Given the nature of quantum mechanics, how does a puny geek seal a point?

How would one prevent the impossible?

Revolving-door merit

Membership of aristocracy is governed by non-negative elevation.

Committees and Interaction

Given a committee as a possible internal mechanism for analysis and resolution, that committee must still have a single organic interface to other entities.

For example, the President of the United States might have a cabinet meeting, but when the president speaks to China at the highest level, the dialogue between the President and China is an interpersonal interaction that becomes recorded as the official conversation between those two nations.

The President changes, but the historical record does not. The president is not the United States, but must still act with full responsibility for the previous conversations and actions of his country.

China should not and does not expect to have to speak to each cabinet member about the same topic or about different aspects of the same topic. Each cabinet member brings a different aspect to bear, and, just as with the kaumatua, the president takes all into consideration to act and phrase the president’s behaviour, statements, and responses.

Prudence

Given some problem, perhaps represented as a dependency graph, prudence is exhibited by solution and removal of each point, such as with this stable marriage algorithm. This is in stark contrast to a political correct diminutivisation, which would have each point diluted and obfuscated. In the latter case the point is not dealt with, but becomes hidden. For example: Excellent, bloody good, quite good, not bad, okay.

Consumption Logic

A work which generates a complex thought is subject to the quantum no-cloning theorem.

Does the sun exist?: The Catholic Church and catholicism

There are tribes of Africans who have been visited by westerners with cameras, clothes, and rings and things.  They enjoy dancing and jumping up and down.  While I have not personally been to Africa, if I can believe the Discovery Channel, then I have to accept that these people wear tartan stuff.

Hunting lions and tigers is a fearsome undertaking, and the men of those tribes are testament to the silent nature of the hunt.  The meat having been eaten, a chieftain then wears the pelt as a sign of sovereignty and respect.

The pharoahs of Egypt have amply demonstrated that the illumination of a brainless corpse cannot bring that corpse to life.  While the dharma of the pharoah of the Kabbalah may be transmitted, life is fleeting.  Alexander, after passing control to his satrap, left Egypt.

While Jesus of Nazareth might have had a bad start with a lying mother and a push-over father, his woolly-woofty ‘I can heal you’ stint as Jesus Christ saw him crucified.  No one else ever needs to do that, he died for you.

An interesting election process saw the inclusion of a few gospels in the new testament.  In a time of tenuous physical control over the bubbling animus of a population lacking schools, ample shelter, clothing, and food, and a lack of proven knowledge of the natural world, there may have been a need for a somewhat authoritarian anchor of belief.

Councils at Trent and Nicea, with the overt goal of interpretation of scripture, determined certain courses for the Christian bishops.  Augustine had coined the pharaonic and platonic realm of the soul as a heaven ruled by an almighty deity.  While the aim of the Christian church may have been to admit as many as possible into the realm of everlasting ineffectuality, the mundane and temporal nature of man and the prince saw the Western Catholic orthodoxy involve itself in territorial expansion and the accumulation of gold.

During the Middle Ages, a number of christian crusades to reclaim the Holy Land saw the rise of a number of benevolent orders.  Hospitalars and Templars, those to care for and defend pilgrims, eased the passage to the Levant.  The templars, who had sworn to poverty and chastity with a ritual kiss on the ass and a secretly whispered ‘kundalini,’ were disbanded by the pope as a corrupt, rich, and deceitful order in the middle of the last christian millenium.

That millenium saw the graduation of schools from Plato’s gymnasia to universities for the older children.  Scholasticism and Neoplatonism began to lead to the liberation of foreign writings such as those of the greeks and arabs.

There is and was a tension between the need to prevent spontaneous civil discombobulation and the right of all individuals to live under their own direction with dignity and respect.  The Enlightenment and Reformation saw the liberation of the common man and a personal relationship with the divine.

The temporal aspirations of the Catholic Church have seen a binding to the literal and a division of the world into black and white.  The lot of the common man is not to provide energy and resource for a megalomaniacal animal, but to be able to enjoy his impermanence while he may.

The governing nature of the subordinates in the catholic church and the truly benevolent aim of most priests and laymen assists the parish in navigating the challenge of the true Kabbalah.

The church teaches and provides lessons on a variety of daily tasks.  For example, the relation between a husband and a wife is described.  There is a core and a truth, and there is a reality and pragmatic of technology.  For one husband and one wife to achieve connection and understanding may not always be achieved.

In the contemporary world, with improved education, less disguising and dissembling, and the accumulated habitus, especially of families both ancient and modern, some marriages may be open to more than two partners without violating catholicism.

There is no longer any need for the intimate pastoral care of a village priest just as there is no longer any need for signal towers.  The Catholic Church chose to have a pope as Vicar of Christ.  The schism with the iconoclastic patriarchy of the orthodox church left the map of advancement hidden from the Vatican and for the navigators of the orthodoxy to move their men to distant shores.

With access to a decent university (Not currently Harvard, Haifa, or in New Zealand), and the question “does the sun exist?” one can arrive at a premise-free conception and model of reality.  Faith no more.

We can explain the sun, the body, the mind, the animal, the man, the angel, the taiha, and the empires of the sun.
