Constructive efforts

Month, Day: 168, Beauty, Splendour (Majesty)

Being inspired by the brights (one in particular) can be good, if it motivates constructive (ala the proof type) methods that can be tested. Yet, is that not how science already works (or is supposed to work)?

Yes, but as the particular one (to be identified, in time) likes to point out, any who are under the delusion of God are hallucinating. Of course, that response is a broad brush-off of what is a real set of experiences. This is to be discussed further.

As well, the particular one is a figment of my imagination, just as what he perceives are to him similar figments. Notice, this is not the same as saying that he does not exist outside of my perception of him.

Rather, the whole framework needs some (not, necessarily as major as one might think) adjustment in order to allow into scrutiny a whole slew of phenomena that are now waved off (somewhat defensively by the brights, definitely accompanied by much more protestation than is reasonably (ah! one topic, from whence this?) necessary).

So, this little ground post indicates a small start. However, the theme will have priority henceforth and until otherwise noted.

Remarks:

07/25/2011 -- The choice: 'Tis or 'Tisn't.

06/02/2011 -- Construction II.

05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.

05/14/2011 -- A slow start.

05/09/2011 -- We need a re-look at Pascal's thoughts.

05/02/2011 -- One of the brights.

Easter during Ridvan

Month, Day: 168, Glory, Sovereignty (Perfection)

The overlap with this Christian event happens from time to time and raises interesting questions. For now, let's leave it be with a couple of quotes, in the context of the brights.

Bible (Luke 23:42, 43): And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Iqan (pg 214): He should forgive the sinful, and never despise his low estate, for none knoweth what his own end shall be. How often hath a sinner, at the hour of death, attained to the essence of faith, and, quaffing the immortal draught, hath taken his flight unto the celestial Concourse.

Remarks:

05/17/2011 -- Stephen gets press.

05/09/2011 -- We need a constructive re-look.

All Names

Month, Day: 168, Glory, Will (Grace)

We're in the time of the new energy, the yearly measure. Do we have to budget this?

Approaching is Riḍván, the twelve-day festival that ought to have a slew of information for science and knowledge. How can we set the stage for this type of study, beyond audacity? All Names Manifest was one effect from this period in the spring of 1863.

---

Of course, learning what we need to know from the Manifestation is Key (twin duties).

---

The Cow: Assuredly in the creation of the Heavens and of the Earth; and in the alternation of night and day; and in the ships which pass through the sea with what is useful to man; and in the rain which God sendeth down from Heaven, giving life by it to the earth after its death, and by scattering over it all kinds of cattle; and in the change of the winds, and in the clouds that are made to do service between the Heaven and the Earth;--are signs for those who understand.

---

Nothing delusional, at all.

Remarks:

08/31/2012 -- Names, Knowledge, Independence.

Stinting

Month, Day: 168, Glory, Words (Independence)
Month, Day: 168, Glory, Might (Perfection)

We will be using the Rodwell Index this year, as we look for scientific contexts within the Writings. If these can be found in the Koran, they'll be in later Revelation, too.

Isn't that one of the notions behind the Hidden Words?

In terms of the zero-sum, Sura 83 says a lot. And, we know that selfish actions on the part of all leads to chaotic messes.

The IEEE Spectrum has an article that talks game theory in an accessible manner. The example starts with the failure of Steve Jobs' demo of the new IPhone, last year, which was attributable to the many mobile hot-spots that were collected in the room.

Essentially, selfish action is expected, rationally. Well, we know the limits of reason (SAQ #83).

---

In the history of mathematics, as it unfolded in the 20th century, we can see the growing emphasis on foundations and on effects. To wit, game theory preceded, and, perhaps, led to general systems theory. Is not measure theory, and one realization, central to technology's expansive cover (of ourselves and our lives)?

---

A focus that we can take, in part? Realization of God's System (core concept) operationally.

The Groups

Month, Day: 168, Splendour, Honour (Justice)

Since we're in the first month of the first Group, it seemed time to collect things about the Groups (four of four months each, with one of three months - which would be four if the Intercalary period was added).
Within each month, there is a recurrence with a square day.

Aside: these groups are one of many types but are operationally effective, in a sense; however, the cleaving not done by the sword.

Remarks:

03/11/2020 -- Still doing Groups (patterns).
