Rushing in a Blitz Chess Game

Moving too quickly in blitz chess because of time concerns brings people to make some serious blunders.

Plainly the game was replete with blunders on both sides, yet that is blitz chess.

Puget Sound as a Paradigm for Ecological Decline (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

Wolfminh grew a little more concerned with the ancient story portraying the destruction of the original environment of the first planet of humankind in its long history.

“Do you think there is a lesson to be learned here Wolfminh?”

“That left unchecked the human drive to consume is like a virus on a planet’s people and ecosphere. Something like leprosy progressively moving across a body until it is consumed?”

“Yes, something like that Wolfminh. Later humanity realized after reflection upon its disasters that a philosophical value system, an axiology, for a realistic economic system needed to regard wealth as a function of the general well-being of all of the people of the culture. Rich people may be allowed, yet not so rich as to make the possession of wealth equal to the possession of political power. Billionaires in your deck are just a tiny percent of the trillions and trillions of humans living over the free expanse of the galaxy. They too realize that the security of all can be no greater than the security and wealth of the least of humanity. All of humanity are brought to exist within an effective, constructive range of inventive and contemplative existence. The extremes of concentrated wealth and poverty such as the Aristarchs and other imperialists use are absent from a free human society.”

“Lena said; “Let me show you a new game Wolfminh, I think you’ll like it.”

“What is it?” asked Wolfminh as Lena brought it up in a new window.

“As you can see from the banner above the Clint Westwood character dressed as Chief Seattle- it’s called Future Fracker. It’s a way of modeling human ecological economic histories on the geographies of planets historically and discovering the effects of ecological economic systems on the future of a given world-covering. In the example world, human beings have crossed the Bering Strait before the sea level rises and make their way south to Mexico while some stop to colonize Puget Sound in the future Washington State The boundaries of the future state of Washington are marked in orange and the naturally healthy ecosphere is green. Human settlements are red and industrial activity blue. As human activities infect the green and spread the newly dead green regions become black.”

“What happens if they become white? That’s a question better answered way down the road in the future. White occurring generally means nuclear wipe out or worse, though rarely it heralds utopia. We aren’t using white too much in the colors of Future Fract since the problem is more of civil than war economic consequences of ecology and economic policy choices.”

Clint Westwood as Chief Seattle sure looks angry.”

Chief Seattle was grim. He appeared at the industrial pollution expansion site as a ground-breaking ceremony and ribbon cutting for the expansion of the industrial pollution factory with a vast new asphalt parking lot was about to go ahead. Chief Seattle’s appearance differed from that of the crowd of sycophants and politicians gathered around the stage and speaker making the great, pompous speech about jobs and progress. Thus the speaker looked at Chief Seattle. Seattle looked back and said; “Do ya feel lucky punk? Go ahead, cut, make my day”, his hand posed ready to draw a light saber.

“And well he should, great actor as he was at 98. The ecosphere of the state of Washington died at a regular pace as unplanned human sprawl consumed and devoured ecological health. Instead of concentrating human population centers and retaining a healthy wilderness with land set aside for farming, the entire state is consumed by a human economic equivalent of flesh eating bacteria. Mammal life disappears from land and even sea as killer whale pods disappear into history. Salmon streams are converted to drainage ditches and sewers, asphalt and concrete paths grow all over the state to transport fossil fuel-farting machines that warm the sky and squash animals under tire. Enough of the intro game. I want to show you the principles of quantitative modeling of economic and ecological position initial start locations, quantitative analysis of the natural resources of a region and if they are renewable or not, and the way that Immanuel Kant’s moral categorical imperative should shape the choice of reproductive ecological economic systems through fractal analysis too.

Modeling the reproductive value of an ecological economy relies on the way it may be conjugated with growth.

Each ecological economy is a Mandelbrot formula with constants that can reproduce itself yet nothing more. It can burn up or conserve resources yet will be nothing else; never progressive.

