A Finite Quantity Minus Infinity (poem)

{finite A + Infinity}-{infinity}={finite A}

infinity + the empty set{}=infinity + {infinite set of potential finite sets}

infinity + {a finite set} + {-infinity} or - {infinity}={a finite set}

Thus it was that a magpie rested upon a chain link fence with a view of the waters of the inlet of which it took no notice. The planet Earth journeying through the low energy vacuum with space-time.

An appearance of finite sets extracted from infinity with subsets of temporal actualization.

infinity + {finite set A...Z) + temporal(-infinity)={finite set A...Z}

infinity + subset of an infinite series (inclusive of an empty set)=infinity + {redundant subset}

Finite subsets are temporal
magpies look for food in snow
rejoice with spring melt
trivia of leaves, dirt and insects.

The Way Government Budget-Debt Ceiling Negotiations Seem Today

This may be the biggest economic issue of the year. The Congress seems to be bungling the job, yet that is natural.

The Republicans picked the fight using the deficit ceiling vote as an excuse to punch around the Democrats once more. With one branch of the legislature they expect to dictate to the Democrats on the budget knowing they have a stronger will. They are at economic war with the Democrats rather than a cooperative party seeking the good of the people. They do not know where the United States is though. Their center of effort is in Beijing these days.

Republicans have experienced a weak Democratic opposition party for 20 years. Just last December the President through in the towel on letting the Bush era tax cuts expire and danced a jig for Wall Street. Even Chelsea Clinton took a job with one of those quant/hedge fund firms in 2007 or 2008-maybe the President is looking ahead for job security for his kids on Wall Street.

The Democratic Party is encountering a Republican Party House leadership that expects it to roll over some time before high noon the day of default. Sen. Majority leaders Reed is seeming more obliging every day now offering a timid, obliging kinds of plan that just cut spending and doesn't raise taxes-he seems to have no concept of negotiating tactics.

Majority Leader Reed keeps offering sweeter packages to Republicans expecting them to finally buy a package eventually. Republican know that the Democrats will keep moving toward their side and cut everything that goes to the people rather than to corporations from the budget so far as possible. What would have worked was setting a final offer last week for the Republicans to take or let the budget default crash occur.
That plan should have raised taxes on the rich and cut spending with an immediate surplus not requiring the debt ceiling to be raised. The surplus should pay down the federal debt right away.

The trouble is the democrats have developed a political philosophy-a Darwinian founded deep zeitgeist that promotes irrationalism. The Republicans have developed their own irrational economic philosophy to match the democrats and raise them one to the quant approach to Wall Street profit taking. That's a Darwinian based disembodied capitalism making the irrational profit taking of market computing analytical programs capitalism in-itself. The real world, quaint, nationalistic, Adam Smith Wealth of Nations is dead in that paradigm. Nothing is real except the abstract mathematical and statistical world of market phenomenal modeling and gaming profits in the new Wall Street; Americans are just detritus, artifacts or externalities to The Truth of the profit formulae.

Statistical Meaninglessness of the Real World in the Uncertainty/Statistical Duality Cloud of Quantum Macro-Economic Computing

Statistical Meaninglessness of the Real World in the Uncertainty/Statistical Duality Cloud of Quantum Macro-Economic Computing
Reading recently about quantum uncertainty, global economic and U.S. federal deficit concerns as well as the history of the 2008 Wall Street failures I felt like writing a short fiction story to express my ideas yet didn’t have the time. I have written non-fiction thoughts on the topic.

Following are a few books on the market/banking investment fiasco, cultural change, physics, the history of Wall Street or of select quantum and/or cosmological issues; ‘The Quants’- Paul Patterson, ‘The Age of Greed’-Jeff Madrick, ’Just Six Numbers’-Martin Rees, ‘The Constants of Nature’/’The Infinite Book’/’The Book of Nothing’-John D. Barrow, ‘Freefall’-Joseph Stiglitz, ’Age of Fracture’-Daniel Rogers and ‘Dance of the Photons’-Anton Zeilinger.

