A Conjecture On An Alternative Reason For Why Is Light Bent Around Massive Objects

[Post Change Note:

Well... I certainly had to come back and make some changes here, didn't I.

Let us start:

1: I no longer feel the need to leave this conjecture in the "Really Tentative" category. As such I have removed that from the title.

2: I have also slightly changed the first sentence of the post.

3: Changing paragraph five below. I really screwed the light thing up here. Light can't be the pure, repelly thing one moment, and then something that can't escape the next, inside a black hole. Whoops. My bad.

I am changing the sentence fragment: "because not even light can escape precisely because of the mass being so attractive." to the following: "because no information can be imparted any longer in our direct experience of "Physical Meaning Space;" which is our base point when you think of scales of consideration."

J.V.]

We all know the usual reason why light bends, of course, if we take the view of General Relativity. Spacetime is curved by massive objects. So obviously light must follow the bends -- so to speak, as other, less massive objects must, in their own way.

What if gravity, though, weren't depressing anything. What if gravity was merely another elemental effect like magnetic North, and South; in essence being another "field effect" process, subject to the similar kinds of field effect equations. And within that case, the elemental effect intended then being the need of meaningful things to be attracted to other meaningful things.

The problem there, though, is that you then need to come up with another way to explain why light does what it does. So what is a budding Cosmologist to do?

Well... How about this: What if you took the view that gravity works in an opposite fashion to magnetism, in that its elemental effect says to be attracted to other meaningful things, but to avoid those that aren't yet meaningful, whereas magnetism says that opposite orientations attract, and like orientations repel. Light though, as McLuhan used to say, is pure information. There is no set meaning in it until is manipulated, either as photons, or as wave forms, so as to impart information into it. And of course, happy to say, how else could it be manipulated, meaningfully, if not by a meaning processor, of some sort.

But then we have to also face the problem of what a Black Hole is, even though it is not a hole at all, and only appears black because no information can be imparted any longer in our direct experience of "Physical Meaning Space;" which is our base point when you think of scales of consideration.

Could all of the observed effects of a mass singularity be because of the time dilation effects? As in things are happening at such an increased differential between inside the portal, and outside, that proper state change in local space time cannot be properly interpreted because new changes occur inside before the last changes have been fully realized creating state change interference patterns

And we have the time differential because more closely packed, meaningful interactions, create their own, localized set of overlapping quantum entanglements, with everything locally interacting with everything locally, as vastly integrated, complex systems will do; creating a kind of internally cascading effect of imploding iteration sets.

So let's review. Mass is structure: Things that have come together because there can be no meaning between isolated, individual, primitive bits, without the juxtaposition of elements, across a gap that has to be bridged (remember, the "Elemental Embrace" demands that that things come together, and exchange), by the very fact of the energy created by the shared connection; the connection itself creating the gap penetrating channel for which the interlink then stays entangled.

More structure automatically entails more meaning, even if it is only the most basic meaning of friction itself, or the inherent imperfection of all systems in generating waste energy; that then channels itself out as various forms of light; which of itself is meaningful only as a indication of a point source of origin. of a particular type. Meaningful modulation of light, over time, cannot happen merely by random experience association. You must first have a meaning processor do experience association itself so that it can create, and hold on to, Mind meaning space, and Body meaning space, constructs, to create the "objectifications" necessary so that information can then be created, and passed, by experience informed choice.

I know this might be a real stretch (not to bend too much of your credibility space time), but what do you think anyway?

[Post Note: If you do not have to worry about gravity curving spacetime, couldn't you then just have everything be of, and about, quantum foam, but just organized, and realized, along different vectors of experience association? By different singular groups of  many different meaning processors? Certainly something intriguing to think about, though, isn't it? J.V.]

Do Instincts Travel Over Time By DNA Alone?

In thinking about information transfer, especially of the nature demonstrated by viruses transfering info by plasmids, why would thinking about how animals get behavioral traits transferred by something more than just genetic info, be so unusual?

Couldn't certain behaviors, as animals get more behaviorally complex (having the abilities to do more and more decision based interaction with their environment), get transferred, more and more, by some simpler form of "savant?" Wouldn't that give a special place for "Body Meaning Space" for all more behaviorally complex animals? And then take some of the information transfer limitations of chemically stored "instincts," off of genetics?

I ask this because it has always seemed something of a stretch for me to say that very complicated, muscle memory sequences, tied to specific environmental contingencies, and the best decisions to make in those contingencies; that this could be conveyed entirely by DNA. Not to say that a lot couldn't be transferred by DNA, mind you, but only to suggest that, the more and more you go up the figurative ladder of complexity to full sentience, the more relying on DNA to do all of the carrying capacity here becomes quite problematic.