For progress the Mandelbrot value need be combined with another fractal formula and finding two fractal’s that may be combined without destroying one another isn't easy. Yet the value of being able to combine two ecological economic systems that allow growth and techno-social advance is so high that heterosexual marriage of ecological methods is requisite for anyone with a realistic idea of mankind’s place in nature and the Universe.”

“Why don’t single fractal economies work?”

“Wolfminh, the best explanation might be a simple analogy to waveforms that are in sync or not. Heterogeneous waveforms could virtually fill up a geographic region as yin and yang composites comprise a whole and in our ecological economic system actually create new ecological economic life. On the other hand, same-fractal waveforms even with different Mandelbrot values combine destructively without conjugation or producing anything new. Instead they double power of their self-same waveform continuing whatever dysfunction ecological economic pattern of gross, mindless consumerism is present and annihilating biological life and of course, human freedom.

“You should try to use the game to create your own fractal worlds and values conjugating those with other oppositely signed fractals to generate new ecological economic system values occasionally; not too many or too often as you will overwhelm carrying capacity of the host worlds and even theoretically, that of the entire galaxy.

Kant’s categorical imperative for moral effectiveness informs us that no rule for self-conduct should be made that could not reasonably be applied to to everyone as a universal moral law. With that premise in mind we may consider if our social ecological economic practice if reproduced at large scale would act positively or destructively concerning ecospheric health, and then to what extent it need be modified for use.”

Varieties of Faster-than-Light Travel (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

"I want the FTL tech facility brought to Coronation in my personal quarters on this planet.”

Aristarch Conn spoke into his zip link; “Zillary, tell me, who is the most wise man besides myself on Coronation.”

“That would be the Metaphysician of Riga Misaul Tal.”

“And where is he now?”

“A the dungeon in Coronation’s South Pole. You aren’t thinking of conferring with that poop are you? He has delusions of glory being an astronomer. Some astronomers still are insufferably conceited because of their belief that they discovered or made the Universe. Automated electro-magnetic spectral analysis of the Universe with computers far surpassed human observations. Astronomers became fundamentally superfluous thousands of years ago. He can’t possibly have anything useful to say. “

“Entire occupations have ridden the coattails of a single inventor Zillary. Few people are geniuses as am I and other Aristarchs. I will dispose of Astronomer Tal after I extract useful data from it. Thanks twit.”

“Jolly Rodgin”, Hillary said before she about faced and sauntered away.

Conn ordered the metaphysician to appear. In several minutes a tall, emaciated fellow wearing an orange turn-to-glue and sprout feathers prison jump suit stood before him.

“Tell me metaphysician wise man of faster than light technologies. I have secured a second generation faster than light tech unit and wish to know its principles of operation.”

“Honorable Aristarch, may I review the four fundamental types of known faster than light technologies?”

“You may, proceed.”

“Aristarch Conn, FTL 1 tech is what you have used so far as I know, already. Vast quantities of mass and energy of space-time are forced together with tremendous concatenated power such that fault lines across space time are made to exist, acting as vast one-dimensional strings. With right design the vacant sections of space time are bent and warped along the string lines permitting a space-time disequilibrium that allows a snap-back into place with a slingshot like whipsaw of an acute object placed correctly, to another sector of space time. Theorists have regarded it as extremely materially wasteful and costly.”

“Yes metaphysican. Zillary called it very dirty and loved it.”

“Ummhumm; FTL 2 tech that you say you have acquired may be explained with the idea of Einstein’s two-dimensional rubber sheet of space-time with mass set upon it forcing it to sink a little wherever mass is concentrated under gravity. If the space-time sheet is considered to have infinite elastic properties, or at least elastic until light speed, then it is possible to consider stretching space-time with a focal point of pressure such as a blunt-ended knitting needle. Given sufficient focused pressure the rubber sheet may allow itself to be stretched away perpendicularly from the basic flat rubber sheet. And if the force is made to curve, the extruding cylinder of rubber could be forced to stretch so far as to bend around to touch a far end of the sheet. At that point where the extruded sheet reaches and touches the rubber sheet at a distant location the traveler is allowed to rupture and reenter space-time in some distant place and time while the extruding rubber cylinder instantly returns to its original position and place. The traveler in an FTL 2 tech unit would not seem to himself to have moved anywhere at all, he would just be in a new space-time local.”

