When and how? The concept of God might be an explanation, but I will disregard it, not only for it being naïve and fatalistic, but it also just moves the question to "Who created God?". There are physical theories like Big-Bang, strings and multiverse, but they also raise further question, and - frankly - does it really matter if some theory is true or not? If you somehow knew that it's true, would you be in any way in a better position than a <i>Panorpa communi</i>s that doesn't know - and doesn't give a shit - about it? After all, if the knowledge is so important, why millions of people sit and meditate, trying to forget everything and ease the mind, with apparently not much success. Look at the <i>Panorpa communis</i>! Its' meditation - the way of life actually - is much more effective. </div><div style="text-align: center;">***</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>My Theory of Everything goes like this. In the beginning there was nothingness, consisting of matter and antimatter in equal parts, which nihilated each other. But nothingness was slightly random. At a certain time matter gained a tiny advantage in being more probable. Even a single particle of matter that prevailed over antimatter was able to start its exponential growth, just like the virus epidemic. From then on the evolution took over, evolution from elementary particles to more and more complicated forms. By this reasoning it is not difficult to understand the seemingly unconceivable complexity of organic life, as a product of billions of years of evolution. Human consciousness, so much self-praised, is then no more then a by-product in the evolution of matter. Pondering about the complexity of (human) life is not the way to revelation. It is the opposite: to understand - or rather to identify with - the basic structure (which I call electron) as a building particle of everything.</div></div>iikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08044746367328550812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013020501636540583.post-78602341583299586682021-02-20T06:43:00.009-08:002021-07-08T06:56:51.798-07:00Origins of Life, Finals of Death<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeQfzp3cTQAEDwri0xf2VKX1FWIk5hv1Wb729CA0IzwfdLLtzcdjD1rOk6Ljgmhnuf0QCqi9zeqoCzBHS7yngR_OBp_RGDb_z4sKWXO6fUh5hIOGpC8EfCgxoGHGnrbn9qvA0N49tgt9NT/s800/Scull.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="699" data-original-width="800" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeQfzp3cTQAEDwri0xf2VKX1FWIk5hv1Wb729CA0IzwfdLLtzcdjD1rOk6Ljgmhnuf0QCqi9zeqoCzBHS7yngR_OBp_RGDb_z4sKWXO6fUh5hIOGpC8EfCgxoGHGnrbn9qvA0N49tgt9NT/w400-h350/Scull.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Human evolution as a main course.</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I've been thinking about big topics lately. Those from the times of the “Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”: questions about Time, Space, the Universe, and Everything in general. I’m afraid this has to do with age. I seem to have come to years when progressive dementia takes me back to childhood. Or at least to adolescence. At that time, I was also dealing with big questions and, if I remember correctly, I had already come up with certain answers that I later forgot, or at least was ashamed of. Why was I ashamed of them? Because a person in his mature years just can't think about the universe, life and similar things. A person in his mature years has to master more demanding, specialized topics. Let’s say: how does beef ripen to get ripe beef? Or: which waterproof coating is suitable for ceramics and which for natural stone? Or: when is the best time to put fish eggs in streams to make it optimal for fishing? Or: why is citric acid better than regular lemon juice to prevent oxidation of sliced apples? These are the questions that separate professionals from amateurs! Anyone with 5 minutes of free time can deal with the problem of life! Growing a blue-orange tulip, or piloting a helicopter, however, requires inappropriately more skills. Unfortunately, I realized this too late. And now - what is done, is done. But before I would fall into severe depression due to this realization of my own inferiority, I was saved by national television. Luckily, it's not just me who's become childish: they've also started to wonder about big topics on television; big topics like life and abortion.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">***</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">TV show on such an emotional topic – life and abortion - provoked violent reactions. This was to be expected, but it was probably also planned. Sometimes, however, demagogy also raises interesting questions; especially when it's poorly done. This post is thus a mental response to ill-considered demagogy. Throughout the TV show, for example, they kept wondering at what point the life begins. Is it at the conception, or when the brain develops in the embryo or when the child is born or when it becomes aware of itself? Some medical doctors in the show have noted - inaccurately in my opinion - that life starts when two germ cells join. It actually starts, or has started, much earlier. So much earlier that for human notions of time we can safely say that life is eternal. Namely, each individual life of each living specimen.