Some notes on organizational
stratum
Several disciplines are integrated to form stratification theory and a
demand side philosophy that is based on organizational stratum.
A principle result in computer science is that self organization in
nature leads to
generative stratum, and that certain first principles
define an artificial generative stratum. The natural and
artificial manifestations may be compared, and from this comparison it
is possible to make contributions to both science and computing
technology. One example of a computer architecture with
organizational stratum is Cubicon. The history and some public
information about Cubicon may be found
at www.coretak.net. There are several other stratified computing
architectures, several of which are not public.
My generalization of these architectures is to be made into a
rather
simple formalism, one that uses the Soviet era quasi axiomatic
theory

and some results from topic map representation of human knowledge, as
well as elements of semiotics (theory of sign systems). My
generalization is being

as well as others. However, most of this work is not
published. The notes in this log is really designed to help me
round out my approach and to be as clear as possible about all of the
issues.
The political argument that an
alterative paradigm is available but repressed
A political argument, to Al Gore and others, is to be made based on our
synthesist of the science, as placed in the context of current
crisis of systems; education, financial, health,
and geo-political. My work, as is true of many but not all of the
citations I make in the draft of my book, is
under published. Two reasons exists, the nature of complexity in
nature and the "social" repression of alternatives to the current
strong form of scientific reductionism.
A core concept underlying the work is a separation of
locality and non-locality. There are historic facts, related to
science and philosophy, that lead themselves to ignoring
non-locality. I will not go into
this history other than to assert that this history is real and
relevant to the economic and philosophical repression of a number of
works by scholars, including Peter Kugler and Robert
Rosen.
The point is that this separation is essential to technologies such as
organic
solar cells, power grid control, and in general the understanding of
molecular process.
It is to be described using a mix of
ontological modeling and Hilbert mathematics.
The physical separation is best seen in quantum physics (Bell's
inequality) but
is also seen in all disciplines, for examples John Nash's work in
economics (the movie The Beautiful Mind), and Gerald Edelman's work in
"Neural Darwinism". Karl Pribram (Brain and
Perception, 1991) developed by a local theory and a nonlocal theory of
neural processing.
Suppy and demand and non-localtiy
How is demand side computing theory and nonlocality related? Why
is this theory repressed, if our assertion is correct?
Supply side naturally comes from the organizational layers that a
system sits inside. As a philosophical principle it seems reasonable,
to some, that those who are wealthy should identify and control what is
supplied to the economy. However, without a demand side, the
control
is partial, semi-control, and is chaotic and perhaps dangerous (to
social
health). This alterative viewpoint may be repressed based
on the power of those who support the pure supply side argument.
For the current (un-balanced supply side) economy this semi-control is
exercised (poorly) by the wealthy entities; corporations and those who
occupy positions of control over the economic system. Demand
arises from a local decision making process, which in our media and
cultural reality is shaped far too much by the same group that controls
supply. A well defined and simple social theory unified this
control - supply side trickle down economic theory, and deregulation.
Deregulation by itself is not the problem, since a healthy and
naturally occurring demand side control would create a balance.
The control of public media and credit by the same group that
semi-controls the supply side is where the imbalance occurs.
This reality beings us back to the political and scientific arguments
for a "clean slate Internet" enabling technology that would appear out
of the blue, and not be under the control of Silicon Valley venture
capital.