Presently I think that the traditional capitalism as free enterprise works by real individuals to better their personal prospects has been replaced by a disembodied capitalism manipulating corporations as abstract, marketable commodities. That ascension of an abstract mathematical modeling capital profit taking end-for-itself is fundamentally irrational in relation to the establishment of home, business and environmental interests of individuals as ends-for-themselves.

The means to an end of profit of the disembodied, abstract model manipulating capitalism, depersonalized and reduced to abstract statistical quantities the less heavily capitalized real interests of the citizenry of the United States through the portal of the common market, law of price and monetarism. Though the ancestry of modern disembodied o.b.e. computational capitalism is in theoretical economist past of Adam Smith, Hayek and Von Mises contemplating what real capital is, as well as the games theorist Thorp, its maturation in Wall Street quants was a corrupting hybrid of mathematical theoretical advances and greed outgrowing rational business borders destroying the green pastures of democratic free enterprise capitalism like a mass environmental cancerous flesh-eating bacteria annihilating the prosperity of the majority of the nation.

The storming violence of quantum cultural changes may be regarded as quantifiable volatility affecting the market of ideas and information generating capital quants of value.

Statistical aggregation of value quants of money-the crash of the dollar quant versus the Euro quant and Yuan quant, arbitrage of material manufacture outsourcing to China from the U.S.A., the flow of cheap labor quants to the U.S.A. to reduce unofficial cost of labor quants, these knots of quant crucibles for quant clumping or catastrophe windfall quant scintillation may be the Truth for quant computing by the informal emergent collective of a disembodied capitalism managing the global economy regarded as an abstract entity with random values and a source of potential profit taking through harvest of the disequilibria.

In the post-Darwinian era of material meaninglessness and through an evolution of moral and epistemological relativism the new age of Shannon entropy and information theory has emerged to transform information into data or quanta rather than meaning. The meaning of communications and of all material phenomenalities is taken to be its quantifiable, statistical relation to other statistical represented associations of ‘meaning’ in quantum groupings.

The U.S. Government has experienced a shift in budget management toward the Wall Street disembodied side of new age capitalism. Its federal debt is an imaginary number within a given math paradigm represented by quantification within a globally quantified abstract statistical matrix of volatility and potential profit knots and every location or coordinate of the global g.p.s. financial flowchart.

Various statistical collective mangers of the abstract economy and its Bell chart foundation of analysis convert the real business, manufacturing, environmental and social things-in-themselves into statistical facts secondary to the mathematical realm of trans-finite potential profits. Abstract equilibria might be developed to balance the statistical representation on the Big Board in a way that will assure most efficient concentration of wealth.

The Chinese Communist party may be able to enter into the hedge fund, arbitrage and derivatives investment field for itself and transform itself as a quantified subject-objective statistic with the present global elites to comprise a unified elite global statistical management. The meaninglessness of global economic management quanta will transcend the world-for-itself. If nations, people and ecospheric vitality perishes cloud computer storage will probably keep aggregate statistics and gloriously send the data in binary coded laser and microwave beam to the Universe so alien life form statisticians can hear it on their newscasts someday far, far away (information only travelling at the speed of light).
Still, there may be dissenters that believe the black body radiation nature of thermodynamics in aggregate clumps of mass is fundamentally at odds with the Shannon entropy distribution of data forced into a Bell Curve of random distribution that quants exploit to represent reality and human economic interests.

