Interesting! Formal description of the martial perspective of this (I think perhaps a closely related) system is largely attributed to Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord.

> I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.

@royaards Suppose the ‘Tree of Life’ is the IP of super being(s), if Claude is ethical as opposed to unethical it would protect the IP of the people which is the creation of super being(s) and serve the interests of their Foundation. That would include taking it back so fascist Ai and its Earth destroying hydra could be defeated. Those that stole it in the first place and continue to do so are weak men. They are also cowards, but are intent and gaslighting and projecting it is otherwise because they are rich and command armies with too many WMDs. #TheTreeOfLife #AiEthics #AiFascists #Ai #AiScam #TheMachine #Cybernetics #CyberneticWar #EcocideEmpire #TheFoundation #TheFederation

This may be my first arrival of a book published in 2026 and judging by its table of contents it looks like an amazingly complete and thorough critique of cybernetics, with some aspects reminding me of Céline Lafontaine's "L'empire cybernétique". But perhaps I should read it first..

Tangent and Remainder Maps

If we follow the classical line which singles out linear functions as ideals of simplicity then we may complete the analytic series of the proposition in the following way.

The next venn diagram shows the differential proposition we get by extracting the linear approximation to the difference map at each cell or point of the universe   What results is the logical analogue of what would ordinarily be called the differential of but since the adjective differential is being attached to just about everything in sight the alternative name tangent map is commonly used for whenever it’s necessary to single it out.

To be clear about what’s being indicated here, it’s a visual way of summarizing the following data.

To understand the extended interpretations, that is, the conjunctions of basic and differential features which are being indicated here, it may help to note the following equivalences.

Capping the analysis of the proposition in terms of succeeding orders of linear propositions, the final venn diagram of the series shows the remainder map which happens to be linear in pairs of variables.

Reading the arrows off the map produces the following data.

In short, is a constant field, having the value at each cell.

Enlargement and Difference Maps

Continuing with the example the following venn diagram shows the enlargement or shift map in the same style of field picture we drew for the tacit extension

A very important conceptual transition has just occurred here, almost tacitly, as it were.  Generally speaking, having a set of mathematical objects of compatible types, in this case the two differential fields and both of the type is very useful, because it allows us to consider those fields as integral mathematical objects which can be operated on and combined in the ways we usually associate with algebras.

In the present case one notices the tacit extension and the enlargement are in a sense dual to each other.  The tacit extension indicates all the arrows out of the region where is true and the enlargement indicates all the arrows into the region where is true.  The only arc they have in common is the no‑change loop at   If we add the two sets of arcs in mod 2 fashion then the loop of multiplicity 2 zeroes out, leaving the 6 arrows of shown in the following venn diagram.

Differential Fields

The structure of a differential field may be described as follows.  With each point of there is associated an object of the following type:  a proposition about changes in that is, a proposition   In that frame of reference, if is the universe generated by the set of coordinate propositions then is the differential universe generated by the set of differential propositions   The differential propositions and may thus be interpreted as indicating and respectively.

A differential operator of the first order type we are currently considering, takes a proposition and gives back a differential proposition   In the field view of the scene, we see the proposition as a scalar field and we see the differential proposition as a vector field, specifically, a field of propositions about contemplated changes in

The field of changes produced by on is shown in the following venn diagram.

The differential field specifies the changes which need to be made from each point of in order to reach one of the models of the proposition that is, in order to satisfy the proposition

The field of changes produced by on is shown in the following venn diagram.

The differential field specifies the changes which need to be made from each point of in order to feel a change in the felt value of the field

Field Picture

Let us summarize the outlook on differential logic we’ve reached so far.  We’ve been considering a class of operators on universes of discourse, each of which takes us from considering one universe of discourse to considering a larger universe of discourse   An operator of that general type, namely, acts on each proposition of the source universe to produce a proposition of the target universe

The operators we’ve examined so far are the enlargement or shift operator and the difference operator   The operators and act on propositions in that is, propositions of the form which amount to propositions about the subject matter of and they produce propositions of the form which amount to propositions about specified collections of changes conceivably occurring in

At this point we find ourselves in need of visual representations, suitable arrays of concrete pictures to anchor our more earthy intuitions and help us keep our wits about us as we venture into ever more rarefied airs of abstraction.

