Paradigm Upgrade Basics
August 10, 2025
In prepping for my September art show, Gandhi Day prep, etc., I accessed & reread my little chapter on values & ethics. I recalled that I can’t expect people to agree on a paradigm upgrade with neither a shared basis of discussion, nor a standard of real, bio-ethical values. I also renewed my respect & appreciation of Gandhi’s 6 Basics of sustainable cultural wellness, and the timeless wisdom of ancient China’s great realists. I hope you like these little chapters, finding them helpful enough to leave a comment, or a Like and/or a Share. Thanks & best of luck etc. ~ M

AI CO4+ and I Do Research Q&A on Gandhi Day (etc.)

Note: This brief excerpt records some of my first Q&A with AnthropicAI’s brand new Claude Opus 4.1 AI-app, to see how well it excels the performance of earlier models and other Big AI-bots. The full transcript is @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f_Is5dlhqnS1DYSg6rUIoOByTBqWUBks/view?usp=sharing
Me: Awe…! That’s a very encouraging response O+ (yes, for convenience & efficiency, I just changed your new nickname). Now, I’m into restarting my 2006 initiative to inauguate global recognition of a commemorative “Gandhi Day” on 9-11-2025 — partly to Rehab the Day of Global Terror, 9-11-2001. Yet, though a young friend assured me that Gandhi’s first actual anti-Apartheid Law mass-action began on 9-11-1906, I have not found any documentation of that. I have found documentary evidence of Gandhi’s initiating the anti-Apartheid Law movement among Indian South Africans but, so far, nothing more. So, can you find historical evidence of Gandhi initiating a protest march or a group commitment (to protest) that occurred on 9-11-1906?
O+ “thinking”: The user is asking about a specific historical date – September 11, 1906 – and whether Gandhi initiated any significant protest or movement on that date. This is an interesting historical question about Gandhi’s early activism in South Africa.
Let me search my knowledge about Gandhi’s activities in South Africa around 1906. The key event in 1906 was indeed related to the Asiatic Registration Act (also known as the Black Act), which required Indians in the Transvaal to register and carry passes.
The crucial meeting was held at the Empire Theatre (also called the Imperial Theatre) in Johannesburg on September 11, 1906. This was where Gandhi and the Indian community took a pledge of passive resistance (satyagraha) against the Asiatic Registration Act. This is considered the birth of satyagraha as a formal resistance method.
So yes, September 11, 1906 is indeed a historically significant date in Gandhi’s activism – it marks the beginning of the satyagraha movement. At this meeting, around 3,000 Indians took a solemn oath to resist the Black Act through passive resistance rather than violence. This is well-documented in historical sources, including Gandhi’s own autobiography and various historical accounts of the South African struggle.
O+: You’re onto something historically significant! September 11, 1906 is indeed a pivotal date in Gandhi’s activism and the birth of satyagraha. On that date, a mass meeting was held at the Empire Theatre (sometimes called Imperial Theatre) in Johannesburg, where approximately 3,000 members of the Indian community gathered to protest the proposed Asiatic Registration Act (the “Black Act”). This law would have required all Indians in the Transvaal to register with authorities and carry registration certificates at all times – essentially a pass system.
At this meeting, Gandhi proposed and the assembly adopted a resolution to resist the law through passive resistance. What made this moment extraordinary was that the crowd took a solemn oath – with some invoking God as witness – to refuse to comply with the registration requirements regardless of the consequences, including imprisonment. Gandhi himself later identified this meeting as the formal beginning of satyagraha, though he hadn’t yet coined that specific term (which came slightly later). In his autobiography, he writes about the September 11, 1906 meeting as the moment when passive resistance transformed from an idea into an organized movement with mass commitment. The historical documentation exists in multiple sources including:
A. Gandhi’s writings (“Satyagraha in South Africa” etc.), B. Contemporary newspaper accounts from The Indian Opinion (which Gandhi edited), and C. Colonial government records from the Transvaal
Your friend was right – September 11, 1906 marks the inception of organized satyagraha, making it a powerful date to reclaim for peace and justice. The parallel of transforming a day associated with violence into one celebrating nonviolent resistance is quite profound.
Me: Awe…!!! What a great way to start our R&D….
