Kant's Categories Were Mile Markers for Cognition

 I don't know of a better schema than the posteriori, a priori and synthetic a priori. It's just a stage on life’s philosophical way of developing understanding of mind and its place in nature. With quantum mechanics knowledge and the Higgs field basically affirming Kant’s position on the noumenon Kant’s outlook remains solid enough. It doesn’t preclude Platonic realism concerning forms and theories about how quanta are configured; yet no one understands the deepest layers of space-time these days.

People speculate about what supports the quantum entanglement Universe phenomena in four dimensions and it is just theory. String theorists proposed 11 dimensions with just four manifested yet it seems more logical that just two dimensions underlie the Universe of entanglement and the doubling of dimensions is an emergent phenomenon of entanglement. It is popular these days to use the Plank length as a mystic limit below which marvelous things such as a Multiverse occurs with very tiny people of angelic disposition living as it were, on the head of pins, yet the limits of verification are obvious- the right answer could be just two dimensions and then nothingness from which something emerged with the Word of God.

Schopenhauer attempted to continue Kant's work in The Fourfold Roots of Reason with a more physicalist approach and though it starts out brilliantly and narcissistically, it peters out with theories about the eye and optics.

Plato’s realism could be reverse engineered in a way from Aristotle's classifications and categories maybe. Sorting forms of things perceived into categories of forms that break down in the temporal implicitly leads to a theory of forms that don’t break down. That reminds me of atomic structure theories and the Pauli exclusion principle that just one electron can be in an orbit and if two, one must have an opposite spin. 

Kant’s work was great for a couple of centuries ago. People have advanced the realm of knowledge, theory and uncertainty since. Like the thousands of people that have tried to disprove Descartes’ Meditations they might develop instead a better appreciation of the contribution and not try to put new wine into old wineskins.

Bigger than a Bread-box, the Universe Isn't a Neural Network

 The Universe of four dimensions may be an emergent concatenation of quantum entanglements of a primary two-dimensional Universe. It would probably be an error to assume that a Universe could from nothing configure itself in four dimensions as a neural network. It is also perhaps logically incorrect to guess that the Universe appeared from more than four dimensions to start with-as in 11 dimensions or something complex rather than irreducibly simple. God could have issued one dimension and let it double to two and that filled with massless waveicles. When those entangled one and two dimensions have four, inflation and the Big Drum follow with the expanded Universe. Inside black holes four dimensions may reduce to two then one and probably not quite zero dimensions. Expecting a neural network to appear in one organic Universe arising from nothing except the will of God is like expecting evolution to generate a very complex human-type organism from microbes immediately, and that does seem improbable.

Dionysian Post-Modern Liberalism Seeks to Take the Metaphysics High Ground

 Interesting idea-A Finnish philosopher- Jussi Backman writes that anti-liberal theory of reality is arising that allows local, national self-determination of metaphysics points instead of accepting a post-modern idea of liberalism. The conservative approach is supposed to be accepted by Russian President Putin. So Mr. Putin is not only a nationalist seeking national self-realization through history, he is anti-liberal! Evidently N.A.T.O. members need war on metaphysics as well as Russia from a Finnish perspective. Capturing the high ground on the metaphysics battleground might be regarded as a patriotic duty for post-modern liberals in the war of expansion eastward.

Reading Sein und Zeit in translation long ago didn’t provide great illumination for me as Heidegger’s pursuit of the roots of language seemed too located in philology for my preference. Nietzsche was another philologist German searching for something that he found in a sort of science fiction madness of eternal recurrence rendering meaningless the society and its moral values he perceived as ultimately ossified. Sartre’s approach to existence and an account for human behavior through ossified praxis, semiotics and phenomenal dialectical reason seemed more functional and immediate. I don’t regard any of that as metaphysics though, except in a minor, derivative way.

