<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In psychology, the standard assumption about the individual
is that it lives and experiences in a continuous fashion. Sleep inhibits the
acknowledgement of continuity, but does not negate it. If there are continuity problems,
like amnesia or depersonalisation, these are irregularities which deserve an
extra name. Life is a continuous adaptation to changes; the discontinuity is
not a feature but a bug.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In the excellent lecture Krassimir has drawn our attention
to, expectations are in the process of being axiomatized. The idea of
expectations is in the process of being introduced into rational thinking,
because it had not yet been a part of it. A biologic construction – the hypophysis
– is used as an empirical basis from which to attempt to explain the phenomenon
of regulation, namely that there is a target value and an actual value. Great
courage is needed by a mathematician to refer to the processes of the glands,
because if there is one thing neurologists, physiologists and histologists can
agree on, then that is that the hypophysis is a really complicated something
that causes effects in ways that are presently far from being understood. One
could as well have said “God” for the complex system of interrelations that are
causing effects over a wide field. The lecturer extends himself and leaves the
terrain of mathematics. He needs to introduce a causing principle which acts in
mysterious fashions, like the hypophysis does. Yet, the lecturer does address
the subject of expectations, because one has to deal with the term if one wants
to understand a world in which there are things that can be otherwise. <span> </span>Expectations are a bug in the mathematical
theory, not a feature. In biology, expectations are the fundament of all
thinking: be it that the protozoa expect the Sun to rise again and rise to the
surface of the sea, be it that the K-Na pump is switched into reverse on
reaching one of the limit levels, be it that we breath out a short while after
we have breathed in. Expectations are very much a feature in biology,
definitely not a bug.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">To have expectations, one must have alternatives, from among
which one learns to rank some as highly probable and some as among the least
expected. The idea necessarily presupposes the existence of a duality of how it
is and how it could/should/will be. (A compliment here goes to Joe Brenner, who
has given intellectual birth to a concept of a two-ways-existing mental
construct, evolved solely by induction. One who has built by Lego blocks a
two-ways-existing mental construct, raises the hat before the ingenuity of the
artist who has created the construction only by means of brain, paper and
pencil.)<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Let me digress into the world of games. Chess and Go are
suitable examples. The description of the positions of the figures in a middle
stage of the game is a narration of facts. This narrative can be seen as consisting
of two parts: A) Description of the positions of Black, B) Description of the
positions of White.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The set of possible moves is different to the set of reasonable,
clever, expected moves. This is the moment, where the term ‘expectation’
becomes one of its meanings. There is a result of a utility function attached to
each of the possible moves and players, and nowadays computers, too, evaluate
the gain in their strategic situation when choosing one of the possible moves.
This evaluation procedure is no more in the <i>physical,
</i>but rather in the <i>metaphysical </i>realm.
While the player collects and sorts his available moves, nothing happens on the
physical board. The narrative about this phase would be considered
traditionally contentious; that computers have been taught to play Chess and Go
up to the theoretically possible best level is of no philosophical relevance.
There remain for the foreseeable future sufficiently many and diverse such games,
where we have no evaluating algorithm, like in the case of the hypophysis,
because we do not yet understand the game’s goals and rules. There remain two
sets of expectations regarding the next move of W or B, and we cannot be sure whether
we anticipate the next move of the opponent correctly. Whatever happens, there
will be expectations that have gone unfulfilled.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We need to have an entry point into discussing expectations
and the density of unfulfilled expectations. Thanks to the Sumerians, we do
have such a plaything and thanks to the last four generations, we have powerful
machines with which to create a habitat for the playthings to go forth and do
their thing. We can hammer iron into a circle, we can chop an axle out of a
tree trunk and we can weave liana to hold a leather bearing: here we have the
wheel. The idea will turn out to be useful beyond imagination, presently it is
unheard-of, unorthodox, frivolous, barbarian, unprofessional.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Expectations are a part of the package if one takes a fresh
look at <i>a+b=c.</i> We are so much habituated
to concentrating on the result, the summary, the essence of the operation, <i>c, </i>that we have forgotten how to read
the previous stage, the commencement, that what has been, <i>a+b</i>. This state of the world is by no means gone, <i>a, b </i>are by no means actually unified,
they remain different, although they share many common straits. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Importance, pre-eminence, superiority are principles one
meets in a concept of adaptation and evolution. Whether <i>a </i>or <i>b </i>are pre-eminent
does make a great difference. The world is quite different if seen by the eyes
of <i>a, </i>as opposed to the arrangements considered
normal by <i>b</i>. If there is order, there
are alternatives to that order. Between the competing orders, actual and target
values exist. The term expectation is rooted in facts, like the possible moves
of a game are rooted in the facts of the actual dispersion of the figures. One
needs only to order some elements and reorder them differently to see the term
expectation, without taking recourse to some incomprehensible otherworldly
inventions like the hypophysis. <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The funny thing about continuity and expectations is, that
they both are aspects of the same fact. The linear position (“rank”) of an
element is a corollary of an order A. The rank of that same element in order B
is also a fact. Of the two ranks a place on a plane can be pointed out. The
tautology goes: the position on a plane is the same as ranks in two orders. The
seemingly non-tautological secret of life is hidden in the fact, that the <b>axis</b>
A necessarily registers among the properties of each of its elements the <b>planar </b>place of that element, if a plane
exists with axes A and B. The surprise is that the Sumerian invention hyped up
with Wittgenstein machines shows that once <b>axis
</b>A creates <b>plane </b>AB, a <b>space </b>is created by itself with axes
ABC. The wanderings of the logical primitives show, that the continuous truth <i>a=a</i> is maintained by a jump-hop, disperse-gather, turn-once mechanism based on twice three phases. In order for the
DNA to be logically the same as the organism, the rank of a token along an axis
has to register the planar place of something referred to twice, and the planar
places must be positioned in a space of which the spatial directions are given
