Uniting the quantum, classical and living realms.

A phase transition is when a system resides at
the critical point between it's static and chaotic
attractors. Such as a cloud residing at the critical
point between water and air.

To create a Grand Unified Theory we must
find a way to unite all the realms of the universe
into one model of understanding. Uniting the four forces
is not the answer if for no other reason that life, emotions
or ideas would not be explained.

We must unite the realms of quantum motion, classical
motion and Darwinian evolution into one seamless view
explainable within one frame of reference and mathematics.

We must unite Heisenberg, Darwin.and Einstein!

This can be done by replacing a model that examines
the specific details of objects such as matter, light
and life, with a model that uses the ...behavior of
these realms at their phase transitions.
As matter, light and life all experience this behavior.
Which is when they stand poised at the boundary
between it's static and chaotic tendencies or forms.

For example. In a system comprising matter, light
and energy;  matter would reside in the static
attractor basin, while energy defines the opposite extreme
in possibility, the chaotic attractor. When those two are at the
boundary or critical point between each other, when one
can't tell if it's matter or energy....particle or wave...then
light is generated. Light would fill the dynamic attractor
that results from the critical interaction between static and
chaotic states. Much as a cloud is the dynamic attractor that
results from the critical interaction of water and air.

Another example. In a system comprising gravity, classical
motion and cosmic expansion; gravity would reside in the
static attractor basin, while cosmic expansion would
defines the chaotic attractor. When those two are at the
boundary between each other, when one can't tell
if it's contracting or expanding...matter or energy....then
the dynamic attractor of classical motion or inertia
is generated.

These two examples provide the smallest and largest
scale phase transition states in the universe.

They dynamic attractors formed from these two endpoints are
light and motion.

If light and motion form the basis of a new system, where
they respectively fill static and chaotic attractors, what dynamic
attractor would form out of a phase transition between them?

The dynamic attractor of self-organization or evolution occurs
at the phase transition between light and motion.

Darwinian evolution!

One model can explain the quantum and classical endpoints
in possible motion, while also defining the cause of Darwinian
evolution.  Nothing in the universe is left out.

Heisenberg, Darwin and Einstein merged!

Does observation support this theory?
Does the earth stand poised at the transition point, or
the ideal balance, between light and motion?
This balance is confirmed by the conditions on Venus
and Mars, each testing the limits of this balance.

Does earth define an ideal living potential, and provide the
best examples of Darwinian evolution?

Of course it does.

A direct mathematical relationship between quantum
mechanics, biological evolution and classical motion
now exists.

(Gee, two 's's this time...)  (What's going on?)

Look Jonathon, ..that's all very well, waxing lyrical and quoting that
dead doxy of yours (again).  Mind you, she's got a far better handle on
what it's all about than this mob of 'real scientists' who, whilst they
recognise the first-order deformation of the planet's shape from the
spherical, can't even begin to see the connection with its geological
history, even when it's pointed out to them.

So you've got no chance mate.  They're as dumb as the proverbial.
They've got their collective heads buried that deep in the mantle, they
can't even see what they're standing on.   And don't wanbt to either.

Here you go!  what are the exact contents of einstein oil?

Can anybody answer that question correctly?

After your finished contemplating the answers to those two
questions this ponder on this for a while and reply.

Electromagnetic flux is what the extraterrestrial UFOs use for
navigation, armor, propagation and stealth. The strength of
electromagnetic field used is so high that scientists wondered what was
the technology behind such endless and high intensity electromagnetic
force fields in these space modules.

Now scientists are getting early indication of what is behind these
advanced alien ships in obtaining the electromagnetic force fields. The
Physical Universe is connected with the underlying Hyperspace by some
sparsely distributed particle size small windows called Fermions. These
Fermions literally connect our universe with the 5-D Hyperspace.

The suction from the Hyperspace through the Fermions create the gravity
and the electromagnetic force fields. The Fermions exist in 5-D and
hence are virtual in 3-D space of our physical Universe. These Fermions
are the opening to the Hyperspace from the 3-D space of our Physical
Universe. The extraterrestrial UFOs can easily detect these Fermions
since the alien space ships are also real in 5-D Hyperspace and virtual
in 3-D space. They use the Fermions to tap the suction from the
Hyperspace and divert the electromagnetic force fields towards its
propagation, navigation, stealth and armor engines.

