that it lives and experiences in a continuous fashion. Sleep inhibits the
acknowledgement of continuity, but does not negate it. If there are continuity

discontinuity is not a feature but a bug.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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.
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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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><span
style='font-style:italic'>physical, </span></i>but rather in the <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>metaphysical </span></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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>Expectations are a part of the package if one takes a fresh look
at <i><span style='font-style:italic'>a+b=c.</span></i> We are so much
habituated to concentrating on the result, the summary, the essence of the
operation, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>c, </span></i>that we have
forgotten how to read the previous stage, the commencement, that what has been,
<i><span style='font-style:italic'>a+b</span></i>. This state of the world is
by no means gone, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>a, b </span></i>are by no
means actually unified, they remain different, although they share many common
straits. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

a concept of adaptation and evolution. Whether <i><span style='font-style:italic'>a
</span></i>or <i><span style='font-style:italic'>b </span></i>are pre-eminent
does make a great difference. The world is quite different if seen by the eyes
of <i><span style='font-style:italic'>a, </span></i>as opposed to the
arrangements considered normal by <i><span style='font-style:italic'>b</span></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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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><span
style='font-weight:bold'>axis</span></b> A necessarily registers among the
properties of each of its elements the <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>planar
</span></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><span style='font-weight:bold'>axis </span></b>A creates <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>plane </span></b>AB, a <b><span style='font-weight:
bold'>space </span></b>is created by itself with axes ABC. The wanderings of
the logical primitives show, that the continuous truth <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>a=a</span></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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

= 18, carry_b<sub>A </sub>+ carry_b<sub>B</sub> + carry_b<sub>C</sub> = 33. </span></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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>These last, long weeks being very much conductive to staying at
home, one would address the task of reading a long novel or two. 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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
color:black'>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><span
style='font-style:italic'>depot forte. </span></i>Its effects establish
themselves almost imperceptibly, over a long time period. It took over three
generations from Gulliver to the French Revolution.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>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

lubrication, veil, packaging cellophane foil or skin. 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><span

point makes the literary work a suitable subject for a submission to FIS.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
