Better Job than it’s counterpart the Multi-Cellular Body (Emotions and Imagination, Right Brain), Looking Down at the Earth, the Source of All Creation.
Kleiber’s Law shows that we are now using 122 times more Energy per Person than we really would need if we would Scale in the right way.
What can we learn from Kleiber’s Law?
All organisms including the humans depend for their maintenance and reproduction on the close integration of numerous subunits.
These components need to be serviced in a relatively `democratic’ and efficient fashionto supply energy, remove waste and regulate activity.
Natural Selection solved this problem byevolving hierarchical fractal-like branching networks, whichdistribute Energy, Information and Materials between Big Reservoirs (“Lungs”) and Small Connection Points (“Alveoli”) of other Circulatory Systems (“Blood”).
This Fractal Bottum-Up approach is highly effective and efficient.
The not-fractal, Top-Down, machinery designed by the Humans is Scaled with a factor 1 so we can improve a lot by copying Mother Nature.
The colors in this picture relate Panarchy to the Theory of Change Paths of Change. (PoC) Poc is a Fourfold model based on the Quaternion of Jung.3D model of Panarchy 2D model of Panarchy.
In 2002 the book Panarchy: Understanding Transformations in Human and Natural Systems, (Gunderson, L.H and Holling, C.S (eds)) was published. To my knowledge this is one of the most important books of our time.
Panarchy is the first theory that is able to explain the behavior of complex ecosystems. It is an integration of many former theories in economics, biology, ecology, sociology, mathematics, psychology and other sciences.
Have a look at RA to learn more about Panarchy. You will be surprised by the amount of interesting articles and insights.
In this blog I will use long citations: “The world has not collapsed because natural ecological systems have the resilience to experience wide change and still maintain the integrity of their functions.
The world also has not collapsed because of human behavior and creativity. People do learn, however spasmodically. Change and extreme transformations have been part of humanity’s evolutionary history. People’s adaptive capabilities, have made it possible not only to persist passively, but to create and innovate when limits are reached.
The controls determined by each set of biotic structuring processes within terrestrial ecosystems are remarkably robust and the behaviors resulting are remarkably resilient. That robustness comes from functional diversity and spatial heterogeneity in the species and physical variables that mediate the key processes that structure and organize patterns in ecosystems and landscapes.
The stability domains that define the type of system (e.g. forest, savanna, grassland, or shrub steppe) are so large that external disturbances have to be extreme and/or persistent before the system flips irreversibly into another state. Except under extreme climatic conditions, Mother Nature is not basically in a state of delicate balance. If She were, the world would indeed have collapsed long ago“.
The books starts with a description of the five metaphors or world-views that are used to look at Nature. These metaphors are the same metaphors Bhaktin uses to describe the proces of the evolving narratives in human culture.
The World-Views are connected to Mathematical Models that are commonly used in Science to explain an Ecology. The authors show that every model has its consequences. The most beautifull thing they show is that these models are not wrong. They are needed to keep the Cycle of the Ecology running.
What they also show is that a Panarchy-cycle uses a memory when the Ecology is collapsing. Somewhere a small area is preserved. It contains the “seeds” of the new Cycle. We have to look back when we want to move foreward. We also have to look back to learn feom our mistakes. “People do learn, however spasmodically”. Learning is not copying. We have “to create and innovate when limits are reached”.
Somewhere in History the Seeds of the New Cycle are available. A beautifull example is the Sacred Groove. It is a place where very old trees are preserved by the local community. They need the trees to aquire medicine to cure deseases or snake bites.
Because the new Cycle has to be based on Harmony I feel you have to have a look at China. China is not only the Economy Power that is able to destroy the World when it moves on the way it moves. It is also the Culture where Harmony was the basic Concept. When you read my blogs you will see that I use many Chinese Concepts to explain.
The theory is a Self-Referencial (“Fractal”) theory and uses the Moebius Ring as the central concept. You understand why I was flabbergasted when I found Panarchy on the Internet.
The last thing that made me very enthousiastic is the name Panarchy. It is based on the name of the Old Greek God of Joy and Nature, Pan.
Pan was “Goat-legged, enthusiastic, a lover of ectacy, dancing among the stars, weaving the harmony of the Cosmos into playfull song” (The Orphic Hymns). The myth was told in Early Creece that he had left the Earth. It is of a high urgency that we ask Pan to come back. We can only save Mother Nature when we become enthusiastic again to weave Harmony all over the World.
Pan is also the God of Dance and Rythm:
“Complex natural systems work in rhythms – with a front-loop phase of slow, incremental growth and accumulation, and a back-loop stage of rapid reorganisation leading to renewal, to, collapse. The front-loop phase is more predictable with higher degrees of certainty.
In both the natural and social worlds, it maximises production and accumulation. The consequence of this is an accumulation and concentration of wealth, but also emergence of greater vulnerability, due to the increasing number of interconnections that link that wealth, and those that bear it, in efforts to sustain it.
Little time and few resources are available for alternatives that explore different visions or opportunities. Emergence and novelty is inhibited. This growing connectedness leads to increasing rigidity in its goal to retain control, and the system becomes ever more tightly bound together. This reduces resilience and the capacity of the system to absorb change, thus increasing the threat of abrupt change.
We can recognise the needs for change but become politically stifled in our capacity to act effectively. Wealth and broadening wealth accumulated to lead to our present vulnerability on a world stage.
We are entering the back loop of re-organisation that entails the collapse of accumulated connections, the release of bound up knowledge and capital. But it also opens a creative potential and the opportunity for ‘creative destruction“.
The World and Our Society is now in the non-predictable back-loop stage of rapid reorganisation, creative destruction, collaps and renewal. It will soon jump back to an early stage where the Seeds of the New Cycle of Creation are Stored.
Because the Long Term Cycle of Earth is now Collapsing we have to look back for a long time to find the Seeds. The most impressive collaps of our World happened when the Great Flood appeared at 3117 BC.
Strangely enough 3117 BC is the start of the Mayan Calendar and the Indian Kali Yuga (“The Dark Age“). Before that time the Humans lived in the Green Sahara also called Paradise. At that time Pan, the God of Nature, was still there.
Do we have to move back to Paradise to Start All over Again?
