MODEL06 Topological duality
ORDERED <-> PREDICTABLE
CHAOTIC <-> UNPREDICTABLE
MODEL07 Unity, plurality and conflict.
Cardinal gives us broad classification. ORDINAL - TOPOLOGICAL gives us the details.
ATOMIC ACTION with and WITHOUT structure.
PHYSICS01ACTION (again)
THEOL01WAR
People come into conflict when
a) they do not sort things out among themselves by compromise, inevitably necessary, COMPROMISE == COMMUNICATION == SYMMETRY
All communication is genetic.
Space time ordering (and so causality)
[page 143]
is mixed (lost) from our naive point of view but the laws of special relativity allow us to transform distant frames back to causally intelligible systems.
CONFLICT ELASTIC (life preserving) PLASTIC (life and death) (shaped only by conserved probability).
The abstract gives us wider vision and because it is elastic, repeated vision, whereas the plastic gives us realistic detail (I must kill to live) [but only once] This is the creative tradeoff.
Many overtly religious people have outstandingly tiny minds. To cite a blatant and violent example (SMH ... [Sydney Morning Herald] Ceram.
You tell me what you think and I will tell you what I think. [then we will kill one another]
Once we get the religion perfected, then we go into business as religious optimization and conflict resolution consultants. We have
[page 144]
a method, a scientific method, of conflict resolution (as do, we presume, heaps of other people in the same business.) Get them to agree on some principles and then use them to design a conclusion - NK = many conflicting constraints. Kauffman
Through the symmetry of the natural line, we can view the gigantic structure of transfinite symbols as a system of nested boxes. This powerful abstraction is the foundation of set theory and implicit in Cantor's definition 'the gathering together into a whole'. Cantor In simple terms, the whole induces the parts.
This process is visible before our eyes in processes using FOCH spaces.
A TECHNOLOGY = PROCESS = PROOF, ie establishing the existence of a physical structure grounded in the existence of existing physical structures.
[page 145]
We distinguish the interior from the exterior of an organism by the degree to which activities are directed to the welfare of the organism. In the extreme interior = 100% pro, exterior = 0% [50%] pro.
Let us code up the 'NK model with duality" in Perl.
COMMUNICATION = PROOF = TRANSFORMATION = SYMMETRY = CURVATURE(?)
Trial and error must take over when sufficiently precise, accurate and reproducible measurement is not possible.
DIGITIZATION = STABILITY
VALUE = BONUM
The essential practical different between space and time is that we can make inverse motions in space (there and back) but not in time (not back to the past and then forward to the future).
[page 146]
A sentence is a particle having the desired meaning when taken as a whole.
We can only understand continuity and change by the notion of duality (eg Aristotle matter and form). Monists are doomed to deny change. In the modern world we see change as creation and annihilation, but we imagine that what is annihilated and what is created have something in common (as A's matter) which carries through the change unscathed.
CHAIN PRINCIPLE
In a dynamic view time has zeroth dimension (ie it is not a degree of freedom) The first degree of freedom in the REAL LINE whose structure is the mathematical centrepiece of this yarn. Our parables come from nature.
TIME HAS ZERO DIMENSION
[page 147]
Is this the vision of the century. Some might say time is not real (Hawking) Hawking
The idea began to appear in Proof and Time. TIME == DEPENDENCY, CAUSALITY (Causal structure of universe involves SPACETIME)
Sport pointless but it exists because it is there, ie a source of energy and a source of low entropy.
Feed forward : Feed back [diagram]
Antiparticles are feed back.

| Cantor, Georg, Contributions to the Founding of the Theory of Transfinite Numbers (Translated, with Introduction and Notes by Philip E B Jourdain), Dover 1955 Jacket: 'One of the greatest mathematical classics of all time, this work established a new field of mathematics which was to be of incalculable importance in topology, number theory, analysis, theory of functions, etc, as well as the entire field of modern logic.'

| Kauffman, Stuart, At Home in the Universe: The Search for Laws of Complexity, Oxford University Press 1995 Preface: 'As I will argue in this book, natural selection is important, but it has not laboured alone to craft the fine architectures of the biosphere ... The order of the biological world, I have come to believe ... arises naturally and spontaneously because of the principles of self organisation - laws of complexity that we are just beginning to uncover and understand.'
