Celebrating personal discordia and spiritual anarchy.

"Anarchy is not intended to be sustainable. It is not a system of government, a codified list of rules and beliefs, or a mind set geared toward cultural constructivism. It is a spark, a flash, a small flame that ignites a paradigm-obliterating explosion. It is destructive by nature. It lies dormant and, like diesel fuel, can only be ignited by tremendous pressure. It deconstructs. It strips flesh from bone and grinds bone to dust. It is doomed to consumption in the conflagration instigated by its own primal spark. It is a catalyst. It is tinder. It is powder and fuse."

Order in Chaos; Limitaions to Decaying and Erratic Systems

True chaos would require unlimited space and time in order to exist, since neither space nor time are infinite, chaos is limited to the paramaters of its confinement. The smaller the unit, the more organized and less chaotic it is. The following is from:
Smith, R. D. (1998) 'Social Structures and Chaos Theory'
Sociological Research Online, vol. 3, no. 1,

Check it out:

Chaos, like Relativity, Darwinism and Mechanism before it, has the potential to be transformed into a metaphor and to have its terminology misunderstood and misapplied. Indeed numerous new titles currently available indicate this trend has already begun. (eg. Savage, 1988). The best defence against this is a well-defined and accepted formalism

3.10
In order to have a formal notion of structure which is consistent with the chaos theory paradigm we now need to return to a requirement so far unelaborated. In its most precise rendering chaos can only arise when the possibility of any given state repeating itself is potentially zero. To take the illustration of a strange attractor such as the Lorenz attractor (as in Figure 4) what is needed is a situation in which the orbital pathway of a flow or flux can continue for an indefinitely long period of time (for eternity) without ever passing through the same point twice. If this condition is not met then the orbit is not in fact chaotic but periodic even though highly convoluted. What this in turn means is that the phase-space in which the flux is propagated should be continuous and not quantised. A quantised space, however large, is effectively finite and thus cannot provide for truly chaotic behaviour.[10]

For true chaos to be present the orbital pathway must be a line of infinite length. If it passes through the same point twice then the deterministic nature of chaos informs us the orbit is of fixed periodicity and length. In order for true chaos to exist in nature, then, it may be necessary for space-time to be continuous and not quantised. If it is quantised then the number of possible positions is, while incomprehensibly large, finite. Conservation of energy means that the phase-space for such an orbit would likewise be limited. Lattice-models in which both chaos and solitons arise, however, have been proposed (Sayadi and Pouget, 1991).

Note that in this plot the lines clearly appear to intersect. They only appear to do so because this a two-dimensional rendering of a three-dimensional process. Chaos in a phase-space depends on the dimensions of the phase-space. If the actual dimensions of the connections (the lattice through which the signal or influence propagates) is of evolving or growing dimensionality then apparently finite restrictions may be ephemeral. See, however, for opposing views on themes related to this, Dyson (1988) and Gell-Mann (1994).

Reductio Ad Absurdum


Alain Aspect (born 15 June 1947 in Agen) is a French physicist and alumnus of the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan) in France. In the early 1980s, with collaborators in France, he performed the crucial "Bell test experiments" that showed that Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen's reductio ad absurdum of quantum mechanics, namely that it implied 'ghostly action at a distance', did in fact appear to be realised when two particles were separated by an arbitrarily large distance. A correlation between their wave functions remained, as they were once part of the same wave-function that was not disturbed before one of the child particles was measured.

If quantum theory is correct, the determination of an axis direction for polarisation measurement of one photon, forcing the wave function to 'collapse' onto that axis, will influence the measurement of its twin. This influence occurs despite any experimenters not knowing which axes have been chosen by their distant colleagues, and at distances that disallow any communication between the two photons, even at the speed of light.

SOOOOOOO what the hell does that really mean for us?

Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart.

Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.

University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings imply that objective reality does not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

To understand why Bohm makes this startling assertion, one must first understand a little about holograms. A hologram is a three- dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser.

To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern (the area where the two laser beams commingle) is captured on film.

When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.

The three-dimensionality of such images is not the only remarkable characteristic of holograms. If a hologram of a rose is cut in half and then illuminated by a laser, each half will still be found to contain the entire image of the rose.

Indeed, even if the halves are divided again, each snippet of film will always be found to contain a smaller but intact version of the original image. Unlike normal photographs, every part of a hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole.

The "whole in every part" nature of a hologram provides us with an entirely new way of understanding organization and order. For most of its history, Western science has labored under the bias that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its respective parts.

A hologram teaches us that some things in the universe may not lend themselves to this approach. If we try to take apart something constructed holographically, we will not get the pieces of which it is made, we will only get smaller wholes.

AH! A universe of mirrors, or fractals. It appears we may be SIMS.....

Ronald K. Noble.

“Noble, who is known as “The Enforcer,” has been instrumental in working with Chinese authorities to provide policing in the Communist country for major national events. However, his most notorious role was in ordering and then, in his position as Undersecretary for Enforcement of the United States Department of the Treasury, whitewashing the actions of the BATF following the federal government’s murderous siege on the Branch Davidian compound at Waco which killed 76 people including more than 20 children and two pregnant women in April 1993.”

Alone


“I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other”

Rainer Maria Rilke

This is damn hard.
I think karma is about
To sneak up and bite me in the ass.
I'm just sayin'.

Release from the Wheel


There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.
-- Author Unknown

You are gone from me.
I am here, standing alone.
All is clear and calm.

I am finally able to let you go.
Maybe you should allow yourself the same luxury.
It opens a new world, a new way of thinking,
A whole new lease on the unfolding future.
No more fear.
No more anxiety as to whether it will,
Or will not,
Be everything we expected,
Wished for or
Feared.
Just the wind
Blowing through an open window.
Clean.
Clear.
Crisp.

The future looks different to me now.
Empty,
Terrifying,
Exhilarating,
And full of
Possibilities.

Time to Disorganize


Resistance is as easy as saying "no"... or better yet "I have every intention, just haven't gotten around to it yet" when it comes to obedience to the powers that be.
Organized resistance may not be the answer at this point...

PROCRASTINATE CONFORMITY.

That should make Ghandi proud.

Lifespan of an Empire


Alexander Fraser Tyler
1748 to 1813
The Decline and Fall of the Athenian Republic.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on the majority always vote for the candidates promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury, with a result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy and is followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependency;
From dependency back into bondage.

The history of the world indicates democracies have a lifespan of approximately 200 years after which they fall under the weight of succeeding generations who prefer to be bottle-fed by government rather than do the work required to defend liberties taken for granted.
