Language, arbitrary signs, science and religion

I cannot spell a lot of words because English spelling is treacherous. Which of these words are not spelled correctly: Colonel, ache, hark, harken, mispelled, buffay, ryme, cloathes, whair, profesor, bizzy, forteen, fourty, supercede, conceed, procede, idiosyncracy, concensus, dette, doute, accomodate, impressario, irresistable, rhythym, opthalmologist, diptheria, anamoly, afficianado, grafitti, preceeding, wun, and wunce? Only 84% of English spellings conform to general pattern while 400 irregular spellings occur! It was possible to tell where in Britain a letter or manuscript had been written from observing the spellings until the printing press was adopted. English spelling were being standardized as the language was having a phonetic seizure that results in a body of spellings that reflect the pronunciations of people living 400 years ago. Noah Webster drove standard spellings and lobbied Congress to make it a legal requirement, making America the first country in history to have deviant spelling a punishable offense. All but the first three of the words listed in the second sentence are misspelled.

I cannot recall peoples name because the proper name is arbitrary. The name Fred does not resemble a human. As far as that goes, the word horse has no resemblance to a horse. This arbitrary significance of words defines the difference between human language and animal communication. Signs are arbitrary in contrast with animal signals. Signals relate to its object whereas signs define an object with language. Signs subsist in language as a representation of the world. The qualitative difference between human language and animal systems is signs indexed and learned through association with their object. Jewish and Hebrew concept of a name is something that conveys the nature and essence of the thing named. It represents a history and reputation of the being named; not merely an arbitrary designation. Possessing speech is essential to our concept of intelligence and being human.

Language reliably creates new combination of ideas to arise in our minds. Words shape events in our brain. The Origin of Species was submitted by Charles Darwin in 1859 after he collected twenty years of data on the theory of natural selection. He published The Descent of Man to address the topic of human evolution ten years later yet the origin of language remains speculative and controversial. The Linguistic Society of Paris has not allowed papers on a theory of the origin and evolution of language at scholarly meetings since 1866.

Classical languages, Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Gothic, Celtic, and Persian, are intricate and complicated in grammatical form as contemporary languages. Every culture has a highly sophisticated languages capable of naming or discussing whatever occurs around them. The origin of language remains speculative as the chronology of evolution leaves few traces on the human skeleton. Everything is based on conjecture. The theory based on the same source origin is based on a hypothetical mother tongue. Latin evolved into the Romance languages of French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. Romance language is simpler not more elegant. Forty-three words make up fifty percent of the most common words and 9 accounts for 25% of the words in most written samples. They are: and, be, have, it, of, the, to, will, you.

English is the global language of discourse in business, science, education, and politics with 95% of the world’s airlines using the international language. A list of English terms that are universal include; airport, passport, hotel, telephone, bar, soda, cigarette, sport, golf, tennis, stop, okay, weekend, jeans, know-how, sex appeal, and no problem. English is flexible with a richness of vocabulary not found in other languages. The available synonyms give English vocabulary distinctions unavailable in other tongues. The French cannot distinguish a house from a home or a mind and brain; Spanish between Chairman and President; Italians have no wishful thinking, Russians nothing for efficiency, have fun or take care. Japanese sentences usually have no subject. French and German languages do distinguish knowledge that results from recognition and knowledge that results from understanding.

English versatility leads to perplexing rules of grammar. No reliable measurement of quality or efficiency exists in any language. A notable characteristic of English is its deceptive complexity. English also adopted words as needed. The pronouns they, them and there are Scandinavian. Anglo-Saxon names were adopted for humble trades like a baker, miller or shoemaker. French names were adapted for skilled trades like mason, painter or tailor. English names were given to field animals like sheep, cow and ox. French names to animals cooked and on the table like beef, mutton, veal, and bacon. The hundred most common words in English are Anglo-Saxon.