What do you think?

What if the Placebo Effect Isn’t a Trick

[Post Note: At the very least, this kind of evidence ought to suggest that the power of belief in meaning processors is a good deal more tangible than the Rationalists would have us acknowledge; especially as it relates to our role in the duality of energy, and the whole notion of what the limits might be as also relates to causality without physical instrumentality; unless of course you think of language, and from that ideas, as something that is more than just mind meaning space, or body meaning space, abstracts (each with their own sets of codics with which to set forth experience associations into something that can be held onto over space and time, as well as grasped in the immediate moment). J.V.]

Believing without evidence is always morally wrong

[Post Note: I understand what is intended here. It is certainly a worthwhile notion that you should have some semblance of actual information that, collected together, forms a cogent, representation of an actual, existential contingency, for which you are trying to state a fundamental relationship for. That being said, however, doesn't let you state something this important in such a, what is in my opinion, sweeping way; with, in effect, so little wiggle room, so to speak.

And the main problem here is that what a statement like this does is only to beg the question as to what constitutes "evidence" in the first place; because, too often in the past, "evidence" could only be that which is "objective;" or put more succinctly, that which is Mind Meaning Space rational only.

As such, one could ask the question: Am I being immoral if I believe in the power of Love (or even just in the power of thinking positively)? Is the subjective evidence of love enough for our philosopher here? Do we really need to worry about the fool's errand of  trying to measure what happens when I hold somebody I love meaningfully, with all of the connection inherent in that act? Simply to know that it has the right be be evidence at all? I certainly hope not.

By the same token, though, going too far into the subjective can get you into just as much trouble as going too far into the rational can. So I would like to think that what is actually being intended here gets taken care of if one simply follows a path of balance; listening to the truth from both sides of each contentious clash of opposites; the most prominent, certainly being that between the basic, figurative notions of "Father Fortress," and "Mother Earth." Listening to both sides and then being willing to do the hard negotiations to work out a compromise interpretation that utilizes as much of both as is appropriate for a given situation. J.V.]

One Way To Attack Mutually Exclusive "Echo Chambers"

Somebody may have already suggested this, and if that is so it would be most encouraging. I haven't seen anything on it yet, but no matter how hard you try, you can only ever get the smallest of samplings, of what is going on in the infosphere, so it's only ever luck that gets you into the right developments, at the right time (if you can't be good, at least be lucky; something that has kept me alive I can assure you). I say that because I hope this can actually happen, and we'll need all the push we can get on it.

In any case, though, one of the main powers of Facebook is that, if you leave it, and others you know do not, you will continue to get email updates from them that you cannot respond to (I know, there's probably a way, difficult though it may be, to finally, and ultimately, rid yourself of all connection to Facebook, but it is hard letting go of at least hearing from your still Zombified friends; who refuse to see the light, and leave that horrible place; just like so many won't leave Twitter -- the two vying for most horrible).

So. What is a concerned citizen to do? Well, how about this approach. Pass a law that says that ostensibly public places, even if for a commercialized service, must allow for people outside to be able to send messages into those still ensconced, and vice versa. As in my being able to send a ordinary email response back to an old friend, if Facebook sends me an email update without any solicitation on my part.

After all, when a friend goes into a Starbucks, and you are sitting in a restaurant, or at home, conducting a meal process, you shouldn't have any concern whatsoever as to not being able to respond to a text message from a Starbucks app, (or maybe the Amazon/Whole Foods app for something similar) that your friend has installed, saying he's in there for whatever (the one that gives him some BS little extra bonus on his next "free" whatever), and you should join him (and thus indicate your displeasure at such a dumb, unnecessary communication, just for a freebie). Any more than when I'm working here at home, and I get a message from Facebook, from a former friend, I should worry about responding with my (domain provider) email website link. But of course, with the way we let these people dominate us, you must now absolutely have that concern.

Is there any wonder why so many get so trapped in these "evil precisely because they are so clever" manipulations of our need to socialize in the first place? Is there any further need to understand why you should be questioning the fact that you bent over so conveniently for them in the first place, by letting another one of our most important aspects, of being social animals, be commoditized to such a horrible degree?

And then the power goes to their heads and it is off to the races to see which one of them will screw everyone, and everything else, over, in the process to dominate (not that having them cooperate with each other is all that much better either, though).