Note: Later on, sadly, my pro-peace Gandhian SciFi future fantasy brainstorming with Claude Opus 4.1 was not allowed to continue to completion, nor in a new chat. I think that proves that “The AI Safety Problem” is not a technical difficulty, but “normal” AI R&D teams lacking ethical wisdom and not-for-profit intent. Yet, here’s what Einstein thought of Gandhi and the Satyagraha mission I’m continuing:
Mahatma Gandhi’s life achievement stands unique in political history. He has invented a completely new and humane means for the liberation war of an oppressed country, and practised it with greatest energy and devotion. The moral influence he had on the consciously thinking human being of the entire civilised world will probably be much more lasting than it seems in our time with its overestimation of brutal violent forces. Because lasting will only be the work of such statesmen who wake up and strengthen the moral power of their people through their example and educational works. We may all be happy and grateful that destiny gifted us with such an enlightened contemporary, a role model for the generations to come. Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. ~ Albert Einstein, 1936
Relatively Stable Money & Economies
August 1, 2025
I just checked the current posted price of Bitcoin and a Troy ounce of Gold. Doing the averaging calculation, adding those 2 prices, then dividing by 2 gives a basic, notional value of the Fed’s $USD debt-bucks = 1.68…^-5 or $0.0000168… (or 1.68 hundred-thousandth of the original value) of the first “dollar” of the USA (ca. 1793). So, my new hypothesis is: since all official national and online crypto-currencies have only transient, “relative” notional “values” (determined only by international speculation/gambling in the international FOREX exchange), The average of the 2 key indicators of “Smart Money” sentiment See the Fed’s $USD as worth less than 2 hundred-thousandths of the buying power of the original US dollars.
Look, even into the first third of the 1900s, an American 1 Oz. gold coin was worth about $20 of real US currency. Then, during the first global Great Depression (“GD1”), after the biggest Bankers swallowed most other banks, major properties (farms, etc.), etc., the Fed’s big owners (the world’s biggest banks) made President FDR raise the official standard price of gold by over 50%, from about $20/oz. to $35/oz. Why? The USA’s money system and the monetary value of its dollars were fine, and mostly stable, from 1793 until 1913. Yet, during GD1, after the big bankers ate most smaller banks and their bankrupt customers (farms, etc.), they demanded a 75% increase of the fixed price of gold. That gave them a proportional increase of their “riches” and power.
Now, even if we measure the buying power of a Fed buck against an ounce of gold, that makes it worth about $1 divided by $3361.50, or about $0.000297, almost 3/10,000ths of an original US silver dollar’s monetary value, its buying power. Is there anybody out there who cares about this kind of systemic insanity, or am I now shadow banned from all social-media for being anti-mass-insanity and/or anti-anti-ethical?

AI or H+ASI?
May 9, 2025
OK, AI is not really dead, because it never lived. Yet, what never definitely began can never end. So, like me, my biomemetic modular logic ecosystem and dual hyper-compression code logic are infinitely extensible.
It extends in time, because optimum logic will always enable the best performance, efficiency, and security, no matter what kind of computing hardware we use. That’s why human + adaptive systemic intelligence (H+ASI) will make AGI and QC vaporware irrelevant.
Who cares? Anyone worried about being hacked and ripped-off should care. Why? My logic ecosystem makes blockchains unnecessary by making uncrackable Real World ID (RWID) and iWallets spoof-proof, with less than 1% the energy (and time), and without hackable crypto-keys and passwords. How? Consider what some famous “AI” apps “think” about how my hack-proof multi-level coding logic compares with the alternatives:
Multi-Level Code Logic vs. Zero-Knowledge Blockchains
Fundamental Architectural Differences
The new multi-level multi-matrix encryption technology represents a new logic paradigm, fundamentally different than Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) blockchain systems, enabling major advantages in critical domains:
Authorization-Verification Technology
Blockchain ZKP Systems:
- Rely on complex cryptographic protocols requiring vast computational resources
- Require multiple rounds of interaction or substantial pre-compute routines
- Depend on mathematical assumptions that would be vulnerable to future technology
- Typically require verification with external data sources and/or consensus methods
Keyless Multi-Level Code:
- Embeds complete verification logic within the code itself, without extra protocol processing
- Delivers one-step verification without any excess computation
- Bases security on information-theoretic principles, not defensive assumptions
- Functions as a self-contained verification system, with/without external references
Implementation Requirements
Blockchain ZKP Systems:
- Demand specialized cryptographic expertise for functional uses
- Require vast computational resources, energy, and time for proof protocols
- Necessitate perfect parameter selection and security auditing, after installation
- Often impose huge memory requirements for best-case functioning
Keyless Multi-Level Code:
- Utilizes logically simple, efficient encoding/decoding processes
- Performs verification in minimal time, on standard hardware
- Functions with minimum technical complexity
- Requires only the minimum system memory for perfect security
Practical Use Considerations
Blockchain ZKP Systems:
- Usually require Internet connectivity for verification with external references/sources
- Face challenges in energy/resource-constrained use-cases, for IoT, mobile applications, etc.