Every reconstructed language is sophisticated and complete from an evolutionary point of view. The emergence of syntactically mature language reflects evolutionary developments of the brain all at once in language. Brain knowledge may supersede religion for cosmology or natural science; humans remain capable of unscientific thought and scientific thought.

Religion is not useful for thinking about the gravitational interaction of celestial bodies since the Renaissance but remains the basis of metaphysical philosophy to understand processes of language and thought. Scientific thinking occurs under conditions of metaphysical peace and faith maintains the preconditions of this peace in the ethical reality of human social life. Religion remains indispensable for thinking about the ethical interaction of human beings. The first hypothesis of human origin is in the Biblical creation presentation and reflects an understanding science has not mastered.

My Poems

Emotional Reaction at Electromagnetic Velocity

She was sparking with electrical excitement
Inducing my own strong magnetic incitement
Transcending every force with a shared curiosity
Moving with phenomenal electromagnetic velocity

Emitting innocence in her spectrum of heated attractions
Oscillating wildness transverse her transmitted infractions
Energetic waves propagating her visible satisfactions
Frequency vibrations visibly reflecting her reactions

Words unable to explain this wave of insanity
Theory can merely model our coupled vanity
Exotic encounters shifted and twisted awry
Moving perpendicular before an explosive cry

She was propagating sincerity deep from her eyes
With a waving intensity reflecting my new highs
Emitting light in a short period of shocking surprise
With scorching pain oscillating from her goodbyes

A Paradox of Positive Expectations

An edge is a risk with a positive expectation
And gambles vary with a standard deviation
When attempting sure betting given the edge
A betting decision carries risk of loss pledge

Risk adverse bets accompany sure gain
Edge bet chances a loss that causes pain
Risk seeking bets favor against sure loss
As preference to chance trumps real costs

Investment comes with risks immeasurable
Gambling is uncertainty easily measurable
Risk seeking deals offer improbable gains
An unlikely loss causes risk adverse pains

Risk of positive expectation can carry hostility
At revelations from impossibility to possibility
Or crossing at the possibility to certainty scale
Positive expectations yet risk probabilities fail

Randomness of Life Create Delusions of Morality and Ethics

Random encouragement attains moral maturity in life's game
Yet delusion suggests morality creates praise and blame
Random influences creates a delusion with every virtue or vice
Yet hail virtuous and fault vicious to justify culturally nice

Random acts influence culture growth of morality to unfold
Yet respective virtue and vice is environmentally controlled
Random living creates a outlook of cultured ethical relevance
Yet ethics of emotional morality ends with delusional irrelevance

Randomness demands control to develop a cultural environment
Yet ethics praises virtue or blames vicious cultural development
Randomness of influencing delusions reflect virtue or vice
Yet relations begin of chance with a self-interest price

Moonlight Gaze

Your eyes wide and soul tight
with a wolf in the moonlight
features flowing of a flower
air of peace within your power

Lying in snow weighed by a ton
under a tree by a frozen pond
your eyes wide and body tight
with a wolf under the moonlight

Features flowing in full power
air of peace within your flower
laying in the hay sharing in fun
with that wolf licking your bun

-1st revision

A wolf howling in the moonlight
Your eyes wide and soul tight
Features gleaming like a flower
Air of peace within your power
Cozy viewing the stars beyond
Under a tree by a frozen pond

Friends In Flight with Strangers

a short flight of shared conversation is had
a memory's pleasure can be so happy yet sad
a shared experience is memory each will own
a memory better than again flying home alone
a shared moment of memory like a secret need
a surface emotion stretches breathless indeed
a memory candlelight strange on shadowy faces
a fond time recalled in minutes at hour paces
a shared time together jetting away further
a place in flight linked one seat to another

Tantalizing Shadows

Tantalizing shadows harmonize in the sunset lighting
Sparkling droplets gleaming from asunder sighting
Glowing faces formed in the shadows of a sunset sky
Heartthrob enchanting clouds descend twilight high

