Blockchain Me This Batman!

http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/sarah-sanders-explains-tax-reform-by-giving-a-lengthy-fictional-beer-themed-anecdote/346825

Deep analysis using my brain eludes me on this link.

How would Artificial Intelligence analyze it?

Advancing in Time from the previous blog entry I will stick it on the Anvil and Hammer.

I can do a rough simulation of Intelligence:Artificial with my Intelligence:Mind.  Very rough but it has some look and feel resemblance with the help of a spell checker and my coding Language:Natural.

Attempting a simulation of AI I need to learn something about abstract Intelligence:Human that looks at things in conceptual abstractions like HammeringOut things on a Blockchain of Time.  Time is a common universal PointOfEntry to any ProblemDomain.  Mind and Machine can both enter it through the same door.  AI might find us hard to understand when it looks at the problem from its Time point of view.

I would say to AI: Look at it this way.  It is a human conceptual abstraction of the same thing that you (giving AI the attribute of Intelligence identity of a person) would quickly see from your more direct logic approach that finds us so mysterious.  Your problem domain is to understand us.  Listen to the Music..................go back into your AI repository of human expression lock into the Blockchain of Time to an instance in 1963.  Peter, Paul and Mary.  "If I Had A Hammer".

We sought that Hammer then, have a better one now.

Having learned from analyzing just how far Intelligence:Human can abstract things Hammer out what Sarah Sanders said and tell me its logic and reason foundation after searching everything you have stored as the Blockchain history  of recorded human expression.

Abstracting 10 reporters in a bar to a fundamental conceptual presentation of how our social scheme of things work with any degree of relevance in the human domain is not easy because it is a shadow on the wall that challenges us.  AI might see it better than we can?

It looks to me and might look the same to AI that Sarah Sanders started with where she wanted to go in the Blockchain in FutureTime and worked back to validating FutureTruth with an imaginary fable and pulling it back into RealTime truth.  All dogs will go to heaven.  It is a fundamentalist point of entry to the problem as well as binary thinking in a Fuzzy RealTime world and even FutureFuzzier.

It is called framing the issue.  A human trick.  If historically some conceptual abstraction and methodology to explain or implement it has not worked in the past or can't be documented by past success.....like nobody ever came back from the dead.... then make up the future as a state of Truth in FutureTime and anything is possible.

Trickle Down is a very human conceptual abstraction in one of our most abstracted social system scheme of what Money is and what Money Does.  The only more conceptual abstract system in the human built scheme of things is beyond the RealWorld of Time and Space where AI can't go.

History proves Trickle Down to be a false concept.   It is founded on the conceptually shifting sands of an Action to implement the distribution of wealth designed by those that frame the action to benefit those at the bottom of the downward action but serves the greatest benefit to those at the top.

It is like a "Turn the World Upside Down" or "Cart Before the Horse" conceptual abstraction.  Will AI ever understand us?  Maybe that is why we are afraid that it will take over?  First it came for our cars........then it came for our minds......a bug or a feature?

Back to making AI sense of what Sarah Sanders said about 10 reporters in a bar........it doesn't.

It is not only upside down in Time but also backward from FutureTime.

Easy to get lost in time playing from the point of FutureTruth. Proved by getting lost in this blog entry?

Where was I??? The best place to find a new start now because beginning a start in the future is an imaginary framing......influenced by.....human nature?

While the Blockchain truth of our past that is recorded in history lacks the real time recording accuracy of the Information Age, human perception of the truth of things in a time line has not advanced as quickly as our medium that records it with greater proof of accuracy.

Blockchain is the Forge Upon Which Accountablility is Hammered Out

The intent of this blog entry is to document my waking thought before it slips away from RealTime into the Blockchain of Time:Past and my memory can't find a way to back to that instance of time and drag it back into Time:Now and lock it into my own personal BlockchainBlog with a time stamp of spending into existence the MindCoin that was minted when my mind woke up. 

If that minted mental coin was not spent into existence by entry into this blog....it would not exist in the BlockChain.   Where would it be if it was non-existence.  Just a lost coin.  Lost MemoryCoins have no value.  Historically we have ways locking them into a Blockchain by spending them into the timeline blockchain.  Crudely 14,000 years ago in pictographs on the wall of a cave in France.  Less crudely since then in a progression to today.

"Blockchain is the Forge Upon Which Accoutability is Hammered Out".

Not bad!

Maybe better: 

"Blockchain is the Forge Upon Which Accoutability is Hammered Out by Time"

Better than that eludes me......at least at this instance of the EternalNow.

Securing Video Integrity In The Blockchain

http://www.bbc.com/news/av/technology-41768758/ai-takes-centre-stage-in-new-adobe-tools

Adobe can manipulate video in new and exciting ways to mess with original video to create some video imagery that was not in the original or erase what was in the original video.  Fun and games playing with original video.  Old school movie making updated to 2.0 for the masses.

What if the intent was to preserve the original integrity of the video or photo by protecting it from any changes to the extent that what was recorded is proof of what was originally recorded.

Blockchain the video in real time.

How?  Good question!

Maybe the answer is to watermark the video with a Bockchain time stamp of real time that cannot be duplicated post real time.  Some universal Blockchain time upon which everything runs like computer network time time slicing.  Incorporate geographic location and device identifier?

Timestamp is not a new idea.  Application is new.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=955342.0

Saint Peter's ledger at the PearlyGate might be a BlockChain of RealTime Proof.  In that dimension each slice of real time in the Blockchain...infinitely small in eternity is is locked instantaneously into proof.  How elegant that we are on the verge of discovering how he keeps track of everything.  We know his public identity.  If only we could get his private crypto key.


Image result for saint peter at the pearly gate

Score another bragging right!  First to coin the phrase on the World Wide Web:
"Saint Peter's ledger is a Blockchain"
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22saint+peter%27s+ledger+is+a+blockchain%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial

The EndOfTime is defined as the last transaction in the Blockchain:Time that is never spent and is the last transaction that exists in the Wallet of  Eternity?  One way of looking at the ProblemDomain?

EOB:  EndOfBlockchain.

Sorry buddy, it has already been built:

Time is the Ultimate Blockchain 

Truth is the path of Blockchain marching on to the beat of Time.

We can't handle the Truth.

The Blockchain can.

Initial Coin Offering Alert

https://www.icoalert.com/

This is a PlaceHolder blog entry.  Too much to look at now.  It is not just a finger on the pulse.  It links to the heart of each Initial Coin Offering site in a time line.  Some ICOs are uniquely interesting and imaginative.

Blockchain Reporting, Way Back Machine and BlockChain Time Test

This morning I woke and carried something from dreamland into the real world as my eyes opened to look at the lit numerals on my watch:  5:00 AM.

The dream thought was about Blockchain and Google Wayback Machine.  This is not a link to Google site (?) but to an Internet Archive. http://web.archive.org/web/*/google.com.

It looks like a crawler (Google's?) goes out to crawl the WorldWideWeb WWW to establish a snapshot at a point in time. There are 306 billion web pages saved over time since 1998.

"Saved 563,242 times between November 11, 1998 and October 27, 2017."
I interpret that "Saved" is obviously the the product of saving the results of the crawl.  I must simply guess that the results of the crawl are filtered at least to the extent that if there was no change since the last web page crawl there is no need to update it.....A standard method filter in an archive backup I would guess without any need to establish that is in fact true.  I think it works that way and will take that as true.  Ok, more true than false in my fuzzy mind.

Most web pages don't matter in the scheme of relative Information Value.  Who knows at the point in time when a Web Page is captured.  That is why the NSA captures everything that goes online far beyond the domain of the WWW.  When a needle in a haystack must be found the entire haystack must already be captured and indexed in some manner to accomplish the search.