This really provides the extraterrestrial UFOs the endless source of
electromagnetic force fields of immense intensity. Some space agencies
have tried using super-cooled superconductors to create the
electromagnetic force fields but got baffled at the result. Now it is
clear to the scientists that the main source of electromagnetic energy
is not the superconductor but the Fermions that overlap the Physical
Universe and Hyperspace and connect the two through billions and
billions of microscopic openings.

The extraterrestrial flight patterns show that the UFOs maintain steady
flight navigation and propagation. They can accelerate and decelerate
in a manner as if an endless electric motor with source energy supply
is connected to them. What really happens is that the Fermions are
distributed all over the Universe in trillions and the UFOs can connect
to them all the time.

The mechanism works like cell phone or mobile phone technologies. One
set of Fermions hand over the control to next set of Fermions as the
UFO propagate and navigate forward in a 3-D space of the physical
universe. In remote areas, cell phone companies install something
called micro cells that act as relay mechanism. The extraterrestrial
UFOs install artificial Fermions in areas where natural Fermions are
not available. This provides the UFOs the propagation and navigation in
remote areas like under earths crust and so on.

I'm falling in love with Fermions.

A darn ham-fisted technology, if you ask me.  What you really want to
zip around the universe in is an Infinite Improbability drive, powered
by a good source of brownian motion -- say, a nice hot cup of tea.

It's perfecly plain to me.  'Science' is when you use it to do
something clever.  'Technology' is when it uses you to do something
stupid.  There are many examples of this.  My favourite of the second
one is the red traffic lights at 3am on a Sunday morning.  And my
favourite first is the policeman lurking behind the dunny to catch me
when I scoot through them because according to all norms of rationale
they shouldn't be there.  It's like laws in general are for idiots,
namely themascant do the right thing at the right time, for whom we all
must wallow in the sh.t of that Consensus GEEZER - the Common
Denominator.  But if we're clever about it we have to have them, in
case somebody does something stupid like uses their initiative to do
something clever.

See?  There's good oil (and bad oil) ...and Einstein oil.  And the
answer to the second was yes.  I just did.

Using it for both propagation and stealth seems problematic. To be
stealthy, the flux would have to be confined, which prevents it from
generating any net force.

Why would aliens want to travel here, or any distant place?

Such technology requires a deep understanding of reality.
That understanding would provide all the answers
such travel would be designed to discover.
It's a catch-22~

They would watch from afar instead.
And I'm certain they are!

Dreams of traveling to distant stars are for those that
have yet to discover the true simplicity of the universe.
Like us for instance. Someday our understanding of
the natural world will rise to the level where collecting proof
and evidence are no longer needed.

The universe, the answers to the big questions, are
discovered by looking within.

Ya know, most won't even consider an idea unless it has
attached to it a well-titled name, and lots of charts, graphs
and incomprehensible strings of equations.

Then it's 'science'. Their faith in scientific authority is
so deep that the notion of thinking for yourself is
considered kookish.

I've 'ciphered this out. The only way to convince others
is through demonstrations.   I've decided the real world system
I'll use as a demonstration will be the stock market. Why?
Because it's the very easiest discipline for this as all the
data is already collected nice and neat on 2d charts.
Plus, the internet has created very natural behavior in the
markets, and it's easy to post predictions in advance
that anyone can easily verify. Even play along with once
they learn to trust the predictions.

And because I'll make lots of dough in the process~

A couple of months or so I'll be ready to quit my job
and give full time trading a go. I expect to be able
to do 20% a week, every week, like clockwork.

The trading system already has tested out that well. Even
And while trading when busy at work with only an internet
cell phone and tiny little bitty charts to work with.

I know I can do it, and I'll brag no end. Then, and only
then, well anyone take a serious look.