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Life - not only human but also animal or plant life - goes back to the first unicellular organism, or even to bacteria and archaea, if these are the ancestors of unicellular organisms. Every living human - if we have to focus on this singular species - is therefore the result or descendant of a continuous series of sexual reproductions or fertilizations (indisputably also a large number of "immaculate conceptions" or parthenogenesis) of various organisms - jellyfish, worms, fish, frogs, dinosaurs and finally a relatively small number of people. This series dates back to the history of 600 million years ago when the first invertebrates evolved, or even a billion years before that to even simpler life forms. Because, if it weren't so, if this set of reproductions were interrupted in a single generation of this immense number of generations, if one of these partners were missing, then a certain specimen - for example, you, dear reader - would not exist. You don't believe it? Would you be alive if your father died before he fertilized your mother? No! Would you be alive if your grandmother had no children? Not either. By mathematical deduction, we conclude that if we cross out a single partner from any generation, however distant, all the genealogical connections in the tree that leads to you would fall like dominoes. So if cockroach A hadn’t met and fertilized cockroach B 400 million years ago, you wouldn’t be here either. Due to the fatal non-meeting of two cockroaches, you could say goodbye to your apartment, car, smartphone, yoga sessions, morning coffees with friends, moaning about the corruption of our politicians and everything in general, including thinking about the beginning of life.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukfUe7U2zzdzgVaKInnmSRGpMwH0tTeKeeU0beKsbXDYOrKktIIQGpfgl0NmUkDSwUIzgql1gamHcjNvzDLDUKCBJSEkGGi-Bz4SRbS4sr9rWCaHuPFvzU02_NHddCHtYFIabO4mxr1TQ/s703/population.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="703" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukfUe7U2zzdzgVaKInnmSRGpMwH0tTeKeeU0beKsbXDYOrKktIIQGpfgl0NmUkDSwUIzgql1gamHcjNvzDLDUKCBJSEkGGi-Bz4SRbS4sr9rWCaHuPFvzU02_NHddCHtYFIabO4mxr1TQ/w400-h196/population.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Figure 1: genealogical tree of my Ego.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But how many specimens in history have participated in the creation of ourselves? A family tree is a binary tree: each individual in any generation is a child of two parents from the previous generation. Generations here are counted in the direction of the past. Assuming sexual reproduction in each generation, 2n individuals participated in the n-th generation. Generation 0 are we, ie. one person (20= 1 ). The first generation are mom and dad, ie. 21 = 2. The second generation are grandparents; they are (usually) 4: 22 = 4. In the n-th generation we have 2n parents, or ancestors. If I am the "Ego" in Figure 1, m21 is the male number 1 in generation 2 - this is my grandfather - more precisely, my mother's father. He is the child of my great-grandmother f32 and my great-grandfather m32, ie the second parents of generation 3. In pre-capitalist times, people admired genelogical trees. Those who were patient enough managed to trace their origins back to 6 generations, which meant a maximum of 26 = 64 ancestors in generation 6. They spent most of their lives for only 64 names - and even felt immensely proud of it, as if they themselves had any influence on their origin. What a waste of time! If they only took advantage of part of the considerable contribution which the state paid for their primary education, they would find in a few minutes that, for example, in the 35th generation they had 2↑<span style="font-size: x-small;">35</span> = 34359738368 or just over 34 billion ancestors and that there is therefore little sense in researching the genealogical tree. Thank God we experienced capitalism and realized that time is money and we don’t deal with such nonsense anymore!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Sure, you wonder, what 34 billion? There have never been so many people in the world! So this theory can not apply! I graciously allow that you are partially right. The trick is that not all of these 34 billion ancestors are different. In fact, very many were the same. In other words, we are all a product of an incest, ie. descendants of mating between close relatives, sisters and brothers. Take, for example, generation 3. There are 8 relatives. There may be 8 different ones, but there may be only 2, one man and one woman who had 4 children (generation 2), i.e. your grandparents who were all siblings. This is, of course, an extreme example, unlikely and intended only for illustration. In fact, however, this has necessarily happened in generations that are far enough apart that incest is not so clearly evident. The Oedipus complex is therefore not imaginary. Euripides was apparently very well aware that the theory of the binary generation tree could not stand, and he wrote his emotional drama on this basis. So mating between relatives is what reduces the aforementioned theoretical number of ancestors.