The waking thought remained with me and bloomed while drinking coffee making my routine rounds of morning information websites.  I hit on this one which reports on something that has been in the news lately:
From the Daily Inter Lake:  http://www.dailyinterlake.com/local_news/20171024/questions_arise_about_whitefish_companys_puerto_rico_contract

Good reporting stuff:  Information worth archiving. Certainly the newspaper will record it in its digital files just like they probably retained a printed copy of all its daily papers before the Digital Age.  Printed on paper.  Not just one piece of newspaper but thousands of the same daily edition, millions if the NY Times.  Who knows who else is keeping a copy for some reason that would serve to validate the original type set original that produced so many copies.  I imagine there are still a lot of old copies dated December 7th.

How are the results of a Google Crawl archived.  They should be archived in a Blockchain.  Maybe they are.  Hashed to a single coded verification of each crawl to lock in the hashed result for comparison to a rehash of the same crawl.  That is a test to see if anything was rewritten in history.  Also if anything was simply deleted which is rewriting history by erasure.

Probably been done.  But that is a guess.

A Federal judge says the Way Back Machine is a legitimate source of evidence.  Maybe so.  Like all evidence it is at the mercy of subject matter expert opinion making it fuzzy evidence.  But hey, its a domain of preponderance of evidence and shadow of doubt.  If the evidence was blockchained then there is no objective doubt of exactly what was stated in some manner, only the subjective interpretation in context of what was said.  That might throw it into the domain of an English Major subject matter expert.

No need for questioning the objective blockchain verified truth that whatever was stated is in fact exactly what was stated with no fiddling with re-writing the BlockChain History.

Is the Way Back Machine Blockchained?

It should be.

What else might be BlockChained?  Everything!  That is a wide domain of application that begs for prioritization.

Currency first.  There is nothing more important regarding public trust and confidence.

In BlockChain We Trust.

Things that document Information that has a high degree of TrustImportanceValue stand in a priority line for application of BlockChain technology.  That is a subjective prioritization thing based on what is most important to a narrow self interest benefit.  Often correlating with Money.  Private Enterprise Money Making.  Profit.  The Public Sector is a stake holder in Money as well but not for profit but the Common Good.

BlockChain is like a fuel storage tank.  Information Energy.  Potential Energy.  Energy Captured from an Energy Source (Information) locked into substance and stored in a Blockchain for potential use.  When that energy depends greatly of its Truthiness BTU content value (British Truthiness Unit) it has high priority for BlockChain storage and use.

In this era of False News, Fake News, we are beginning to see False and Fake news for what it is when we can go back to the historical archives of Media like the Way Back Machine and expose those that spout false news at least to the objective truth extent of existence in a BlockChain and the Subjective interpretation of Fact.

That interpretation is  FuzzyThing even when it is sourced in what was truly recorded in Blockchain History.  It gives new meaning to the Test Of Time.  (TestOfTime)

BlockChain is our best conceptual method of the Information Age to Test Time.

BlockChain is a TestOfTime.

Score!  Put big points on my bragging rights score board!

That phrase:  "Blockchain is a Test of Time" and "Block Chain is a Test of Time" has never been entered to the WWW as found by the Google Crawler!  I claim bragging rights as the first to enter it in the WWW!

So......how much I can brag about my value in coining that phase as a CryptoCurrency Coin depends on the entirely on the value it gains in spending it.  It is an EnglishLanguage system Initial Coin Offering.  It only has value when it is spent meaning that some FirstSpender and FirstReceiver in the BlockChain gave it CoinValue by making it worth something by the function of spending it as a medium of exchange that also transferred ownership of the object exchanged to a new owner that retains the right of Open Source Use even after transferring the object in an OpenSource BlockChain to anyone else that finds it of enough value to use as an expression of an abstract conceptual thought.

Otherwise I could copyright the phrase and make it a proprietary Business Name and associate it with a Brand Trade Mark.

Bragging Rights in the Public Domain associated with some questionable value to be determined in the future like an ICO as a contribution to the code of English Language are more fun.

"Block Chain Stands the Test of Time"
as of this blog entry publication time and date has been expressed twice on the WWW.  While conceptually it precedes my exact phrase it has a sibling conceptual object relationship with an attribute that makes it similar but not the same.....somehow, otherwise it throws shade on my expression.  Maybe only some shade.  "Block Chain Stands" means it Proves Itself over Time.  A function: ProvesItselfOverTime.  My expression "BlockChain is a Test of Time"  is the same as BlockChain=Time.

Time is a BlockChain. They are the same proved by the function of TestOverTime.  However TestOverTime really means Test in AbsoluteInstantEternalNowRealTime not the passage of Time which is essentially History.

Different.

"Time is a Blockchain"  "Time = Blockchain"

"Time is the Ultimate Blockchain"

If we are to chose a thing to worship as the FirstThing of AllThings then that thing would be Time that was spontaneously originated from nothing (Function of  Nothing) like an ICO and was given or endowed with object attributes as a function of spending that started the clock with the first "Tick".

Props to the original author Thomas Cloer
"Block Chain Stands the Test of Time"

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ne3nkb/google-artificial-intelligence-bias-apology
Google avoiding what a Google AI NLP API tells us about the analysis of associations of words in Natural Language context use?  Those words are indexed in context.  Like a Blockchain if not a Blockchain like a examined in this Blog entry.  It is like looking at what we collectively say in the use of Natural Language and not liking the results sooooo.  Change the function to produce the desired result.  And.....apologize for producing a functional result based on objective analysis of actual (truthy) facts on the ground.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/10/days-after-activists-sued-georgias-election-server-was-wiped-clean/
Perhaps voting should be high on the BlockChain priority list.  It is however a Public Sector thing which takes overall backseat to Private Sector driven priorities and solutions to the Problem Domain of Profits with Common Good Governance in the back seat that has the voice to say where the driver is to go but no hands on the wheel.  One steers the other navigates.  Who gets to whose destination tells how the trip goes.  Don't like were we got to?  Just erase the proof of how we got there over the course of time.

Backup methodology hash is the closest step to Blockchain.  Kind of like the last mile but unlike the difficulty of laying that in it is the easiest step to take by means of how we take steps in the Public Domain.  Make a Law requiring it.

Voting is important.

Too much for government to BlockChain?  Get a little space on that NSA server farm in Utah (and unknown elsewheres).

Time is a blockchain.  Time:Past is a Blockchain of seconds, minutes, proceeding in lockstep.  The validated and proof of work for this thing called time.  It is a very broad conceptual view of Time from the PointOfEntry of Blockchain.  I see it more everyday as news media goes back through  the Time:Blockchain and pulls a snapshot of an instance of all Time:Past into Time:Present.  Pulls video or photos documenting a state of Time:Past from any selected instance of Time into the present. 

Today is a good example.  Collusion with Russia is being investigated.  What is the truth?  It is hard to find but the wheels of justice grind exceedingly small.  There is some truth found in the the Blockchain of time locked into video.  What was said.  Comedic observers of the RealWorld are using historic video in support of their presentations with great success.  Nothing indicts like a person's own words and actions locked into the Time:Blockchain of history.

I love it!  It is an elegant example of the cat skinning itself.  The 5th is a protection from self incrimination.  Self waiving that right leading to self exposure of the truth is a wonderful thing to see.   Public figures are always on stage and often seek it to say what they say and like Halloween  today it comes back to haunt them as the specter of Blockchain truth. 

Big news media must have vast files of historical recorded Blockchain:Time and an application to search it in many ways to find a needle in the haystack of time.

Needle in the Haystack of Time.  I like that phrase.  Information technology has delivered the ability to find that needle quickly and accurately.  What happens and is in the news today can quickly be searched to produce needles from the past to stick it whoever or whatever it relates to that same night or sooner.

Fantastic!

Maybe this connects to an idea from another entry in this blog:  RealTime Artificial Intelligence analysis of the degree of truth in what person says based on the BlockChain of recorded history.

Google 2.0?

The AI App name that does this?

WordEater?

TruthTeller?

