Hector Goes to War

Friedrich Schiller, "Hector and Andromache"

Andromache
Will you, my Hector, forever go away
to where with unmatched hands Achilles makes
Patroclus bloody off’rings?
____________________Who will teach
your little one with strength to throw the spear,
or how to honor the gods, if what I fear
occurs and Orcus devours you?

Hector
Dear wife, enough of tears, for go I must,
for love of you I burn with battle-lust
my arms sustain Pergamus.
____________________If now I fall,
I’ll fall in the Trojan gods’ and your defense
as a pious hero, then make my descent
to grim, to Stygian Dis.

Andromache
I’ll never hear the clash of your weapons again,
unused, your iron will rust in the halls of men,
and Priam’s line will die.
__________________You’ll go to where
no sun, no day e’er shines his golden face,
to where the Cocytus slithers through the waste,
your love will die in the Lethe.

Hector
Though all my hopes and all my thoughts will sink,
from the gentle flow of the Lethe, my love won’t drink,
no, my love won’t drink.
__________________Listen! The Greeks
are blustering at Ilium’s walls. Now gird my sword,
hold back your tears, and listen to my word;
My love won’t die in the Lethe.

 

Georges Bataille: The Solar Anus & Sovereignty

I Am the Je Suis!

Just Follow the Plan!

THE PLAN

In the beginning was The Plan.
And then came the assumptions.
And the assumptions were without merit.
And The Plan was without substance.

And darkness was upon the face of the workers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, “It is
a crock of shit, and it stinketh.”

And the workers went unto their supervisors and said,
“It is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odor thereof.”

And the supervisors went unto their managers, saying, “It is
a container of excrement and it is very strong, such that
none may abide by it.”

And the managers went unto their directors, saying,
“It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong.”

And the directors went unto the VPs, saying unto them,
“It promotes growth and it is very powerful.”

And the VPs went unto the Prez, saying unto him, “This plan
will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company,
with powerful effects.”

And the Prez looked upon the plan, and saw that it was good.
And The Plan became Policy.
This is how shit happens!

On Lamaism vs. Islam: Where to Invest a Society's Surplus?

What is Life? 

Life is a chemical System that uses energy to keep itself from reaching chemical equilibrium. Equilibrium is the situation in which chemicals no longer have a tendency to react over time.

What are a Society's Eschatological Goals for the End Times.   To Immanentize it, or to Catechize it?  And to serving and achieving what 'ends' should a Society devote its' Surplus (Luxury - Necessity) energies?

from Google AI:

While Marx seeks to understand and optimize the production of wealth through human effort [Anthropogenic Energy?}. Bataille seeks to understand the necessary destruction of wealth through energy expenditure [Energy in all its' forms?].

Are you on Kronos Time? Or Kairos Time?

...Either way, the Quality of Times are Not Strained!

Shakespeare, "Merchant of Venice"

Portia: I pray you tarry, pause a day or two

Before you hazard, for in choosing wrong
I lose your company; therefore forbear a while.
There’s something tells me (but it is not love)
I would not lose you, and you know yourself
Hate counsels not in such a quality.
But lest you should not understand me well
(And yet a maiden hath no tongue but thought)
I would detain you here some month or two
Before you venture for me. I could teach you
How to choose right, but then I am forsworn.
So will I never be. So may you miss me.
But if you do, you’ll make me wish a sin,
That I had been forsworn. Beshrew your eyes,
They have o’erlooked me and divided me.
One half of me is yours, the other half yours—
Mine own, I would say—but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours. O, these naughty times
Puts bars between the owners and their rights!
And so though yours, not yours. Prove it so,
Let Fortune go to hell for it, not I.
I speak too long, but ’tis to peize the time,
To eche it, and to draw it out in length,
To stay you from election.

from Google AI:

Spoken by Portia in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, "peize the time, to eche it" refers to intentionally slowing or extending time to delay a critical moment. The phrase combines weighing down the pace with stretching it out, illustrating her desire to postpone Bassanio's casket choice.

Not all decisions must be made at the Speed of Causality!?  ;)

Hans-Georg Moeller: The Dark Psychology behind the West's Anti-Universalist "Affirmative-Semitism"

Shifting from an "Authentically felt" guilt for the holocaust (by actual Nazi's), to an Inauthentic, Profilic  and "Performative" guilt (by Descendants of Nazis) and transforming Affirmative-Semitism into the new "Civic Religion" of Germany, German sense of pride in "self".

“There is no such thing as collective guilt or collective innocence; guilt and innocence make sense only if applied to individuals.”

Positive Geometries, not Space-Time, is Fundamental?

from Google AI:

Positive geometry is an interdisciplinary field linking theoretical physics and algebraic geometry, where physical observables—such as particle scattering amplitudes—are determined by the geometry of specific shapes. These "positive geometries," including amplituhedra and cosmological polytopes, are specialized, often convex, higher-dimensional shapes that encode scattering probabilities and cosmological interactions through their structural boundaries and a unique associated "canonical form".

Key Aspects of Positive Geometry:

• Fundamental Idea: It provides a new way to calculate particle scattering amplitudes and cosmological correlations, bypassing traditional Feynman diagram methods.
• The Amplituhedron: Considered a prototypical positive geometry, it lives in momentum twistor space and helps calculate scattering in planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory.
• Structure: They are defined as semi-algebraic subsets of complex projective varieties (over the real numbers), with boundaries corresponding to physical singularities (where particle processes diverge).
• Canonical Form: Each positive geometry is associated with a unique "canonical form"—a differential form with logarithmic singularities on all boundaries.
• Significance: It serves as a candidate to redefine the foundations of quantum field theory and gravity, potentially showing that spacetime locality and unitarity are emergent properties rather than foundational assumptions. 

Positive geometry connects the abstract mathematics of convex polytopes and complex varieties to the practical calculation of particle interaction rates and cosmological evolution.

On Markov blankets

Yes, in the context of theoretical biology and cognitive science (specifically the Free Energy Principle), identity is often conceptualized as a Markov blanket. It acts as the boundary or interface that separates an agent's internal states from the external environment, defining what is "self" versus "not-self". 

Here is a breakdown of the connection:

• Definition of Self: A Markov blanket separates internal states (e.g., brain activity, metabolic states) from external states (e.g., the world). Your sense of self emerges within this blanket.
• Boundary Function: The blanket consists of sensory and active states that mediate interactions between the internal and external world. It defines an "inside" and "outside".
• Active Inference: As described in this Medium article by Satyam and thisLessWrong post, active inference is how systems maintain their identity (Markov blanket) by managing sensory input and active outputs, as explored in this PMC article.
• Dynamic Identity: Identity is not static; rather, it is a process of "knitting" a Markov blanket, meaning that living creatures actively maintain their boundaries through autopoietic (self-producing) processes.
• Scale Invariance: Markov blankets are nested, which means that "identities" can exist at different scales—from a single cell's membrane to an organism's sensorium. 

While a Reddit thread provides an intuitive overview of the concept, the idea that Markov blankets are essential for biological self-organization is detailed further in this research paper. 

Note: There is an ongoing debate about the limitations of this model in fully capturing biological identity, as noted by Walter Veit, regarding its ability to cover all facets of living systems
