“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Why do Land Animals Have Such Big Eyes and Brains Compared to Sea Animals?
ATP is generated aerobically (with oxygen) for sustained energy, producing much more ATP (around 30+) via the mitochondria through glucose, fats, and proteins, while anaerobically (without oxygen) for quick bursts, yielding little ATP (2 molecules) from glucose in the cytoplasm, primarily as glycolysis (producing lactic acid) or the ATP-PCr system for very short power needs, with the aerobic system being efficient and the anaerobic systems being fast but inefficient.
Aerobic Respiration (With Oxygen)
Location: Mitochondria (in eukaryotes).
Process: Involves glycolysis, Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Oxidative Phosphorylation (Electron Transport Chain).
Fuel: Glucose, fats, and proteins are fully broken down.
ATP Yield: High (around 30-32 ATP per glucose molecule).
A tier is a row, level, or layer of something, typically arranged in a series one above or behind another, such as stadium seating, wedding cake layers, or hierarchical ranks in a system. It denotes a specific, often ranked, position in a structure, such as a "top tier" (highest level) or a "three-tier system".
And.
A phase is a distinct stage in a process, development, or a recurring series of changes (e.g., phases of the moon). It also refers to a physically separate state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) or a specific aspect of a situation. As a verb, it means planning or executing something in stages, often used as "phase in" or "phase out".
here exactly is the difference between us -- you still bent on magical thinking -- if you named it, you feel like you got it... while I still think that understanding -- it beyond words.
Yawn.
PS And. Surely. Your latin symbols magic... do not work on me, bu-ga-gah. ;^p
The Temple of Zeus Larissaios was an ancient site in Argos, Greece, noted by the 2nd-century AD traveler Pausanias. It housed an archaic statue of Zeus featuring a third eye in the center of its forehead. Legend claimed this statue was originally Priam's Zeus Herkeios brought from Troy.
Key Details regarding the Temple of Zeus Larissaios:
Location: Argos, Greece.
Notable Feature: An archaic image of Zeus with three eyes, interpreted in later antiquity as representing the god's all-seeing nature.
Mythological Connection: Associated with the narrative of Argus Panoptes, a hundred-eyed giant, whose eyes were later transferred by Hera to a peacock.
Source: Mentioned in the writings of Pausanias.
The name "Larissaios" connects to the citadel of Argos, known as Larissa.

Your eyes HAVE gotten bigger... ;)
What's your prescription? Near or Far sighted?
Technologists are Far sighted...
...with big "planning" brains.
...yet in Phase 1 you wish to return to a "reactive" (vice proactive) environment. A "low intelligence" sphere.
anaerobic (low energy) vs. aerobic (high energy) reactivity.

Location: Mitochondria (in eukaryotes).
Process: Involves glycolysis, Krebs cycle (Citric Acid Cycle), and Oxidative Phosphorylation (Electron Transport Chain).
Fuel: Glucose, fats, and proteins are fully broken down.
ATP Yield: High (around 30-32 ATP per glucose molecule).
Best For: Sustained, low-to-moderate intensity activities (e.g., marathon running, long-distance cycling).
Anaerobic Respiration (Without Oxygen)
Location: Cytoplasm (cytosol).
Processes: Glycolysis (Lactic Acid System): Glucose breaks down to pyruvate and then lactate, producing 2 ATP quickly.
ATP-PCr System: Creatine phosphate provides immediate energy, sustaining activity for 5-15 seconds.
Fuel: Primarily glucose (carbohydrates).
ATP Yield: Low (2 ATP per glucose via glycolysis).
Best For: Short, intense bursts of energy (e.g., sprinting, weightlifting, jumping).
Key Differences Summarized
Speed vs. Efficiency: Anaerobic is fast but inefficient; aerobic is slow but highly efficient.
Oxygen: Required for aerobic, not for anaerobic.
Byproducts: Anaerobic glycolysis produces lactic acid; aerobic produces \(\text{CO}_{2}\) and water.
Duration: Anaerobic for short bursts, aerobic for endurance.
I suppose you've done the trade study.
//...yet in Phase 1 you wish to return to a "reactive" (vice proactive) environment. A "low intelligence" sphere.
What "phase 1"???
//Technologists are Far sighted...
And you are expert in technologists??? not. ;^p
Ocean.
You don't have to be an idiot to know what one is... ;)
Still dont get it.
That was "tier 0"

Choice of words important... if they gonna mean something.
Yawn.
But... mashup of words is Ok too. If they are meaningless.
Yawn.
"buzz itself is the message"
Unless... idiots unable to grok that they idiots... just an observation of mine.
Yawn.
As a verb, it means planning or executing something in stages...
Your "tiers" aren't also phases of systems development? My bad. I "ass-u-me-d.
The same goes for "experts'....
What were the Tiers again?
AND phases too.
But in a sense base floor of a building precede second one. And that -- third.
But structurally, they all need to be there, simultaneously.
That's important detail, isn't it?
You like to point out truisms, isn't it?
Yawn.
So do I... ;^p
Like vowels and consonants waiting to be combined/ recombined...
naaah... just la-la-ling in own deserted la-la-land.
what a view! what an acoustics!
%^)))
An Echo/ Narcissus feedback loop....
Words, words, words...
here exactly is the difference between us -- you still bent on magical thinking -- if you named it, you feel like you got it... while I still think that understanding -- it beyond words.

My human induced AI Psychosis isn't affecting you? That's a shame...
But hey, you draw your own map to Larisa. Mines atop a hill outside Argos... near the Temple of Zeus Larissaios.
from Google AI:
The Temple of Zeus Larissaios was an ancient site in Argos, Greece, noted by the 2nd-century AD traveler Pausanias. It housed an archaic statue of Zeus featuring a third eye in the center of its forehead. Legend claimed this statue was originally Priam's Zeus Herkeios brought from Troy.

My words DO things!
Behold
...and mine don't "magically" appear on your screen?
mene, mene, tekel, parsin
On the Myths of technology...
AI Psychosis much, Hal?
...cuz all the magic is in the screen's fixed/ layered substrates. Can you make your magic work on an un-reliable substrate (ie - bio-electricity)?
Have you convinced mankind, with your tech, to stop making wars and weapons in order to advance it?
Maybe we just need to introduce a new Apex Predator (Like AI in The Matrix, or Terminator)...
Physics can simulate the physics of our Universe. Math can simulate the physics in every conceivably universe....
Your "magic" (code) only works in your universe (compiled code). Mine works in all of them.