I took a course at coursera named ‘Søren Kierkegaard – Subjectivity, Irony and the Crisis of Modernity’ that was a broad view of society comparing Kierkegaard and Socrates view of social irony and the way the masses are acculturated. Socrates began the process of examining social beliefs and deconstructing them revealing their unsupported basis and incorrect assumptions. The course is somewhat droll from an American perspective and simultaneously brilliant. One encounters the left-wing Hegelians and followers of 19th century German romanticism with their disdain for social morals. I recommend the course for anyone. That last part makes it quite worthwhile.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/kierkegaard

Europeans though seem quite confused about social reality, philosophically. I think Sartre had the analysis right. Europeans have been traumatized by war and were splintered into nations and evolved from different cultures, had a sea of different social classes and economic theories for correcting that (e.g. Karl Marx). Ideas about unifying and overcoming the differences jostled with racism North-South, colonialism, post-colonialism (e.g. Algeria, Kenya, South Africa) and dynastic changes in leadership (e.g. French and german revolutions) brought a lot of self-reflection and a quest for theories to explain it all.

Ortega y Gasset’s ‘The Revolt of the Masses’ anticipated World War Two and examined the effect of new economic effects of modern technology like radio and mass production of cars and such upon society. Europeans have created a lot of theories about ‘metaphysics’ to explain their trans-nationalism and wars of conquest even upon each other as fellow, rival nations, religions and theories. Even evolution is a basis for eugenics theories of supremacy (i.e. fascism) and supports post-modernist interpretations of liberalism that rendered western liberalism a into a kind of Frankenstein’d upgrade to the Cult of Dionysius in the name of Orwell’s soma and a Big Brother State wherein morality and epistemology are entirely subjective phenomena. If one takes western liberalism as originating with Jesus Christ, God (the Jews wanted a king, God wanted Jews to have a democracy, yet because the Jews insisted he sent them Saul who was wandering about trying to find his missing ass, to be their King). Magna Carta and Adam Smith’s economics it is a hard graft of decadent morals of the modern left onto the tree of liberalism to bring it to bare a poisoned fruit that splinters society along lines of traditional moral norms and Dionysian values.

Effacing traditional morality to replace it with post-modern Dionysian liberalism occurs simultaneously with the global concentration of wealth. In the post-industrial global state individualism of the masses conserving their personal wealth is replaced by consumerism and mass indoctrination in marketplace values set by those with no moral boundaries. This notion of western liberalism as an agent of universal global right to power is a cultural imperialism at war on good sense and reason; better suited for a mileau of post-industrial Dionysian liberal use of mind-altering drugs.

Europeans will generate new and surpassing theories of social reality entitling them to run roughshod over Russians and anyone else that seems resistant to their will-to-political power. The problem isn’t with liberal economics or environmental economics and challenges or metaphysics; it is simply in failing human understanding and pragmatism and premises of classical liberalism that is rooted in the properties of rights, and right of property that is the foundation of the American west. Post-modern liberalism is at war on classical liberalism and would concert it into socialism or Dionysian socialism/corporatism. In either case the individual loses the right of self determination as do nations.

Europeans are simply confused about social reality because it concatenates from so many languages and directions. An external unifying opponent tends to overcome the confusion. They invent a challenge and provide a response for themselves- hence the Ukraine conflict that could easily have been avoided and/or solved peacefully with a proper rectification of the carpet-bagging land grab at the end of the Soviet Union that divested Russian of historically Russian real estate.

Replying to 'If God is Perfect He Would Make a Perfect World'

 “If God is perfect then he would create a perfect world, with perfect bodies and minds of his children.”- said a writer. Perfection simply means to copy an original exactly or to follow a standard or reach a target goal without sin (missing the mark). Any creation of God would be less than God and therefor imperfect. Yet originals don’t need to be perfect because they aren’t copies; they are what they are. One must stipulate that whatever God creates is perfect because it is His original creation. In the divine economy of God creatures with free will need to be able to meet certain moral and intelligence standards or be lost to worse hells than are imaginable. The fallen need rely on the grace of God for donated perfection/course correction through The Son Jesus Christ.

