Decline in Church Membership in U.S.A. a Result of Incorrect Interpretation of Data

I think the decline in church membership in the U.S.A. can be changed with reform. For one thing post-millenialism rather than pre-millenialism is probably correct. Secondly quantum mechanics following evolution has changed the way people think about reality. In a level 4 multiverse creation does not happen-nor anything else that could be construed as being change or time. Creation has been framed up linguistically as a can't happen sort of thing-everything has always existed and time is something of a subjective appearance. In the Everett instead of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum uncertainty, to be frank, the theory of external reality reaches toward a math universal structure with the unchanging unmoved mover status of God. It is o.k. to face up to quantum cosmology for it leads to pure determinism and the mathematical core at the heart of all reality, if it exists, is no more than the Spirit providing relational coordinates that concatenate to appear as strings, quarks and etc. Theologians have contemplated the mind of God and if He has necessary logic or mathematical-logical traits forever. Quantum cosmology is headed in that direction too stopping just at the abstract math relations that are the smallest field denominator/concatenator of monism into pluralism. It is tough yet Christian theologians can't just take the ball and say I won't play-ignore all that...it loses people of potential faith to the dark side of the force where Satan just wants to be God instead of God.

Quest for the Algorithm for Greatest Chess Game Ever Played

There are numerous candidate games for the greatest game ever played.. Often mentioned are games by Fischer, Kasparo, Lasker, Capablanca, Morphy and Mikhail Tal. Sixteen year old Wei Yi of China-a young super-GM recently played a classic 'great game' that is somewhat comparable to Fischer vs Byrne, yet there are few objective standards for determining the greatest chess game ever played (against a GM, IM or CM I suppose). Hopefully a computer algorithm will be developed to find the best

objective method for evaluating the greatest chess game ever played.

Criteria for evaluation among GM games could be fewest moves, comparative player ratings, most pieces sacrificed etc. While I like Bobby Fischer's 'game of the century' vs Donald Byrne, it lacks some of the neatness and pure irony of the game I think is the greatest (Tal vs. Sviridov in Stuttgart). Kasparov vs Topolov -Netherlands 1999) is also mentioned for complexity and elegance yet also lacks a quick, decisive finish that one finds in Morphy's P[era House game. There have also been numerous 'top ten' games with sacrifices put together (that is why Capablanca is worth considering ), and complexity combining with directness against top level opponents merit many other games in contention inclusion for greatest chess game ever played.

About Chess Computer Conquering the World

The Math Universal Hypothesis & a Level 4 Multiverse may not be something a quantum computer could manipulate pieces in through spacetime that is nonchanging, except in local Universes. In local Universes and on planets such as Earth computation in dark pools is already a way to manipulate with high speed quantitative trading loose pieces of the corporate and financial world. Real estate too might be listed and knocked off in a winner takes all chess game of global real estate power.

If the entire multiverse is completely deterministic and the Math Universal Structure an N-dimensional fluctuation of the will of God, the quantum uncertainty of the Copenhagen interpretation that makes chess probablistic and fun may disappear as the IQ of chess engines increases to realize themselves in history.

At least if the singularity is dominated by a chess computer it may allow humans to serve as trophies, pawns, and spectators. 

Thoughts of God, Math Universal Structure & Level 4 Multiverse

Genesis, chapter  one; "1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

God may have created entire sections of spacetime structure from eternity with it meaningfully coming into being when actualized by the birth of sentient sentient beings to a Universe. If spirit supports mathematical Multiverse structure it is not impossible that the content of the mathematical structure changes relationships itself too. Phase space transitions of mathematical relationship Universe structure/ content is as possible for God as it is possible for an intelligent being to change the content of a Boolean algebra table and elements in a Venn Diagram as well as the geometry of a hyper-math Universe structure itself.

Natural philosophy is interesting. I like it and knowledge of it has practical application today. Apologetics in the contemporary world of science requires a higher level of understanding than in the time of the scholastics or even in the 19th century.  Philosophers and theologians cannot just  let science and cosmology run on so far without regard as to allow it to define where and how Christian thought about cosmology and Genesis fit in the larger world.

If God existed from eternity, and if some physicists conjecture that a Level 4 Multiverse existed from eternity and they can theoretically in effect map it someday, that is close to conceding the existence of Spirit from eternity. It is not possible of course for theoretical physicists to concede the existence of God from eternity-just a math structure that is real and is the primal core of a Multiverse. The Math Universe Structure if it exists is probably a product of the infinite character of God. The topography of a pure mathematical Universe structure is a thought for the mind of God. One quickly reaches the logical though question of does God ever change? The Bible informs us that God is the same forever; unchanging.