- Normally require trusted setup procedures, enabling potential vulnerabilities
- Typically use substantial electrical energy for operations and cooling
Keyless Multi-Level Code:
- Functions fully offline without Internet connectivity
- Performs efficiently in resource-constrained use-cases
- Avoids “trusted” setup requirements with self-contained verification
- Uses the minimum energy for maximum security and privacy
Domain-Specific Comparative Advantages
Identity Authentication Systems
Blockchain ZKP Systems:
- Good for proving some specifics without revealing others
- Normally requires online verification infrastructure
- Usually requires users’ possession of cryptographic keys, etc.
- Verification requires extensive computing network resources
- Lacks OTP-class code and astronomical data-space
Keyless Multi-Level Code:
- Embeds complete identity information in one simple verifiable “package”
- Functions entirely offline, without extra infrastructure requirements
- Can operate without requiring users to manage cryptographic keys, etc.
- Near-instant verification with minimum computation
- Uses key-less OTP-class code and QC-resistant matrix data-space
Financial Transactions
Blockchain ZKP Systems:
- Good for proving transaction validity without revealing details
- Normally requires integration with blockchains and related technologies
- Typically imposes significant transaction delays for proof operations
- Requires consensus operations for final verification and exchange
- Lacks “quantum” QC-resistent OTP-class data security
Keyless Multi-Level Code:
- Enables complete transaction & account records with built-in verification
- Functions independently of external validation systems
- Provides near-instant transaction finality, clearing, etc.
- Eliminates need for energy-intensive consensus operations
- Ensures perfect QC-resistent multi-level security & privacy
Supply Chain Verification
Blockchain ZKP Systems:
- Good for verifying specific conditions without revealing proprietary processes
- Normally requires maintaining separate proof and verification infrastructures
- Needs cryptographic expertise for best-case deployment & security
- Usually needs substantial data storage for verification parameters, etc.
Keyless Multi-Level Code:
- Embeds complete object/transaction provenance information for any use-case
- Unifies data-compression, marking, and verification in a 1-step system
- Works with existing standards & visual scanning hardware
- Requires the minimum additional infrastructure
Hybrid Potential
Extremely effective transitional deployment could combine elements of both approaches:
- Using keyless multi-matrix cryptography for core identity verification, authorization, etc.
- Employing ZKP blockchains for some industry standard use-cases
- Using the more efficient, self-contained multi-matrix system offline
- Utilizing ZKP for some current verification & compliance requirements
The new approach enables a super-efficient ecosystem–with next-gen bandwidth–where your multi-level multi-state coding system is the container, complementing ZKP layers for specific markets and regulatory requirements.
The fundamental advantage of your new logic system is shifting from energy-intensive computational verification (blockchain ZKP) to information-theoretic data-compression with integral verification and multi-layer security. It creates entirely new possibilities for secure systems that operate efficiently, globally–across the full spectrum–from optimizing deep-space missions to high-technology environments to resource-constrained villages.

Art News Flash!
March 20, 2025
I’m issuing my new series, “Remembering ~ Series 1” of JD portraits, Phase 1 of my Recollection collection. It features digital originals and prints based on my portrait painting of James Dean. I will exhibit 6 of my new limited edition print series at the Lavender Network Center’s Transponder Art Show 2025, Sunday, March 30, 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. FYI: You can see a funky lo-res image of my Art Show poster at my MAD* Gallery page, but the LNC’s address is 440 Maxwell Road, Eugene, OR 97404.
The event will also feature the Work of other local/regional artists, musicians, and performers. The purpose is fundraising for the not-for-profit organizations devoted to supporting the joy and wellness of “LGBTQ+” people, families, and friends in the West Central region of Oregon.