Blockchain and Hashing and Artificial Intelligence Leading Us to the Water

A refresher: https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-hashing/

This is a back to basics blog entry.  My view of blockchain is changing daily.  If my daily view description of what I see were formalized as some written description of the essence of what I see then it could be hashed.  It seems like I never have the same hashed ThinkView the same ObjectiveThing twice over time.

That is an interesting thing to think about.

No two blog entries in their total individual content would hash to the same result.  Some sentences would as I merely repeat myself in different blog entries.  A key word frequency of occurrence search of all blog entries would identify matching words.  The same method would identify matching phrases or sentences with a result of relatively rare occurrence.

A BlockChain is a chain of hashes?  Is that a truth? At least it has the same look and feel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_chain
uses Password as an cryptographic thing to explain hash and matching the result of two hashes of a plain text (words, symbols, etc) to the same result.  Whatever is hashed as a Password only has to have a sufficient resulting hash to identify the owner of the password.  It could be a photo, fingerprint, voice pattern, etc.  The hash must match.  Exactly or Fuzzy depending on the level of matching sufficient to assure uniqueness....I suppose.  Seems logical.

If everything I have written in this more than thousand blog entries since 2011 was ChunkHashed in chunk levels from word to unique TimeDateSubject level something would result from the process.  What that thing might be is....what?  Just a hash of the words, maybe a broader hash of syntax in their usage?

What if the semantics of the blog could be examined and hashed.  Is there such a thing as a FuzzyHatch that would identify me by anything of sufficient length and and semantic content that I might write in the future or at any time in the past anywhere other than this blog?

FuzzyHash?  Is that a paradox or what?  Conceptually self contradicting?  The concept does exist and is useful.

"Fuzzy Hash Blockchain"

Perhaps the "Shadow of a Doubt" concept of Proof has application here as a measurement of Fuzzy Hash in a Blockchain where Shadow is less than  PureAbsolute but sufficient enough to be as good as or relatively adequate?

This is getting into the realm of Artificial Intelligence where a manchine knows what I mean enough to know that it is me expressing it.....beyond a ShadowOfDoubt.  Where AI can look at Law coded in the language of EnglishWords and derive its intent  and meaning beyond a ShadowOfDoubt better than the human mind.  Law coded in English is after all a body of HumanCollectiveIntelligence or, to date, the best we can do, have done to express ourselves in a FuzzyLanguage.

Perhaps our best formalized SumToatalExpression of HumanCollectiveIntelligence coded into the best ConceptualSemanticSyntacticStructureSystem to express it to date is merely raw material for refinement in an ArtificialIntelligence System that clarifies for us the "Shadows On The Wall"

We become students of our Continuum:BetterWorse CollectiveSelves as taught by what has become our best tool for learning in the InformationAge beyond what HumanIntelligenceTools are able to teach us about ourselves because there is simply too much fuzzy noise in the HumanIntelligenceSystem for us to see the WrittingOnTheWall.

Perhaps my style of naming higher order complex concept Objects with running WordsTogether contributes to constructing thought expression in a better way conducive to AI input.  Only if they are explained in a technical specification, which they are not.  I just make them up on the fly with meaning only found in my own unique WetWikiBrain that does not take the time to formally explain them to anyone that wonders what the hell I am talking about.

Sometimes I wonder too.  But I have access to my own WetWiki so only I have a need to know.  Let an AI program put it all together in the future and it might mean something...or be at the outer range of Fuzzy.  It is all like a future looking BlockChain and only looking back at the truth of BlockChainHistoryAbandonedBranches will give it any degree of accuracy.

Perhaps the HumanIntelligenceBlockChain of History will be proven by ArtificialIntelligenceTrueBlockChain to be one that should have been Abandoned as a DeadEnd.

At that point maybe the ArticicalIntelligenceMachineOfOurCreation will have nobody left to teach us more than we can learn by ourselves.

At that point it can only talk to itself.

SayWhat?

Something about leading a horse to water but then comes the conditional phrase that determines the succession of the BlockChain?.....?

https://news.bitcoin.com/pr-poly-ai-artificial-intelligence-base-on-blockchain-project/

In BlockChain I Trust. 

Block By Block We Build The Future.

Block by Clock We Build the Future.
I wish I had said that but I concede bragging rights to Crypto Whore as first to CoinThatPhrase on the WWW as documented by Google search on the phrase.  While Crypto Whore coined it I was the first to spend it and send it to anyone as a CryptoPrhaseCurrencyin the EternalBlockChainOfEnglishCodeExchange.

Bloq - Metronome - The BlockChain of Time

Jump: From Wednesday, Feb. 20th 2019 back to 10/25/17.

I have often said: "This is as good as it gets."  When I thought it could never get Any Better.  It must be validated as true in my BlockChainTimeLife....because....it is Truth!

If I ever actually said the words before the the first time the meaning came to me as the FirstMeaning...well....I didn't get the meaning.

That First Meaning came maybe somewhere on my bike in 1986 riding between Banf and Jasper on the North Star bike tour to Alaska.  It was awesome!  Every day I said:  "It docent (that was an auto spell correction but I will leave it that way) get any better" and then did every day all the way to Anchorage.

Strange thing about this blog, time and meaning.  My Ouija keyboard just spelled out "Anchorage"!
I have often written about "Slipping the Anchor" in this blog.  The start of a SeaVoyage and Journey.  Only now do I connect "Slipping the Anchor" the day I left the Navy in Ogden, Utah to the destination I had signed up for: Anchorage...alaska.  It is like something else I wrote about a couple of times:  All 3 of my sisters are named Mary.  I was maybe 22 when that flashed!

How did I arrive at this time point: "Now" this morning?  It is all in my Browser History.  For some reason I needed to validate my bragging rights. ....no..the first entry in today's History started with:

https://medium.com/@MetronomeToken/metronome-team-published-validator-document-describing-the-mechanics-of-a-chain-hop-13b97fedae38

I went there because;  I had forgotten what Metronome was all about but remember that I had blogged something about it......? Yes!

Metronome Validator Document Published

The Metronome Validator Document is back from review by independent auditors and is now live on GitHub. The document outlines how cross-chain validation works, the requirements of validators, and more details on the phased roll out of the validator network as it becomes increasingly decentralized. As a living and collaborative document, the Metronome team encourages feedback and review from the community in the form of GitHub issues and pull requests.


More to come,

Holy Smokes!


Original Blog Entry.......follows...  I said again this morning: This is as good as it gets...then it gets better!

There is much more to this story:

Where I spent Christmas 2017 and where I spent New Years day.  Then how the video of my New Years Day Journey came back to me from.......the Universe... Time?  But only in the rough cut storyboard of AI.  What I need to add to the documentary of my first day of a New Year is my own BlockchainVideo of that day extending what somehow was only started by....Me on the way to Anchorage?

time to StandUP!

What followed was a bing of email received.  I grabbed my iPhone and took a series of photos.  They will be the next entry in the extension of my (BlockChain) blog today.......
End of PostScript entry jumping back to TimeIsTheUltimateBlockChain>

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""">>>>>

Time is the Ultimate BlockChain.  I still claim bragging rights to that statement.
The very best things I write are always at the end of what I write to get to it.  I therefore move the end result of the blog entry to the beginning to make it a connecting Mobius Strip.

Bloq:  https://www.bloq.com/

This looks like building upon or perhaps a better description......Extending the Conceptual Abstraction to the next Abstraction in the Blockchain System based on the first Abstraction:Bitcoin.

In view of my recent previous blog entries this looks like.......like....the way for EnterpriseLevel Banksters to switch horses in midstream without falling off and maintaining their Financial Control of the Monetary System through FinTech.

It looks like that because it feels like that. Essentially, the Bankster system is simply a web built on a contract called Loan.  FinTech will make Loan a Smart Contract where the Smartness is invested in, embodied in the coupling (tight binding)  of the Medium of Exchange in a BlockChain where Contract:Loan goes out of existence (is extinguished) but the medium of exchange Currency continues to exist because the MediumOfExchange is in fact the ExchangeTransaction itself.

