There was a time when every word of the world sang with divinity, and then we learnt to write. The new instrument of communication became an instrument of power mightier than the sword. Kings and emperors used the written word to bind their subjects, creating

textual prisons that had never existed before. How do we break free? By quantum dynamics, the creation and annihilation of texts in real time, so that text no longer means eternal law, but the creation of the moment, to enjoy its existence and then go.

Both political extremes tend to 'variety reduction' or in political terms, 'fascism', the substitution of violence (particularly the murder of people who don't fit in). (Marr and Wilkinson, Marr and Wilkinson) Much of this variety reduction is achieved by blocking communication (ie secrecy)

Our hypothesis is that functions in a transfinite function space can model anything that god can do that is any consistent action. Add to this the abstraction that our most reliable and well tested model of the universal function, quantum mechanics, is also played out in transfinite function space.

| Andrew Mack The Human Security Report Prof. Andrew Mack is director of the Human Security Center at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and former director of the Strategic Planning Unit in the Executive Office of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan from 1998 to 2001 'Improbable though it may seem, the UN is also a real success story. Over the past 15 years there has been real progress toward realizing the organization?s core mandate - spelled out in its 1945 charter - "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war." The just-released Human Security Report, an independent study funded by five governments and published by the Oxford University Press, draws on a wide range of little-publicized scholarly research, plus its own specially commissioned studies, to present a portrait of global security sharply at odds with conventional wisdom (see: www.humansecurityreport.info). The report reveals that after five decades of inexorable increase, the number of armed conflicts started to fall worldwide in the early 1990s. By 2003, there were 40 percent fewer conflicts than in 1992. The deadliest conflicts - those with 1,000 or more battle deaths - fell by 80 percent. Cases of mass slaughter of civilians also dropped by 80 percent, while core human rights abuses have declined in five out of six regions of the developing world since the mid-1990s.' back |