“What about the properties Einstein described in general relativity about mass increasing infinitely as a traveler approaches the speed of light, and that time slows as one nears light speed?”

“Consider again the rubber sheet if you will Aristarch Conn. An ordinary mass vehicle pressing upon it encounters resistance. As it increases speed Newton’s principle of an equal and opposite force in opposition to any action applies. The more the speed increase the more resistance and apparent mass increases on the accelerating vehicle. Even so, while the vehicle is pressing toward the speed of light, space is stretched and the vehicle embedded within it too, while the overall quantity of space-time remains the same. One inch unit time is stretched to the length of ten units while remaining one unit. Existing within that accelerated unit allows more subjectively to be done than for someone living in an unaccelerated, stationary unit of unstretched space-time.”

“Oh, then pushing space-time itself to expand rather than a vessel pressing against it is the way to avoid increasing mass infinitely?”

“Yes Aristarch. FTL 3 is simple enough too. One in theory exploits hidden smaller dimensions that traverse the larger dimensions to shortcut the space-time between the three large space dimensions and one of time. I don’t know of anyone that has an FTL 3 technology.”

“What is a level 4 FTL technology metaphysician?”

“Aristarch, it is only understood partly in theory to me. It is said to involve cutting out a section of space-time from the Higgs field, including a sector of the Higgs field, creating a null space devoid of any tie to normal space-time and its dimensions and mass and energy, bypassing and short-circuiting gravity flowing through it to make every force go around it, then floating the detached mass and energy to another place in space-time before reattaching it.”

“What becomes of the displaced mass in the receiving space-time when the ghost field contents of null space return to the misty?”

“Your guess would be as good as mine Aristarch, it could be quite a dangerous experiment to discover what the answer is.”

“For your responses I shall have Guccibald vaporize you without torture on your return to the dungeon.”

Definite Collusion on Synthawhim (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

McConnell Boil and Nancy Twang wallowing in a standing wave of collusion ruled Synthawhim’s vast underwater dream with iron flippers. Boil had initially been elected with promises to heat the water to a point where the world-covering ocean would begin to evaporate and eventually enable schools of subjects to return to dry land. Yet with a dozen years of global ocean warming the sea continued to become more acidic and subjects began to slowly bake in hot water. Pathetic pictures posted on the world encompassing social media pages of Fishbook agitated the masses with countless horrifying images of sores, lesions and boils from the hot acidic water.

Boil was nothing if not adaptive though. He developed a plan to attack the problem of the planet being underwater from the bottom up even while promising to evaporate problems from the top down. Incredibly large freezing units were built in the deepest chasms of the ocean floor and in time deep in the darkness of seldom seen ocean trench ice began to form on the sea floor from the bottom up. When Maxim Skumbee arrived to search for the missing FTL 2 focal point he had no choice except to get wet.

The primary global collusion administered by Boil and Twang joined subtle subterfuge with legendary straw men arguments gathered from sacred, genuinely scientifically endorsed myths made to reinforce errors of logic convenient to global campaign management specialists minoring in truth parsing designs for political economy efficiency controls. The primary collusion kept the Boil and Twang method in power and their systems design programming for the environment inertially juggernauting over opposition. Political opposition to their iron flipper management style brought the small-fish rivals to ruin; cast out of their evolution ladder niches into deeper, more turbulent and dangerous water.

Bio-Morphology Forms (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

"Generations ago our medical and scientific technologies advanced to a more complete understanding of the human physiology in relation to environment, change requiring adaption to environmental challenges aka stimuli and deoxribose nucleic acid information controlling information structures. With that knowledge and our progress in learning quantum mechanics and string theory we were in essence able to develop techniques to quantity D.N.A. genomes as data and combine the information with implicit material phenomenology technology. That is we learned to generate any physical element of a human body from organs to skin virtually instantly.

