COMMUNICATION -> UNIFICATION (OMISSION OF UNNECESSARY DETAILS = ABSTRACTION)

1. Space: set of elements obeying certain axioms.
change axioms <-> change space

[page 58]

2. Metric yields distance between two points. Defined axiomatically.

3. Axioms are abstracted from experience; they are an abstract model of the entity in question. Model is a relative term.

Definition of metric space:

defined on X x X.

1. metric is real valued, finite and non negative.
2. d(x, y) = 0 iff x = y.
3. d(x, y) = d(y, x).
4. d(x, y) =< d(x, z) + d(z, y) (triangle inequality).

Religion is very much in the news these days and we see that some things are rotten in the theocratic state. To prove that the Universe is divine we devise the biggest possible model and see if the Universe fits it.

Article by disappointed theology student seeking an appointment. It is done in the spirit of modern marketing, you've got to sell yourself if you want to get good value for yourself. And once sold, one wants a watertight and equitable agreement on the values that are being exchanged.

Also, since our universities are beginning to be seen as utilitarian businesses I must sell myself to a university not just as a person with some ideas that deserve testing for their potential social benefit, but as a profit centre ie productive of literature, attractive to students, and thereby maximizing its income and potential for growth and power.

Pneumatology: = pure mathematics = the structure of angels. Every angel is a different Turing machine (Thomas Aquinas: every angel is a different species). Pneumatology described noetic space. Every theorem is a wormhole in noetic space, identifying two sets of points by uniting the properties of these two sets of points: thus the sum of the squares . . .

ON INDIVIDUALITY: Every point in the Universe is a different species. This is the complexity of god.

The execution of theoretical structures is carried out by functions, and the theory of functions (isomorphic to quantum mechanics) tells us what functions can and cannot do. Basically this theory must be developed by producing constructive or non-constructive computing machines. See Turing's classification at the beginning of 1937. Turing.

Each peer level chooses certain stable features (functions) of the layer below it as an alphabet of operations to build the processes it wants to apply.

Innate ideas (structures) are symmetries between an organism and its environment, developed through the tree of descent (adaptation).

Feynman, Richard P, and Robert B Leighton, Matthew Sands, The Feynman Lectures on Physics (volume 3) : Quantum Mechanics, Addison Wesley 1970 Foreword: 'This set of lectures tries to elucidate from the beginning those features of quantum mechanics which are the most basic and the most general. ... In each instance the ideas are introduced together with a detailed discussion of some specific examples - to try to make the physical ideas as real as possible.' Matthew Sands

John, and Alexander Jones (editor), in The Jerusalem Bible, Darton Longman and Todd 1966 Introduction to Saint John: '[This] gospel has a complex literary form: it is akin to the earliest Christian preaching, and yet at the same time it gives the final results of a quest ... for a deeper and more rewarding apprehension of the mystery of Jesus. Each of the evangelists has his own approach to Christ's person and mission. For St John, he is the Word made flesh, come to give life to men, 1:14,and this, the mystery of the Incarnation, dominates the whole of John's thought.' p 140.

Kreyszig, Erwin, Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications, John Wiley and Sons 1989 Amazon: 'Kreyszig's "Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications", provides a great introduction to topics in real and functional analysis. This book is part of the Wiley Classics Library and is extremely well written, with plenty of examples to illustrate important concepts. It can provide you with a solid base in these subjects, before one takes on the likes of Rudin and Royden. I had purchased a copy of this book, when I was taking a graduate course on real analysis and can only strongly recommend it to anyone else.' Krishnan S. Kartik

Nielsen, Michael A, and Isaac L Chuang, Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, Cambridge University Press 2000 Review: A rigorous, comprehensive text on quantum information is timely. The study of quantum information and computation represents a particularly direct route to understanding quantum mechanics. Unlike the traditional route to quantum mechanics via Schrödinger 's equation and the hydrogen atom, the study of quantum information requires no calculus, merely a knowledge of complex numbers and matrix multiplication. In addition, quantum information processing gives direct access to the traditionally advanced topics of measurement of quantum systems and decoherence.'