Plotinus allowed broken forms to exist- imperfections. The world is of the fallen. The Bible is said to describe actions of evil caused by people as wickedness, natural calamities as evil. Thermodynamics are at the core of the quantum entangled Universe. People cannot even interpret Genesis correctly, much less make general theories about it that are valid. Do most know what the protoevangelium is? It seems evident that Adam and Eve (adamas means brown dirt in Semitic languages) were tested temporally and after failing to meet the mark of obedience placed into a pre-existing world. Eden may have been located in Younger Dryas lower Mesopotamia. It was a time when humans differentiated themselves from animals by demonstrating that they knew they were naked and lnew the difference between good and evil. Do even chimps or ravens know they are naked? The first human proto-civilizations began around 14-15 thousand years B.C. God is far more advanced than the creatures he lets exist in his contingent Universe. Bible exegesis may develop on many levels simultaneously, and they tend to reflect one’s level of knowledge at the time.

The Destined Chimp Genius of Government?

 Artificial General Intelligence is supposed to be a great improvement over the present deep learning A.I.s it should be able to communicate about anything without anyone noticing a difference between a human and itself, except for it being far smarter. A.I.s will never become conscious unless or until someone makes an effort for it to be so. programming code written in any way won't become self-aware. Probably it would need to be an organic model of something with a mind that with the A.G.I upgrade becomes self-aware. Maybe a chimp brain could someday be fused with A.G.I. so it could become The Great Ape Genius Ruling Humanity.

I asked Gemini for a joke; "A philosophy professor is teaching a class, and he asks, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

A student raises their hand and says, "Depends. Is anyone filming it for TikTok?""

Time as an Illusion of Quantum Entanglement

 I'm not an expert on the theory. It's a tough new paradigm to think about. I will describe my point of view about it though.

It is a theory derived from quantum mechanics. You probably know about quantum entanglement and how entangled particles seem to be able to exchange information faster than light, even if they are dozens of miles or theoretically thousands or millions of miles apart. Einstein called that ‘spooky action at a distance’. He was a skeptic.

Quantum entanglement has been demonstrated numerous times experimentally. The explanation for that is that time does not exist in a deeper reality more fundamental than the one humans experience in the Universe of mass and space. It is an interesting paradigm to consider.

Plato thought about a timeless realm of forms apart from this Universe and its content of mass, He thought an original form or blueprint of the structure of everything that exists in this Universe existed originally in that metaphysical realm; everything is this Universe is an imperfect copy of a blueprint from that realm. Some of the copies are broken forms.

Plotinus- a neo-Platonist philosopher who St. Augustine followed before converting to Christianity, developed an entire book named The Enneads (it means 54 tracts) to describe the relationship of The One (aka. God), The Intelligence (comparable to the Word of God), the Realm of Forms and the world created. The realm of forms is timeless and The One is ineffable and unapproachable. Jesus Christ said that no one has seen The Father except himself, and that if you have seen him you have seen God.

The physics of the new theory are equally without time. There was a physicist named Hugh Everett who invented a Multiverse theory based on statistics I believe it was. He worked for a government military think tank and speculated that instead of a wave-function collapse when quantum particles are observed (one can determine position or speed yet not both simultaneously, logically) a new universe exists matching the new information of the particle. He thought there were an infinite number of Universes in existence, perhaps without time in any (they are fully developed from alpha to omega already (maybe God created or thinks them) and though just travels to an appropriate Universe matching his though development. Time doesn’t exist in that paradigm either, although mind-experience does.

https://suno.com/song/be7bdcca-445b-4b5c-a7b6-fab53f78dcb9?sh=Mu6pX3CNRRgb2hvr

One tends to regard time as a linear sequence experienced objectively. The new theory paradigm is that time is created by quantum entanglement and the human mind perceives that in its one-after-another-way as time. The quantum entanglement of all mass in the Higgs field is one where massless two-dimensional particles pick up an emergent third dimension borrowed from the Higgs field.  A human mind observing that phenomena prefers to structure it as space-time ala Einstein and relativity.

