The Reality Master: Ontological Mathematics for Engineers.

Ontological Math Snigglets # 2 More snigglets . They're relatively easy to write, and don't require a big investment to read. And just to be clear, except as noted, these are ideas I came up with on my own independently of the OM books. Once again, most do not directly have anything to do with OM. However, I would make two points about this. First, I did try to select ideas that I think will be appealing to other OM'ers (believe me, I could have added a bunch of computer science entries as well). Second, since OM is a true Theory of Everything, then technically speaking, anything you talk about is a part of OM. Anyways, I hope you enjoy. p.s. Snigglets #1 are here Subtle But Big There should be a word in the English language for the concept of something that is small -- a minor insight say, but yet at the same time imparts a surprisingly large impact. I think a good example of this is the crossing of the event horizon in a black hole. Let's assume you hav...

Introduction One of the best things about the books from the Pythagorean Illuminati are the little "mini-articles", or "meme-breaks", between the chapters on the more substantial topics. Here they'll analyze more casual faire, and kind of riff on certain ideas. Oftentimes, they'll mostly ask questions and not try to reach any specific conclusions. They actually state this is an intentional literary device to help keep the interest high, especially among readers who might have attention spans conditioned by social media and the internet. I call them snigglets (even though they actually read more like a series of tweets). Anyway, I keep a running series of notebooks containing my thoughts, and after having completed the most recent one, I decided to take some of the more interesting entries and turn them into something like the aforementioned "snigglets". So here is the result. The goal is to entertain, and make you think, not so much to aut...

The pluralists will never defeat the monists. In WWII, the pluralists got lucky – because two positive-liberty leviathan systems, Nazism and Soviet Communism, fought each other to the death, allowing negative-liberty America to assume leadership of the world. But now negative-liberty America is directly up against positive-liberty China, and China has learned everything it needed to from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and even from America. It’s much bigger than America, much stronger than America, much smarter than America, and has far superior leaders. -- Sinclair, David. The Wolf Tamers: How They Made the Strong Weak (pp. 291-292). Kindle Edition. Introduction I think it's pretty clear that, overall, I'm a big fan of Ontological Mathematics (OM). As I've said before in several posts it's the most enlightening system of thought I've ever learned, and that's besting a BS in Electrical Engineering, several certificates in Software Engineering, and work...

Double Entry Philosophy The power of double book accounting as applied to Ontlogical Mathematics. Introduction A while back I took a course on double book accounting, mostly because on my last job I interacted with the accounting team a lot, and was trying to get a grip on some of the terminology they were always throwing around like the concept of "accruals". I assumed it would all be a rather dry topic, but, when I properly understood it and generalized it as double perspective modeling , it turned out to be a powerful and insightful way of looking at things. In this post, we will explore the power of applying "double book" to philosophy, or to ones worldview, esp. with regard to the power of having an Ontology (e.g. Ontological Math) complementing an Epistemology (e.g. Materialism/Science). Aside from the beginning where I talk a little about double book accounting (or double entry bookkeeping), this will not be a writeup on accounting. So please don...