But now the question becomes: Will any legislation, that changes anything substantially, as to say affecting one monetary power, or another, ever be allowed to pass again? Will any clear majority ever be able to establish itself again? Will there be so many competing entities, of money powered intent, both inside, and outside, of our economy, and national boundaries, that all of the manipulative messages will just end up creating a last, great shriek of agony, within the fabric of this reality itself, and then the whole thing just implode, in one last act of absolute, insane, absurdity realized. Only maybe this singular act of negation won't yield anything, afterwards, but complete eraser. Because maybe that would be the only way left for the entirety to express ultimate revulsion.

aren't all that necessarily, directly connected, to the "Echo Chamber" topic, but I am including them because "Big" in business usually means doing things to a particular "Game Plan" that has a tendency to blot out all other message contenders as to what is actually going on, and of course, they hope that the media will just play along and be an "Echo Chamber" by default; which sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. Unfortunately, as concentration of media continues, the "sometimes they do" part can start to get pretty thin, so I like to keep the contrasts coming. J.V.]

Amazon Is Kicking All Unauthorized Apple Refurbishers Off Amazon Marketplace

I Was There For This Debacle

I was one of the 8,000 removed from a job when they pulled the plug from the Mobile Group. I worked for Nytech, via their temping services, that had a lot folks working there (they had an office, in fact, just a few blocks up the street from Studio A, where I worked on the top floor).

Interesting side note though. I always thought it would never happen. My being hired to work for these people. Especially when, years previous, I vowed I would never work for the "Evil Borg Empire" (as in those who innovate little, but absorb others greatly).

At the time, though, Kathleen and I were pretty hard up. She was not yet old enough for pension eligibility, or SSI income,  and I still did not have enough "SSI points" either. She couldn't work because of her back problems, and medication issues because of her Epilepsi. I was having more difficulty getting work because I was finally starting to show my age; not helped by the fact that I also become quite fed up with still coloring my hair; which I did for quite awhile in the bizz to not at least seem old.

I can't remember if Nytech called me up, or if I just saw the listing and sent in a resume, but they did get back to me saying that Microsoft was interested in an interview. This had to be back in either late 2012, or early 2013, or late 2013, and early 2014, I don't recall exactly (though I did work over a year for them in total), but being made economically desperate, I swallowed my pride, did some interview cramming (for all of the dumb, usual programming tests they like to give you, as well as the current buzzwords you always needed, to at least sound like you knew what you were talking about), and then went in for the full eight hour ordeal.

It was with two different electrical, and signals engineers. Each had about four hours with me to go over technical competency, and design philosophy. but also this big picture of how much of a critical application this was going to be because, and they both emphasized this: they were just generating tons of test data, from a host of clever new mobile designs, that would need a true enterprise capable reporting system for all stakeholders to be able access, from anywhere. And on top of that, they had one very demanding kind of report spec, needing to be delivered; one that demand doing T-SQL pivots on a very wide range of devices, within a huge range of testing regimens; all on a troyka of new, automated, and very, very expensive, testing machines housed in the higher security lab, of the also higher security Mobile Group (above ordinary Microsoft Employees) area that occupied most of the top floor of Studio A. All of which meant a Windows Communications Foundation app that could do dynamic T-SQL pivots on the fly, from a very flexible database, set up to handle changing expansion.

Oddly enough, I had been wanting to do an ultimate, very thin client, enterprise master control app, for quite a while, but could find no client willing to take the project on. I wanted to do that because of my previous frustration with doing something very similar, years before, for Providence, and Swedish hospitals, for their partnership, Health Services Northwest, only then, I had to do it with With Windows DCOM, and not with WCF because they hadn't invented it yet. I got the DCOM thing to work for H.S.N., but only with great frustration, and dogged effort. This new opportunity was like getting a blank slate from design heaven. These guys just gave me an empty server box and told ne to have at doing whatever I thought would work. And boy did I. I wrote the "Starfire Application" for Microsoft, which I can say, with no modesty at all, was something quite awesome. Because it did everything they wanted it to do, and then some. For any enterprise application, let alone a reporting one.

The thing was, there wasn't any real testing data. Never had been, and never was going to be. They were in fact, in my opinion, trying to set me up as their "old guy who couldn't possibly get this done," in any time soon, in any case, "patsy". A dodge, if you will, to blow smoke up the butts of higher ups, so as to explain why they had no reporting data coming out from all op the effort that had been expended to date so far. And that was because the entire Mobile Group, at least as it was manifested by Studio A, was without any sense of real vision, or effective leadership. An operation best described as rudderless, directionless, and with no effective, clear, leadership at all. Something that finally became obvious to me after the fourth or fifth month of them making excuses as to why they couldn't get me security clearance to go into the real inner sanctum of the Mobile Group (once I was in, the joke, amongst Nytech employees was that the security wasn't to keep secrets in, but to keep the level of abject failure secret from getting out). And it was only their great shock at my making the damn thing work within about six months, and the need for more than the token, test data, that they had originally put together to create at least something for me to base my design on, and maybe even embarrassment, that made them finally give me clearance. And I do mean shock, and comically so, when the guy I had the most contact with saw the Excel Workbook get created, with not only the pivot displayed properly, but with embedded VBA code providing hot key functionality to do detail data queries of whatever row of aggregated test data a user might want to see, and then have that delivered to a new page in the report Workbook.