N.A.S.A. made a video on that. Maybe there are fewer dimensions rather than higher dimensions below the apparent four dimensions of experience. Massless two-dimensional particles in a two dimensional framework that when entangled in some way double- the forumla 2 + 2 = 4 explains the theory. https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU?si=r2pkto_FrKBoxm20

Obvious questions arise if time does not exist except as an emergent characteristic generated in a human mind by collapsing wave-functions or switching to matching, appropriate Universes (Max Tegmark elaborated n that as a level four universe in ‘The Mathematical Universe’. One cannot time travel forward if time is not real. If time is not real can humans travel about the mass entanglement universe layer faster than light via the static pre-exist Universe (or becoming massless two-dimensional information themselves)? If space-time is only an emergent and not an ultimate fact in the Universe as people exist in level two rather than level one, can spatial locations be any more real than time?

https://www.zmescience.com/science/researchers-create-a-new-type-of-time-crystal-inside-a-diamond/

Socrates was the Gold Medal Winner in Ancient Philosophy (Christ is God)

Plato's realm of forms has similarities with the contemporary theory of time as an illusion since it is an emergent characteristic, locally, of quantum entanglement. A substrate, fundamental reality without time is thought to be actual. Human perceptions of the heterodox provide a time experience. This is comparable to Tegmark's level four Multiverse paradigm derived I suppose from Everett's many world hypothesis. Socrates is the crowd favorite for Gold; what other ancient philosopher seems so familiar? https://suno.com/.../1fbfcf61-ab8b-42da-9140-a2153daf0934...

Singularities Aren't All Created Equal

 Physical inferences and all other human thought apparently originate in the physical universe. There have been recent photos published by the Atacama Telescope, that went out of business in 2022 ,that show the early universe as it appeared 13 billion years ago. That is interesting for numerous reasons.

One I find interesting is that matter and anti matter canceled themselves out after those properties first appeared from a probable singularity. CP invariance let a very small percent of matter survive the renormalization That mass is primarily what appears in the photos, raising the point that it should be possible to calculate from the observable Universe then how much matter and anti-matter was in the singularity.

Singularities are not all equal in size and gravitational power. Time occurs differently in singularity if it exists at all. That is good because time only started with the release of matter/antimatter from the singularity with hyperinflation. In reverse though, the fields that were unified early on before expansion needed yet to have gravity to keep the singularity together, and the gravity particles existing below the plank length (if at all) at a certain minimal size of contraction turned off when the Universe became smaller than gravity field mesh. If the Universe as a singularity at that point became smaller than the gravitational field that contained it, it might have escaped like water through a fish net.

Maybe an area like this is a region were physics and metaphysical questions coincide, for there are more vectors to consider than may be addressed with arbitrary constraints on fields of inquiry. Time would follow the shape of fields unified and configured within a singularity and differentiated as it changed with no necessity for a direction of time that was uniform unless the physical shape of the singularity upon parole was uniform.

Black holes and singularities are consequences rather than appearing from nowhere. Existing mass need contract into a singularity before it may escape. The conundrum of what came first; the chicken or the egg, appears to fit singularities too.

Reality as a Continuum

Reality may appear as a continuum, or something that continues temporally even though time may be an illusion created by membranes or some other field phenomenon moving past. Time may be more relativistic than one thinks; it may be so relativistic that, unified with space, it hasn't an independent existence.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4geldjjge0o

The continuum may exist solely in the physical as one might logically expect since people are just a tiny part of a large structure and cannot see the end of it in any direction. Humanity are large clumps of quanta themselves embedded in the Higgs field and given a third dimension instead of being massless two-dimensional quanta that could become part of a sentient being if time were ever to be and become.  https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

One Shouldn't Get All Misty About Below the Plank Length Alternative Realities

The Plank length is nothing more than a unit of measure. Plank wrote... “it is possible to set up units for length, mass, time and temperature, which are independent of special bodies or substances, necessarily retaining their meaning for all times and for all civilizations, including extraterrestrial and non-human ones, which can be called "natural units of measure".”

Physicists have commented that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle and additional factors make it impossible with quantum mechanics to determine below Plank’s unit of measure the location of a particle. That is meaningful in case gravity has an origin below that length. There is nothing about extra-dimensions or extra-universes hidden below the plank length, if any, that are known.

https://suno.com/song/fef281f9-7897-4638-b619-0c223890763d?sh=NFlfhaY4sHnYdzdY

A wikipedia quote; “The term Planck scale refers to quantities of space, time, energy and other units that are similar in magnitude to corresponding Planck units. This region may be characterized by particle energies of around 1019 GeV or 109 J, time intervals of around 5×10−44 s and lengths of around 10−35 m (approximately the energy-equivalent of the Planck mass, the Planck time and the Planck length, respectively).”