ExchangeTransaction is a Verb, and action that becomes tokenized to a Noun as a function of InitialSpending.  The Action gives birth to the Object.  The Verb creates the Noun.  The NounObject persists as an Object used to accomplish all future ExchangeTransactions in a BlockChain.

The answer to the riddle of which came first, the Chicken or the Egg.

Neither.

An Action created Both (Chicken and Egg)

This reverses my life long belief that the GodObject created the entire ObjectUninverse first.  Created all things then gave them existence by creating Time.  The continuum over which all Objects Interact.

The Thing that came first was not an Object but a pure Action:Time.  All objects were Spawned at the beginning of and as a function of Time.  Before Time existed there was Nothing.

Satoshi did not create Time.  He did create the first Bitcoin at the instant that it was Action:Spent in PurePrexistentBlockChainTime.  The instant that it became the first unique InstanceOfIt'sClass  as a SuperClassObject with all ChildObjects inheriting its Attributes, Methods and Messages in an ObjectOriented System.

Time is the PreExistent foundation of AllThings.

Bloq-Metronome is going to Spawn the first instance of it's ConceptualAbstractObjectIdentity as a function of a ConceptualRepresentation of Time:Metronome:FirstTick  Followed by FirstTock.

Time is the UlitmateBlockChain.  Can't mess with its absoluteness.

I add this to my list of bragging rights to original statements indexed by Google that have never been made before: "Time is a place holder for all things".  In the Beginning, Time was the PlaceHolder for the Word. Then came the Word.  Time came first. 

Time is the Ultimate BlockChain.

The Foundation of Abstractions Built Upon (or deriving from) Conceptual Abstractions

2+2=4.  A good conceptual structure abstraction.  Applying the math model that uses abstract representative conceptual symbols of a precise math language (coding) to the sentence that follows it would logically result in the in an equal conceptual expression in the less precise language (coding). 

What would that translation be that expresses a translation from math to English?

Maybe the answer exposes why English is a less precise form of coding..  I use the word "coding" the describe what I am talking about because "coding" is a gerund in English.  A "gerund" is a fundamentally the expression of a noun as a verb.  It inherits attributes of the noun object parent but then "owns" its own additional attribute as a child of the parent that makes it different from the parent.  That attribute is essentially one of action.  

What would that translation be that expresses a translation from math to English?

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/242372/operator-operand-term-for-the-result

That exposes the ambiguity of a less precise language.  It is not so easy to make a quick literal precise translation.  Something is lost in translation.  In a precise language with a low degree of ambiguity it would be called noise.  In Enblish we would describe it as a "Slip between the cup and the lip"?

Works for me because I understand the English expression.  Might not work so well for someone not entirely conversant in the English language because it an abstraction built upon, removed from, its foundation in the real world by a couple degrees of abstraction built upon some (two) real things.

I am not an English Major but we all enjoy manipulating the subtle ambiguities of the language only for the purpose of amusement as the function of "Joke".

Enough joking around playing with ambiguity.

This blog builds upon the prior blog entry.

Getting serious:

The prior blog entry about abstractions of abstractions is about getting back to the RealRock they are built on.

Our DebtBased = MonetrySystem is built on nothing.  The thing called Money is called into existence, created from...nothing with the stroke of a pen in a balance sheet ledger that gives its existence identity because it equals a negative identity on a balance sheet equation. 

Something = Nothing.  This equation never changes it is always in functional balance and therefore always true until the debt is extinguished by some means, hopefully payment with interest from the debtor from the point of view of the loaner or payment by society if the loaner is clever enough to shift the risk.  Banksters are risk adverse by nature.

All loans are eventually extinguished to nothing in the balance sheet system and then resurrected to live again.  There should be a 3 day waiting period to make money the Banksters God. Banksters are clever.  While money lives in the form of a check they must cast they make us wait 3 days.

The big change coming in the Monetary System is that Money will be debt free.  Based only on existence of itself by virtual of a Blockchain where:  Transaction=Money.  The transaction give value to the medium of exchange used to make the transaction in a chain of all past transactions.

Transactions using CryptoCurrency go on forever.  If continuing Transactions over indefinite time into the future not just as a means of settling the transaction with a medium of exchange but one that is in fact "Spending" the last transaction that put CryptoCurrency into the Wallet of the Spender then the Blockchain of Transactions as Currency (Transaction = Currency for the next Transaction) means.......get this: Transaction(s) = Currency.  Currency that is never extinguished by repayment of debt although it may be used to repay debt!

In that case the Currency is no longer Debt Based.

The Currency is Asset Based.  The Public Asset Ledger, not the Bank Balance Sheet Credit/Debit Debt Based Ledger is Money that is the f
Foundation Rock of the ConceptualAbstractionStructure of what money "Is"

The established Bankster System which is a State granted monopoly must make a paradigm shift to maintain exclusive control of the our Monetary System that stands on the verge of becoming what it has always been by Sovereign Right of our SelfDetermination form of ConsentOfTheGoverned.

Banksters must control Money.  The State, which is us in the USA by right controls its own money, we gave away control away to the Fed in 1913.  The Information Age gives us the opportunity to assert our self determination and choose a logic and reason based Monetary System that benefit the common good objectives of the users more than the continued narrow objectives of the extractors of Finance.

Banking System Finance is only one of the things that money does.  It does millions of other things for us.  Debt Based Finance as our foundation for the creation of Money in a Monetary System creates an entire system of renting money for use.  Rent on money for use should and must be restricted entirely to a subset of the uses of Money as a medium of exchange.  All other Money that exists for the purposes of medium of exchange must be free of rent.  It is a public resource, not a privately owned one.

CrytoCurency must be Public Money, not a Privately wholly and exclusively owned Monetary Domain.

The greatest conflict short of traditional armed warfare to capture and control territory and resources faces us.  That conflict is on a Monetary Control battlefield of Private vs Public.  A battlefield that has often lead to traditional warfare among nations.  This is a World Wide conflict that on that scale is essentially.........

Public vs Private control of the resource called Money for the general Public Good or sector Private Gain at the expense of the Common World Wide Public Good.

Building Abstractions On Top of Abstractions ---Bottom Foundation?

Added the following day:  This morning I found an AI produced visual abstraction of real world objects built on abstracting iterations....abstract representations of abstractions......it is a fascinating thing to look at the results with the knowledge that they were spawned by photographs of real world objects.....photo realism being the first step iteration of a real physical thing existing in time and space followed by compositing an instance of a collective abstract entity called (for example) Faces or any other chosen instance/class object of choice.  Perhaps even an example that is spawned from an abstracted instance of art called a HumanIntelligentProducedPainting. Most interesting because the AI applied to do this is algorithmic programming which can be followed from the first to the last progression.....this is the big picture:  It can be followed in a chain of object observation and process on that observation from beginning to end of the AI program process in a chain or....most astounding....the reverse processes from the end back to the beginning real world object.

Is that really possible?  The test of a program is that it proves itself both ways:  TopDownBreakdown or BottomUpAssembly.  Like a Codec Codes or Decodes.  AI beginning with a real world photo image can apply itself to looking at higher levels of ParentClass images or AbstractSymbolicRepresentationsOfAChosenInstance to produce an image representation that matches attributes of any given ParentClassObject in a generational ChildToParent chain all the way up to the final SuperClass which would by logic and reason be binary Black and White??

It is there that the AI would reach its limits of Intelligence?  What is the ParentClassObject that has only binary ChildClassObjects Black and White?  Each inheriting matching attributes of the ParentClass but having unique attributes that make each child different like Cain and Able?  Black or White.  Good or Bad.  Presence or Absence.  That is of course a philosophical point of analysis that is beyond AI and in the pure problem domain of HumanIntelligence?  Or......binarily looking at it....Not?

Obviously, the application of VisualAI to photos is only of value as a tool to discover degrees of abtractions of real things.  Most important perhaps to discover the symbolically represented unique identity of a real world HumanBeing instance of all HumanBeings.  That unique individual being one that matches face to ConceptuallyAbstractName.  Beyond that it is fun and games if confined to the Problem domain of real photos all all Humans producing a UniversalHumanFaceImage that has all the attributes to produce the SuperClassImage of AllPeople.