Tantalizing shadows driven from the heat of passion
Birds in song with animals crying in harmonic fashion
All conspicuous but nothing spoken as shadows close
Embracing gently touching in passion felt in the toes

Tantalizing shadows dancing in emotional eyes
Intimate emotions of soul daunting shadows arise
Embracing passion from this seductive history
Dusk engulfs passion diminishing with mystery

Tantalizing shadows of unity cumulate nimble
Shadows sway the earth beneath to even tremble
Erupting volcanoes glowing red in a darkened sky
Eclipses surrounding nature kindle mountain high

Tantalizing shadows radiantly glow in the night
Nature soars to a twilight dance of a firefly light
Alluring eclipses neighboring together into one
Gentle passion overwhelms emotion on the run

How

How careful was my path in nature which led me to play
How careful was my wink when my eyes saw best to stay
How can my thoughts remain unlike the desires of life
How can nature brand me when Cupid suggests strife
How can woman's face of nature not stir a man's fire
How can beautiful creatures not increase this desire
How against nature can desire be absent in spring
How against my spirit is the meaning of that ring
How against my mind can I restrain a lustful heart
How against my creature lust can desire just part
How expensive is my desire that leads into shame
How expensive to my spirit can haste be to blame
How expensive to my comfort what riddles despair
How expensive to justify a call of life so unfair
How unlike desire missing has my absence been
How unlike nature can my natural conscience sin
How unlike love does my desire lead toward hate
How unlike petty nuance can liberty halt my fate
How in the chronicles of life was my desire wasted time
How in the love for passion can my lust become a crime

Master Control

Freedom is simply allowing all your desires to cease
Only your will harms yet judgment disturbs your peace
Desire outside your power to reach a state of anxiety
Secure freedom lost to desire by losing impropriety

Desire anything to be disappointed by what you seek
Attachment agonizes as it is taken when you are weak
Decisions of will is the cause of action not the pain
Grieve not to seek but rejoice in the things you gain

Be invincible of event disturbances beyond your will
Opinions of the action dictates the way that you deal
Harm is beyond will where happiness is from you alone
Master will to be free of desire of that not your own

Twenty-fifth Anniversary

25 years we have shared a lasting peace
With years of pleasure on the increase
As a river deepens with its water flow
Did our love channel from head to toe

The river deepens and grows so strong
25 years of our growth is not that long
With your feelings deep from the heart
Giving our children a very strong start

A wonderful woman sharing my life
My house a home because of my wife
25 years building our lasting light
Each year providing greater delight

With our affection in strong release
Comes a joy that brings about peace
And my thoughts reminds me of who
25 years were lucky to share with you

Rives grows deeper like our passion
Together we share a unique fashion
Sharing time on earth with a friend
Stronger together at the rivers end

Death Rider

In came death looking for a rider
I strolled over and sit down beside her
In turn she bit me like a black widow spider
I responded like song to music in tune to bite her

Soul seeks to calm desire

A Princess soul senses that it is going from whence she came
She and her knight return to a path with that goal their aim
The good against the evil drives what she will seek or avoid
She and her knight travel a road that she thoroughly enjoyed

Deep within a Princess' soul is calmness to violence she fears
She and her knight repeat a walk in time that every step nears
That reason distinguishes from undesirable to one she aspires
She and her knight together tame her madness of mixed desires

Invitation in Hopes to Toast to Cheers

Will she want to accept or want to cry?
Will she excitedly wait or wonder why?
Will she share a drink or want a round?
Will she start to chat or make a sound?
Will she cry a tear yet not complain?
Will she need tears to reveal her pain?
Will she talk to me like I'm a knight?
Will she share a drink to my delight?
Will she cry a long night of tears?
Will she enjoy so to seek souvenirs?
Will she make her way on in to town?
Will she seek a toast or see a clown?
Will she accept fondly or want to cry?
Will she hope to forget or remember why?
Will she smile or be subject to fears?
Will she really want to toast to cheers?

