- Countless undergraduate musings ago, in a diversion from number theory, the
- reverse engineering of physical theories beckoned. A primary artefact of the
- physicists' thought-stuff was the 3D consequential conservation - the inverse
- square laws.
-
- Unlike A Abian, the young explorer sought not fame and iconoclasm, but instead
- wondered after explanations for things observed, and things recorded.
-
- The Psychology:
-
- Explanation was a motivating force in the human brain which (in less than
- lazy individuals) was found to be productive - of more useful categories and
- more compact explanations.
-
- Although the compactness of the explanations appeared to approach an "ABIAN"
- stability, this was a furphy, since categorical definitions to support these
- more and more compact thoughts happened to fill many libraries, with more and
- more refined qualifications and adjustments.
-
- The weak-minded would circumvent the extent of the libraries by abusing their
- languages and always expected a smaller book to contain more than a larger one.
- Moreover, the output of such scholars was _revolutionary_, but only in the
- sense that forgetting is the act of an anarchist.
-
- Maybe a radical transformation of language would strengthen a weak mind, but
- only at the price of the uncertainty about whether the language would weaken
- it instead. Best to be of two minds...
-
- The Physics:
-
- Two cats chasing each other's tails would attract the attention of other four
- legged, sensate beings in their vicinity. At any point in time, the further
- of these two cats from an observer would have less influence, until an interval
- of time had passed when the proximal distinctions had swapped. If the influence
- on the observer was somehow out of sync (due to sensational processing delays
- - system response times), the cats would respond to the observer's reactions in
- a doubly out of sync response. Any CHANGE in the states (apart from running)
- of either of the cats, or the observer would artefactually *attract* the
- remaining two individuals towards the informational barycentre of the
- interactions (due primarily to the difference between the angular extent
- of a diameter of cat rotation, and the maximum occluded angle - when viewed
- at a finite distance - that the pair of moving cats appears closer than either
- of the cats are on average).
-
- This model of the electron is only feasible if the time delays between the
- cats are massless, otherwise the observer would be subject to uncontrollable
- wobbles. Hence, that cats will chase each other forever, without feeling the
- least bit secure, and the observer will be drawn into the fray...
-
- Corollary:
-
- The most general definition of "stability" is "change". Without "change", the
- concept of "inertia" is utterly meaningless. "Inertia" is WHY the cats run...
