"real-valued time" is why, we have quaternions;
it's the "scalar" in Hamilton's lingo of vectors.

now, you mentioned tensors, and that is apropos, because
it is used for stress & strain, which are clearly irrereversible;
perhaps, that is one of the first math-physics examples
of it.

thusNso:
I haven't read _Disquisitiones_ in Latin, either, but
there are good translations & it is highly recommended
by the LaRouchies ... they should put it
on their website, like they have *Les OEuvres du Fermatttt*, but
you can look at some cool tutorials, in the meantime,
at wlym.com.

thusNso:
I never read a word about Palin's hubbie's Seccesh "movement"
in the Liberal Media (Owned by consWervatives) and
that is sort-of the issue in AZ. I'm all for kids whose parents
managed to sneak
across the border & give birth, but I was taken aback
by the "sense of entitlement" that the older kids have, about college
(the DREAM Act; I stated to a group of them, that
crossing the border is essentially a Mexican "rite of passage," and
it is certainly not very dangerous as a proper hike, if you check the
FAQs
and maps & so forth from the Mexican goment (and those advocacy/
haven groups in the USA). well, it's either that or college *in*
Mexico, or
you'll probably be made to join a gang.

La Raza d'Atzlan are openly racist, not just by their title; at least,
that's the impression that I got, attending one of their meetings
at UCLA, two or three years ago -- it's in their God-am constitution.

of course, teh real problem is "free trade," and this is already here
to roost;
the little spill in the Gulf is being used by British Petroleum --
which is also
the #1 driller in the Alaska North Slope, that Ted Palin works for --
to creata an "outsourcing" mandate to solve the problem, because
we can't do it with our post-industrial cargo cult.

well, screw it;
read LaRouche, if you want to know the history with Lincoln
and his "Spot Resolutions;"
Cinco de Mayo should be a pan-american holiday!

thusNso:
Dear AG candidate Kelly;
no change from Jerry Brown's '69 "platform," eh?

it is intolerably stupid, insofar as we do need "fossilized fuels TM
(sik),"
to not get our share from our own "reserves." really, though,
it is merely biomass, and the techniques have progressed since '69.

Dubya's bro's ban offshore of Florida (and Louisiana) seemed like
a tactical maneuver to support the oilcos' scarcity programme
in our state. (why O why O why do folks believe,
that the oilcos did not support the Kyoto Protoccol,
which was just another cap'n'trade "free trade" nostrum,
that Dubya'd have undoubtdely signed, if he had been told?)

British Petroleum, the balls-out advocate of cap'n'trade,
"Beyond Petroleum," is also the biggest company
in the Alaska North Slope -- doesn't any body wonder,
why no-one asked Palin about her BP-employed hubbie, and
his Seccesionist ideals?

one must take into consideration, with all of the hype about it,
that oil comes out of the ground underwater in "seeps,"
under pressure. so, how much would come out, if
BP et al ad vomitorium were not pumping like crazy?

Waxman's current cap'n'trade bill just mandatorizes the huge,
voluntary cap'n'trade since 2003 -- tens of billions
in hedging per annum. what the Liberal Media (Ownwd
by consWervative) don't talk about, is that
he brought the first cap'n'trade bill in '91,
under HW (who worked with Gore on the Kyoto cap'n'trade).

what it amounts to, as Waxman basically admitted to,
when he was at UCLA, is "let the arbitrageurs raise the price
of energy, as much as they can in the 'free market' --
free beer, freedom!"

a small, adjustable carbon tax would achieve the same ends
-- as I even read "in passing" in a guest editorial in the WSUrinal,
as well as from an "expert" in a UCLA seminar, but who said that
it was (some how) "politically impossible" --
without being the Last Bailout of Wall Street (and the City of
London).

Within the unit shell model (constrain distance to unity in nD to
yield n-1D space) this makes temendous sense, though the possibility
of reverse spin modes would suggest some dynamics. Picture rotational
axes in toward the origin from the shell, then this direction is
nonobservable from a shell constrained object. This is a Flatland
interpretation. Anyway, the ordinary principle of rotational moment
are not necessarily to be upheld within this pardigm. Rather it
should be recovered as an extension of the paradigm, and preferably
from simpler principles, or principles that yield more consequents
than just mass. I don't think that the nonobservable concept is
complete, and that is good, since we would like to witness
interactions if we are elements of that shell. Stability as you
mention is a good thing to consider. This makes me ponder the vortex
models that some are fond of. You like those right? There are some
problems with this model, but they are there for all models. The
puzzle is what to grant and how slight can the grant be?

