Pres Trump Gets Phase 1 of Containing the Ukraine Conflict Signed

President Trump has accomplished getting Ukraine and Russia to agree to terms that reduce the scale of the war somewhat. It is called a partial cease fire. That is comparable to a partial silence; an oxymoron yet meaningful in comparison to a reduction of noise level from a higher level.

Ukraine and Russia agree to keep their ships in neutral corners east and west of the Black Sea although Russia will have access to the Mediterranean via the middle and southern parts of that body of water through Turkey. Russia needs merchant ship access to the world to trade food commodities since the U.S.A. is lifting several sanctions on Russian agriculture and food related trade. Ukraine agreed not to use ships to bring weapons to Odessa and the south shore of Ukraine.

Each side won't attack energy facilities for thirty days, although since Russia began its cease fire on Ukraine energy sites a few days earlier the 30 days for each art occur on a slightly different schedule/

This is all good news. Maybe hungry Africans will get some food relief and American farmers may have better export markets indirectly lowering the cost of bread in the U.S.A. if farmers won't under-plant worried about poor export markets for surplus grain (a theory of mine).

Drones Will Help Extirpate Endangered Species

A globe with ten billion people (two billion rural residents weren't counted reportedly) saturated with silent small drones useful to poachers for hunting endangered yet valuable species will accelerate the demise of wild animals. Poachers will exploit the cost effectiveness of drones as sentinels to protect pouching operations from game wardens. Even night vision capable drones will be used to find hidden human law enforcement agents lurking in the bush. I would guess human traffickers are upgrading their scouting missions to locate border security personnel in the field as well.

Virtue Signaling the Attack on Houthi Mob

 SecDef Hegseth spilled the beans on Signal providing timing of his well-designed retaliatory attack on Yemen. Like Babe Ruth pointing out where he was going to hit the ball out of the park the Secretary of Defense described for his party conference on Signal the timing and location of the impending successful American strike to degrade the capacity of Houthi terrorists to attack free shipping in the approach to the Suez canal/Red Sea, Israel and other locations with missiles and drones. Yemen launched a hypersonic missile to attack Israel June 19, 2024 and a day or two ago.  https://trt.global/world/article/3edeb1dfef9c

Such advanced weapons were supplied manufactured by the Houthis themselves, perhaps with support from Iran. A website says the Palestine-2 missile travels at Mach 16 speed. That seems a bit fast. Mach 6 is more probable.    https://armyrecognition.com/military-products/army/missiles/hypersonic-missiles/palestine-2-hypersonic-missile

Any use of social media tools for secure defense purposes is a bad idea unless one wants to leak information. Even Starlink if it chose to do so might be able to monitor Ukraine’s military communications on its system and provide that content to the Russian military if Ukraine continued to be non-compliant with following President Trump’s peace initiative criterion. Using signal and including an Atlantic reporter on the list of people sharing the data was surreptitious bragging or an example of why not to trust the internet with defense secrets; even encrypted open-source sites like Signal. https://signal.org/

Time in Everett-Tegmark's Level Four Multiverse is an Illusion

 Contemporary theory is that time may not exist and is simply a contingent effect of quantum entanglement 'locally'. With relativity as a continuing operating premise, it is just physical change that occurs without time being an item apart in-itself. If time is an emergent phenomenon of quantum entanglement it may be possible to learn and duplicate various relevant quantum structures to relocate or reconstruct 'time'.

Current theories of time as an emergent characteristic created by quantum entanglement interacting for a temporal order with a human mind suggest that the Universe may already be fully, temporally existent such that it has not time. Neither is there causality. Further; nothing is an accident. A recent N.A.S.A. video explains what is in effect the Everett many worlds criteria developed to Tegmark's level four Multiverse. The point is made at the end of the video.    https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

Locke and the Obligation to Revolt

The Declaration of Independence shares and follows by about 90 years Locke's premise about an obligation to revolt when government is corrupt and inimical to the public good. Locke wrote about that in 'Two Treatises on Government'. Failing to defend the borders though, only required electing some other leader. Violence should be the last choice rather than the first.

Locke wrote in the  Second Treatise on Government; 149 “Though in a Constituted Commonwealth, standing upon its own Basis, and acting according to its own Nature, that is, acting for the preservation of the Community, there can be but one Supream Power, which is the Legislative, to which all the rest are and must be subordinate, yet the Legislative being only a Fiduciary Power to act for certain ends, there remains still in the People a Supream Power to remove or alter the Legislative, when they find the Legislative act contrary to the trust reposed in them. For all Power given with trust for the attaining an end, being limited by that end, whenever that end is manifestly neglected, or opposed, the trust must necessarily be forfeited, and the Power devolve into the hands of those that gave it, who may place it anew where they shall think best for their safety and security. And thus the Community perpetually retains a Supream Power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any Body, even of their Legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked, as to lay and carry on designs against the Liberties and Properties of the Subject. For no Man, or Society of Men, having a Power to deliver up their Preservation, or consequently the means of it, to the Absolute Will and arbitrary Dominion of another; whenever any one shall go about to bring them into such a Slavish Condition, they will always have a right to preserve what they have not a Power to part with; and to rid themselves of those who invade this Fundamental, Sacred, and unalterable Law of Self-Preservation, for which they enter'd into Society. And thus the Community may be said in this respect to be always the Supream Power, but not as considered under any Form of Government, because this Power of the People can never take place till the Government be dissolved.”

Artificial General Intelligence and Quantum Entanglement

Plainly though, someone could program AGI to seek to bond, infuse ts own code into other programs and multiply itself without even thinking about that. It would be like a very smart virus.

It may that Tegmark’s level four Universe does exist and time is nothing more than an emergent effect of quantum entanglement with the mind switching about into appropriate Universes in its own world-line of experience. An AGI probably could not do that, unless humans first learned how they do that without being aware of it themselves. Why humans may have that ability is a mystery. https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

Logic is Universal

 Logic is a way of ordering ideas for analysis. Like grammars of different languages there are some common structures. If humans or other species have ideas that may be ordered in order for clarification they may be represented in formal systems. Formal logic isn’t a closed or exclusive system. They may be said to exist in model universes, for their are numerous varieties of formal logic system. Quine in a book named ‘Methods of Logic’ described the “fell swoop” method of constructing your own system of logic.

A sentient species have a way of interpreting the heteronomy of perception they are bound to experience. One may apply a method of logic to analyze the language or structure of ideas concerning intentional thought, as well as extensional thought concerning the heteronomy (although some species may have surpassed heteronomy to render all objective experience subjective so for them the Universe-mind experience is an autonomy, yet I am skeptical that any species in the Universe has achieved the ‘little god’ status and graduated to eternal boredom.

The logical system that a species uses, or rather systems, are constructions of the species. I think it likely that some logical systems would be discovered or invented by diverse and unrelated species, as some mathematics would be likely to be developed by species in the Andromeda Galaxy for instance. https://suno.com/…/376fb6f0-d4c0-4011-ab97-b194e982e9e5…
