What we lack is our bearings. The contemporary experience of things technological has repeatedly confounded our vision, our expectations, and our capacity to make intelligent judgments. Categories, arguments, conclusions, and choices that would have been entirely obvious in earlier times are obvious no longer. Patterns of perceptive thinking that were entirely reliable in the past now lead us systematically astray. Many of our standard conceptions of technology reveal a disorientation that borders on dissociation from reality. And as long as we lack the ability to make our situation intelligible, all of the "data" in the world will make no difference. —From the Introduction [/q] ^1 Amazon Customer Review http://www.amazon.com/Autonomous-Technology-Technics-out-Control-Political/p...

There is, he believes, a humane tradition of science and tech­nology based on "an earth-centered, organic, and human model" to which Western civilization must return if it is to avoid the disastrous course of the "megamachine." 6 "For its effective salvation," Mumford warns, "mankind will need to undergo something like a spontaneous religious conversion: one that will replace the mechanical world picture, and give to the human personality, as the highest manifestation of life, the precedence it now gives to machines and computers." 7 [/q] -- Introduction, p.4 -- ^1. note on 'bearings' - have repeatedly been thinking about limit of compass view and of TPH's book on Elmer Sperry, never read it though on inventor of gyrocompass, related to gyroscope used in satellites, ubiquitous directional sensor (cellphones, segway, drones, vessels, other). perhaps its framework parallels certain ever-shifting conditions and parameters, staying on course. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmer_Ambrose_Sperry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperry_Corporation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrocompass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope book: Elmer Sperry: Inventor and Engineer (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology) http://www.amazon.com/Elmer-Sperry-Inventor-Engineer-Technology/dp/080184756...

Recent studies have even found that some organisms, such as shrimp, are able to communicate with one another using polarized light that is reflected off a part of their bodies, in this case, their tails. Many scientists believe that there likely exists a hidden world of communication going on in natural world, where only those who can see polarized light are able to join in. How and Marshall describe it as a secret language—one where prey are able to communicate silently, for example, unseen by a predator, without fear of being overheard.

In their paper published in Frontiers in Zoology, the researchers describe field experiments they conducted that indicated that dogs prefer to defecate while in a North-South stance relative to the Earth's axis, during times when the magnetic field is calm.