As anyone who has tempted for Microsoft knows, they aren't usually very nice about cutting the cord. You inevitably lose personal stuff, and it just happens, often, out of the blue, as it were. I get some satisfaction, though, in remembering that the software I wrote for them was worth way more than any phone design they had been trying to contemplate... Ok, mostly because my app worked, and they didn't have much of anything that was working, all that well, but still, it was a good piece of software; something that might have been useful who know where else in the company. The thing is, though, they undoubtedly trashed that too when they closed my server down (because why would they want to keep anything given to them from a mere temp guy). What a waste. Of my time, and theirs.

That experience turned out to be the final straw that broke my ability to withstand the BS of Capitalism. The whole not "living the change that you wish to see in the world" was bothering me a lot as well, but you get way too used to the toys, and status, the money brings, don't you. Maybe the two emotions together was what was enough to finally get me on the path I am on now.

Dedicating This Post To The Women At Google Who Are Shaking The Tree

And to hoping women everywhere will join in. Together we can celebrate some very powerful women from the past who have done the same thing.

Women are the vessel of creative power (and remember guys, we have it in us whether we have a inny, or an outie, as our identity). Own it. Use it.

The path of balance requires that we honor both (however you want to think about how they reside in you) the Great Father, and the Great Mother. There are times, however, when you just have to give the Great Father aspect a good slap in the face (especially when it has become so transfixed by the dark power of greed, which itself has become the essence of electrified Capitalism), to remind it that life is supposed to be a partnership; otherwise how would symbiotic relationships have ever started in the first place (like the mitochondria in your cells that make you possible), let alone how we are absolutely not going to survive as a species without it.

Do You Suppose This Might Have Been What Hari Seldon Really Had In Mind With the Science "Psychohistory" In The "Foundation" Series Of Sci Fi books?

If Fast Fourier Transforms are to wave (cycle variant points of measurement, over time) data what Tensors are to vectorized inertia (representing singular points of relativistic mass, where the method of acceleration might matter more than we realize -- not to mention what was accelerated) data, then I have this deep feeling that the following might be true:

These two have to work together somehow in another form of combined, higher level, matrix mathematics, that also incorporates special conditionals, to vary the matrix in more dynamically appropriate ways; all so that it can better account for the ever changing, ever re entangling, expression of meaning in the on going "now." Knowing that what the Sentient in a reality does, and how it does it, goes into changing both the Sentient, and the reality around them, thus always creating new probability sets for all of the pertinent variables.

Maybe they are already doing this (and for more than just "Psychohistory"), out there in smarty pants land; fictional, multiverse, or otherwise. Maybe that's why I can feel the echo of it all... So very deeply, even if I don't fully understand all of the details. But that's a systems guy for you. Understand the black boxes as best you can and hope the relationships, and how you've connected them, hold true.

Whatever the answer might be, it is still a fun thing to consider. And fairly informative to boot. What a deal at only the cost of reading, and thinking.

What a guy, right? And oh so humble as well.

The Same Thing That Is Killing The Planet

A mutated, toxic, and hopelessly outdated, economic system, that demands sole authority over value, and meaning, for most things and, at the same time, takes the ability of working people to decide what is meaningful, and valuable, or not, out of their hands altogether.

And in this currently, men in general, but white men in particular, are also suffering from not being able to connect to their full emotional identity, because, in my opinion, we have made the feminine aspect of ourselves, which is profound, to be always untrustworthy; something that started a long time ago, and for which humanity has paid a terrible price for, over quite a few centuries now. This disconnect, tied to the abstracting influence of Capitalism gone mad, has created the kind of personality that allows someone to want, and do, to the exclusion of all other moral, or healthy systems, considerations, other than that one person's own sense of self entitlement.

So not only is this the age of "The Absurdity Of Growing Up" (because the selfish few want impulsive, easily manipulated children), to have as their traditional cannon fodder (because wars are so profitable), it is also the age of "The New Economic Cannon Fodder"; the type where you need disposable workers as an economic check against the purveyors of automation, to prevent them from having you by the balls for ways to make things you want.

And then there is still the pesky problem of who will buy the stupid shit you make, to keep the whole sick mess going. Another contradiction they haven't quite worked out yet, but maybe the robots could do that as well. Who knows. Right? More importantly, though, who really wants to know if that horrible conclusion could actually work, let alone actually having to live the horror to find out.