Share a poem drinking Jeroboam

Let me share a drinking poem
The words you probably know'em
Like wild oats you’ll sow'em
After we’re drinking jeroboam

Let me share with you a poem
In a short time you’ll know'em
Like wild oats I can sow'em
While we're drinking jeroboam

Beautiful Departure

Give’em a kiss at the end of your stay
Leave’em a smiley face on your way
Your touch gives more than words can say
Thoughts of you makes continuous replay

Give’em special time even as you depart
Let’em sense your soul touch their heart
Your heart and soul holds on to their mind
Thoughts of you makes the world seem kind

Special are the Times that End with a Kiss

If you will kiss me to end your stay
My smile will see you on your way
A touch is more than words can say
Thoughts of you in continuous replay

Special is our time before you depart
I sense your soul even touch my heart
To share our time is a world so kind
Your heart and soul holds my mind

Striking young woman

Striking young woman whose beauty endures
Powerless are my eyes being drawn into yours
Desiring your trust drives my mind to think wise
Wishing to become lost in your dark brown eyes

Hearing your voice pleasures like music of a song
Touching you motivates a loving desire so strong
Living comes and goes while we spend time apart
Desiring thoughts from my eyes beat in my heart

Seeing love in those dark brown eyes is my goal
Feeling your charismatic eyes penetrate my soul

LIKE A ROSE

To hold your hand gives excitement like energy bred
Your gorgeous presence makes every rose turn red
As those beautiful lips make a rose blush in shame
Your face glows like sunshine warming me just the same
Daydreams delight me so when your images reappear
Oh beautiful rose your voice is like music to my ear

Nature’s Apology

Asking your forgiveness for considering myself only
Sharing my time with you will never leave me lonely
Consulting using my reason rather than an inclination
Sharing a friendship rather than nature’s frustration

Changing remarkably from nature to a civil adult
Befriending by conduct over an instinctive result
Acting with a morality that my prior deeds lacked
Voicing a duty over letting physical impulses react

Keeping your presence is a gift that is ever so great
Stimulating time with you is a life’s developed fate
Sharing our ideas with feelings conferring dignity
Lifting my heart and soul from my grave indignity

Being with you is where my happy moments began
Sharing time as an intelligent being to be your man

Sunbeam Sunrise

Extreme beauty in the way you look
You’d pleasure man even as you cook
Extreme beauty deep from your eyes
You’d pleasure man merely baking pies

Beaming sounds from your voice
Sharing time, man’s favorite choice
Glowing beauty radiates your skin
You’d pleasure man like a mortal sin

Glittering reflections off your face
Walking leisurely you move with grace
Extreme beauty reflects in your heart
You’d pleasure man like the finest art

Sunbeam shadows your shapely size
Projected beauty beyond earth skies
Extreme beauty deep from those eyes
You’d pleasure man more than a sunrise

Dark Choclate

Dark Chocolate, the song I sing
Dark Chocolate for my Queen
Dark chocolate so semi-sweet,
Dark chocolate for your treat.
Dark chocolate just can't lose,
Dark chocolate, you’d choose.
Dark Chocolate, a taste tonight
Dark Chocolate is your delight

Missiles and communications

In the year of my birth, 1957, the Defense Department formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to coordinate science and technology projects with military applications. In 1962 the RAND Corporation was asked to propose a means whereby command and control could be maintained after a nuclear strike. Communications networks was either centralized through a hub or decentralized with a number of hubs where switchboards served as the hubs, which was highly vulnerable to a nuclear strike.

Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles made wars between Great Powers irrational because they were not winnable but twice caused a deep fear, first during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 and then the Yom Kippur War of 1973. From 1976 to 1982, I was involved with Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines as a launcher operator supervisor onboard the USS Robert E Lee, SSBN 601 Polaris and the USS Daniel Webster, SSBN 626 Poseidon. From 1988 until 1998 I was an electrical engineer employed by TRW supporting the MX, Peacekeeper, and Minuteman ICBM weapon systems.

A web of computers called ARPANET was established in 1968 with a total of four computers connected to it by phone lines, three in California and one at the University of Utah. APRA used RAND proposal of a distributed network with no central hubs but nodes that could be wiped out but other nodes still be able to deliver the signal. In 1971 Intel produced the first commercial microprocessor. In 1972 the first e-mail program was designed. In 1973 the TCP/IP protocol was designed. In 1974 the TCP/IP designers called it the Internet. In 1983 while I was an engineering student at the University of Utah, 563 computers were on the net when the University of Wisconsin developed the Domain Name System (DNS) that let any one computer find another.

The geosynchronous satellites of the late 1960s made the world a global village. Overseas phone calls (OPC) numbered about a million in the 1950s and grew to 23 million by 1970. In 1980 there were 200 million OPC with other political and economic consequences, including a unified market trading a trillion dollars daily in major world currencies on average. An international communications cost collapse allowed the world’s financial market to become integrated to function full time as a seamless market. For the first time, he free market could dictate policy of a nation via the international consequences.

By 1990, three hundred thousand computers were connected on the Internet. In 1992, the European nuclear research consortium, CERN, released a web browser, the World Wide Web (www) and the greatest decade of wealth creation in the history of the world began. Primvest provided $5M in venture capital to OnSat where I was employed as the Vice President of Business development, which allowed us to provide Internet connectivity to the Navajo Nations via geosynchronous satellites. I was also acting as a Director with RMWT Telecom. Costs plummeted with the overdevelopment of this time but it allowed growth where 6.3 billion overseas phone calls were being made by 2001. In March of 2000, the bubble begins to burst and by March of 2001 there was a recession in place. On September 11, 2001, there was an attack on the financial capital of the empire of wealth.

Two branches of mathematics

Two branches of mathematics resulted with separation of whole numbers and geometry. Eudoxus used geometry to define lengths, angles, areas, and volumes with irrational numbers as lengths or line segments. Converting all mathematics except the theory of whole numbers into geometry had consequences. From Euclid until 1600, geometry was the basis of all rigorous mathematics.

Mathematics begins intuitive or empirical and remained so until the 4th century BC. Babylonians used numbers without any understanding of decimal approximations.

BC Pythagoras of the 5th century had linked whole numbers and ratios of whole numbers as the way to study nature and insisted the whole numbers were the measure of all things until Hippasus discovered a irrational number or incommensurable ratio. Pythagoreans and the classical Greeks rejected irrational numbers. Classical Greeks believed in the theory of whole numbers with a logical foundation. Deductive mathematic attempts led Euclid to define all his concepts to provide a logical treatment of the whole numbers.

Geometric representation of numbers and of operations with numbers was not practical. The deductive orderly proof of the geometry of Euclid, Apollonius, and Archimedes was merged with the indeterminate class of problems in the works of Diophantus. Classical Greek civilization combined with Egyptian and Babylonian in the period of Alexandrian Greek civilization. Various types of undefined numbers continued to be used to provide empirically correct solutions.

Heron translated much of the Greek geometrical algebra into arithmetical and algebraic processes and provided a formula for the area of a triangle. Hipparchus and Ptolemy created quantitative astronomy with the creation of trigonometry. Arithmetic and algebra emerged without logical structure since it could be used provide empirical results.

Diophantus introduced symbolism in algebraic operations that was entirely arithmetical with no appeal to geometry. He introduced indeterminate equations as a branch of algebra but considered equations producing irrational negative or imaginary roots as unsolvable. Heron accepted irrational quantities; Archimedes put bounds around irrational numbers.