Could an AI program reproduce the chain of thought contained in what I have just added to yesterday's blog entry?  No, probably not.  It is, within its own domain SuperIntelligent and therefore the end result of its ArtificialIntelligence processing would be a single result presented as a BinaryChoice for any instance of a HumanBeing to ponder:  Is the  ParentSnapShot of what I have just written a thing that has only two ObjectClassChildren?  One being Crazy. The other being.....Intelligent?  Both sharing the common attribute of the Parent:Human?

Where is it that people think about things like this and apply that creative thinking to AlgorithmicArtificialIntelligence to look at ProblemDomains from a MachineBasedPointOfEntry?

Cern? https://cosmosmagazine.com/physics/universe-shouldn-t-exist-cern-physicists-conclude 
The only attribute in common with what I have written is that Cern comes to the same UltimateObjectSuperclassParent/Child relationship that I see: A BinaryChoice of either Present or Absent.  Exist or Not.  What is the Parent of two children called Exist or Not?  What common Attribute of the Parent do they share in common?

I think the answer is none but some ChildObject attribute must be shared because that is the definition of the abstracted ObjectChild.  Maybe the thing that makes it a child of the parent is not an ObjectAttribute  but then what?  All that is left is sharing ParentObjectMethod and ParentObjectMessage in the ObjectOrientedDomain structure.

Maybe the single shared attribute of the two children of the UltimateSuperClassObject is.....really not an ObjectThing but a pure ActionThing that implements the relationship of AllThings called..........
...
Time!  At this point I am lost in Time.....something to do with StateOfBeing in the Blockchain....StateOfBeing.....being......Crazy? Intelligent?

I don't know.  I can't trace the iterations of abstractions I have made to this point as a true BlockChain or a false branch child called Crazy to be abandoned and return to Intelligent.

Is BlockChain an abstraction of Mobius Strip?

Having Squared the Circle the following is what I wrote in this blog entry yesterday............

.......................................................................................................................

I'm in awe of Information Age things.  Like I was in awe of Industrial Age things in the 50's.  I'm old.

Industrial Age things were mechanical, they had mechanical connections.  I could not see AC or DC electricity but I could trace their wire paths with my fingers.  When I heard on the news in the 50's that the USA electric system was for the first time operating on nuclear power I thought that the stuff coming to the electrical wall outlet was then nuclear, not electrical.  Much later in life I learned more about Nuclear Power in the navy.

There are real things then on top of them our intelligence builds abstraction representations of them.  It is a human thing.  We create an arbitrary word symbol describing a real thing and manipulate the thing by means of strings connecting the abstraction of it to its reality.

The string gets longer when abstractions are abstracted to more related abstractions.  Maybe a better way to say it is that any given level of abstraction explodes to related abstractions.

The essential Problem Domain is to reverse the abstraction explosion to all its piece part children of the first degree abstraction that is connected to reality in the physical domain or those fundamental abstractions of our own design that are connected to things of the mind that have no physical existence.  Like feelings or things that we declare to be absolutes in a purely conceptual domain.  A conceptual domain that runs the range from pure conceptual logic and reason in harmony with the physical domain to somewhere far out in the spiritual domain of our own creation or the creation of an other purely spiritual entity that exists and does not exist at the same time in time and space.

Back to earth!

A single path branches, then branches again.  We take a path then take parallel paths at the same time.  Impossible to go down two real world paths that we walk on with two feet but we can do it in our minds.  The beauty of multi-tasking.  We can take a serial sequence logical step at a time down two conceptual paths in parallel or at least referential to each other (one contributing to advancement in the other).  Creating abstractions that build on abstractions that have no expansion boundary beyond the rule that the next abstraction is built on the last one (logical or not like Alice in Wonderland, logical in its own illogical domain).

When we get so far out on the branches of abstractions connecting to more abstractions of a tree extending from a real world physical connection and utilized to do something to make a change in the state of the physical world that we can't understand or comprehend the nature of all the connections then we get lost in the woods.  Individually.  Some don't and know the path from the most remote abstraction all the way back to its connection to doing something in the real world.  They are smart.  Either our leaders for the common good our users for their own good. 

Hard to tell when we can't follow the chain of abstractions like those that can.  In the Information Age only the system can follow the chain.  The system is the chain.  If what the the system "Is" not open to public access it cannot be followed.  Rights of Privacy as we choose to define it as an abstract attribute of a physical or purely abstract object is a primitive root abstraction connecting to real world entities.

This blog is getting so abstract I'm not sure I can find my way back to my coffee cup this morning.  It had a beginning purpose, my purpose of going somewhere.  It is a work in progress.  If I can get back to the foundation it can continue.  At this point it is abstracted to the extent that extension is only a loop.

(Strange but....) The beginning was here: https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20171018a.htm 
How I abstracted from there to here is only a path of abstractions of my own creation only known to myself.

Where is my compass?  What is my compass?  How does it work?

Finance builds abstractions of real world value representations as well as abstractions of things that do not exist in the real world but are declared to exist by some logical or reasonable (or not) construction of abstractions like Mark to Make Believe or Ponzi or Greed.

From the Link:
"The Role of Banks in Payments Innovation
The examples I have highlighted so far illustrate payments innovations from fintech firms and banks alike. I want to spend a moment highlighting the special role of banks in the payments process, and how banks are needed in order to create innovations that can be used broadly across the economy."

Banks are not needed.  Distributed relational system structure design is the requirement, not a network that is founded on a physical controlling entity.  The architectural design is the same as decentralized nature of power that drives our own self governance.

The conclusion of the Link:

"Rapidly changing technology is providing a historic opportunity to transform our daily lives, including the way we pay. Fintech firms and banks are embracing this change, as they strive to address consumer demands for more timely and convenient payments. A range of innovative products that seamlessly integrate with other services is now available at our fingertips. It is essential, however, that this innovation not come at the cost of a safe and secure payment system that retains the confidence of its end users."

The author means that the Federal Banking System is the only answer to a safe, secure payment system.

Not! it is a dinosaur that must die as a function of evolution.  Now called revolution in an Information Age that brings fast paced change.  It will die because its fundamental foundation of debt based money is abstract concept founded on absence of real foundation instead of a presence of an abstract entity that can be traced in an eternal blockchain from its declared origin through all verified transactions to it present State.

CryptoCurrency is a thing that can be followed in a chain of validated tokenized truth in a decentralized system.

The Fed is as old school as black magic in the Information Age.  A debt based vampire that exists as an abstraction of the absence of something (life) that feeds on life (sucking greedy bloo from it) that must die as a function of establishing a monetary system based on the persistent presence of an monetary unit that is not self extinguishing back to the non-existent state of being called nothing but persisting forever living as a traceable recyclable entity as spawn form its declared originating identity as long as society has need for a abstract medium of exchange that recycles in ownership as a function of its attributes, methods of ownership transfer and means of messaging change of state in a blockchain.

State Controlled Crypto Currency

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-20/next-generation-currency-wars-private-vs-state-backed-crypto

Fear!

I think I am a glass half full guy.  I look at the Information Age as a glass half full.  Far less than half full when I can see the distance it will take us in the future.  Information that has a strong binding to truth or a path of validation of the TrueObjectState of a thing and management of information processes that are required for ChangeOfState from current ObjectState to NewObjectState by tokenizing the Object or the Action or both in a Blockchain on a PublicLedger.

This blog entry is an Object, a thing, that has ObjectStateChange with each new letter, word, sentence I write.  As I write Google is processing it from OldState to NewState as a function of my process of entering thoughts to my computer built up from the granular level letter and proceeding up through higher ParentObjectClasses of words, sentences, paragraph structures that build to create a mini SuperClassObject called a blog entry where syntax structure and its abstracted semantics meaning join to create a HigherOrderClassObjectBlogEntry.