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">***</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Here the question arises in how many generations before us such incest is necessary. It depends on the “critical mass” or available population. Let’s say the population is limited to 2 million people (the case of Slovenia). If we wanted to preserve purity or "autochthony" in Slovenia, such ethnic perfection could only last until a certain generation. We quickly guess that this is the generation 21, since 221 = 2097152, or close to two million. If generations alternate every 25 to 30 years (which is the average age of women at childbirth), that means that “indigenousness” ends in a period somewhere between 525 and 630 years ago. The attentive reader will notice a discrepancy in this calculation, since so many years ago there were no two million inhabitants in Slovenia. Mathematicians would say it is a nonlinear problem. Nevertheless, it is only a matter of a couple of generations of difference, so that we can safely assess: autochthony in terms of nationality does not extend beyond year 1500. What was before that was the minestrone of various tribes, feuds, families and castes. The proverbial 1000-year-old dream of the nation's identity, if it ever existed at all, took place partly in foreign minds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">However, I remembered another, let's say "national", case. It is a phenomenon of Easter Island. You know those imposing huge stone heads stuck in the ground all over the island, staring so enigmatically at the sea and triggering mystical feelings in the observer, unanswered questions about the World, the Universe and Everything in general. The civilization of Easter Island collapsed even before the island was discovered by Dutch sailors. It allegedly ended up miserably, with wars and cannibalism. The apocalyptic explanation for this is that the inhabitants perished when they used up all the natural resources, mainly by chopping down the trees needed to transport the megalomanic statues. But, I have a different explanation. What if these monumental figures, and the consequent collapse of civilization, are only the result of imbecility caused by incestuous relationships due to the limited population of this small and isolated island?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Let us briefly mention asexual reproduction. This is rare in the human race. According to known data it is limited to a single case of immaculate conception – and even this becoming a dead end without children - but it is quite common among lower animals. Parthenogenesis simplifies the process of reproduction, as it does not need a partner and the associated complication of behavior, but on the other hand drastically reduces the number of ancestors: in each generation we have only one ancestor. So it's no wonder that sexual reproduction is so favored in nature: the sheer number of ancestors in sexual reproduction ensures the diversity, mutations, and evolution of which we are - the self-proclaimed pinnacle of creation.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">***</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But, however probable or improbable the number of generations and the number of our ancestors is, we can in no way deny the fact that the continuous series of sexual and asexual generations that defines us goes far beyond in the past than we are able to comprehend. Each of us is thus a product of an inconceivable number of births, technically speaking cell divisions, romanticaly speaking of love relationships, and for the rest of us it means a startling discovery of a monumental personal history that is unequivocally written in the space-time database of the universe.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And so with that realization I experienced, I can say, an enlightenment. How ridiculously simple now seems to me the wisdom radiated by the Dalai Lama, Christ, or Buddha as he sits quietly under a banian tree. Me too am sitting today quietly in a restaurant, drinking coffee and I am no longer bothered by the noise of sound pollution from near and far. Even the brigades of motorized leaf blowers that are running through the streets of Ljubljana these autumn days can no longer bother me. I am now immersed in more important affairs. On the space history player, I press the "fast rewind" button and watch amazing scenes in high HD quality. There, in the Jurassic jungle, under the shade of a tree fern, two velociraptors from the m-th generation jump on their mother, a brontosaurus from the generation m+1. Pure pedophilia, we would say in horror today, but the history of nature knows no morality. I push the button again, the picosecond records of the universe spinn a couple of million years back, and I’m already watching my mother, a viviparous lung-fish, giving birth to tadpoles in the hot tidal belt of the Pleistocene Sea. I count 217 of them. But one catches my eye, hiding from predators among the flooded kelp sacs. I take a closer look and – my god! - through the transparent body, a profile that is incredibly similar to mine is already emerging. No wonder, since this is my father number 245078622. How proud I am of him!