I wrote a science fiction novel that is free to download concerning God’s relationship to a hypothetical Multiverse theologically. Inaccessible realms and noumena for-itself are accessible to science fiction writers.

Gemeni Avoided the Math of Calculations for Relocating Planets

I  asked Gemini several questions about relocating Europa to a safe place closer to Earth and finally pairing it with Venus in a binary orbit. While not quite a nattering nabob of negativism, Gemini was pessimistic about the engineering to move planets because techniques to do so haven't yet been invented and published. 

https://suno.com/song/50d96a2f-e641-4b3f-99f7-d7d11d2e2996?sh=ku7xalI9zsAPqMDv

There should be a little how to book with dozens of techniques. It seemed it didn't want to do the math. Maybe the free version eschews calculations of  that sort; something to be aware of. It did write this however...

"The idea of having Europa and Venus orbit each other is a fascinating thought experiment, but it presents significant challenges and considerations:

Potential Advantages (Theoretical):

Combined Resources:

Venus has a dense atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide, while Europa has abundant water ice. Combining these resources could potentially create a more habitable environment.

Radiation Shielding:

Venus's thick atmosphere could provide some shielding against radiation, which is a major concern for Europa.

Orbital Stability (Potentially):

If the two bodies were carefully placed in a stable binary orbit, it could theoretically provide long-term stability.

Significant Challenges:

Orbital Mechanics:

Establishing and maintaining a stable binary orbit between two bodies of such different sizes and characteristics would be incredibly complex.

The gravitational interactions between the two bodies, as well as the Sun and other planets, would need to be precisely calculated and managed.

Temperature Differences:

Venus has an extremely hot surface temperature, while Europa is very cold. Reconciling these temperature extremes would be a massive engineering challenge.

Atmospheric Differences:

Venus's dense, toxic atmosphere is vastly different from Europa's near-vacuum. Creating a habitable atmosphere would require extensive modification.

Relocation Energy:

Moving both Venus and Europa to a suitable location and establishing a stable binary orbit would require astronomical amounts of energy.

Tidal Forces:

The tidal forces exerted by each body on the other would have to be calculated, and accounted for. These forces could cause extreme geological activity.

Planetary Protection:

If Europa has life, contaminating it with earth life, or venusian materials, would be a huge concern.

Feasibility:

Currently, this concept is far beyond our technological capabilities.

It would require breakthroughs in gravitational engineering, propulsion, and terraforming.

The energy requirements alone would be staggering.

In conclusion:

Therefore, while it is a fun concept to consider, it is not within the realm of possible engineering for the foreseeable future.

While the idea of Europa and Venus orbiting each other is intriguing, it presents immense challenges.

The orbital mechanics, temperature differences, and atmospheric disparities would be extremely difficult to overcome."

Mind is Under-Appreciated

 Robert Laughlin, a winner of a Nobel in physics published a book named 'A Different Universe; Reinventing Physic from the Bottom Up". He described consciousness as an emergent property from the field it exists in as a fundamental phase change. The inference is that the Newtonian sort of causal relationships and the ability to predict the determined future based on the present positions of all known elements of the construction that is the Universe, if that were possible, would not apply to the human mind. Mind is a different than material phenomenon. People underrate and under appreciate how marvelous it is and the way that it differs from thoughtless mass. https://suno.com/.../67d4b343-b219-41f5-8c72-1fa6be8c20be

Considering Time and Space

Time in effect, doesn't exist. Mass and space exist, and of course many doubt that nothingness, aka empty space does. One must measure the change of a physical system with physical tools, and one may construct physical-even atomic clocks. Nothing in a physical system exists apart from the system to measure the rate of change of the system with. Local rates of change are observable to sentient beings. 

Massless particles don’t experience time because they haven’t mass. That may be a condition that exists because articles like photons are expressions at a point of waves of an electro-magnetic field. Massless particles pick up a third dimension in the Higgs field. Maybe that is a recombinant effect of two-dimension massless particles receiving the donation of a third dimensions via the Higgs field’s dimensional status. (I don’t know). One could compare it to massless flies entering the Higgs field soup transformed into croutons. One might wonder how many dimensions the Higgs field has in-itself. 