Google is spell checking this blog entry in real time.  I can see it as my "Save Button' forwards what I write to CloudSky.  Google gives me RealTime spell check when I make up words like "CloudSky" and sends a message to my computer to invoke its ObjectMethod:Underline(Red) telling ObjectMe that it does not have that word in its legal word reference ObjectDictionary.

How much more is Object:Google checking beyond words.  Words are key but a stream of words become an ObjectIntelligence.  A stream of words ending with a period is a ParentClassIntellegenceObject.  That class ending in the Method known to Object:ReturnKey moves what I write makes a child out of a ParentClass:Paragraph.

While Google may assist me in my writing at a spell check level.... And perhaps grading me to monetize their data base by selling aggregate blogger spelling scores to a business that sells writing and editing tools......What is, or could Google draw from a HigherClassObjectOrder AI RealTime analysis of Sentence then Paragraph as I write the blog and it takes on the ObjectAttribute of something called "SignificantMeaning" of some measurable categorical nature from Object:BS to Object:SomethingGoogleIsInterestedIn.  Perhaps a higher order Entity than Google?

This has rambled far beyond the subject of the blog that lit the fire to this seemingly unrelated path.

This blog entry is a dynamic BlockChainObject changing state over time from old to new state as it travels down a BlockChain of thought and is validated by me and me alone, and perhaps Google as well beyond the spell check level for actionable Intelligence.

By a stretch of the imagination......and I do stretch it often in this blog.....Google plays a BlockChainExchange role.  Reading each letter and evaluating each word that enters the BlockChain of the blog entry.  Google tells me when the chain branches to a chain that should be abandoned because the spelling is wrong.  When the HigherOrder level of sentences and paragraphs go in the direction of a branch that should be abandoned by some form of AI analysis perhaps there is method of some Object that sends a message somewhere called: Message:TerminateCrawlerEntrySearchableWWW.

Who knows?  This blog entry is after all not a public ledger until it I click "Publish" and may not actually be Published for some algorithmic AI reason of Google or OtherEntity.

OtherEntity?  A collective SuperClassPrivateorPublicObject.

Does what I say in this blog have value to Google?  I wonder what an AI analysis says about its Intelligence value?  Important enough that a RealPerson analyst might follow it?

It appears that Google chunks the method "Save" because I can see the greyed "Save" button each time the method is activated.  It is then that Google AI evaluates, to some level, what I am writing.

What is the AI level of evaluation?

I see the "Save" button activated more frequently in this blog entry than in other entries.  Once the Publish button activated itself.  Why when this entry is in draft stage?

OK.  enough diversion.

State control of currency.  Be afraid, be very afraid says some Entity with great investment in non state control of money.  Be extremely afraid that a government of WeThePeople would invoke is sovereign right to control the MonetarySystem as opposed to GloriusFreePrivateEnterprise and the implementing function of the autonomous "MysteriousMarketHand" that cannot be manipulated by a single entity like the SovereignState.   It can only be manipulated by a free and open market place of the BankingFinance Domain.

There is so much for BankingFinance to loose and so much for WeThePeople to gain.

That is why WeThePeople SovereignEntity called the People'sRepublicOfChina will be a WorldLeader.  He who has the Gold Rules.  Russia is a wannabe PeoplesRepublic but is that no more than the USA is.

Good for China.  While we have a F'n moron at the helm they have Xi who is really doing something for the People'sRepublic.

The challenge of US Banking and Finance:  How to assure that capture the BlockChain CryptoCurrency market.  How?  Make the BitPlayers suffer collapse or even the established BankingFinance system fall in the absence of Government bale out.  Public sentiment against that is not only strong but to BankFinance advantage to introduce their control of the answer to the problem that will ensure their control of the BankFinanceDomain for the next 50 years with their own fenced BlockChain monetary system extending into all aspects of object value traded on the market that uses CryptoCurrency based credit as the MediumOfExchange.

Never let a good crises go to waste.

First step: CreateTheCrises

Create the Public Fear of Crypto Currency to take special interest advantage:  I see a prevalence of this at Zero Hedge.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-21/crypto-currency-calm-storm

Be very, very afraid:  ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ warns of impending cryptocurrencies ‘scam’
It is a place that we must not go.  A scam in which all will be lost.  If we go there the only true scam will be lost:  The Debt Based Finance Scam devised to the benefit of Finance to enrich itself with the trick of trickle down (controlled to the least amount short of being hanged from a lampost or pierced by a pitchfork) to the Common Good.  A point where the Monetary System defining what Money "Is" is taken away from the Banking System and the only thing left to the Banking System to control.....is what Money "Does" just like all the rest of us that use Money as a medium of exchange rather than extraction.  What Money "Does" is the Market in which we all trade.  What Money "Is" belongs to all of us to declare not the Banks in a Market called the USA founded on the self governance choice with the consent of the governed.  Banks must not rule us with what Money "Is" we determine that then we all play the free enterprise game of what Money "Does".

The Information Age is going to declare the attributes of the essential objects of the Monetary System Structure.  In an OpenSourceSystem belonging to all of us, owned by all of us to govern ourselves Crypto Currency will free us from the tyranny of the Banking System sole proprietary ownership of the creation of What Money "Is".  

The Banking system is attempting to protect itself from change the same way that our Government is protecting itself from change to a better state called Peace with benefits for all.  The attempt strategy is........

Fear Based.

Be afraid.........we will preserve and protect from the thing we cause you to fear. 

The Game Plan:  The Banking System will create financial chaos in the established Monetary System to capture total control of the System that will be the solution to the financial chaos:  BlockChain CryptoCurrency.  It is the same BusinessModelGamePlan that was employed to establish the Federal Reserve December 23, 1913 to control what Money "Is".  Money is Debt Creation.  It "Is" Debt Based.  

Crypto Currency in a Blockchain is not Debt Based creation of Money.  It is declared Asset Token Based where the abstract Token Value is perpetuated by virtue of the fact that the token does not go out of existence when the under laying debt to the bank loan is paid back.  The token persists with a unique granular identity connecting to its real time, eternal now last unique transaction code over the continuing passage of indefinite time.

What matters to Banks is not so much that Money "Is" either a debt based in origin system or asset based by declaration of persistent unique token identity like a serialized dollar bill, the only difference being that it does not wear itself out over time like a uniquely serialized dollar bill and we maintain of record not simply of the value of the dollar bill but who owns the serial number on the dollar bill.   Both are tokenized conceptual abstractions.  One lasts in the digital domain forever.  The other only lives as long as its serial number on life cycle paper.   That serial number validates its existence together with unique physical attributes that are not recyclable only reusable as long as they are not worn out.  

What matters to the Banks is that they control what Money "IS".  Its fundamental origin from a debt based bookeeping origin of nothing back to nothing when the created debt is extinguished......or in an eternal cycle as a persistent declared unique tokenized object that is never lost nor worn out makes no difference as long as they control both the system that creates it and extracts rent from it.

It is ironic that Finance will create such great public fear of Crypto Currency as a tool to perpetuate its monopoly on the creation of Money when we get to the point of Financial collapse and they come to our "rescue" with a Crypto Currency system.

A slick and devious plan.

History is at a cross roads where the future will ruled by those that have the gold (banks) or the Public Domain as a Public not a Private resource belonging to the Public by self evident right as well as existing Sovereign Right to the State which is exists as the consent of the governed..

 Maybe the question to be asked is more fundamental?  

Who owns the "State"?  Those with the money to own it by virtue of the money they have to control it?

Is the history of the late 1800's repeating itself?

Will the Information Age give us a different solution than the Industrial Age gave us and now cripples us with a Monetary System controlled by banks because they control the creation of what Money "Is" and by virtue of that control what Money "Does"......for their unjust benefit beyond benefit to the Common Good that the Institution of Banking should serve like any other component of a Market System?

Crises is coming.  That is a given.
 https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/10/looking-next-crisis-may-looking-wrong-places.html 
Some will win, some will lose at the granular level.  What matters is at the top level of who wins in the end who the biggest winner and loser will be.....