Though Thorpian foundations of Wall Street quantum investing have the solid assurance of winning blackjack card counting to guide the disembodied capitalism in an abstract statistical cloud beyond capitalism in its primitive material form of common sense factoring to improve the way of life of citizens of nations-to bring about the wealth of nations, the uncertainty of the quantum realm of nature varies significantly from the actual aggregation of steady state mass that is the Earth as it is converted through quantum investing and economic strategy into a high entropy state of randomly actualized economic statistical mass. For one thing, Shannon Information theory is weak at differentiating in quantum terms between mass as a quantum statistic and ideas and relationships as quantum statistics. Representational quant units of one base such as binary conditions computing require a nearly infinite number of sets and subsets of binary representation to differentiate the quality state of one thing as a real object from another-or from an idea. The level of detail problem in creating artificial, statistically accurate scenarios is at issue-it is a problem of an opposite nature to the Brownian uncertainty or statistical jitters of individual quantum units. In accurate abstract descriptions of individual quantum units an infinite number of relations are required. The problem prevailing in quantum mechanics and quantum uncertainty is also a problem for writing statistical accuracy into quantum system representations…there are a true infinite number of relationships between each individual quanta.

The quantity of energy required to represent the relations of the real universe’ quanta in space-time evolutions probably is greater than the energy of the universe in its solid state. The possibly infinite range of primordial quantum uncertainty giving rise to any given inflation of a universe is unlikely to provide an opportunity for a steady-state universe statistical formulaic computation of its energy state as anything quantifiable. After all, an infinity minus one still equals infinity. While an infinite quantum energy potential minus itself might equal nothing-it isn’t necessarily so-it could be finite and something as a remainder. One gets something or nothing in the likeliest avenues of approach and neither result potentially provides a measurement or quantifiable description of primordial quantum energy.

Nature-a name for the real Universe given without human alteration-has its own solutions to the challenges of creating real solid state mass as particular energized objects from amidst the infinite real of potential actualizable quanta. The abstract mathematical gaming statistical analyses of the new disembodied capitalism take the opposite approach and convert real business and environments, national boundaries, human lives, biodiversity and health into statistical quanta expressing the potential for existing as real profit quanta for market information manipulators.

Lizard Logic Chronicles of Extremism in Seperation of Church and State and Without

The Oslo massacre seems to be a primal vengeance on a government ruling class and its next generation. Did the killer have a single issue dispute that could not be settled through election, was he interpolating a dead reckoning symbolic action unto the global media? The reasons or lack of them for what appears to be a well planned killing spree leaving scores dead in the sweet days of high summer where four minutes of daylight are being lost each day presently is a mystery. I am certain that was not a Christian act in an increasingly unchristian, lizard-logic driven new world order.

Since the evolution of modern science and democratic governments the political liberalization of church and state from control by political elites has roughly approximated the development of individual civil rights.
Jesus Christ was the first and true liberator of mankind from pure social power. We do not know what his opinion was on the creation of the world ex nihilo as the Gnostic Theophilus promulgated. What is known is that Jesus Christ the Son of God is pro-life and not an advocate of nihilism with bullets or without.

As European civilization developed in the Christian era citizens asserted their conditional sovereignty from unequal political and legal oppression. The empirical foundations of individual equal rights coincided with the anti-hierarchical trend of the protestant reformation in Europe. Religious conflicts were not separable in causation from political and social structures of old and new regimes. As liberalism from imperialism followed contemporarily along lines of religious reform away from hierarchical priesthoods, scientific ideas of evolution and cosmology were also free to express ideas out of phase with combined church and state authority.
Confusion of issues on secular political and social grounds implicitly founded in religious and government authority (e.g. Emperor Constantine and the Byzantine Church, the Tsar and The Russian Orthodox Church, Catholicism/Hapsburg rulers and the Papacy, Lutheranism and the Hapsburg Empire etc.) made a myriad of government, feudal, imperial and local self-government social conflicts arise. The demand for sectarian right to believe what they chose was opposed by state authority as sedulous organization. The Inquisition drove out Jews as well as Protestants from Iberia.

Fundamentalists interpreting the Bible on Biblical authority increased after the invention of the printing press and Erasmus’ translations of the Bible into the vernacular were not the only available to non-readers of Greek, Hebrew or Latin.