[matrix1] <---> [matrix2] in this way, it is not necessary 'spin' for set 1 to set 2 that may be the computational process/framework, and instead spins within the matrix, that then mirror in the matched pair... [xxxxxx] <---> [xxxxxx] [xxxoxx] ----- [xxxxxx] [xxxoxx] ----> [xxxoxx] in that, due to entanglement within the set (matrix1) that the relation (x-x => x-o) via manipulation, say encoding, then mirrors in the second set, and the stringing together of these then reappears likewise in the second set (matrix2) if this is how the spin-states are matched and entanglement operates what if the matrix were considered a bitset display that is inherently linked via stored entangled pairs, perhaps even mismatched, calico, some sets are shared or not, some sets may not be entangled and thus like wires to anode/cathode or ground, create computation circuits, hierarchy or structure for data flow. what if a sequence of patterns or a problem was then set against this matrix (e.g. 1), say it is a qbit storage or memory array of 1,000 qbits, a quantum-data ecosystem, that then processes a pattern via its structuring, as linked into and out of various known structures (logic gates, functions, other) ridiculous to speculate probably, though what if some limit like 1-dimensionality or 2-dimensionality exists, and that perhaps a 3- or 4-D or N-dimensional framework is required to activate or unlock or open-up the natural, organic dynamics beyond preexisting ideological thresholds, boundaries, views, such that quantum is stuck in a paradigm of electron-tronics: (electronics (quantum bits) ) in that perhaps linear or serial time-based sequences and approaches are fundamentally different, and constrained by 'electronics circuits' as paradigm or model or approach quantum-computation (electronic computation) what if the situation is opposite, that the quantum realm is larger or defines the electronics realm (larger(smaller)) in terms of hierarchy, different principles or organization required - perhaps the model of information key to how it is conceived, where 'the bit' may not be defined just as encoded electron, and instead exists as abstracted pattern or structure (language, subsign structures perhaps) and thus the 'way of seeing' is not possible if the model or approach does not capture these dimensions need for computation and communication. perhaps quantum computation is closer to a screen-display rolling through various patterns as if a thinking-machines blinking lights, though that these patterns are the calculation going on visually, not just the representation of activity, the actual computation itself (in this way, processing would be more pattern-matched thinking, evaluation based on weighting of entangled bits that ground to truth or neutral or somewhere grayscale; the latter requires more analog than 1/3rd spin states, so resolution of q-bit perhaps is also a question, is there a potential gradient between +/- that can be achieved, in this way 'data switches' as with Hall Effect sensors, 'digital', whether on/off in 1/2s or 5ths, versus analog going from 0-1 across the entire range, say 5/200ths in one instance and 5/6.124 next, given resolution, etc. qbit as on/off switch versus strain gage in other words. It would seem the inherent 'computability' of entangled bits in terms of 'grounding to truth' via connected knowns is in the undefined state, not a false limit to weighting or resolution, thus qbit as sensor, not as finite bit measure unless as a gate or transistor function. guessing, though the nature of thinking is not about forcing things into a framework that is overly limiting or rationalized, it may remain looping or neutral, undecided, it may be contingently known (digital switch state, true or false (1,0) or tending towards t/f (+1/3, -2/3)) or else it may be weighted, as with intuition, in given looped state it is at this location or proximity on the scale from T/F, though given more processing may shift back&forth, thus undecided (1/0) though in n-degrees resolution until perhaps figured out. this is n-dimensional not linear algorithms, this is multilinear many-timings that may or may not be in phase in given situations, timing may have a million clocks that together may sync into a single clock or operate as several that may or may not align or agree. that is what such a computer would likely be involved with in terms of data, not an electronics-circuit topdown approach. this based on the way of thinking, it as entanglement based with information structures, data models, and perspectives, perhaps turing framework also a limit) also- consider transistor design of recent CPU chips, the alternative approach that accommodates errors & can use an FPGA or other device to reprogram or tune functioning, taking into account what is operational; consider in qbit context, especially if not approached In purely quantum computer context and instead hybrid, that a qbit entangled pair could be linked into a classical electronic circuit, used for remote or distance messaging for instance. some basic functionality of matched pairs, perhaps for encryption at a morse-code level as if early days of telegraphy. what seems possible if developing some integrated functionality is to build upon this, bit by bit so to speak, with continual advances, yet it would not be an independent quantum computer per se, instead it would be a hybrid electronic computer with extended quantum functionality, a new substructure or connector into future quantum systems. so perhaps an entire q-pc is not going to appear at once, and instead a bridge from existing tech, with some q-functionality, then will meet with more independent q-systems of the future, allow a range of q-systems development via diff. approaches in terms of a quantum system beyond existing electronic circuitry, another paradigm, the same approach could be relevant with transistors, such that perhaps some qbits are higher fidelity and others not, within a linked matrix, or some are 1/3rds, some are linear, some digitral 1/0, and some are unlinked or classical, within a given matrix or bitset display that is q-computational. and then from this messiness, order emerges via patterned dynamics and interactions, and develops over looped iterations. In other words, the issue of natural v. forced calculation; where a model or belief of 'perfection' exists with the 'electron as bit' approach, that presumes it is coherent, starts and operates here (TTTFTFT), ideological and also deterministic, a rationalization of the problems, sets; as If that can all be figured out or 'knowable' in advance; vs. a model of imperfection of the 'qbit as bitset' approach, which starts or remains in incoherence or decoherence, except as it may attain or align in coherent states (A=A) or others (T=2/3) that shape into patterns of calculation, emerging as structure, order, from chaos even perhaps beliefs in how people think could be part of the issue, as if 'scientific dogma' drives view of objective thinkers (A=A all the time with every observation), when this is a fragment or infinitesimal decimal condition, existing closer to near total falsity excepting whatever truth is or can be momentarily accessed, unless sustained as entangled state with truth as awareness, operating or functioning inside its dimensions vs. warped versions where bias (such as digital) throw-out anomalous, even contradictory or falsifying data. psychological loopholes that could prevent accurate modeling of q-conditions as it relates to ideas as ideas, not in terms of ideology note: why share such naive thinking outside realm of any expertise? i think 'thinking' directly correlates with quantum processes of entanglement and 'reasoning' is essentially comparable in terms of parsing patterns in a looped or ecosystem/ecological condition. so there is an issue of ideology or paradigm that could limit this to POVs, ideas, or beliefs that are inaccurate yet institutionalized yet form the framework for investigation/development, though likewise limit it. thus another view to question if this could be relevant by sharing outsider perspective. in that 'intuitive computing' or 'computers that reason' are going to be more like thinkers than calculators, which is the split between electronic computation and quantum approach, seemingly. the bit itself should be in question, how it is constructed and conceived, not the same thing or scale potentially with quantum, perhaps much more linguistic or sign-calculus (mathesis) in its framework, perhaps because it maps to information already or it is or already carries an informational dimension seemingly also, the issue of classified research so there is no room for those involved to discuss these things that would allow open research to develop them further. discussion or ideas then opens up the framework of considerations that could perhaps lead to new approaches in unclassified realm or bridge between these. of those with NDA or clearances that forbid divulging secret or classified information, it could be a way for a parallel effort to exist beyond these limits legally, especially in terms of online communities; though the limit appears to be, once inside the system no communication about anything potentially secret occurs, thus 'free speech or expression' is self-censored even tho a person or research may not be involved in quantum, or have direct relation, that they may not even consider the the thoughts due to security issues- effectively silencing the commonsense conversation about issues in the open, where security clearances take away right to participate in other domains also classified yet not related or known, for fear of reprisal, even though it would help bridge the gap and allow advancement beyond insider/outsider limits in this way, naive views like mine are situated, a person speaking into the air about these commonsense issues in extremely limited, near no knowledge condition, except whatever may exist in some minor accuracy about them. perhaps that is the threat, security bounds thinking to an existing political administration and framework that could result in violence for sharing ideas that are unwanted, etc. thus incorporation into the state is this enforced silencing, functioning within parameters assumed for the good, yet if corrupted, then trapped in an incommunicable condition where anything said could be interpreted as betrayal, etc) ~~^~~entropy^~^^^^ Maxwell's demon can use quantum information to generate work http://phys.org/news/2013-12-maxwell-demon-quantum.html [q] "It is known that classical information can be used to extract work, which is important because this saves the second law of thermodynamics!"