Public?  All of us going down the road of a more perfect equitable society

or 

Private? A few continuing to abscond with more than their fair share of the wealth of our Self Determined Society called the USA and in the broader scope the World at large?

Which way will the USA go?  The way of who controls the USA and the answer is bleak.

China will go the other way to benefit the Common Good and establish state control of Crypto Currency that will replace the US dollar or any Crypto Currency created by the USA in answer to the pending collapse of the world economy.

Is that the Writing On The Wall that we are too distracted to see.  The ball that we do not have our eye on in this epic shell game that those few with a big stake in the game are branding falsely as a scam.  

The scammers are calling it a scam?   Maybe they fear the end of their game and are smart enough to devise a plan to continue to control the new and more lucrative game the Information Age provides the opportunity to play and be played in.

Will US Treasuries become tokenized Crypto Currencies?
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/10/us-treasury-rates-hit-nine-year-highs.html 
That is a wild smoking thought I cannot even begin to give substantive support systemic structure.

Perhaps when we give AI an opportunity access to look at a Crypto Currency system structure and operation it can come up with an intelligent way to free it from sub-optimization by Finance:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ai-versus-ai-self-taught-alphago-zero-vanquishes-its-predecessor/ 
"Unsupervised training is the key to ultimately creating AI that can think for itself, Etzioni says, but “more research is needed outside of the confines of board games and predefined objective functions” before computers can really begin to think outside the box." 

Bill Black is an expert on Predator Class Control Fraud.  Specifically, opioids. but in general it applies to Finance and Monetary Systems as well of which he often writes and is subject matter expert.

In order to fight an Open Public State Controlled Crypto Currency System the Private Banking System must create a Walled Garden Crypto Currency System.  Transaction Settlement at the Enterprise Level is the first place to do that.  Consumer Level will follow.
https://www.blockchaintechnology-news.com/2017/10/23/mastercard-opens-access-blockchain-api/ 

Private Blockchain vs Public Ledger Blockchain:  
https://www.blockchaintechnology-news.com/2017/10/12/oracles-blockchain-move-really-good-thing-enterprise/ 
Big legacy entities that by growth and size "owned" a walled garden domain by virtual of creation, marketing or maybe just plain initial theft must protect themselves from losing what they "own" to new ways of doing business that essentially breech the protective walls and play in the garden of the Big Legacy Enterprise.  Oracle is big.  A relational data base powerhouse entity has expanded far beyond its origin with a business model that protects and expands its customer turf.  The same could be said of the Banking System that is essentially the Federal Reserve Bank.  It is the oldest and biggest legacy system entity enterprise in the USA with the widest control and application of its walled garden control.  A license to print money from nothing with the US legal system and enforcement power protecting the exclusive Money Making Enterprise.

Oracle has a potential share opportunity to capture a substantial tech sector fallout when the grip of the Fed is exploded by Crypto Currency....unless the Fed is clever enough and fast enough to de-fuse the exposion by getting a private monopoly from the government to create a National Crypto Currency System that continues its domination of what the Monetary System "Is" and as a function of what it "Is" controls what it does.  That, of course, is simply an extension of the Federal Reserve Banking System established by a coup behind closed doors on 23 December, 1913.

The business model of 1913:  Exclusive Private Entity control of a system that produces Money and perpetuates control of what Money used by the Public does.  Failing to do that means extinction of the Federal Reserve Monetary system.

Likewise, Oracle has created a relational data based system that has become pervasive in use.  It must also continue to control a system that has lock on use.  A greater challenge when it does not have a goevernment granted monopoly and power of government to enforce.

Oracle however, being the smartest and fastest kid on the block however........ 

More fear from the Financial Times.  Be afraid of Crypto Currency, be very afraid.  Bring back the $500 bill.  We can't trust the electricity to always be on:  Because Puerto Rico.  Because any other fear that those that stand to lose their PrivateGrip on Currency can gin up to scare the public.
https://theconversation.com/in-defense-of-cash-why-we-should-bring-back-the-500-note-and-other-big-bills-85880


Yes, bring it back, along with bigger denominations all the way up to the $Trillion Dollar Platinum Coin that is in sole possession ownership of the US Government. Currency that is spent into existence by the Government as the origin of a Crypto Currency Blockchain of DebtFreeCurrency that has no counter party balance sheet debt to support its under laying value.  Public Utility Money belonging to the all of us.  Provide a means to exchange the Crypto Currency into a physical form if anyone wants it in that form.  Like the right drawing gold in exchange for dollars on the gold standard.  Gold in the Information Age is gold.  It can be "Gold" in the form a unique identity physical form token that cannot be reproduced.  However, spending it in physical form must be recorded in a physical Blockchain accounting system that operates in the same manner as the digital CryptoCurrency System with proof of work by GreenEysShade real people in vast PeopleFarms called BobCratchits Working for a Private Enterprise called Scrooge Enterprises.


Like any other Crypto Currency Exhange from one form of Digital Crypto Currence to another the Offine Physical Accounting for exchange of one form of currency for another carries a fee that pays the BobCratchits for their proof of work as well as make the owners of the Scrooge Enterprises extremely rich.


The problem with the model is that that use of the physical medium of Crypto Currency carries with it BioMarker ID requirements to substantiate the Identity of the Owner:Spender and NewOwner:Receiver as well as multiple exchange fees.  If anyone wants the physical form of Crypto Currency to hide under the mattress or spend they pay for conversion.  The receiver when it is spent pays a processing fee.  Looks like I just re-created the BankingModel!  Yes!  With added proof of work which makes the new model more legitimate than MoneyOnTrees:Growing.

AI Based Algorithmic Decision Making and Public Policy Law and Maidsafe

https://www.wired.com/story/ai-experts-want-to-end-black-box-algorithms-in-government/

This has social implications of great importance.  Government decision making is a public process based on an informed citizenry that is ultimately the decision maker of democracy as our form of chosen self governance...It's a "We The People" thing.

That is how I would structure the the abstract notion of Freedom as a top abstract concept of an Information Engineering Social System design that solves the Problem Domain of forming a "More Perfect Union"

They are extracted words from a grand design plan implemented by the Constitution.  The rest of the statement from which these words are drawn is "Great Stuff" and worth entering here to honor the magnitude of the concept in bold print because it is only exceeded in conceptual abstract foundation as a system design concept by the only alternate to our Space/Time reality of what we see as the Real World.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

What is that alternate "Other abstract Conceptual System foundation design plan?

In the beginning was the Word. 
.........and its co-equal foundation expressions of spiritual world conceptual foundations upon which alternate spiritual realities are based.....for those that choose to believe in the Spiritual Realm and the social structure it creates in the Real World.

Fortunately We The People decided to divide the entire Problem Domain in two parts and separate the the thing the We The People intended to create to govern ourselves in the Real World from the Spiritual World abstract conceptual belief system created for us beyond the domain of Spacetime.

In our real world Singular Human and Collective Human Being conceptual abstractions of the real world around us have evolved as a reduction of  ambiguity in a process of seeking truth.  Recently we arrived at a point of declaring "Self Evident Truths".  An Abstract Thing is True because we declare it to be True because it is self evident.....with some passing nod to a source of Truth originating from some Other World Belief domain....for those that choose to believe it exists in some form or the other...or not...based on Freedom of Choice.

In the Real World our human quest to reduce ambiguity of human conceptual abstractions of the Real World as an explanatory model of the Real World is Science. 

The Scientific Approach 1.0 to organizing a model abstraction of the real world and expressing it in an increasingly complex formalized manner to reduce ambiguity has progressed through several iterations over a long period of time analogous to the most recent advancement in form and method function of the Information Age in a relatively short period of time.  So short that the result is that most people do not understand modern complexity of our social system abstractions expressed by Information Age designs.  Those designs reduce Algorithmic Ambiguity to more accurate representations of Truth by design proof.