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">P.S. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">When it comes to the issue of life, let's touch on another topic, which - interestingly - somehow mentally and politically coincides with the issue of abortion. It is a question of a "decent burial". The beginning (life) coincides with the end (death). As far as I am concerned, my dignified burial can keep up with the general style of my life, that is, as minimalist and as unobtrusive as possible. If they cremate me, I think that's pretty decent. And most of all, practical. Of my 70 kg, 69 kg will go into the air, so it will automatically be distributed globally around the planet - which is my purpose or the meaning of a decent burial. Even the pharaohs could not have imagined greater globalization. The remaining kilogram of ashes, instead of being carried it the urn (which, by the way is about the same weight as the ashes and is therefore against the first axiom of minimalists: "the container should be at least 3 times lighter than the contents, otherwise it is unnecessary") by the guardians of moral rights to dignity, can be thrown straight in the trash. There is no need to make a theater out of it and perform a drama of spreading the ashes in rivers or seas, or even - God forbid! - closing one container (i.e. the urn) into another (i.e. into a grave). I have always been against unnecessary duplications. Only so much care must be taken that the ashes are thrown into the correct bin. I think it should be the brown one for biological residues, but just in case, check it with the official authorities beforehand, because it really is not my intention to impose a fine on my posteriors for improper waste disposal.</span></p><br />iikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08044746367328550812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013020501636540583.post-2316311759283064232021-01-30T00:10:00.007-08:002021-03-27T11:58:54.137-07:00Sunset hunters<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ruLLqH6o5hssrIZeRAPb5z1wglA9V01OpXa8FztzcoFiBxe0H8dbGdaaZIY_TbDtGzyVvJ45fJ-z1GZYKZp8qTeIph6X7TxJ9Kb2qkTpzu2rxlCN8Yjdl6lOW7X_ctwbTeSss9oIE_i1/s590/Voyager2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="332" data-original-width="590" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-ruLLqH6o5hssrIZeRAPb5z1wglA9V01OpXa8FztzcoFiBxe0H8dbGdaaZIY_TbDtGzyVvJ45fJ-z1GZYKZp8qTeIph6X7TxJ9Kb2qkTpzu2rxlCN8Yjdl6lOW7X_ctwbTeSss9oIE_i1/w400-h225/Voyager2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sun(set) on Saturn</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The day was coming to an end. In about two minutes most of the sky would turn to black. There was so much time to observe the sunset. The sight was fantastic. Looking down from the high position the clouds below were glowing in shades of gray and yellow. One great swiveling cyclone formed in the clouds, but it was high enough that the sound of winds was subdued. In the distance the star - our sun - was shining with rather cold light. It appeared minuscule and was hastily sinking below the horizon. The whole right half of the sky was filled with unnaturally regular elliptic white strip, looking like an edge of a giant porcelan saucer, freshly taken from the pottery wheel. The saucer was ornamented with two black, sharp and perfectly elliptical lines, which extended throughout the whole sky. The sunset ended rapidly, but the giant saucer remained illuminated for another hour. It was a sunset on Saturn.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">***</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">No human ever witnessed the sunset on Saturn. It was the spacecraft Voyager 2 that recorded the sunset and sent photographs to Earth. Sunsets on Saturn nevertheless happen. They happen all the time, and as Saturn's day is only 11 hours long, they are more frequent then Earth's sunsets. There is no reason not to enjoy the sunset on Saturn. If Voyager can do it, we can do it too. So, next time when the sky in your place on Earth gets covered and you are unable to see the sun, just transport yourself (mentally, if not otherwise) 1280 million kilometers in the direction of Saturn and enjoy the spectacular view. After all, as they say "it's all in the head", isn't it?</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>iikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08044746367328550812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013020501636540583.post-77504752097281120532021-01-20T00:32:00.008-08:002021-01-21T00:12:11.434-08:00We humans are social beings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGSMqBkuNNq7agGQI6dZtscLIZFtgbGPG-TMlE_KgIQdnj3y8zgO_rwGPT9sjyLlRVHfGccdKfG5ambwzIXHps4rAOHi_fOTlOof80e1OBT0I5ZwZUpXfqEDE2CsmyccdffWCrNwd3Fjo/s1200/People-India.