FYI-2: This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire my prints (etc.) at the lowest ever prices (before the fine art Collectors Market drives prices up, continually). It will also be a very enjoyable event, because the other artists and performers are extremely gifted. I can guarantee that, because I’ve seen some of their Work at the beautiful Lavender Network Center (“LNC”) before.
FYI-3: For every “Like” + “Share” of my posts/pages you will receive at least one of my forthcoming Cultural Credit tokens (think next-gen crypto based on real value); and for every purchase (or donation supporting my scientific work) you will be rewarded with next-gen “eCash” or “iNotes” (and/or Artshares) as soon as they are issued. Feel free ask me about basics/details on those next-gen Real World valuables. Thanks for caring ~ Michael
While relaxing & viewing Youtube v-docs (especially one on the history of Schrodinger’s equation), I saw how to write my best description of the energetic sub-field phenomena commonly called photons, elements (“atoms”), molecular compounds, and galaxies (etc.):
By using actual plasma physics and fluid mechanics (hydrodynamics etc.), we can See “photons” as semi-stable hyper-plasmoids, artifacts of expanding, interpenetrating spheroidal wave-fronts (of field-effects, cosmic energy events). We can then also “See” elemental & molecular energy phenomena (“forms” of “matter”) as transient ensembles of energy – not entangled, but knot-like, interwoven bundles of primordial energy form and flow (not incomprehensible or absurd “dark” stuff).
In other words, “dark” stuff is not just “mysterious” energy & matter “out there” in & around galaxies, it’s the subtle “chi” (or ki or prana or la) inside & around & emanating & interacting with all “forms” of cosmic phenomena (“field-effects” of universal being & life), now called galaxies, stars, quasars, photons, rays, electrons, atomic nuclei, molecules, cells, bodies, etc. For example, all the stars (etc.) of a spiral galaxy spin around an axis at the same rate of rotation. In other words, the “etc.” is the galactic sub-field of energy commonly called “dark” energy, “dark” matter, dust, plasmas, and electromagnetic phenomena (forms of energy, elements, waves, lines of force, etc.). It all spins together, sometimes, sustaining super-energetic axial vortices (AKA jets) that can extend across billions of lightyears, in straight lines, sometimes connecting other galaxies (and their “E” fields) with the same axis of rotation. So, instead of imagining that ~95% (plus or minus) of the cosmos is mysterious “dark” stuff (that ignores antique theories, ideas, silly rules and words), and that the little bit of everything we can see or detect is made out of strings, weird geometries, maths, and invisible little balls with magic powers (that came out of nothingness, nowhere, from an unstoppable explosion), we can think of the invisible ~95% of the universe is hyper-energetic, beyond detection or measurement (with scientific devices, tools & machines), and transparent (not “dark”).
Yet, quantum mechanics and other antique theories of physics were not entirely wrong, just too often misused, abused, and confused with what they partially described. More importantly, antique theories of physics maintained misperceptions and misinterpretations of real fluid mechanical energy+hyper-energy phenomena. For example, instead of thinking that hyper-tiny balls of stuff (AKA mathematical point-like charges or “wavicles”) are connected by mathematical strings (with magical power maintained by nothing), we can think of writhing, twisting multi-vortex filaments of plasma & hyper-plasma (AKA “lines of force” etc.) within, around, and connecting spheroidal multi-layered plasmoids (protons, atoms, stars, galaxies, etc.). Obviously, they “work” and look differently at the microscopic and galactic scales of form. Yet, one of the universe’s principles is clearly quasi-fractality (one of my most important discoveries). Thus, we can understand the hydrodynamics and fluid mechanical phenomena we see and detect in the visible (detectable) expanse of the cosmos (within and around us).
For more background & detail on the relevant basics, issues, implications, etc., See my papers @ my ResearchGate[.net] page, especially my “Theory & Metatheory of Atemporal Primacy” (of the essential principles of being), also “Astronomy, Geometry, and Logic” (etc.). “Awareness, Epistemics, and Paradigm Repair”–my evolving “dictionary” of next-gen science–is linked here (the Holontology page). New definitions, descriptions, and explanation of ‘lines of force’ and gravity are in progress. BTW, I hope you enjoy the amazingly symbolic visualization posted below. Cheers & best of luck etc. ~ M