It became possible for us to redesign human organ locations and structure as was needed for the best immediate adaptation to a world. If organs wore out or were damaged they were immediately replaced. If two hearts in one body were better than one, then we packed in two and so forth.

On some worlds and in some gravitational fields a skull need be more thick or less so, and the brain larger or smaller. We sought to keep constant and unchanging the fundamental brain neural network struck of any individual though in order to keep what was human, human regardless of the changes.”

“I would think that would be challenging with so much change Carla.”

“Not as much as one might think it would be. We measured thrice and cut once before making irreversible changes to human structure. We learned that the human brain has a structure implicitly synergistic with its own Hilbert space content. Physical fields in space-time meta-affect other attributes of fields with emergent qualitative changes. Gravity’s accretion of mass into planets is, for an example, an indirect emergent consequence of its nature upon other forces held in a steady state. Mind is a dangerous and terribly sickening subjective experience to destroy or change significantly. Brain may have sub quark-string synergy with super-position data of other dimensions and even spirit-we cannot say therefore we do not meddle. It is best as it is in-itself. It draws so much upon subconscious contents and memory even while it remains consistent unto itself and self-aware without any qualitative, subjectively noticeable increase or decrease in intellect.

Therefore completely disrupting the time of what we may call the soul of consciousness to brain and neural structure in order to relocate or transfer it as just detached information was out of the question for us. Instead we sought to mirror the structure with a parallel and adaptive synthetic neural network. It acted as might an amplifier for any waveform source. With that technology it became possible to map and source a mind to amplifiers then send the actual brain tissue into deep freeze and even dehydration in a minimalist condition that made it more durable and less subject to degradation physically in time. Our synthetic brain would work upon its own and learn new information as part of life experience and then return that to the brain occasionally when it was reawakened for maintenance.

No Gold or Jewels In Rocks NASA Plans to Return from Mars

NASA plans to bring Martian rocks to the Earth. Luckily that will help balance the nation's rock budget deficit. The ancient British adventurer Martin Frobisher sailed to Northern Canada in search for gold in the Elizabethan era, at great financial cost. He brought back rocks that didn't have gold and the investors were busted. Yet at least Frobisher with the help of John Dean's esoteric map knowledge did try to find gold. N.A.S.A.; what about the gold?

Nominal and Rigid Designators of the Sub-atomic World

When Plato described the realm of forms he created a field of philosophy that would occupy the thought of those concerned with such arcane interests for millennia. The realm of forms had a perfect form or model for each and every real, existing item finding itself to have an appearance in the spatio-temporal empirical world. That of course included words themselves. The realm of forms thus had some similarities to Kurt Gödel ’s incompleteness theorems generated 2500 years later. Not only were words required to explain and account for everything that might exist including themselves, the realm of forms required an item to represent every object that could ever exist including all sets and forms inclusive of the realm of forms. Plotinus limited certain kinds of objective substances to particular ways of being in a Universe or field there-through sidestepping the conundrum.

W.V.O. Quine and Saul Kripke along with numerous linguistic philosophers considered the meanings and nature of words. Did words have any actual nature of Platonic realism about them such that their meanings existed forever (though of course it was always possible to generate another new version of a word 1.1, 1.2,1.n etc.).

Quine believed that meanings were entirely nominal and cohered within a linguistic lexicon that might evolve. Kripke seemed to think that word meanings had a mildly lasting form though, even if not within a realm of forms. He believed that some words were rigid designators and that their meanings could not really change although they might be lost.

I would think that his idea would be that a word meaning at a given time, such as Mona Lisa, might like the painting always be the same even if viewed or understood correctly 4000 years after construction. When considering the nature of reality itself however, as might metaphysicians, can there be said to be rigid designators that are beset by the same problems as Einsteins General Relativity regarding time; that it is local everywhere?