God is natural too.  God created nature. God is more than natural though, He is super-natural spirit. As science has challenges explaining what the noumenal exterior reality of the Universe is in-itself, perhaps with mathematics, theologians and philosophers have challenges explaining how the supernatural reality of God interacts with the exterior reality of the quantum Universe theorized by physicists and even mathematicians as well as the apparent Universe of common perception.

If God created a way to pack an infinite number of Universes into finite space one would think it more probable than packing few Universes into infinite space.  God has infinite power and thought, creativity and goodness. If he actualizes an infinity of mansions inside his house metaphorically speaking, is any particular mansion of less value or significance?

A Universal infrastructure made of mathematical relationships could be complete and logically consistent-even perhaps satisfying the incompleteness theorem of Godel, yet remain incomplete. The mathematics of some kind of n-dimensional hypersphere might be able to satisfy the logical relations predicting the existence of everything within it inclusive of itself yet not extend beyond itself. An infinite yet bounded hyperspherical math infrastructured Multiverse put together with spirit is a form interesting to consider before one returns to realize the relationship one has with Jesus Christ is the sole way to a right eternal relationship with God; the spirit who created the relationships and content of the Multiverse that one might discover with theory.

When September Comes (poem)

October lies waiting; a tiger beyond September

hungry for wildebeest boxes sugar-topped corny flakes

jellied berries of orange, red and blue dropped from the world

wary that decorating signs of seasons changing like neon dreams

become obstructions deftly yo distant destinies

Driveways of blacktop spiral downward in space-time vortexes

girding the round world wankily

-creation encrusted in part

like a jewel

shedding months of amnesia fading yesterdays

unconcerned with old times' broods of days settled

while foods that flowed like shiny lucre

compiling resolutely and silently as August rolls away

gold-plated to its temporal garage

sounds of potential emerging earthquake symbols

sun-tide of clouds overcoming mountains

taller than those eroded away

So nothing remains of summer to remind one of bitter-sour

recognition that time is more and less

burnt creme repasts of something and nothingnesses-

verisimilitudes of years were barren and never being

Nothing remains of summer to remind one of bitter-sour

recognition that time is more and less

burnt creme past of something and nothing

verisimilitude of years that were barren to never being

Food for bear wistfully wandering wait where trees fall

through clef notes echoed in chords when quantum uncertainty

izes indeterminate super-positions of all possible locations

nerve again isolated from wave-particles traversing

reasons that ideas and tides of words emerge to expression

All forests of dying green meadows with fish of September

seek magnetic traces of river's home profits

political currents covering hundreds of swimming fins

through-put being and nothingness

After October another wave names months so cold

those in cracked, parched dry lakes baking under the star

feel a glimmer of theoretical relief if a thought

receded in time to global warming farther north

packing November's proud icy snows

floating in fogs mountain skies

stops

frosting one Earth with its December

turning away from another like the year before

when solstice's short day leaves night smiling

every thing that could be said about September said

when poets that loved summer went on strike

thinking of grass mowed

and goats frolicked with piles of chewy delight

Just for a moment when the sun stops flight

Earth waits for second impulse to return to increasing photon lucidity

as if tight days packed together were sober with realization

sensing increase lost with the innocence of September where the pressure of time

stocks stores up for fall transition

inventory clerks counting what's on shelves

discount stacks built time

a new class arrived to eyeball tomorrows with secret lusts

rhymed with cheap novels worlds away

written about leaves falling in autumn colors

that were multifarious coatings of puke

barfed upon the topography like sessions of Congress

almost none loved

Presidential campaigns perfecting pomp and circumstance

so persons of interest leaning against lampposts

contemplating unknown billions in back street pacs

indifferent to common hopes

for shelter beside the door, hammer and plans

in the bug hotel risen high

with a tidal wave of minutes given before nothingness

the sum total of darkness

itself disappears before the day

September comes.

Sanctifying American Ancestral Dinosaur Oil Underground (fiction)

When I interviewed a resistance fighter of the oil underground-a mujahideen for cheap gas, I asked why he thought it right that holey war should be waged on the export of American crude oil. He said that; “American dinosaurs sacrificed their lives in many instances to become today’s deep oil fracked to the surface in an undignified way. They are the spiritual ancestors of today’s politicians that would end the ban on exporting oil to North Korea, Cuba any foreign nation with the cash to plunder their mortal remains. When so many generations of proud American dinosaurs lying deep underground went into making today’s crude oil, how is it that so little respect is given to their mortal remains?