Nope.  That's even worse.  That's when they really begin to get
stroppy.  You have to let them 'think' it for themselves.  Give them
permission.  Allow them.  They're like children, who have lost the
essential child-like faculty of hope and wonder.  They're **BLOODY
DALEKS**.  That's what they're evolved into.  ...what 'science' does to
them.  This is why they want to go to MARS.

And if I posted the chapters would anyone read it?
All you have to do is ask for the math on any given
point I make, And I'll point you to appropriate links.
But again, you wouldn't, few would, do the homework.
So I spend quite a bit of effort to put it in essay form so
it has a chance of being read. And it's good practice for
me to try in any event.

For chrissakes I posted a claim on the theory of everything.
If it's nonsense it should be simple, easy and trivial for
you or others to point out the flaws in some detail.

You'd think~

I can defend every word in that post, and most others for
that matter. I mean if you can't poke a gaping hole
in a claim of that magnitude, you'd think that would raise
some curiosity.

Umm, I don't want your links to other peoples' math.  You say that the math
is incomprehensible.  Show us why the math is incomprehensible to you, the
mathematician, and then show us the 'correct' way it should be done.

You should know that the detailed math comes into
play when /applying/ it. You've been taught all your
scientific life that the test of scientific truth will
be in it's simplicity and elegance. If the underlying
concepts cannot be spoken plainly, they FAIL:L
that ultimate test. In 'fact' if the concepts are not
spoken in poetic terms, then the author is simply
too ...lazy... to match substance with form.

So you want me to post hundreds of pages of mathematics?
When instead you could say, 'splain this one point please' instead.
Incredible!

OK, I'll post some of it. I've read all this and understand a fair
portion of it, when you've done the same let me know.

Apparently, you are illiterate as well, since you can't read directions.  I
don't want links to other people's work.  You claim to be a mathematician.
If so, you know that math instructors in college require that you show your
work.  professional publications also require you to show your work. Most
of us here are scientists, Johnny.  Show us your work, right here and now,
not in links to the work of others.  If you cannot do this, I have no
choice but to decide that you are lying, and don't actually know how to do
the "incomprehensible" math.

What 'work' would you be referring to?

All my 'work' is posted, every bit of it. That's all there is.

All I've been doing from day one is relating established concepts
in my own way, then running with them as far as I can.
Virtually all of it is established science. It's just new to you, so
you expect me to claim I've discovered all these concepts.
I've never once said that. However, I regularly attach
added significance to these well-known scientific
relationships. I'm juggling established concepts.

If you can't dispute any of the assumptions or arguments
I put forth, then those conclusions hold.

WHERE do you think I'm wrong? If you can't
answer that, then claiming it's nonsense is an
act of ignorance.

You just don't get this new kind of non-linear sciences.
They operate from an inverse frame of reference from
classical. Which means the 'work' you wish to see comes
at the end, when applied, not at the beginning. I've only
applied these concepts once, which is the stock trading
strategy I posted. There you'll find precise equations
that are completely unique and all mine. With precise
hypothesis presented and some experimental evidence in the
form of stock price prediction. But if you like, I'll start up
predicting stock behavior in advance so you can check
the data yourself.  But only if you become rational.

George, I just kill you in every one of these exchanges.
Are you a masochist~

It's what I recognise as "the interface pheonomenon", or it could be
called a scale problem - the scale at which certain laws of
cause-and-effect cease to operate and another set of rules takes over.
For example (getting geological in a simple sort of way) does the crust
*sit on* the mantle, or *float in*  it?  And then what do we do,
really, with the ideas of isostacy when uplift creates erosion, but
erosion creates uplift?

In trying to understand this business of 'floatation' of the crust I
think along simple lines like, "How big does an iron meteorite (say)
have to be before it sinks through the crust instead of just sitting on
top of it?"    We're talking density after all, are we not?  Under such
circumstances the fall-back position, that "it's just a working
hypothesis" is worse than no position, because it obstructs
investigation and promotes fear in those with the intellectual capacity
to address the question(s).  Why should they go out on a risky limb
when there are no credits for doing so, and there are benefits in being
a clever sheep in a dumb flock?

(And the biggie - mass and electricity.)