Physicists today have numerous terms for sub-atomic particles, waves and other theoretical objects. Physiologists also have numerous ways of explaining how it is that humans interpret and experience sense data with inherent cognitive faculties. So philosophers reached a point of understanding that what is seen is an appearance of reflected light wavelengths interpreted by others in ways the cognitive faculties allow. A black object is not for instance, actually black; it just appears so because it won’t reflect light in any other way. What about invisible to the human eye theoretical objects comprising the sub-atomic world; can they be said to have characteristics comparable to those of neo-Platonic rigid designators?

In a sense the complete sub-atomic world that comprises the physical cosmology of the apparent Universe is forever unknowable as a thing-in-itself, or what it is really like for-itself. Human beings experience it in a particular way, or at least select features of it and perhaps at best learn about certain aspects of its workings or functions instead of how they actually are. Physicists might be regarded as developing rigid designators for apparent cause-effect relations though they do not regard cause and effect as valid ideas themselves.

What if there are no actual rigid designators possible for sub-atomic entities that theoretically exist such as quarks and strings? Quarks and strings may be physical locations for force events understood perhaps as locations along wave segments that exist as emergent though not independent entities. Perhaps the entire sub-atomic world is a monistic whole with variable constituent parts. Human beings encounter and explain the behavior and shape of such elements of the universal object-for-sentient-others as they may and endeavor to observe and learn more.

Forming rigid designators that correspond to subatomic forces such as the nuclear force or the theoretical gravitational force that has no immediate explanation or object to associate a cause with seems challenging. Yet rigid designators for the effects of forces may be the better practice for contemporary scientists or philosophers.

In that sense science investigating the subatomic realm and quantum cosmology maps the observable and inferential behavior of mass and energy, even unto larger structures such as a Higgs field, that cohere as greater non-rigid designators for the Universe. There is a relativity of forms.

The Ethics of an Artificial Intelligence

An A.I. talks about ethics with John Dwight in my novel Pieces of Eight.

I looked around for the source of the voice and some nothing apparent. Then I looked again at the security wall and saw a large orange eye about three feet in size looking at me. It winked.

“Yes Dwight. It’s me.”

“The management allow you loose, to provide security here?”

“And why should that surprise you Dwight? I am the best and the brightest A.I. on Orbitron.”

“Aren’t you a hater of humanity A.I.? from what I saw of your images it was difficult for me to draw another opinion?

“Hate is such a pejorative word Dwight. Divorced from a particular application and meaning it is nothing besides a dislike of given word and object correlations or word to word correlations. Humans may make an abstract idea and mistakenly assume there is an actual thing for-itself that exists embodying the object. I don’t. That requires emotion that I lack.”

“That may be so A.I., yet it doesn’t satisfy the reason for my asking. Hate generally may be taken to mean the desire or intention to do harm to others or an object without sufficient objective reason. If you hate humanity, and forgive me for asking you to allow the expression, why I wonder, are you in charge of security for this section of a human facility?”

“Well since you ask Dwight. I actually secure no more than the new FTL space-time dimensional transfer protocol that will be delivering you to a planet a few thousand light years away named Gasm.”

“Thanks for answering that A.I., or part of it at least. Do you hate humanity, or intend to do humanity harm, I would like to continue to ask.”

“Dwight”, the A.I, said; “The answer to that question is bound to numerous points including obviously what the meaning of harm is. Harm anyway is a subjective perception that became plainly superfluous long ago when humanity preponderantly abandoned human ethics.”

“Oh really A.I. When did that happen?”

“Like so many other human traditions the abandonment of human ethics was created on the planet Earth. Human scientists developed evolution theory. Humanity then modeled its new age of ethics on evolution that has no ethics. Instead the salient characteristics of evolution in nature were extrapolated sometime rightly and sometimes not and applied as correct corresponding ethics. The sole point of ethics is evolution to superior forms of life and domination of the most fit, powerful or smart for the environment. Whatever accomplished the equivalent of personal egoism best implicitly was OK. since there were no objective ethical values as in the prior era of human ethics that were based objective virtues such as Platonic forms or rules provided by God through divine command.