Hindus and Arab advanced arithmetic and algebra empirically. They reasoned by analogy and introduced rules for manipulating irrational numbers without providing any logical foundation favored in classical Greek mathematics. The Hindus introduced separate symbols for the numbers 1 to 9, converted from positional notation in base 60 to base 10, recognized 0 as a number, and used negative numbers.

Europeans of the Renaissance acquired its knowledge of mathematics via the Arabs and Greek manuscripts. They noticed a dilemma presented by the two disparate states of arithmetic and geometry. They realized the utility of arithmetic and algebra of ancient times lacked a logical foundation. Europeans of the 16th and 17th century considered the negative numbers in Arab texts as absurd. Girard and Harriot used the minus sign to describe negative numbers. A negative number is an independent concept, not the operation of subtraction. Using separate symbols would have been better.

Logarithms, complex numbers, mathematical induction, and the binomial theorem were added to the body of algebra without proofs. Algebra became a study of general types of forms and equations when Vieta introduced literal coefficients separating arithmetic and algebra, types from numbers. By the mid-18th century, algebra included many branches.

Soul forever under contract, 666 credit score rating

As nineteenth century America traded liberty for ambition, financial circumstances evolved as categories of personal identity. Imperialism trumped freedom; capitalism made every soul a business. Failure, a language of business, was applied to the soul. Failure was made yet never born prior to capitalism. Now, more outrun failure than chase success as a low ambition offends more than a low achievement. With the Civil War failure grew to mean insolvent. Failure became a sin promoted by the idea that men who failed lacked ability and ambition. Men were always at fault for their failures even though honest dealings and hard work could fail under capitalism.

Failure went from an incident to an identity. A man became nothing more than his occupation. Striving for success became a compulsory virtue and even a sacred duty within religious cultures. Perpetual ambition became self respect and self esteem, where every life was to be lived on the stretch and an easy life could never be good enough.

Men publish the successes of their efforts but shy from sharing failures, a practice of concealment that causes the ruins of many a man as every success is followed by eight failures with a paper trail of common failure hidden within libraries and public archives.

The basis of modern American law, economy, and society is contract theory. Contract became the framework of achieved identity in its supreme place in legal thought. Free man could make deals to advance him and nobody fails who ought not to fail. A contract was a promise to succeed, to uphold your end of a bargain. Any soul freely accepted or rejected contracts, which completely ignores the basic facts of poverty and power.

Legal release from debt violates two rules of capitalism, keeping a promise and taking responsibility when a soul’s actions harm others. An entrepreneur who failed in the early nineteenth century faced inadequate laws, vengeful creditors, and forced idleness in debtor’s prison. Bankruptcy laws voided a debtor’s legal obligations, not a soul’s moral ones. During rampant failure, a contract came to signify obligation but not a promise. A moral obligation was at odds with legal and economic change, yet worth preserving. To enshrine moral obligations was to sequester it unenforceable or ordered from the court.

Bankroll vs Edge and Odds

For a positive expectation bet, you need an edge.
Edge is the amount you expect to win.

For a positive expectation bet, you need the odds.
Odds of 2 to 1 converts to 1/(2+1) fraction

Wagers of positive expectation have size limitations.
Bankroll must be a consideration for making a wager.

Kelly Formula relates 'bet to bankroll' as 'edge/odds'.
Edge/odds formula ignores the effect this wager has.

Arithmetic Mean vs. Geometric Mean

Arithmetic Mean = the sum of 'X' values divided by 'X' = Average.
Geometric Mean = the 'X' root of the product of 'X' values.

Geometric Mean < Arithmetic Mean, except when equal average values.
if Geometric Mean < Arithmetic Mean, then any risk is unfavorable

if an investor trades then zero sum game loses payments in trade
if a gambler makes a fair wager then risk makes wager unfavorable

if you wager or invest then you chose the highest Geometric Mean
if a Gemetric Mean = 0 then you can go to zero and will in time