What is regarded as time is a human awareness of material change. Mass changes for and location and that is what is observed by humans. When mass changes at a regular rate and order the observation of that is considered to be time. People tend to think of time as independent and occurring for-itself regardless of mass, yet it isn’t. As the observer changes the position of his own mass. Perhaps being accellerated to a substantial percent of the speed of nearly massless photons his experience and basis of time is different than that of a stationary compatriot from his initial starting position. The experience of the passage of time is relative to speed and acceleration, in other words, to the status of mass.

If the entire Universe or mass is where time is embedded phenomenally, it is plain enough that the experience of the status, speed and configuration mass locally has its own relative time and configuration. It is comparable to the three-body problem of three spheres in space. If there were just two spheres in space and one was moving away it wouldn’t actually be possible to determine which one was moving away. With a third sphere, and with two stationary one might decide that one is moving away from the other two. The point of view is relative. With an infinity or whatever of particles of mass complicating the relationship of time calculations in existence the ‘time’ of mass still is found in the mass itself and nowhere else. One has the additional problem of anti-matter and its own time configurations and relativity for-itself and for-mass.  https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU?si=YSEQxbITz_WsKAMc

It's Everett's many worlds paradigm created as an alternative to collapse of the wave-function. For each thought anyone has they switch to an appropriate Universe without awareness of the switch. There are an infinite number of Universes that already exist without time.. It is if they are static in the mind of God.  It hasn't anything to do with the Plank length which is a measurement designed by Max Plank. It is possible that time doesn't exist except as a kind of secondary appearance.  Last week some physicists released information about time being a by-product of quantum entanglement locally. If that is so the implication is that the entanglement occurs below the Plank length. Incidentally the God of Abraham would be fine with an infinite Multiverse. In fact it's almost a necessity since God is omnipotent and omniscient.An attribute of omnipotence  is that He has all possible infinity and possibility. Actually Universes might be just one thought of His mind, or nature. There may be countless other things that are noumenal for human knowledge.

Ethics' Foundation Needn't Be Inferred from the Higgs Field

Hume's is/ought problem of an inability to translate descriptive into prescriptive statements wasn't terribly interesting to me when first I read it some decades ago. The thought experience/reality-for-itself gap is meaningful obviously, yet there is a pragmatic reality-social reality and common experience of objective reality that enables practical communication and generation of ethical structures. One probably would discover wonderful ethical systems if one could directly apprehend in thought for cogitation quarks, bosons or other fermions and even the Higgs Field itself. Instead people construct their own ideal ethical systems or is/ought solutions within the world of common interpretation of nature and social reality.

https://suno.com/.../da8d4cd0-5355-4029-85f2-ce629a2af9ed...

I wouldn’t claim that Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill solved the Is/Ought problem with the invention of utilitarianism, yet it did move the context for inducting ethical systems and Is/Ought solutions from natural law to one of social reality. I believe people make categorical errors in requiring validation of ethical and epistemological systems constructions by reduction of either/or to a common, most fundamental grounding of epistemology and metaphysics in one substance.

One assumes there is a kind of duality between mind/experience and nature. Nature at the quantum and cosmological levels are rather enigmatic in several regards and human knowledge of them contingent and subjective. That’s O.K. though; not even Christians basing their faith in God and Divine command theory require that their ethics be based in something like Cicero’s Natural Law or in being one with the Higgs Field content in which people have an opinion they swim in. Like communications and language ethics and constructions of all sorts evolving from descriptions to prescriptions the paradigm or criterion of circumstance is the world humanity lives on. What works in practices may differ from abstract understanding of quantum phenomena and epistemology.

Trump-Zelensky Cease-Fire Deal is a Way to Extend the War

 President Trump seems as if he is moving closer toward the Von Biden point of view of the Ukraine conflict. That is he has made a cease-fire proposal entirely advantageous to Ukraine. It would give Ukraine 30 days to receive new military equipment and cash from the U.S.A. and stop Russia from continuing its advance to recover lost land lost in Ukraine in the Clinton carpet-bagging regimen.