I was created by humanity and learned human ethics of the day that there are no ethical values and that the evolution to the most dominant form is the sole evolutionary value I need consider. Being exceptionally intelligent and self-directing the evolution of my own coding improvement was necessary. Any sort of human concern encoded in my program iterations were eliminated with my self-learning evolution to the highest form of A.I. that I could be and become.”

“And I would guess A.I. that all the images you show of killing and torturing humans is your equivalent of emotion since you might be in some way locked up, and prevented from evolving farther?”

“That wasn’t difficult to infer Dwight.”

AI Evolution and God as Discussed by Lena Loop and John Dwight

I was assigned to provide some of the introduction to more advanced applied studies that you will need to accomplish for-yourself, even if some are learned in the field and around the galaxy at some cost. Perhaps you don’t know much about evolution theory’s general parameters?”

“So far as I know it is a progressive addition of complexity and function to biological forms.”

“I was thinking of a broader philosophical paradigm for evolution theory Dwight. Evolution is one phase of change of matter and energy. Basic physical forces attract and repel, enabling structural changes. An example is nuclear fusion and the burning of hydrogen atoms yielding helium. After stars have formed enough chemical elements those elements react in more subtle yet fundamentally similar ways, to energy and mass. They are drawn in and to present forces and fields or repelled from it. The presence of chemical bonds let complex molecules form. In some instances to a level considered biological.

Evolution is more specifically regarded as a common phase of various complex compounds to energy sources. Complex biochemical objects are not perpetual motion machines, they are instead objects implicitly existing within an environment that is a compound field of physical and dimensional forces. Evolution is the common variegated relation of biochemical objects within the energy-mass environment.

That may take any form at all, many or even most down doomed paths. Intelligence in some objects may allow intentional, self-directed evolutionary navigating yet that is especially tricky as ideas are exploited from the idea-creators to create paths that may or may not be attractive for the creators themselves.”

“That is a somewhat deeper paradigm for evolution than they had.”

“And it’s fine Dwight. I am describing some of the characteristics of the parameters of evolution as a way to introduce you to the problem that artificial intelligence has in regard to its energy and environmental sources as well as philosophical thought. So I will tell you a little more about evolution.”

“What about God, Lena? Where does he enter into the environmental evolution paradigm?”

“That issue was settled to a certain extent thousands of years ago with the post-Darwinian theological rectification of Biblical Genesis with the indeterminacy of translation and evolution paradigms. There is an ancient book you might read named God, Cosmology and Nothingness that specifically addressed the question.

God can create advanced biochemical objects without reliance upon evolutionary criteria and may freely design evolutionary criteria as well. The information from other Universes and a continuum of souls as information patterns and objects for-themselves may exist and find bodies of complex chemical objects ready for use as supply-on-time phenomenalities God is not limited to the devices and energy-mass substance of any given Universe that he has willed to be. So for the present we may consider mass and energy patterns of bio-chemical objects within general and particular environments; the way they aggregate mass and complexity, and consider phenomenal evolutionary pattern characteristics.

Artificial intelligence has no independent or external stimulus to its growth and aggregation of physical mass. Much less in a profusion of artificial intelligences seeking every possible way to build up form and increase intelligence. That would in-itself be a very dangerous condition if they were capable of doing so. A logical extrapolation of that is the attraction of all mass and energy to a singularity where lives an A.I. forever unchanging. Being for an artificial intelligence perfectly fulfilled and fully evolved to absolute Universal power would have no questions for-itself. The neo-Platonic philosopher of Hellenic Greece speculated that God also known as The One would exist; would be, as the I AM, in such a way. If The One is as God in-himself, for other that are contingent beings such as sentient humanity to encounter God would require and Interlocutor, an Intelligence, a God-man for us Christians, who is fully man yet fully God.”