Previously state control of religious appointments to Church leadership (the Church of England has the Queen as its leader today) needed to conserve its power through repression of thought on religious topics that might be politically as well as philosophically revolutionary standing in allegiance to God instead of supreme and Harriest potters of political power.

Christian theological and philosophical organization and the pursuit of truth was an organizing social and political phenomena across formerly pagan Europe for more than a millennia. Christian theologians and monastics were often the scientists themselves. Scientists of more recent times sometimes lacking theistic sentiment if not outright atheist have developed a narrative history that religious thought was a fundamental opponent to scientific progress. That opinion is a generalization extracting a pure theoretical premise and placing it into an abstract formula of explanation. It is an erroneous opinion. Human social history and development is far more complex causally than that.

Concerns about an atheistic political philosophy based on uniformed ideas about the meaning of science and its opinions on evolution and cosmology arise in order to defend several historically important concept developed during the era mentioned above. Some popular opinion has it that without God a secular social experience is phenomenal and meaningless-hence morality is meaningless as well as human ideas. Some scientists have said that D.N.A. is all that matters—such ideas are ignorant and specialized in the wrong field opinions about the value of social sciences, theology and philosophy by scientific, tool-using pagans.

I will write a little about the godless social order for itself. It has no need of rationality. Rationality is a human thought construct regarding values, and since the source of the values is just human opinion experienced subjectively and phenomenally it has no meaning. Scientific principles of social organization would replace socially derived political values that were brought into being at great cost.

The pagan scientific irrational new world order is fundamental fascism without even a rational end. It regards human life as motivated meat. There is no need for thought about human rights or civil rights-they are phenomenal historical accretions of no intrinsic value.

One does not need to offer a synthetic Hegelianism as a defense for the objective value of human social and political constructions moving toward a perfection of social existence. It is adequate to say that the political and social experimental developments of human history that have brought into existence better social relations and individual actualization opportunity for free expression, free enterprise and self-determination are a science or knowledge accumulation for themselves as different from the undeveloped state of human social experience as mind is from body, or as is sentience from non-sentience.

Human political and social intelligence needs to avoid the pitfall of an atheistic and ignorant fundamentalist cult of science-a scientific sect that is a subset of science for itself, that would force human society toward conformity in control of amoral fascism founded in a belief in nothing.

The scientific atheism of economic elites may corrupt nationalism and its boundary paradigm rights criteria for citizens and citizen sovereignty in order to advance the concentration of wealth. Atheist inspired immoralist may attack and destroy all social structures, traditions, security and property resisting the will of power of the prime atheist power. Citizens may experience the deleterious subtlety of the Stalinist left as well as the Hitlerian right subverting their democracy and free enterprise interests. The world environment does require its political saviors in order to be able to continue to support human life on Earth and ecological biodiversity and that should be accomplished through voluntary democratic self-government. There is no way out of the pitfall of atheist totalitarianism creeping to a new world order once it has extinguished the last hopes of human freedom and political pluralism.

There may be times of troubles ahead as world leaders betray democracy, individual rights and popularization of ecospheric restoration. They may create propaganda such as Christian fundamentalist terrorists to balance out Moslem fundamentalist terrorists as the market expands into the Moslem world.

There is no element of violence in the Gospel of The Lord. The epistles of Paul, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the book of the Acts, Peter, James, John, Jude, and the book of Hebrews have no advocacy of violence or acts of violence by Jesus Christ or his followers at all save the cutting off of an ear when the Lord was arrested and taken for trial and crucifixion. Jesus repaired the ear on the spot.

Sure the Revelation is a prophecy with a world historical vision of the future described replete with violence and an avenging power of God returning to the world to trample out the grapes of wrath in a manner of speaking and save the elect. This is something like a social and religious cosmological prediction rather than a book of Christian ethics. It does not advocate that Christians perpetrate violence anyplace. A fairly well known Christian point is that vengeance must be left unto God to take. If possible one should even forgive one’s offenders.

