Game Theory - 7

Today is not just another normal day - there will no longer be such. Each day is a new adventure as people negotiate there place in the changing form. Each time another meme shows up, it tossed a monkey wrench into the proceedings of people dealing with other people. Get action that spins wheels and takes time and accomplishes nothing. The link between time and work is disconnected, yet people are afraid to give up work as we see it as a lifeline. We have to let it go - it serves no valid purpose any longer.
There is no outside lifeline. What is, is what is and what you see is what you get. WYSIWYG - an acronym that took me some real thinking to get, when it first sprang upon me. I missed the introduction of social networks and had to play ketchup, so i went over deep and made the highly entertaining mistakes when i did connect. I did not prepare for the volume of exchanged information being entirely unidirectional with feedback being buried in the mechanism. Most people play this on-line game blind - i had IRC before the net was formed.

If you know what IRC is, i salute you. If not, you now have homework. There are many mechanisms for weighing the value of something - the criteria has to be something linked directly, as a consequence or an action. For instance, you can monitor the use of pencils by looking at the wear on the eraser - the size of the pencil depends on how sharpen happy the kid is - not a valid metric. Ratio metrics work - derivative metrics can be created based on the project of usage and value. Examples of this are shooting percentage as a ratio and earned run average as a derivative. Fantasy sports is a perfect model of how to use numbers to measure performance - sports in general gives meaning to the concept of ratios between small whole numbers.

Base ten mathematics is in the current flux box. The numbers from zero through nine can be counted, but all base measurement is off limits until i come through with another concept of relationship. Linear relationships are off-base, so algebra and geometry also have to go off the table, although sacred geometry is allowed for form - but not with real numbers. Matrix algebra is part of group theory and is allowed, but multiplication and division should be justified for each specific use. When a number is used as a marker, it is non mathematical. When the number is measured, then it is mathematical and the only allowed linear operation is count. How many is a valid question, but how to divide amongst is not.

Also - mathematics is allowed in dealing in old paradigm value discussions as long as we do not initiate the discourse. There will be too much flux of people changing sides continually, that it doesn't pay to argue without facts. It doesn't pay to argue anyway, but the flux box is designed to work out new ideas and not to penalize people that use it. We can measure the amount of time that the topic remains in the flux box, but time is not a valid measure, since we don't know how it actually works. So by knowing when the concept goes in, we can establish later precedent for bringing things out to reevaluation, once the truths are discovered.

I feel like an archaeological magician, exploring a direction of thought that was lost long ago, buried under ego and bullshyte that wasn't allowed to see the time of day. South Park must have the most annoying musical introduction of any show on television - ah steely dan. Now music has changed my thought pattern - this blog is done, for now. See you on the inside.