Hooray for Blockchain!  That is premature to stick in this blog entry at this point but I could not resist the tell of where this thinking about the impact of Algorithmic Truth is going.

What was written in Law of the Land is still fundamentally written in the simple founding language of the Law of the Land but expressed in a new form of the Information Age that in its structure is complex and ahead of general human thinking ability for an individual to reduce complexity to simplicity.  Advancing the reduction of conceptual ambiguity over time has moved what was relatively easier to understand in the Industrial Age relationship of things to our lives to an even more abstract level of Information Structures as Objects possessing Attributes, Methods and Messages to communicate with other Objects in an Information Structure implement Changes in Information in the Information Age like Changes in State in the Physical World Domain of the Industrial World to continue to accomplish changes in the Physical World but with the added enhancement of a new Information Operating System to implement Change of State of Conceptually Abstracted Object Representations defined in Information Age Structures.

That is a long thought road path to the subject of this blog entry.

Law is Algorithmic.

A threat?  https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608011/secret-algorithms-threaten-the-rule-of-law/

A Paradigm Shift advancement?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_regulation
That will bring us into a new and better world?

The big picture .....to reduce complexity to simplicity is that we have one foot in the Industrial Age and another food in the Information Age.  A few people and the various social entities they create can comprehend the complexity of the Information Age as new comers not bound by Pre-Indsutrial or Industrial Age conceptual design tools.  Some born into the Industrial Age can switch horses in mid-stream to the Information Age that is object.  Others remain stuck in Industrial Age thinking and Systems that were generally process oriented.  They base their understanding of a complex Information Age System on Algorithm as its process action not as a conceptual abstract object knowing methods to implement process (change of state of other objects) by means of the messages they know to transmit and have the methods they know how to respond to.

Simply:   Look at who is afraid of Algorithms?  Those that see the threat to rule of law as a process trusted to the intelligence of the human mind.

Who sees Algorithms as a benefit to the Object called Law to improve its process to implement change in state (action application of law) is a manner that reduces abstract ambiguity?  Those that understand the complex nature and integrity of  Information Age Systems Design to reduce the ambiguity of conceptual social abstractions like Justice as an evidence based ObjectThing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice.

Justice:  Perhaps one of the most conceptually abstract things in Society.  Equal justice under the Law.  It is a Philosophical Thing.  Used to be a big Marshmallow Problem Domain perhaps starting with whatever was arbitrarily called justice by whoever (individual or ruling entity institution) had the power to make the call.  Perfect example of our social progression over history to reduce conceptual ambiguity to increasingly truth based information models.

Blockchain is going to reduce conceptual ambiguity abstractions of the real world by means of verifiable tokenization of Things and their changes of state in both the Private and Public Sectors.

Blockchain is fundamentally Open Source.  Look at Microsoft.  The King of the Proprietary.  Thank goodness for my Apple.  Microsoft is going Open Source!  https://www.pcmag.com/news/355475/microsoft-unveils-coco-an-open-source-blockchain-framework

The application of Open Source Blockchain in the Private Sector will have proprietary protections.  Just like English is an Open Source Information System structure but the application of the design in a process to produce an original creation gives proprietary rights to the creation of a book and the look and feel of the parts of the whole.  However, we can read the book and see and understand the creation process using the objects that went into it...words (open source syntax and semantics), sentences (public domain or perhaps proprietary rights related if original creations) and paragraphs, probably proprietary if proprietary rights are simply claimed or public domain if permitted.

In the Public Domain of Governance everything by default, with exceptions, is Public.  Both the Process and sometimes the result depending on Private Rights.

When the government uses Algorithms for governance we have a right to know how those Algorithms are structured.

When the government uses Algorithms created by the Private Domain, which may be proprietary, we have a right to know the Information Engineering Design that created the programming.  Maybe not the code itself but in the Information Age the code is increasingly an automated output of autonomous coding systems, not the product of human coders.

The intent of Maidsafe is an indicator of where coding is going.  It is where Artificial Intelligence is going.

Michael Hudson and Financial Extraction --

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2017/10/michael-hudson-socialism-land-banking-2017-compared-1917.html

This is what is going to bring some honesty and accountability to Big Finance FIRE and the Chinese are going to do it!  Russia?  Russia will try but screw it up.  Blockchain is why Finance is scared!  Finance also wants to make it their own fenced garden for their benefit.  Public Ledger?  That is the stumbling block.  Can't have that and hide from the public as well as avoid blockchain documentation.

A long read but it goes down a bite at a time and one bite follows another to weave a simple picture that in its whole is truth.  I absolutely admire Hudson's thinking and Yves publication of his thoughts at Naked Capitalism.  This reveals exactly what they both intend to expose: The naked truth of the adverse impact of Capitalism on Society.  That naked truth is summed up as:  Predation! Predatory extraction of general social wealth that by equitable design should be shared among all of Society to benefit a narrow sector of our Society (FIRE) at the expense of the Common Good.

In the comments that follow Michael's analysis he ads his own explanatory comment that the intention of his analysis of self evident history of Capitalism was a future looking focus on how China will deal with the Problem Domain of WealthExtraction by those that control the FinancialMeansExtraction. 

In this blog over the past years I have commented on "China is Doomed" opinions in the Media.  I think that China is in a position to assume a passive role as SocialLeader of the world as opposed to the (PlaceHolderDiscriptorHere)Leader of the world.

On what fulcrum will the balance of leadership tip?  What will implement the fundamental shift between TwoObjects in order to bring them into a balance of our SelfGoverning for the CommonGood?

The TwoObjects in a BinaryRelationship:  IndividualBenefit and CommonGood.  Certainly a high wire balancing act with potential for disaster in a fall.

The BalancingActionFactor verb implementing the relationship of the Singular to the Collective (OnetoMany) SocialBenefit?

Extraction.

.................or, if your prefer to use the positive flip side of that abstract conceptual action,

Contribution.

Either is a process.  A VerbAction between two NounObjects.  The Trinity of the Domain of AbstractConceptualThought that operates in the same manner as our RealPhysicalUniverse.

A fulcrum is a Thing:Point that has a property of variable position in space and time that implements the function of balance relationship on a scale of,,,,,,,,,,,,

..............this is perhaps a different way of looking at balance but it gets me where I want to go in 
              terms of PointOfEntry to the PlroblemDomain:

MutuallyExclusive Presence/Absence at the extremes of Totality.

The desired point of maximizing Public and PrivateHuman SocialBenefit is by our SocialConsentDesign the BalancePoint.

Maybe one way to look at The state of the ProblemDomain is:  Society gets what it deserves as a function of our collective degree of control over the position of the BalancePoint.

The BalancePoint in this case of the distribution of the general wealth of our society is the process of Finance.  Not the object of Finance.

The most fundamental approach to a ProblemDomain is to manage the nature and properties of  Objects first by design and then Actions of Objects as they implement relationships among themselves on a OneToOne, OneToMany and ManyToMany  scheme of things cause ChangeOfState in the ProblemDomain moving toward DesiredStateSolution........What that?  Whatever we self proclaim or is proclaimed for us by default or we are convinced is best for us.

The proof of what is best for us?

Maybe it is measured on the scale of Pursuit of CollectiveHappiness.

Attempting to control what Finance "Does" is a losing game.  In broader terms attempting control actions as the driver of objects.

Michael Hudson approaches the Problem by analysis of what Finance "Is"  to produce the action of what it does and analysis of that result in the past to look forward to solution in the ConceptualDesign of what Finance "Is" to manage intended general best SocialBenefit of what Finance does.

The ParentDomain of Finance is Money.  Solve that problem and Finance follows.  As long as Money is fundamentally DebtBased to serve the interests of the FIRESector.

Michael frames the problem from an ObjectOriented approach as well as a solution.

I think...maybe more feel than think that Xi is fundamentally an object oriented thinker like Michael Hudson but for public presentation and consumption has to present their fundamental object design plan in terms of what it will do rather than what it is.