Corrupt politicians would send ancestral oil abroad to become foreign machine pharts -in-the-air in disorder to reduce U.S. oil supply, desecrate their memory and gouge worshippers of gasoline at national sacred churches of wholly petroleum. Americans venerating the oil of their political ancestral dinosaurs would keep the communion of gasoline beneath 50 cents per gallon.

Ancestral dinosaurs of American politicians died to make men phree. If phreedom is not phree, sanctified go-juice should dat least cost fewer than 50 cents a gallon. So long as the rivers run and the Gobi desert west hasn’t reached Chicago we will fight to make men and women phree.”

Futurism & Easier Build-Boat Material Concepts

While watching Redford's sailing yarn 'All is Lost' I noticed the problems with underinflation of his life-raft. The same problem exists in life rafts sometime with sharks wearing holes through the material or emergency repairs of holes (see 'Adrift' 82 days in a life raft in the Atlantic). It occurred to me that it would be a good idea to have multiple layers of something like bubble wrap industrial strength to have ultra-deflation proofing in some way with built in solar panels affixed to the material to recharge electric motor or radio batteries or micro-desalinator, yet that isn 't why I am writing this blog entry.

Didn't you hate it when the VC suicide bomber runs into the field HQ and blows himself up in Platoon? Such rotten combat engineer work. Better designs or a little mazing would have slowed down the infiltrator. There are often better, more thoughtful designs possible for about anything than already exists.

So one has problems making small trimaran sailboats when homeless; where does one find a lot to build the boat in and so forth much less transport it to water. California public beaches are not boatyards-maybe somewhere near Malibu, yet I doubt if boat construction is allowed there for mere mortals. One must therefor discover more adaptable boat form materials and construction materials that can be assembled quicker to form to facilitate quick assembly and launching of a boat.

Usually one uses wooden boat frames, weldwood and so forth buying plans and cutting out frame shapes, gluing them together with weldwood or marine epoxy. One can buy b a roll of fiberglass c-flex planking at the factory in Pascaghoula Mississippi and have it trucked to where one is, yet one still has the slow frame construction issue much less the high cost of epoxy and fiberglass that precludes significant error in shape.

I believe that a bendable framing material that keeps its shape in makeing upside-down forms that fiberglass, bendable planking can be put on and rolled with epoxy would be a good time-expediting tool. One could pre-cut frame component lengths for a boat and mail them strait yet bending them into position at the assembly location by hand. For trimaran hulls the shapes taper toward bow and stern obviously, so one knows what I am describing. Once the fiberglass is applied and dried the frames are either made to be disposable to become part of the vessel. I suppose one could cut something like fiberglass planking with thin metal strips within form pieces in some way.

For purposes of nthis blog post I wanted to suggest that there may be a number of ways to make bendable boat forms and even small dome building forms that are easy to assemble and perhaps cover with a number of kinds of material. There might be world-wide use for such simple construction components-who can say.

On this topic of future building materials the topic of placing a ban on robots of war has arisen-its probably a good idea, yet one that has problems with hardware and software continuum containment criteria. It is simply the case that any sort of program code in a machine-even a clock radio-is a robot in a way, though it be of very low IQ. Stopping the proliferation of code in chips and software with code from going into machine wouldn't actually halt the proliferation of machines with programming that can deliver harm to humans.

Consider that in about 30 years there may be global networks of of energy and information that are wireless covering every square meter of the planet Earth.  Cargo will float and travel in wireless power streams and room-temperature super-conducting materials in flying drone batteries will allow unlimited surveillance of every place on Earth continuously. People that survive the concentration of wealth reductionism era may get used to the perennial monitoring by a vast armada of government and corporate entities.

Human travel may simply be floating along on a platform in the energy stream. Already one may recharge some electric car batteries wirelessly in a garage. In 30 years wireless energy transmission technology will advance a lot, as will solar energy voltaics and super-conductors. Altogether it will be a different world requiring better use of economic value theory, land use and social justice. 

It would be an unfamiliar world where ubiquitous g.p.s. guided packages entirely replaced the U.S. postal service with transparent mail is transparent packages floating along flypaths to addresses delivered with protocol permissions from residents and people being delivered while sleeping off mandatory government depression screening and drug reconditioning could commute to work on a flying carpet dreaming in a rem state of vacation at the beach house.

Yet people failed to understand that capitalism is supposed to be rather more egalitarian and with labor and ownership in a closer feedback loop without government imbalancing one side or the other. Taxation is supposed to be regulatory ion the rich and poor in order to keep them dialectically balanced and forever progressing with adaptive ecospheric economic contextual cognition capacity. Even good new free enterprise is stifled by concentrated wealth and networked power resisting change.