Questions of hierarchy of scale of cause and effect.  They never seem
to be properly addressed.  In trying to understand geological history
for example, and recognising first-order deformation of the Earth is
the deviation from the spherical (thus implicating rotation - which is
with us every day) how is it there is no attempt from geologists or
geophysicists to recognise this for the second and third-order scale
structures?  And even when the supporting evidence for it is crudely
suggested, ...well, we'd get more response from a lump of wet putty
(over geological time).

Even this simple question of mountains and what makes them, and how so
many people (particularly those in charge of the physics and the
numbers) can go along with the nonsense that they are caused by
orogenesis, when the simplest of observations of landforms militates
against it.  How is it those with their fingers on the numbers buttons
can have such a deficit in the department of sense of proportion and
scale?  And how is it there is such a reluctance to hold consensus to
account, when it promotes obvious nonsense?

That's what I find weird.   But I would like to think that we're at
"the critical point between the static and the chaotic" in addressing
it. There seems to be a very definite dearth of voice here in support
of plate tectonics, compared, say, to a year or so ago.  Stuart's
dropped his moniker and George is just "excuse me" cutting-and-pasting.

Your question seems to be "what causes a mountain" and
"what methods or sciences should be applied to finding
the answer".  Since this is part of a thread where I
claim any question can be answered by one theory
let's see if I can answer these questions using this unified
theory. While barely knowing a thing about geology aside
from how it's spelled.

You seem to want to answer that question in classical
reductionist terms, which would be what variables
are involved in mountain creation.

Complexity science does the opposite. It looks
at the output first in order to understand the
components.

The first thing I would do is ask the following question.
What are the two opposite extremes in possibility
for a typical mountain?   What are the static and chaotic
realms?  Which takes the form of convergent and divergent
paths in mountain building. Analogous to a cloud returning to
either its liquid or gaseous forms. In this case I suppose the two
opposite extremes are respectively motion/plate movement,
and light/heat.

If a mountain has the tendency to quickly /converge/
to a static or simple state, to simple motion, then the science
one would apply would be that suitable for
static realms.  Particle physics, or the methods
of geology that deal in simple large scale mechanics.

If a mountain tends to quickly /diverge/ to a chaotic
form, to randomly fill the available space, then the science
needed would be that which is appropriate to
the chaotic realm. Quantum or statistical mechanics, or
appropriate geological methods for random diffusive systems.

However, even a complete novice like me, knows that
many mountains have a strong tendency to be /persistent/.
Persistently between it's own extremes in possibility.
Armed with only that very limited observation, I can
deduce that neither of the above types of geological methods
will be able to provide a complete or satisfactory answer
to every type of mountain, only the simplest types.

Because a system that is persistently poised at the
threshold between subcritcal and supercritical
behavior, diverging or converging paths, is modeled by a
power law distribution of events. Like an earthquake, a
few very large ones followed by countless little ones.
See here please.
http://www.calresco.org/sos/sosfaq.htm#3.6

Which also, and this is no small point, is the behavior that
extinction and speciation follow....life!

So you're not going to find the answer through standard
geological methods if the object of study follows a power
law distribution of events. The reason is simple, such
a self organized system is comprised of components
that are at the edge. That are intractably entangled with
each other. In short, the /components/ of a system displaying
power law behavior act chaotically. So looking at them in detail
does not help much!  It's like trying to decipher exactly when a
water molecule transitions to air and back again when
part of a cloud.  You'll go nuts~

Since some mountain building follows a power law, you cannot
understand that type by moving /down/ in scale to its parts. You have
to move ....up....in scale to understand self organized
systems.  You have to scale up to the next emergent
level When dealing with edge systems.

To decide which methods to use, the question
becomes what is the next emergent level of
organization above geology?

It is life.

So the science needed to understand complex mountains would
be derived from biology not geology. Sounds crazy eh?

In brief here is the mathematics, in abstract
form, for living systems.
http://www.calresco.org/sos/sosfaq.htm

Let's see if this approach helps define the way mountains are formed.
Since I've concluded that life explains the most complex mountains, then
my claim in the unified theory that......