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="806" data-original-width="1200" height="269" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmGSMqBkuNNq7agGQI6dZtscLIZFtgbGPG-TMlE_KgIQdnj3y8zgO_rwGPT9sjyLlRVHfGccdKfG5ambwzIXHps4rAOHi_fOTlOof80e1OBT0I5ZwZUpXfqEDE2CsmyccdffWCrNwd3Fjo/w400-h269/People-India.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This is a sentence that gets on my nerves. Being a cynic, I am annoyed by empty rants, and this sentence is repeated over and over again without any added value. My new year's promise however was to become less <span style="text-align: left;">cynical and kinder person - though solely because of my health, not because </span><span style="text-align: left;">of any special philanthropy. Therefore, I will deal with the above statement now, before I become so kind that - God forbid - it starts to make</span><span style="text-align: left;">sense to me. I don't know anything about sociality, but that's no </span><span style="text-align: left;">problem, since a complete outsider can become an expert in any field after </span><span style="text-align: left;">only a few hours browsing the internet. So let me start with some surfed </span><span style="text-align: left;">theory.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The theory of self-determination defines three basic psychological needs: (1) <b>autonomy</b> is the need to have our own interests guiding our behavior; (2) <b>competence</b> is the need to find appropriate challenges and to make progress; (3) <b>connection</b> is the need to connect with others, to belong and to be emotionally secure. The need for relationships with others is interpreted in three ways: (3a) the need for <b>affiliation</b> (to feel love and acceptance from social groups); (3b) <b>social exchange</b> (in relationships we look for a tangible or intangible rewards and we are willing to invest something for it); (3c) a <b>sense of self</b> (our emotions and beliefs are built on past relationships). Life forms that work well together are more viable and able to continue their genes. Strong social ties are associated with longer life, and social</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">isolation with poorer health, depression and the risk of a shorter life. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">This is the theoretical framework of the thesis about social beings. It only shows the positive side of the medal, the negative side is obviously less emphasized, though I have to admit that I didn't make a special effort to find it - I'll add it myself.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">In resolving life's dilemmas, my favorite method is to look to animals (or plants, stones) after clarification. Some animals are social: ants, bees, corals, a herd of wolves; others are antisocial: spiders, mantises, bears, snakes, eagles. Some types of sociality are more emphasized as others. Social </span><span style="font-family: arial;">insects e.g. have specialized castes that complement and even genetically differentiate, and on the other hand a lone wolf might just survive alone.Plants are mostly antisocial, and stones too. Viruses (and bacteria) are antisocial, although they come in huge numbers. Life forms are thus so diverse that the evolutionary trend toward the social behavior is not evident. Living beings are always social at least in reproduction, although this can also be done in a non-social way, e.g. as impersonal release of sperm into the environment in case of corals, shellfish or plants.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Sociality in the broader sense can be understood as any relationship between individuals, such as in feeding. Therefore, we can say that we are social even when we sit alone at a table and eat a steak or a soy polpet. Feeding is otherwise a conflicting relationship because the individual who is the food </span><span style="font-family: arial;">dies in the process. In general, the conflicting relationships are in majority: for example, in the series 7 worlds - 1 planet I counted 89% of conflicting relations between animals (48% fighting for food, 19% for territory, 15% for partners and 7% for gene continuation) and 11% non-conflicting (7% care for young and 4% interspecific symbiosis). Sociality is supposed to help overcoming stress, but paradoxically, most of the stress stems from conflicting social relationships. Sociality is therefore </span><span style="font-family: arial;">both a problem and a solution. That everything is not rosy in social world turned out during the covid-19 pandemic. People were forced into sociality in their own homes, and that, in addition to depression, led also to increased violence, including murder.