I note your essay lists lots of numbers that are measurements of the current state vector of humanity or, for my essay, the state vector of each state. But the people must measure their well-being and survival potential of each state. If there is a problem, they vote with their feet. Thus, the survival potential measure I'd like must include per capita type measures.

Let me say it another way. We already are measuring many things about the human condition. We have already used math in the form of probabilities to estimate future outcomes. We are more than just starting this endeavor. We just need a matrix to multiply by the state vector to arrive at a survival potential measure for each state. That is, we need a sociological measure not a biophysics measure to predict outcomes of various policies. This will require a great many trials. More than one at a time can provide in any reasonable time as Bee suggests.

"JH: the language of QM and Cosmology are quite different." Well, they are both math. But the fundamental principles and the type of math is different. Cosmology is all about gravity (general relativity). Where is gravity in the QM (world of the small)? I am not aware of any model of QM being applied successfully to some of the anomalies of cosmology such as rotation curves, Pioneer anomaly, central mass correlation to galaxy disk parameters, the theoretical temperature of the universe, cooling flows, the difference between elliptical and spiral galaxies, etc. Electromagnetic, strong force, and weak forces are not discussed much in cosmology. But let me plug my model. The idea of matter warping space and being influenced by the warp in space is precisely my thought of an elementary particle (a hod) warping a plenum field (space) and influencing the hod. As far as I know I'm the only one with such a wild thought. There are several difficulties with this. This brings me to section 2 of the essay. These are the fundamental principles in addition to some already in physics to make it work.

Hi JOhn,

Time is short, so I'm reviewing past comments for rating. You asked, "What principles unite life with physics?" We must say all in a paradoxical way. Quantum objects are pre足con足di足tions of the pos足si足bility of objects, which occupy space are com足posed of objects that do not occupy space. In my essay I allude to not actually sitting on the couch but somewhat hovering above it. We are captives of a macro and quantum world we do not fully understand, so our solutions to steering the future are at best rough guesses.

    "We are captives of a macro and quantum world we do not fully understand, so our solutions to steering the future are at best rough guesses."

    This is one of the premises of my essay. You're correct. We don't know and fail to predict the outcome of our actions. That any of the answers to the contest question may result is a positive development for the survival of humanity is totally unknown.

    Hi John,

    You conclusion: "Humanity should steer the future by creating a true nation organization. The best state that humanity can achieve is to be able to adapt to changes without the destruction of war or of collapse."

    Spot on. And so obvious and well presented.

    Thanks,

      John,

      I hope you managed to read my essay and perhaps followed up the link you asked for above. You'll find a far more consistent description and interpretation than much of the current incoherent stuff. The key is uniting QM and classical physics, which my essay shows how. I can't remember you commenting yet but apologies if you have.

      I think both ours are undervalued and are worth high scores let me now if you agree, or ask questions. It seems scientists need to learn how to "adapt to change", which is a very sad comment on a subject which is all about 'advancement'!

        I tried before and again now.

        After trying to downloading a paper I get "sorry something went wrong"

        However, I see you are looking at the EPR paradox. My model avoids it because of the nature of the plenum.

        Hodge

        Surprise.

        I finally got registered. I see your photos and papers.

        Which should I read to discover your DFM is a short description?

        I'm currently modeling light (photons) doing diffraction and interference things.

        Hodge

        OOps.

        When I try to view "A CYCLIC MODEL OF GALAXY EVOLUTION WITH BARS" I get "Sorry, this document isn't available for viewing at this time."

        Hodge

        John,

        You're right about claiming natural law to further agenda. Conservatives now claim the "invisible hand" justifies greed while Adam Smith wanted benefits for all through an "invisible hand."

        Time grows short, so I am revisited those I've read to assure I've rated them. I find that I rated yours on 5/20. Hope you enjoyed mine.

        Jim

        John,

        I don't blame you for avoiding the EPR paradox. Once you've got your head round my derivation I think you'll find no logical continuum.condensate causes it problems, or vice versa.

        The DFM is all about diffraction, refraction and interference effects. My 2012 essay considers in some detail, also analysing in terms of truth function logic, the only logical system not 'ultimately beset by paradox'. It also derives JM rotation, which is kinetic reverse refraction as well as Stellar Aberration and Minkowski curved space time. Have you looked at birefringence and extinction distances yet?

        Glad you seem to have accessed to cyclic evolution paper. Again it's a bit rich for MS to stomach as it all fits together too neatly. I'm beginning to wonder if aliens may be removing critical brain cells from all professors who come too close to truth. Perhaps it's even for our own good. Perhaps we should just smile and get on with exploring the interesting implications.

        Top marks for yours, well done. Scoring it now. (see also Vaguines).

        Peter

        Thanks for the vote.

        Thanks for the reference to Hodge .

        My reference to EPR was to suggest it is founded on an assumption about the distinction between local and non-local. Suppose the plenum (space of general relativity) wave traveled at 10^7 time the speed of light. Well, at least fast enough so your characters were in local space. Matter still travels at less than $c$, a distinction is the Lorentz version of $c$ (the fastest MATTER can travel). Space (plenum in STOE) directs matter so it can do the entanglement thing.

        Perhaps we should continue on the academia.edu link. Perhaps you would comment on my model as well.

        John,

        I agree in all general terms with your viewpoints and ideas. It's also an interesting solution you propose. I believe your score should be higher so will assist. You may also like my short review of the touchy but critical subject of eugenics, but conclusion that changing our way of thinking, which needs different educations, is the key.

        Dear John,

        I noted that we have similar background. We are realist and pragmatist with dreams and rational optimist outlook. We may not agree in method and solution but we seem to agree with our goal. Similarly, I hate wars. I hate violent conflicts. I like discussion of ideas and peaceful and compromised solution. I share deeply your mission: "Only survival and ending violent war are the goals." I also believe that if we do about without violent wars, we are already in Heaven on earth. Life is Leibnitz's best of all possible worlds. I also like Friedman's "Free To Choose" book. I agreed with his No-free lunch economic system when I was in college, but now I learned KQID theory and I learned that our universe is the product of the "ultimate free-lunch" as Allan Guth famously concluded. Thus as you cited Karl Poppers which I also subscribe as the scientific method of falsification. Since our universe is the free-lunch system, thus no-free-lunch system is falsified. Yes, before we didn't know yet how to build a free-lunch system, but now I believe we can. Not long ago, we had no electricity, no phone, no TV, no cars, no airplanes, no rockets, ect, now we have them in abundance and cause for environmental problems. I propose the Scuentific Outlook Rule if Law and Principle and the Scientific Outlook Free-Lunch Economic System powered by KQID's free-lunch engine. Yes, we can do it now. I plan to write a book this free-lunch system. If we want a peaceful world without violent wars, we must fight for life, knowledge, abundance, tolerance and wisdoms and we must fight together against dead, ignorance, scarcity, intolerance and evil.

        I am not just talking about it but I am doing it the best I can. I am not a politician but a scientist by choice who is seeking and working for the truth. Let us work together...let us united together...let us bring all together in harmonious unity with all rainbows of thought, lifestyles, cultures and civilizations.

        Hi John,

        I had your essay on my "to-read" list for some time but am only now getting to some of the essays I promised to read and also wanted to read.

        From my reading of your essay I think we agree broadly on the idea that adopting a "trial-and-error method" as you phrase it (or in terms of the path integral metaphor that I use in my essay). Also you use several of Jared Diamond books to amplify or illustrate your points. I also admire Diamond's books.

        Anyway I liked your essay very much. Best of luck.