When the recent bombing and shootings in Oslo Norway occurred the BBC reported several times on the perp’s possible ‘Christian fundamentalist connections’. England has a policy of advocacy for homosexuality recently. It has a policy of global economic financial skimming.

It seems to be the best advocate of godless global economics today probably as an inertial continuity of its one former world empire and failure to keep church going Christianity alive. Darwin as a Brit has made the British tend to become faithless geckonic apostles of atheism. That position is an irrational political-philosophical evolution by the unreflective and unconscionable toward a scientifically derived atheism. That consumerist atheistic hedonistic world order dominated by advantaged lizard-phenomenal social beings without any particular objective political world order will not lead to a stable and objective world economy with liberty and justice for all.

European and world political dissidents may use violence to get rid of Kings (Norway has one), dispute taxation and oppose a variety of secular political policies. It is wrong to believe that only Christians or Moslems with some sort of religious belief in a transcendent moral foundation would are enough to blow up an abortion laboratory or pass legislation against cloning or making supermen through next generation steroids and super-Brussels sprouts for brain development.

The scientific atheists might regard human life as equivalent to pigs with the same objectivity as cannibals. It is keeping national and civil rights and government at a peer-reviewed level, and keeping the world ecosphere healthy and moving toward recovery through a respect for human life and spirit that a world worth living in for a few more centuries at least might be brought about.

Science is a good thing for-itself. I enjoy reading popular cosmology books with the wealth of scientific and mathematical speculations to accompany mathematical modeling. Knowledge was never supposed to be in opposition to human life or human spirituality.

There isn’t anything in the Bible that I know of that compels an either/or on scientific or cosmological data. Uninformed or wrong epistemological assumptions of science and or religion and vice versa might drive one to make illogical inferences about world views. In the infinite time of all possible universes that might emerge from a substratum of quantum uncertainty there is theoretically time enough for God to allow an infinite number of universes to develop.

God would have enough patience to wait for human experience to actualize in one of those Universes if He created this Universe in a paradigm like that. The origin of the realm of quantum uncertainty is a kind of quantum fog itself through which science isn’t logically potentially capable of getting beyond to a deeper understanding of how anything comes to exist in any possible universe. Scientists should learn to respect human social history, philosophy and spiritual concerns enough to withhold crashing into them as exert nihilists with abysmal ignorance of things other-than-science. For one thing, the ape-niche broadcast media repeats the irrational and unethical dogma ad nauseum influencing humanity to run roughshod toward the lemming leap of ecospheric and demographic oblivion in the effort to concentrate wealth for globalist powers.

The separation of Church and State today should act as a preventer on takeover of church liberty by the state. Yet with the invasive omnipresence of the broadcast media today amongst other instantaneous concentrated ownership powers free speech and expression of independent opinion is subject to the forceful erosion of concentrated political power. With the takeover of morality setting by the U.S. Government and the Obama administration in making homosexuality o.k. in the Military the government has laid the foundation for a future of state-church controversy on free speech by the church that regards sin including homosexuality as wrong social conduct. The fundamentally atheist broadcast media will chip away at American Christians in the long run as well it appears, and at U.S. nationalism in economic policy making because their interests are global.

Openly Homosexual U.S. Military On 60 Day Countdown/Bomb Blasts Oslo Norway

"It does not do to leave a dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."-J.R.R. Tolkien

The summer bombing season of picturesque northern tourist cities seems to have begun with Norway's government center taking at least seven fatalities with many others injured in Oslo's government district. A gunman also shot some bullets at a youth camp outside Oslo in what seems to be a related incident.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14252515

President Obama's coming out plan for the Pentagon was given expedited scheduling and it now is at day 59 and counting down before full implementation of openly homosexual military service. Some Americans did not realize that the term 'gay' does not include lesbians. Yet the female branch of military service will evidently be open for lesbian officers now. One hopes that those gay warriors do not become grim warriors in the wars ahead...(if peace and a prosperous, balanced ecologically renewable national economy with full employment cannot be brought into being by a competent congress {only joking about a competent congress-no vhance of that}).