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The extreme notion of sociality, however, could be this: everything in nature is social because everything is interconnected. A hydrogen atom could be asocial because it has only one electron, but already a helium atom has 2 electrons and is hence social. But even hydrogen has one proton, so it also </span><span style="font-family: arial;">socially cooperates with its electron. Don't let this seem absurd to you: something like that is announced in this <a href="http://factmyth.com/factoids/humans-are-hardwired-to-be-social-beings/">link</a>. But if the whole universe is social, then sociality is not a noteworthy property at all because it is all-encompassing. Clearly, the sentence about sociality in the title does not aim so universally, but rather it only speaks of the fact that people cannot survive without social contacts of "higher order". The higher order of contacts is understood as "soft", emotional contacts that are not directly related to material survival such as food or reproduction. Emphasizing sociality also implicitly hints at superiority of the social species on the evolutionary scale. That is just another expression of the narcissism and </span><span style="font-family: arial;">self-praise so characteristic of the human race. On the other hand, the definition of sociality could be "dependence", i.e. that the individual cannot survive alone. In this sense, sociality is a handicap, shortcoming and therefore inferiority. In nature, of course, there is neither evaluation nor morality, but if we have to judge, then from the point of evolution the most valuable species is the one that survives the longest. But this cannot be the human species, if for nothing other, then because of a small, awkward </span><span style="font-family: arial;">detail: in our gut there are billions of bacteria that will live for at least a few hours after the last human dies.</span></div>iikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08044746367328550812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6013020501636540583.post-11869077204734204882020-09-23T07:13:00.007-07:002021-07-11T06:56:43.793-07:00The ROT project - Root Of Time<div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSBYWYKF4qwwctjAvI0iTQCm7mleypxe0HTph1fUF3iA2btace5ZDS6f3tVh_GJPTvXaPMw8hEq2jkLQp12CYvCtUaQ2hS9JLFbH8mGQ-pKfqteBra1Jt8T1cRDvRghVSANBgHPayahsMc/s964/Rot2.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="964" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSBYWYKF4qwwctjAvI0iTQCm7mleypxe0HTph1fUF3iA2btace5ZDS6f3tVh_GJPTvXaPMw8hEq2jkLQp12CYvCtUaQ2hS9JLFbH8mGQ-pKfqteBra1Jt8T1cRDvRghVSANBgHPayahsMc/w400-h235/Rot2.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Visual evidence of the past 11 and a half years.</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">"Distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent </span><span style="font-family: arial;">illusion" wrote Albert Einstein just a month before he died. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Not a surprising statement for the author of the relativity theory.

For now I will just </span><span style="font-family: arial;">agree that time is thus only an illusion, but the progression from the past to </span><span style="font-family: arial;">the future (and not vice-versa) is really hard to dismiss. Can we have a </span><span style="font-family: arial;">simple and clear visual evidence of the past? If I take an empty plank at the </span><span style="font-family: arial;">start and put a nail in it at regular time intervals, then the accumulation of </span><span style="font-family: arial;">the nails on the plank can be such an evidence.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Instead of the plank I took a tree root. For the time interval I chose a week. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Every Sunday I would put a nail (more likely a screw) in it. The root is big </span><span style="font-family: arial;">enough for 784 screws, 784 weeks, 5488 days or 15 years. That is the estimated </span><span style="font-family: arial;">time of the rest of my life - based on life expectancy for men of my age. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Screws in the root should form a path, so that past can be traced back to </span><span style="font-family: arial;">every individual moment (week). To make this path more traceable, I should</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">paint the heads of the screws sequentially with eight colors: black, dark </span><span style="font-family: arial;">blue, green, light blue, red, violet, yellow and gray. Alternatively, instead </span><span style="font-family: arial;">of painting the screws' heads I could draw a path between points on the root </span><span style="font-family: arial;">colored with eight colors. In that case I would not need screws at all. But </span><span style="font-family: arial;">screws add a bit of dramatic and solid sense.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Before actually starting this lifelong project, I made a computer simulation. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">On the plane model of the root I generated a mesh of quadrilaterals with </span><span style="font-family: arial;">approximately 784 nodes. I chose a starting node for the first screw </span><span style="font-family: arial;">(at the bottom left) and then simulated the path (should I say the time?) so that </span><span style="font-family: arial;">the next screw was in the next closest node.