       "The dynamic attractor of self-organization or evolution occurs
              at the phase transition between light and motion."

...holds for such complex mountains.

Let's see if I can reconstruct the basics, in a very abstract
form, of mountain building from this universal  law of organization.

            "As a phase transition between light and motion."

So, converting the abstract forms of light and motion
to this specific problem would.take the form of
light/energy and motion/momentum. Or between
heat and plate movement.

You tell me if this works.

There should be three broad categories of mountains.

The first two should reflect when either heat or motion dominates.
When the system is not at the transition between the two.

The third type should be when at the edge.

When the static attractor of motion dominates and heat is not a primary
factor, the results should reflect convergent or static, simple behavior.
Slow to form, predictable, long lived, and uniform.. Each component
of such a mountain would be strongly connected  to adjacent components.
It should behave as a solid as the component connectivity is very high.
The correspondence of its form to that of the earth would be
related to its level of motion. Low enough it would take the
form of the earth.

When the chaotic attractor of heat dominates, and motion is not
a primary variable, the results should reflect divergent or chaotic behavior.
Sudden formation, unpredictable and short lived.
It should behave as a gas, where the components have very low
connectivity to each other. The correspondence of its form to
that of the atmosphere would be related to its level of heat.
High enough it would take the form of a gas.

An edge state is when both heat and motion are at simultaneous maximums
without either dominating. This would be the most dynamic, volatile and
locally unpredictable.  But would have the unique property of being
predictable at large scales and follow power law or earthquake like
dynamics.  So such mountains should be the most common, the
youngest, largest and most rugged. With intermediate connectivity, where
each creation is unique and highly complex, yet self similar across scale.
Its correspondence in form would not be relative to either extreme of
earth or atmosphere. But to other power law systems. It's shape would
resemble, for instance, a lightning bolt. Jagged and energetic.

Let me know if these three broad and abstract categories
corresponds somewhat to your knowledge of mountain building.
If not /you/ should adjust accordingly until it does <g>

Nope, we're talking connectivity. To quote the above page
on self-organizing or evolving systems.....

5.7 How does connectivity affect landscape shape?

"In general the higher the connectivity the more rugged the landscape becomes.
Simply connected landscapes have a single peak, a change to one parameter
has little effect on the others."
http://www.calresco.org/sos/sosfaq.htm#5.7

They're talking about fitness landscapes, but it's much
the same thing, only at a higher level of complexity.
Which only means easier to see and understand.

Or in other words....
Low connectivity landscapes would be like resting
your meteor on a fluid, doesn't matter much how
dense it is. So the importance of the density
of the meteor decreases as the density of the
landscape goes towards very small or very large.

Right?

So you would have to brush up on thermodynamics
to derive a useful mathematical relationship to
answer your question. Not geology.

You now have the proper first step in answering
that question. And it is life/nature that shows the
way. As with all things.

In summary, the first question to ask for any given
question is whether that system displays convergent
divergent or persistent behavior./relative/ its own opposite
extremes in possibilities. This tells you whether your asking
about chaotic or static part behavior, or emergent system behavior.
Then apply the appropriate methods.  And /re-ask/ and
/re-apply/ each time the scale or perspective changes.
Each time you move up, down or across the causation ladder.

Static, dynamic or chaotic
Physics, thermodynamics or statistics

Einstein, Darwin or Heisenberg

For any given object, you may be applying
any one, or all of the three, of those realms of
science depending on the context. Whether you're
treating that given object as a part or a whole.

        Depending on the observer.

If the question were, how do planets form, then the very
same mountain would be a part, not an emergent feature.
So now the mountain is dealt with as chaotic or static, and the
planet as emergent. Which science is applied for any given
object depends on .....the observer....on the question.
NOT the object.

In any event, you continue scaling /up/ to understand
for an emergent feature, which are the most interesting kinds.
Finally to life and intelligence.  Where these universal
properties are most abundant and easiest to see.
For this paradigm holds for your own thoughts, so
mountain building can be deduced from the way in
which an idea forms.

As a phase transition between knowledge and dreams.