For me I would like to try to adapt polysign into this space, but I'm
not seeing it too well just yet.

Hi Tim
of course I wanted to model vortices. Still a bit difficult, but you
could imagine a galaxy to be a fractal vortex. Those could be seen from
various angles and would exhibit different behavior. Than a black hole
is a region, where you see 'time from the backside'. (Sorry, but have no
better words). This is 'black', because radiation is sent into a
direction, in which we are not. Or: we are not in the future light-cone
of such a region. But as it is a fractal relation, the smaller objects
could have other axes and send radiation in our direction, what we could
see as a ring, spiral or as jets. But these are all optical illusions.
Hence 'being there' (or to see those structures as local observers),
would make them disappear. This is a critical point, because a lot of
cosmology is concerned with such phenomena, that seem to be the result
of misconceptions. Mainly the concept of space itself is problematic. If
space is kind of curved, than we would certainly make big mistakes about
the real configurations of seen objects in space and time.
Here is a nice essay I just found:
http://www.poams.org/wp-content/files/Extraordinary_Physics.pdf
I disagree in some points - mainly I think, the idea of real particles
is wrong, but we could model them on the same basis as spacetime itself-
(this is why I titled my book this way), but worth reading, anyhow. And
they don't explain, why they want to have an angular-momentum paradigm.
The bi-quaternion system would allow to explain this.

A vortex has a rotation around to the left and right and a twist
perpendicular. This goes round twice to return. This seem to be the
scheme, the light-mill would work, too. And that in four-dimensions
(where the direction of the vortex denotes the direction of time) is,
what I have in mind, and that scaled up and down in a fractal fashion.
To achieve this, I need only a relatively simple mechanism and assume
this to be fundamental. That is the connection of something I call
'elements of spacetime', that are connected to their 'neighbors' in a
way as if quaternions are multiplied.

Greetings

Thomas

Can there be multiple rotational axes as long as they reside outside the
body of the object? The question of the nuclei wouldn't arise (??? )then
because the group can rotate together about any number of external axes
(but about only one internal axis at any one time). Here, each successive
larger axis of rotation must absorb the entire orbit of rotation about the
preceding smaller axis. In effect, the smaller orbit itself becomes the
object of rotation about the larger axis. Let me get a cup of coffee.
My brain wants to really believe this; but whenever that happens, I know
it's a trap. ;)

Thinking about this longer, doesn't rotation imply restoration? Can
precessionary forces involving multiple axes ever restore a point such that
we can measure its periodicity?

One question begets another.

Just thinking out loud ... say you have a solid sphere. Spin it about the
Y-axis. Simultaneously, spin it about the X-axis. Can this be done
without changing the fixed relation of the sphere's composing atoms?
My intuition says no. Which is why I propose that multiple axes of spin
can only be achieved if the axes reside outside the body of the object;
moreover, that successive imparted spins must involve the entire orbit of
the previous imparted spin. It's a tad abstract.

Then there's the circular saw. You can turn it on its natural axis and
cut yourself a nice piece of lumber, but if you place the next spin axis
anywhere where it intersects any part of the blade's peripheral orbit ...
watch out.

Hi
maybe that picture matches it quite good. But it is still a picture and
kind of simplification.
These spheres are nested into each other. We get a fractal behavior,
because we could scale it up or down.
So, lets put an observer somewhere. How would that look like? Let's
select a sphere and put somebody there. Than we have spheres with larger
scales and smaller ones and one to stand on.
Since the larger would spin outside (on the up-scale), the small spheres
would spin below (on the small scale). In the middle we have a medium
scale, where our observer belongs to. This position gets fixed, because
the observer would spin with it.
Now time enters the picture, because the larger spheres are not only
larger, but have lower frequency, while smaller spin faster.

The axis have to be exchanged with change of level. For the 'up level'
we have one, one for the middle level and one for the level below. Each
had to stand 'perpendicular' to each other. For e.g. the Earth, we
could use its axis. Than we have a direction 'perpendicular' in up
direction. This exchanges spacelike with timelike to match the picture.
On the next level, it would change again. So we would expect some kind
of axis perpendicular to a direction, that is perpendicular to our
ecliptic (if we take the solar system as such a sphere, too. Actually
the system is a vortex). This axis seems to be observable, only that we
call such an axis 'jet'. To our 'home-vortex', the sun would match such
a description, because it radiates as do the jets.
On the level below, we could look down and find various stuff, that seem
to consist of tiny spherical structures, which are themselves composed
out of tiny spherical objects.