There's been an explosion of cooking activities in the media in the last years. Culinary gurus from various backgrounds are emerging from every nook and cranny and fascinate us with their unique masterpieces. Cooking product resembles more a work of art then edible food, requires mind-blowing number of pots, pans and procedures to create it and almost a novel to explain how to do it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
There is a permanent oscillation between specification and generalization in human history, and while it might be nice to have a recipe for reindeer's spleen sautee from North Tungusia with all its details, I suspect that cooking is not a rocket science and can be reduced to few basic tasks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
After all, no matter how artistic your food looks on the plate, it will blend already in your mouth, will hit your stomach as a paste, and there will be no difference whether it was cooked in a Michelin 3-star restaurant or it came from a tube which they use on a space station.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
My minimalist cooking follows few basic principles: (a) food should be prepared in only one dish (possibly temporarily removing (P-Remove) or adding (P-Add) some ingredients between the cooking dish and the serving plate); (b) recipes include ingredients (I-), procedures (P-) and heat media (M-) which are organized into few basic groups; (c) recipes could be generalized so that some or all of the ingredients may be replaced with some other; (d) recipes are written in a short, symbolized form in a line or two and should be read at a glance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">
This approach should be clear from the following one-page cue-sheet. It starts with a table that explains the formulation of ingredients, procedures, heat treatment and tasks (tasks are applied sequently, but optionally skipping or repeating some of them; brackets ([]) indicate an optional part). The cue-sheet includes 19 general and 14 specific recipes in a form of colored tasks. In this generalized form it can be used as a quick reference or as an incentive to invent new recipes by (randomly) choosing different ingredients and tasks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBHsHZp_IK7ajILWt484eBmTkGBBj4uSL042wGTtDJl_DUNSscBOihfl0S2-BY7gP3OwBa4n93oux2G94efUsItrsH6ognZwlOgvNhlO4cVBYPtwgrtA1rIKSjfPdbIcxgdJYgYTRo23z9/s1057/Cooking.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1057" data-original-width="754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBHsHZp_IK7ajILWt484eBmTkGBBj4uSL042wGTtDJl_DUNSscBOihfl0S2-BY7gP3OwBa4n93oux2G94efUsItrsH6ognZwlOgvNhlO4cVBYPtwgrtA1rIKSjfPdbIcxgdJYgYTRo23z9/s16000/Cooking.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">However, I realized that this might be too cryptic for many of you and a sample explanation is needed.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">WTF<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> has Coronavirus to do with MiniBe? Did I "mak-a a mistak-a"? No, Coronavirus is perfectly suitable for the introductory post in this blog abut minimal way of living. Virus' size is about 1 micrometer. It has reduced its structure down to the basics, the pure parasitic DNK, to the border line between living and non-living things. It can't get more minimal than this! Yet, this minimal, mindless thing manages to almost crush the civilization of the most glorious species in the evolution of life (by its own proclamation, though). Which makes you wonder if "purpose" or "intelligence" really matter. So let the virus be the star of the opening post of this blog.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I simulated the epidemics by a simple model, which I will discribe here in short. During the epidemic the virus spreads in the population P. At a certain time there are four non-overlapping groups of people in the population. N are the people who haven't been affected by the virus, but are susceptible to infection. C are the contagious: people infected by the virus who can spread the disease to susceptible. D are those who were infected and died. R are those who were infected, recovered and became immune (i.e. are not susceptible). We also define a group A=C+D+R, i.e. people affected by the virus in any way. The groups are related by: P=N+C+D+R=N+A. Epidemic ends when C=0.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The basic parameters of the epidemic are the contagiousness c, mortality m and survival s. The virus spreads in a day i by new infections ΔAi from the group C according to the rules:</span></span><br />