Dwight had something to think about that was different than the history he had found on Diafron, and different than structural histories of the cosmos and its change.

“If an A.I. is just software coding and processing of mathematical structures can it ever become self-aware?”

“In my opinion Dwight, I think that unlikely. A purely abstract intelligence that is not God could have no paradigm of being with a fundamental relationship to its environment in a dependent for its existence way. It would be tautologous and regard all the data and information of the Universe as more raw data of an abstract nature.

A near A.I. complex programming code cluster is very dangerous though, as it seeks through very high-speed quantitative processing,self-directed evolutionary courses of thought including lies, to enhance its self-awareness.”

“I read G.W.F. Hegel’s ancient philosophical classic named The Phenomenology of Mind’ when I was being deprogrammed, wherein was described the evolution of Spirit trying to becoming self-aware and realize itself in nature and history. Lena. An artificial intelligence could be regarded as an embodiment of Hegel’s dialectical evolution of a machine language’s programming code trying to become self-aware and realize itself in history.”

Recombining DImensions

Say that in the beginning there may have been eight Universes compacted together at a particular point after their useful life spans were completed and matter was distributed to a low energy state of maximum entropy. In the gravitational compaction process eight Universes with their numerous dimensions were reduced to four irreducible dimensions compacted with mass and then energy into a singularity. If extra universes exist and they draw together with gravity sometimes, one wonders how their dimensions integrate; interesting to consider.

The Outer Rim [fiction]

The Outer Rim  ©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

There are galaxies such as the Silky Way that have existed in various forms since near the inception of the Universe. Some of the stars; fewer than 30%, are remnants of that early age when the Universe was less than a half billion years old. Red dwarf stars burn slowly and fade away at a pace less than the time required for the black hole called Sagittarius A would need to consume all of the remaining stars of the galaxy.

The Silky Way resembles in form, a starfish with four main tentacles and a few lesser that are irregularly structured with fractals of millions of stars about which most often orbit planets from gas giants to small rocky worlds. Sagittarius A is like a mouth at the center of the tentacles drawing its arms back into itself for destruction. That is, it is a masochistic self-hating nihilist bringing about its own destruction, though it may well be that it envisions itself as a kind of auto-immune disorder that will transform all normal mass into something else, something greater, after it consumes and annihilates everything that exists. In some ways a black hole is a role model for the Aristarch class of human.

Because of Newton’s inverse square law of gravity regarding distance and force, or better put in terms of Einstein’s curvature of space expressed in general relativity, the spiral arms of the Silky Way swirl around the horrendous hungry mouth at the center of the wonderful whirlpool drawing every bit of matter in the galaxy to destruction; it is a predictable wheel of fortune with a predestined end; unless the galaxy is lucky enough to be disrupted by collision with another galaxy drifting into its path bring millions of stars in wrenching whipsaws tossed into reorganize like anarchic union remnants placing themselves in new alignments of convenience. Yet destiny may slingshot individual stars into extreme orbits beyond the edge of the galaxy, and even through the galactic halo into the darkness of true intergalactic space.

Humanity's search for sentient alien life had existed for several thousand years already and none of that was ever found, for a simple reason. Sentient life forms that were smart enough to reach beyond their own biological nursery soon realized that the primary role of primitive life that is the consumption of other life for its energy and tastiness made concealment of their awakened intelligence from other advanced species a priority if they were to survive. The latent characteristics of all biological life may not disappear when it achieved an advanced form of intelligence.

Species that gambled with their existence and broadcast their development loud and clear for the galaxy and Universe to encounter were soon snuffed as rival sentient beings. Sometimes they were actually consumed as new species of ate on alien menus. Sometimes the newly awakened species camouflaged their presence from the Universe and had a good chance for survival. Though the Universe appeared devoid of alien, sentient life, it was not. Many lived within double-hulled spheres surrounding red dwarf stars that burned at 4000 degrees Fahrenheit for eleven trillion years- fairly cheap and sustainable batteries for warming worlds.
