[Fis] New Discussion Session--Complexity & feedback

[Karl Javorszky]

*Explaining the previously unexplainable*

*Part I. Western approach *

Thanks to Peter, we now have a name for the monster we had been hunting for
so long: Assembly of circular feedback loops (ACFL) . What a funny
technical name for life. As we create a numeric model of life, we begin
small.

The central idea of the system „ACFL” is that there is a structural
something in it that causes the feedback loops to exist. The system is not
idly resting in its ideal end state. It has always something to try to
regulate better. If by no other means, we can try to understand the system
by its diverse forms of malfunctioning, as Peter suggests.

   1. The rhetorical challenge

>From a viewpoint of rhetoric, one stands before an exercise for which there
is a precedent. Copernic, Giordano Bruno, and Galileo worked on different
aspects of the same message, namely that the Teaching is wrong and should
be partly rewritten, using new perspectives.

The message these three gentlemen said was roughly:

The Teaching is factually erroneous. The Teaching is only an excuse to
maintain power of oppression. Notwithstanding the errors of the Teaching,
let us utilize the true facts.

See who had a fine life, corresponding with some selected Learned Friends,
who again got the heavy response of the Keepers of the Teaching, and who at
the end narrowly got away from them, into house arrest. Copernic kept his
discretion, knowing that those who speak do not know, those who know do not
speak. Bruno went all in and paid the price of speaking truth to power.

We are presently at the stage of Galileo. We obviously see that the
Teaching has run aground on the unforgiving shores of Biology, and has a
gaping hole under water regarding its credibility in all things biologic.
There is no way to explain biology by only using the tools Teaching permits.

Galileo wrote in everyday prose that he assembled glasses in a pipe and
looked through. His contemporaries were interested (and intellectually
honest) enough to redo the exercise and convince themselves that the moons
of Jupiter indeed circle Jupiter and not the Earth, as Teaching says they
would do.

Now, in our situation, professional courtesy would suggest that one does
first look through a telescope and contemplate afterwards, whether all
heavenly bodies circle the Earth or not. In our case, one does not need two
lenses and a pipe, but 12 books.

Watching the movements of the books as they are reordered from author -
title into title - author and retour, one will meet what Galileo called the
Medici planets, albeit in the form of the numeric values of 1, 11, 32, 66,
97, 136, 140.

For 12 random objects with 2 properties, chances are about ¾ that one finds
meaningful cycles. Repeat the exercise a few times.

   2. The Medici moons and the Marijuán constants

The bedrock stones of the argumentation, which should be called Marijuán
structural constants, show the main points of the translation function
between similar and different. Humans use different neurological procedures
and practices to count similarities before a background of diversities, as
contrasted to counting diversities before a background of similarities.

Counting anything relies on good faith. One should not use divergent
backgrounds for measuring without attending to the bias resulting from the
artefact. (One does not allow a drug to market if it does not differentiate
for the different physiologies of smokers/drinkers. If extraterrestrials
made an inventory of Earth and concluded that humans are on average 163 cm
and 78 kg, we would consider the visitors to be morons, because they did
not count the length – mass coefficients separately for female and male
humans. Also, these aliens could not understand that there are *two *average
values for body lengths and *two *average values for body mass. Their
calculations would make no sense, because they would always refer to
*one *central
element, instead of to at least *two.*)

Our present conflict is not about Earth or Sun. The whole system is neither
Earth- nor Sun-centered. It has an inner duality within itself. We simply
read the sentence *a + b = c *in the form of *2(a + b), *by redistributing
the right side to the elements of the left side.

The rule we use is the rule you experience as you move one of your books
from its old place to its new place.

   3. Romantic relations among books

Note that *anything *that has a pair of properties shared to different
extents with its peers will establish * relations with some selected of its
peers, depending on the periodic changes that affect the assembly.

In case the relation denoted * above has not been named yet, one may
suggest the name of *romantic *relationship that connects members of a
cycle. The numeric value of the romantic relationship is called the *lien*
of the cycle. The logical existence of the romantic and the numeric
existence of the liens make up the system of *Romantic Liaisons Due To
Periodic Changes.*

The system of Liaisons is a part of the relations among natural numbers.
(The mnemonic of ‚romantic‘ comes from the bonmot of reordering the
library. Please make separate lists of the books that come in the same
cycle. Would you have thought that a cookbook, a novel and a dictionary…
etc. are romantically related? There are liens among such elements that are
members of the same cycle of a reorder.

The liaisons among symbols are there, as your own deictic movements have
defined the concept. You cannot deny what you have experienced. Even in
case if the cookbook, the novel and the directory have since been reordered
and are anywhere, the fact remains that these 3 have a *romantic *relation,
which has a numeric value for each of the partners, and has a trigger
switch that activates this of the many romantic relations that the
cookbook, the novel and the dictionary have to their partners in different
other cycles. It is a small, little, well-kept romantic secret that
cookbook, novel, dictionary belong together, but their relation exists and
can be realized to conditions previously agreed whenever fate such commands
or periodic changes make it happen.

So far the introduction to the idea of counting concurrently in two
interrelated systems of symbols, expressed in terms of Western concepts,
analogies, and precedent.