by axes AB, BC, BA. This is indeed the case.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Nature has very clear expectations about what is a position
in space, based on two planar places, based on three linear ranks. She is
actually economising on the third descriptive axis, using the expectations <i>carry_a<sub>A </sub>+ carry_a<sub>B</sub> + carry_a<sub>C</sub>
= 18, carry_b<sub>A </sub>+ carry_b<sub>B</sub> + carry_b<sub>C</sub> = 33. </i>The
spatial reference to the objects can keep existing and be valid during the
non-existence of space in the third direction, because if two summands of a
partition of a given number into three are given, the third summand is
tautologic.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">How much the left and the right hemispheres of the brain are
different and in what dimensions, can best be left presently in the hands of
the people in white coats. The same is valid about the differences between Dr
Jekill and Mr Hyde. Let us set our sights on achievable goals. Let us find out
what the term order means, and what rules a sustainable order could follow, in
theory.<span></span></p>

Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” and “Killing Commendatore” touch on subjects that are, in this person’s opinion, worthy of discussing in this present scientific-intellectual debating society. <span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Let us put Murakami in a connection with Jonathan Swift. The Irishman has presaged with his “Gulliver’s Travels” massive changes in the perception of royalty, authorities, rules and conventions. Although King Charles II was tried and executed in 1649, the Restoration twelve years later has eradicated the positive connotations to getting rid of a ruler. Up to Gulliver, it seems that the common understanding has continuously accepted the religious-mythical connotations of political force. The belief in authorities and their possession of transcendent powers has been the unspoken background of the idea of a functioning society. Swift has challenged the prevailing meme, by substituting it by a narrative, where Kings are minuscule, pompous dotards. The slogans of state get deflated if the common cause is reduced to the conflict of opening up the breakfast egg on which end. You can’t adore a God-Emperor if he is that naïve, completely lacking common sense and decency. Laughing about a mighty ruler is a necessary step towards guillotining the formerly mighty same. As a medicine, Swift’s Gulliver has the characteristics of a <i>depot forte. </i>Its effects establish themselves almost imperceptibly, over a long time period. It took over three generations from Gulliver to the French Revolution.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Murakami appears to me to exert a similar influence on contemporary thinking as Swift had. It may take another generation or two to be able to speak in rational terms about his ideas. Like the ideas brought home by Gulliver from his Travels, the ideas expressed in 1Q84 elicit in their reader a smile and a wonderment, ending in a relieved realisation: this is only a phantasy, a tale, a story; this is nothing real. Swift has stated, although not <i>expressis verbis,</i> <span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 39pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Kings come in all kinds of varieties;<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 39pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>There is no unified, general rule of how Kings are to be;<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 39pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Kings maintain their rule by earthly methods of power and by elaborate memes;<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 39pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Almost anybody has more common sense and decency than the Kings.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Murakami does the same work of destroying, levelling and salting intellectual empires by stating, in the guise of an elaborate cloak-and-dagger sci-fi mystery phantasy:<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>Realities come in all kinds of varieties;<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>There is a specific variety of non-standard reality, which people (not: Murakami) call metaphysics;<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>This parallel reality is actually merged with the common reality, deviating visibly from that only in specific circumstances;<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>There are rules and axioms and protagonists in metaphysics very similar to those in common reality (“physics”);<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span>If we had different sensory organs, we could perceive parts of the other (“metaphysical”) reality, possibly losing some perceptions of the normal reality (if we could sense the Earth’s magnetism, we might not be able to distinguish some colors: we would live in a different reality);<span></span></p><p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0cm 36pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Symbol"><span>·<span style="font:7pt "Times New Roman""> </span></span></span><span> </span>The density of relations in the other variant influences actual facts in this variant (the density of charge in the parallel world of relations causes an actual lightning in the world of realised facts;

It is well attached to the surface of the factual world, and agglomerates only at times into such droplets or crumplets which modificate the actual things, all the while dramatically influencing the properties of the things they lubricate and separate at the same time. One would hope that time and patient research will bring to the surface such rational words, connected by rationally imaginable relations, which support the vision of two narratives running concurrently: one details what are the facts and one details what are the expectations, based on the facts so far. The two rhetorical strands could support Murakami’s vision. In case one had such a story to tell, about facts and expectations based on facts, one could call that what Murakami calls the Q-time/space also <i>the information content </i>of the story. This point makes the literary work a suitable subject for a submission to FIS.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Happy and healthy Eastern to you all!<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Karl<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt 18pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span> </span></p></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Fis mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Fis@listas.unizar.es" target="_blank">Fis@listas.unizar.es</a><br><a href="http://listas.unizar.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fis" target="_blank">http://listas.unizar.es/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fis</a><br>----------<br>INFORMACI�N SOBRE PROTECCI�N DE DATOS DE CAR�CTER PERSONAL<br><br>Ud. recibe este correo por pertenecer a una lista de correo gestionada por la Universidad de Zaragoza.<br>Puede encontrar toda la informaci�n sobre como tratamos sus datos en el siguiente enlace: <a href="https://sicuz.unizar.es/informacion-sobre-proteccion-de-datos-de-caracter-personal-en-listas" target="_blank">https://sicuz.unizar.es/informacion-sobre-proteccion-de-datos-de-caracter-personal-en-listas</a><br>Recuerde que si est� suscrito a una lista voluntaria Ud. puede darse de baja desde la propia aplicaci�n en el momento en que lo desee.<br><a href="http://listas.unizar.es" target="_blank">http://listas.unizar.es</a><br>----------<br></div></div></div></blockquote></div>