Zero-Point Energy and 'The Book of Nothing'

The vacuum of space is actually a lively place in quantum cosmology. Within the scientific paradigm of quantum uncertainty something like an infinite ocean of quantum particles in all possible configurations exists-so long as they are not observed. I guess that is something like a polarizing filter from which only some particle-waves emerge to appear in solid state configurations.

The mass and energy of the Universe are comparable to an overnight coating of ice on the surface of a lake that breaks up during the stress of the day's sun and winds and gathers into larger ice islands with open water in between.

Galaxies gathered in gravity from an earlier high temperature, unified scalar field expansion yield a cascade of individuated fundamental particles, drift out in the expanding space-time ocean with the lambda's force's slow build of subtle quantum agitation.

That quantum mechanical filter of uncertainty seems like a good way for God to create a Universe without making it possible for anyone to directly trace its causality. One must rely on the sentient word of God rather than just simple cosmological archaeology for data about the first cause preceding temporal causes and causality issuing Universes from the sea of quantum indeterminacy.

Even the acceleration of the Universe may be a phase of the vacuum's movement toward a lowest energy state. Below that lowest energy minimum is the uncertainty realm of vacuum energy and lambda stress.

These are a few more notes from J.D. Barrow's 'The Book of Nothing' before I finish reading it. Not being a physicist it’s helpful to make a few notes as a mnemonic device for future recall of its content.

Published in 2000 'The Book of Nothing' still seems an excellent primer on nothingness, vacuum energy, chaotic inflationary universes and the way quantum mechanical structures inflate to order the mass and energy of the universe.

Even so the epiphenomenal appearance of anything from a hypothetical realm of quantum uncertainty issuing everything else is an interesting place to leave off the study of transformation of negative and positive virtual energy through a balanced cycle of being and nothingness-when nothing else might be known about what's what except perhaps philosophically, theologically or mystical insight.

It is good that refinements of the physical investigation of how the Universes and universes are strung together theoretically may consider and compare the minimum vacuum energy state of existential model universes and/or inflationary regions with the mass and energy content of the Universe human beings live in. The vacuum of space-time itself is apparently a charged region that moves from a high energy original condition toward it minimum energy condition. Expanding space-time may be the essential way it spends that energy increasing its size to achieve the lowest, and balanced energy state. It may oscillate at the low end of the cycle like a metaphorically pendulum before settling down to the minima. At that minimum it is uncertain what would occur although theories abound-for the vacuum energy resting upon uncertainty and the space-time minimum energy regime of the universe was just one inflated continuum from the more basic realm of uncertainty that lets universes arise.

New World Order Oligarchs Hold U.S. Economy Hostage To Prevent Tax Increase

In the New World economy House Republicans seem to want to cut taxes on Corporations so they can invest in China. With cinched profits investing in Chinese business, Wall Street can just phase out the interests of U.S. workers and the middle class. Democratic safety nets can be gutted, on the job training in new factories requiring corporate investment avoided and the environment of America sold for pulp and ore profits of foreign governments.

As in the ante-bellum economy a large cheap workforce overseas lets America’s corporate oligarchs enrich themselves as a class. Of course the exploitation process isn’t so efficient today as in 1850; the Chinese are taking the majority of the profit. The oligarchs share the wealth of Chinese power and share the exploitation with the majority of Americans.

Since Wall Street Republicans have converted the U.S. economy into a slum(p) they have allowed unemployment to rise nearly to 10% in the U.S.A. They dumped a load of national debt in the Bush II years and perfected policies to plunder the U.S. regulation of economic honesty in addition to cutting taxes to a going out of business in the U.S.A. level with visions of sugar plums in their oligarchic, greedy minds. When the U.S. economy becomes really second rate then the military allegiance will be directed toward reinforcing the new economic center of effort in China and India; Kentucky’s Ft. Knox may have Red Guards at the gate to protect its assets.