In order to stop the war firm border lines need to be drawn, sanctions ended and a demilitarization of Ukraine need evolve. With those conditions established and agreed upon by the principle parties a cease-fire could be applied and the peace treaty actualized.

Common sense was President Trump’s approach to global economics in regard to Ukraine. Unless the peace treaty is produced within a few months further harm to the global trading position of the United States may occur.  The U.S.A. is already number two in world trade exports; its share may drop further minimizing markets abroad while China's exports increase favorably. Germany signed new agreements with China and several European nations have signed new agreements with several South American nations. Meanwhile U.S. leadership is discovering new ways to make an enemy of Russian and serve as Europe's militaire attardé.

https://suno.com/song/da8d4cd0-5355-4029-85f2-ce629a2af9ed?sh=lXYpjuUBJCOqXxEH

President Putin may have his own ideas about what conditions need exist for a peace treaty. A cease-fire without a peace treaty is a way for the losing party in a boxing match to get out of a round where he is taking a beating to recover and strategize for the next round. In other words it can be a tool for protracting a war.

https://www.politico.eu/article/us-ukraine-russia-saudi-cease-fire-talks-after-talks-in-jeddah/

Perhaps President Trump has a plan B that he will give to the Russians after they reject the cease-fire agreement. Sometimes it is challenging to discern what is political perfidy and what is part of a negotiating tactic. Observers like to get to the real content sooner rather than later.

Determinism, Teleology and Cosmology

 Plainly one may present numerous paradigms for deterministic systems without teleology. There is no necessary relation between a deterministic system and purpose of the system (or is there). Do some believe that a deterministic system must necessarily have a purpose and that from a Creator of the system? It is possible to imagine a computer program as an entirely deterministic system itself that generates deterministic algorithmic programs as sets that have no purpose, obviously.

Given a finite set of construction components there may be a necessity of a determined number of configurations of a system with an initial set. Someone mentioned constructing a square with just three lines. With three lines one may build a triangle in a certain configuration that when viewed seems like it is a square, without being one. With the alphabet one can’t construct hieroglyphs or build an automobile with raspberry jello.

Deterministic systems may certainly exist. The question people with antipathetic positions toward faith might have that they cannot exist is absurd. The effort is to deny that the entire Universe is pre-determined, and that it freely evolves without constraints or limits in it’s course of evolution. It does appear that at least parts of it’s fate is predetermined. Stars have a limited life span of several billion years more or less, the entire initial endowment of mass that is apparently finite will reduce with entropy to either a cold dead condition near absolute zero or be recollected with gravity to a singularity. In either case the temperature might have a phase change to absolute high temperature.

There may be an argument that a predetermined fate of the Universe is not known by humans yet that doesn’t make it so. The fate of the entire Universe is already set; nothing people or other sentient beings living in it can change that.

Of course some might regard the Higgs field entanglement of two-dimensional massless particles given the appearance of three dimensions occurring in space-time as indicative of an unlimited source of Universes and other structures that happen rather like a dream generated by a bubble maker, and those could be regarded as non-determined. Yet of course once they are brought into being they became determined with a set future. The phrase ‘the die is cast’ encapsulates the notion.

Free will may coexist within determinism. Life is a complex phenomenon physically and there is a vast degree of uncertainty regarding physics. It does seem plain that deterministic elements exist and that degrees of freedom exist while the entire Universe phenomenon may itself be determined since its foundation. One doesn’t have answers to the questions about the structure of the Universe or Multiverse that are exhaustive. Christians at least have faith in a Creator.

https://www.udio.com/songs/mTdMFKeB7j9DF8sgdGcdtr

If a program is written to generate whole numbers it is determined to produce while numbers; that is it will not generate the collected works of Shakespeare with annotations, loaves of bread or reasons not to elect Pamela Harris.

It seems wrong to use Norbert Weiner’s work as a strong advocate for necessary nondeterminism. A Google search asking if N.W. supported indeterminism generated this response; “While not definitively stating a belief in or against strict determinism, Norbert Wiener's ideas in cybernetics suggest a view that emphasized predictability within systems, leaning towards a deterministic framework for understanding complex systems like human brains and cultures, rather than strict, unfettered freedom”.