The static and chaotic. When in an unstable equilibrium
with each other, when both are at simultaneous maximums
without either dominating, the best ideas are formed.

And finally you'll conclude that the entire universe is understood
from searching within. Not 'counting' the world outside.

By emergent creations formed by a persistent and unstable
equilibrium between static and chaotic forms.

Nothing in the universe is left out by expanding to
understand, resulting in simplicity and the universal.
Reducing to understand leaves out all that is truly
meaningful, emergent creation, and results in confusion
and countless local explanations.

into two opposingly degenerate cases and something you explicitly claim

That's the whole point. The science you know uses
a frame of reference that entirely misses the most
important phenomena of all. Which are the self-tuning
system properties that emerge from complex adaptive
systems.  These system properties cannot be deduced from
a detailed examination of part properties, as is the
habit of science.

These system properties exist in far from equilibrium conditions
which your science goes out of the way to avoid. After all
only near equilibrium states are repeatable.

These self-tuning system properties have no tangible form, only
an effect on the whole. They cannot be tested or predicted
in a quantifiable way.

Yet these emergent system properties define our existence
and the real world. Whether with natural selection, market
forces or public opinion. And all these realms are considered
soft science by your methods. Where results are found
more by art than science.

The truth of our reality is that it's dominated by critical points.
Where linear or repeatable methods  fail.

>  That's the kind of "reasoning" that
> leads to religion and dogma.

It's the kind of reasoning that combines science and
religion into one method of understanding that is
consistent with both. This allows scientific reasoning
to be applied to philosophical questions...for the very
first time.

Science has depended on upward causation to form
our fundamental laws. It looks at small scale part details
to derive them. That is an error of enormous proportions
as the definitive emergent system properties cannot be seen
in this way.

Religion has depended on methods, revealed and scripture, that
are equally misguided.  But the frame of reference is correct.
Where fundamental laws are derived from downward causation.

Science has used the wrong frame of reference from day one
but the methods are sound.

Religion has used the wrong methods from day one but the
frame of reference is correct.

Complexity science discards the trash and combines
what's left over. It's about producing processes that
find the best answer all by themselves. And trusting
that the future results will be the best possible.
Instead of trying to force the future into existence
through flawed preconceptions.

> Your "complexity science" hasn't made any
> testable predictions that I can see.

And why is that a test of 'science'?  In reality, does the process
of natural selection allow the future to be precisely predicted?
No, of course not, a process is established that converges
on the best possible future through evolutionary means.

The entire point of the butterfly effect, of non-linear events, is
that the future cannot be predicted in a precise way.

Your science insists on precision, predictability and
repeatability if it's to be called 'science'. Yet NONE
of those properties exists anywhere in the universe.

I consider your methods to be Dark Age, as a result of
this glaring incongruity between method and reality.

>  Instead, you categorize things
> into two opposingly degenerate cases and something you explicitly claim
> to be unpredictable.

Unpredictable only in the components. Predictability and
repeatability only truly lie in the system output or properties.
Which is why it starts there.

If the system behavior, the output, generates self-tuning
as with a market or selection, then the parts are known
to be chaotic in character. In that a precise mapping from
input to output is not possible.

If the components are static or precisely definable, then
the system output will be chaotic.

That is a tenet of the new non-linear sciences.

What this means is that your methods work only in
aspects of reality that matter the least in terms of
deriving fundamental laws concerning order and life.
As the source of order, life  and intelligence resides where
component structure is NOT definable. Does not map
to the future.

The Great Mistake of modern science is in the notion
that our basic laws of the universe are to be derived
from the smallest scale part properties. From the
simplest or most predicable behavior found
in the universe. That notion is exactly and completely
wrong.

Our laws should be derived from the most complex
the universe has to offer, from life and intelligence.
That is what the chaos and complexity sciences
are in the midst of doing. Completely rewriting
all of our fundamental laws.

All of them!

> However highly you prize your hammer of chaos, the entire universe is
> still not a nail.

Not a nail, the entire universe can be seen in an emotion.

As a phase transition, or balance, between 'degenerate forms'
as you  call them. When the two system-specific opposite extremes
are intractably entangled. That is where the self-tuning properties
emerge that are the source of all order, evolution and life.
The one place where precision and repeatability fails.