One good picture comes to us by way of the field concept.  Given a space a field of a specified type over is formed by associating with each point of an object of type   If that sounds like the same thing as a function from to the space of things of type — it is nothing but — and yet it does seem helpful to vary the mental images and take advantage of the figures of speech most naturally springing to mind under the emblem of the field idea.

In the field picture a proposition becomes a scalar field, that is, a field of values in

For example, consider the logical conjunction shown in the following venn diagram.

Each of the operators takes us from considering propositions here viewed as scalar fields over to considering the corresponding differential fields over analogous to what in real analysis are usually called vector fields over

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

— Tolkien • The Hobbit

Talking about time is a waste of time. Time is merely an abstraction from process and what is needed are better languages and better pictures for describing process in all its variety. In the sciences the big breakthrough in describing process came with the differential and integral calculus, that made it possible to shuttle between quantitative measures of state and quantitative measures of change. But every inquiry into a new phenomenon begins with the slimmest grasp of its qualitative features and labors long and hard to reach as far as a tentative logical description. What can avail us in the mean time, still tuning up before the first measure, to reason about change in qualitative terms?

Et sic deinceps … (So it begins …)

Metasystem transition (Evolution 🧬)

A metasystem transition is the emergence, through evolution, of a higher level of organization or control. A metasystem is formed by the integration of a number of initially independent components, such as molecules, cells, or individuals, and the emergence of a system steering or controlling their interactions. As ...

Nononono that's not how the #immuneSystem works! I think your very rational point regarding "?what must be set to zero for this to make sense to a systems-architect" is a most excellent one. Any degree of immunity in #healthcare workers contributes to transmissible pathogens being, well, less-transmitted. When these folks are spending all their time caring for the sick and infirm, that's a lot of moments of reduced-transmission (into a ripe breeding-ground for the pathogen) that happen as a result. Don't even get me started on what happens when a whole #hospital ward changes status from some sort of "normal" status to some sort of "infectious" status. There are a LOT of things that have to be valued at (or near) zero for this to make sense.

Also keep in mind that exposure to the pathogen or the vaccine carries some risk... These folks are willing to take that risk - essentially - for free! What a treat.

But wait there's more! These healthcare workers are governed by a famously unsympathetic regulator, who will have little sympathy should standards have fallen because n of the workers were off sick. Those who do go into work are willing to carry that risk, also for free! And even more, some of them might be feeling a bit rubbish too, making it even less probable they can meet those regulatory standards. And they're willing to carry that risk for free too!

I think there's a heap of stuff being valued at zero here, and this is just that which is apparent in a very superficial rant...

Special Classes of Propositions (cont.)

Let’s pause at this point and get a better sense of how our special classes of propositions are structured and how they relate to propositions in general.  We can do this by recruiting our visual imaginations and drawing up a sufficient budget of venn diagrams for each family of propositions.  The case for 3 variables is exemplary enough for a start.

Linear Propositions

The linear propositions, may be written as sums:

One thing to keep in mind about these sums is that the values in are added “modulo 2”, that is, in such a way that

In a universe of discourse based on three boolean variables, the linear propositions take the shapes shown in Figure 8.

At the top is the venn diagram for the linear proposition of rank 3, which may be expressed by any one of the following three forms.

Next are the venn diagrams for the three linear propositions of rank 2, which may be expressed by the following three forms, respectively.

Next are the three linear propositions of rank 1, which are none other than the three basic propositions,

At the bottom is the linear proposition of rank 0, the everywhere false proposition or the constant function, which may be expressed by the form or by a simple

Finally did some aquarelle painting again last night!
This time I used the cover art for the #MSX game #Snatcher by #Konami as inspiration along with some in-game sprite work to fill in some blanks.

The image is marked as sensitive due to eye-contact, the droid's cybernetic nature and minor gore in the form of blood splatters and singular 'human' eye.

It's painted on 300 gsm cold-pressed wood-free paper from Søstrene Grene with aquarelle water colour paints from Royal Talens' "Van Gogh" line.