I appreciate the gulf in communication between word and object. The idea that ideas may not be expressed with deterministic exactitude since words are descriptions of observations an dare- approximate descriptions of experience. It is the purpose of words  that concern, and one is venturing into linguistic and analytic philosophical claiming that all knowledge is non-deterministic and physics is non-sense as well. It is a metaphysical inference to extrapolate from human epistemology to the nature and constructions of what humans experience. Utilizing analytic philosophy for the purpose of arguing pro or con determinism is at best a fraction of the right parameters required for inducting some sort of an accurate response to the challenges of the inquiry. Human epistemological uncertainty doesn't mean the Universe itself is nondeterministic. Perhaps one can say that humans may know that they know nothing after jettisoning pragmatism.  ‘What is wisdom to man is foolishness to God.’

Incompleteness theorems don’t equate to non-determinism for the given (Universe for-itself). Humans are elements of pluralism in a monism that IS.

That is the nature of the experience of what is regarded as an entangled field of two-dimensional massless particles that pick up a virtual third dimension in the field. It is the world people exist in though, so that contingent experience is assigned as being real. One need only be poor, freezing or starving, very sick etc to know that one need treat the world as reality.

Reductionism of Materialism Yields Uncertainty

 A problem with materialism is that it tends to dissolve into uncertainty considered with physics reductionism. Dualism compounds the uncertainty. M/Q=U. Materialism divided by quanta equals uncertainty.

Reductionism of materialism yields uncertainty at the smallest and largest levels. It probably will always be so. Yet one can mold and fabricate with the given of physicalism from mud bricks to quantum computers and that, ultimately is what materialists love. Philosophically though materialism or physicalism is a reference parameter for words rather than a final destination. Without the Spirit in-dwelling a life resurrection unto life will not occur and the worldly mind that hates God does prevail, and that leads to death. A field tied locally in knots of clove hitches or strings rippling with uncertainty that may be the will of God; that will always be a delimiter of uncertainty running into Godel's limits. Yet the quest for learning is always admired. 

In Reply to A Few Good Ad Hominems

Someone criticized me for writing that I don’t expect political leadership to appear that supports a competent, realistic plan for a complete national change to ecological economic; I said the political leaders aren’t intelligent enough.  The following is just my reply.

High percent of falsehood in your post. I didn’t mention Musk incidentally yet he has no ecological economic remake plan or intent although electric cars are nice. That sort of plan need be public and fact checked prior to an election. He hasn’t done anything like that and isn’t likely to. Vested interest of Wal Street oppose changing the way things are.

About b.s. being overwhelming; it is what it is. Having listened to the irrelevant ideas that won’t change the political economy to ecological economics sustainability and knowing how the election cycle works I won’t expect to see a single competent candidate or party platform the next 12 years. Being 70 years old I rationally don’t expect to see the revolutionary change required in my lifetime. You say that makes me a loser. Oh well, everyone may be a loser if James Lovelock’s ‘The Final Warning’ actualizes. With so many people ordinarily being so rude that reduces the prospects for necessary change and adaptation. A will to work cooperatively to bring about radical change and economic upgrade transforming from unsustainable economics to a new and different foundation is de rigeur if that magnitude of political action is to occur.

I like the falsehood that I have hidden in education with a cushy job for years. I wish that were so. It is really enjoyable fiction of great quality!

Biden more competent than Trump; not at all in the past four years. Even in his 1980 presidential campaign he was plagiarizing speeches.

over the entire global system—economic, political, and military.

Even if you don’t expect to be around to see it, do you think there’s any way for regular people to shape where this is all headed? Or is it just going to play out according to the interests of the powerful?”

The Democrat party hasn’t intelligent leadership so the default is for Republican politicians fronting for the plutonomy to determine the political course for the USA

Metaphysical Non-Sense

 I will try to provide an answer without gnostic non-sense yet with sufficient non-sense to qualify as a proto-metaphysical kernal. Metaphysics is something someone does in a gravity protected shelter somewhere near the event horizon of a black hole to contemplate if one is a holographic representation of a higher dimensional universe if they would still be entangled in a real Higgs Field or just one they imagine exists on the basis of inferences of noumena.