The one place your science cannot see.

Your method looks for certainty in all things.

But until you accept the fact that the universe and life forms when
system component structure /uncertainty/ is at a maximum, your
certain methods will never see the true simplicity of the
universe, or find universal law.

Emergent systems are definitely part of the science I know.  The problem
with the way you're trying to apply the concept is that they invariably
involve components ("individuals") which interact with their environment
in specific ways.

Mountains don't do that; they are basically the *result* of
interactions, not actors in and of themselves.

That's not a description of science as I know it either.

Science doesn't 'deduce' system properties.  It measures things, models
things, and predicts things...and then measures again to test the
predictions.  It uses *inductive* reasoning far more than it uses
deductive reasoning.  Deduction is a way to try to explain the workings
of a system based on underlying rules, not a way to predict outcomes.

Deduction without testability is religion, not science.

And that's all I have to say about that.

With their popes and their churches, the two are very close.  You paint
the popular idea of science as it's taught in schools, but in reality
it's a definition that doesn't work very well.  It smacks of the
measuring heads, noses and the Holocaust, and omits the conceptual
leaps, the breakthroughs, the cognitive enlightenments, which
invariably happen in the mind of the individual, not in the
laboratories of teams of 'scientists' (technicians), that take
'science' forward.  It's the underlying reason for monolithic
consensus, the fear of exploring new ideas, the rubishing that any
deviation from consensus must suffer, and the upholding of nonsense in
the face of commonsense.  Plate Tectonics for example, in the Earth
sciences - it's so called "crowning achievement".  When it is such
obvious bullshit, how can so many 'scientists' go along with it?

> And that's all I have to say about that.

Well, you haven't thought much about it.  Nor engaged.   What you're
talking about is more technology than science (if there is considered
to be a difference)- getting the 'tools' that we know will work, to
work better. It's reductive.  'Science', as people normally like to
regard it, is different.  It is, as Jonathon says, more to do with
working out the hierarchy of cause and effect of reality and 'truth',
that allows the 'tools' to work in the first place.  Which is holistic.
Once that is worked out, then test it by all means, but it's the
holistic aspect that provides the tools that we know will work.
'Science' as you call it, is just using them.  The creation and
discarding of hypotheses ("anyone can have one") through the use of
tools is a tawdry affair, and cheapens the real deal, which occurs at a
deeper level in the mind than the 'ten-a-penny' we get in Nature,
Science, Scientific American and the like.

And good observation says :-  "there are no plates".  "And no motion."
And what does light and heat have to do with things, if there are no
plates and no motion?

Making mountains is a destructive, not a constructive event.  They are
an artifact of weather (erosion/ break-up) and gravity (removal/
transport).  Correction:- they are *what's left* when those two have
worked their random woe. They are an expression of  RESISTANCE to
RANDOM WOE.  Does that make it static or chaotic?

Yes and no.  Not in a geological framework.  Geological speaking they
are reduced to rubble and peneplain faster than than a geological
blink.   But the time scale for mountain-building probably needs
revised.

There is only one type, the one that's way up there whilst we are way
down here.  You're talking from a 'genetic' perspective, when that is
what we're trying to work out.

Ohoohh, I don't know about that, ..  It's a pretty big leap - and what
do you mean by 'life'?  But it's a good question - where in the
hierarchy of cause and effect does life (growth by cell division, e.g.,
the mid-oceanic ridges <smile here> fit in?  Does it have a singular
place?, ..or is it a pervasive phenomenon of self-organisation
generally, ...just that some things are more 'living' than others,

A mountain is not 'caused'.  It's what's left after erosion has had a
go at it.  I don't know how that figures with life.  Well I kind of do,
..but only in a sort of a way.

Don't forget you're not constructing anything.  Mountains are residual.
They are a byproduct of something else (weathering/ climate/) - They
are an untidy residue

I'm having difficulty here, in view of the above (that mountains are an
untidy residue).  Mountains are not really mountains - they are a hole
in the efficiency of erosion, due to an interaction with what's being
eroded

I have to think about that.  I would have thought that the higher the
connectivity, the smoother the 'landscape' would be (more things
relating to each other evens things out - it should end up like a
plane) - but I guess you're talking about those cauliflower Mandelbrot
pictures..

It's resistance.  The crust is resistant, therefore lava flows that
splurge out don't sink.  This is critical to the existence of ocean
floors, and why the exposed mantle under the water is not a bog of
sinking lava fields (as isostacy says it should be - particularly when
gravitationally gripped by the Moon)  <g>

Yes, I know.  Geology has recognised Earth expansion as the top of the
pyramid of cause-and-effect as it affects the closed system of the body
of the Earth and its geological history (time).  And that has lifted
enquiry on the astro-scale.  Now it's over to physicists to explain how
it happens.  Their insistence on heat loss and convection is an insult
to the intelligence of schoolchildren.   And more people need to say
so.   In fact, I'd almost substitute 'growth' for 'expansion', and
wonder why I don't.

..The appropriate scale of cause and effect...    Yes, but it's linear,
isn't it, ..moving up and down that ladder, and intuitively I don't
like that, because between each 'rung'/ edge/ scale change/ there is
self organisation and feedback, ..and intuitively it doesn't seem right
that there should be an end to the ladder, a top to the pyramid.   I
know it's an easy way to conceive of cause and effect, but I'm not sure
it's a good one (Him up there - giving us the big rungaround).   It's
more in-and-out than that, surely ?   Less 'linear', ..more
'connected'.

"Scale of approach".   But of course, if you take us out of the
picture, the phenomenon(a) still exists and must be accounted for,
..just that it won't be the same account as the various 'we's'  give
it.

Why "finally"? (UP)   There are some pretty low forms of life around.
I mean you can look at life on the quantum level being like an atomic
bomb, the effect it has on its environment - emergent at the atomic/
molecular/ genetic level - but we could destroy the planet with our
feedback.

'Wholism' - yes, ..but the scale of approach?  Wholism implies true
enquiry needs to be conducted at ever larger scales as each 'rung is
inserted in the ladder', but our concept of 'scale' is perhaps
distorted so that it seems linear to us.  How do we get around that
one?

Interesting site that you link to there.  Thanks.
don findlay - 30 Aug 2005 10:22 GMT
So you see, Jonathon, ...we don't really get past first base on this
one (your interrogation of the problem), because the whole notion of
uplift of the crust - "Mountain building" - is in the sense of plate
tectonics and the "upheaval of mountains" and with the slightest bit of
observation and commonsense, a complete nonsense - another furfy
beloved of 'real scientists' (with half a brain).  The real deal is
erosion of plateaus, and what causes the changing base-levels that make
them.  Ask the right question and we have half a chance of coming up
with some sort of an answer, but scientists' seem to want answers
(preferably somebody else's) without even bothering to ask a question.

Lazy sods. The whole notion of 'science' should go under the
sociological microscope. There couldn't be a more graphic illustration
of 'SCIENTISTS AS SHEEP' than the way people regard plate tectonics as
a mechanism of "mountain building" in the face of all evidence to the
contrary.   'Mountains' are not 'built' - plateaus are eroded.

The same can be said for uplift by isostatic rebound due to the melting
of ice. Isostatic rebound? ..uplift due to the melting of ice?:-
http://users.indigo.net.au/don/to/kkm1.html
Well, it's certainly not crumplecrust tectonics, ...and isostatic
rebound is the only other thing that geologists offer for uplift.  For
a start the crust is not crumpled, and where it is (in parts) the
plateau (which is eroded to make mountains) postdates the crumpling.
The two are due to different phenomena;  again it's not the crumpling
that makes mountains.

A little bit of thought shows where this is headed.  This is why none
of the 'geologists' here want to talk about it.  They're happier
shooting from the hip trying to identify poor little lost stones in
hyperspace.  "What kind of stone is this?"   **REAL GOOD** questions,
aren't they?

What's the mathematical equivalent?   And how would what you were
saying apply to 'holes-in-erosion' - i.e. mountains?
