The general theory of Improvement –
problems and solutions
The following is a biological
definition of and overview of problems, solutions, and improvements.
The following production is theoretical
ideological version of a possible mathematical
understanding of the subjects promised to be expounded on in this
film. This film has the underlying transformative power to
adjust your thoughts to greater corresponding consciousness,
basically meaning
it will cause increased realism, where
thought equates to life and world more.
Before I outline this conceptual work,
I will first state threes laws
1. Life exists in relation to the total
systems it can encounter and interact with.
2. Survival depends on maintenance of a
system that is in a sense alive, in an internal/external and even
constructing/manipulating the internal/external.
3. Precise effects caused by precise
causes, can be avoided by eliminating the cause. Meaning, effects
can be prevented or allowed depending on how the cause is allowed or
prevented to exist.
I start by going into the main ideas by
asking What is human dysfunction, weakness, disability, failure?
A biological imperative of living
systems is to sustain survival, as so far the living system is
adapted to survive in a wide range of possible environments.
Dysfunction is equate to kind of weakness in the system, wherein the
attribute or operation of the system impedes or severely lessens the
chances of survival of the life-forms.
We thus think of improvement as a kind
of engineering or adaptation that takes place where in the gene-pool
or environment there is the elimination of that which
impedes survival. This is basic biological Darwinism, wherein
improvement is identified, and improvement is
conceptualized as any process that eliminates any operational or
property weakness, that lowers the chances of survival. In
other words, improvement increases chances of survival, and decreases
chance of death. This improvement is really just
in increase in strength of survivability, which I propose can be
mathematically quantified.
The first biological weakness that
comes to mind, is the fact human beings can't survive on earth, if an
asteroid of a considerable mass impacts the
surface and engulfs the atmosphere which we breath, and overturns the
surface which we have mobility and life-dependence on.
This proves that a population of
biological systems is not inherently likely to have increased risk of
death purely on biological operations and
properties, instead the environment can directly influence chances of
survive. We will see that is clearly apparent, as we
move through the problems and challenges that put human life at risk.
If the environment and biology mutually
effect strength of survivability, improvement can be pursued by
adjusting biology or environment. This is a law, which I
now label, the law of changing survivability.
The first challenge I note we face is
possible asteroid collision with earth. What are the solutions?
Solutions here mean the elimination of that which
decreases chances of survival, or implantation of that which
increases the chance of survival.
A solution is an implementation of
current actualities to manipulate survivability. When the solution is
in thought alone it is said to be in theoretical or
conceptual phase, when it actually is demonstrated it is a proven and
repeatable tactic as so far as the problem is a general
or similar problem.
Problem (1): Potential asteroid
collision destroying life.
Solution A) Chemical reactions which
entirely subdivide the mass into less deadly/massive objects. How
might this be done?
By sending drones, or sending up
capsules of sort, or even both that initiate a desired obliteration
of the dooms-day mass.
Solution B) Inhabiting other planets
with some maintained survivability upon them, after a dooms-day
asteroid destroys our planetary dependence.
Solution C)
Movement of asteroid.
Please consider contemplation of
possible solutions, and gearing yourself to working on them, because
no ends/effects exist without causes. Your are the cause.
Working on this project is to work on increasing the probability of
survival of humanity and our possible alternative forms.
Another large astronomical event which
will decrease survivability of humans as we know them now is the
sun's expansion and finally its consumption of the earth. There is a
time frame wherein we have till it becomes too hot on earth to bare life as we know it. So what are the
solutions to having our current planet dependency obliterated?
Problem (2): Earth obliterated by sun's
heat as well as sun flares, which can destroy our atmosphere and
disrupt technology.
Solution A) Slowing the phase change of
our star and its consumption of hydrogen.
Solution B) Inhabiting other planets,
solar systems, galaxies.
Solution C) A temporary solution of
using force fields, just like the earth's naturally existing fields,
to protect at least some of life in case of large discharges, if not
most of life on earth.
It appears that in our second problem
solution B is the same as solution B for problem 1. Why do we see
this duplication?
It is because the problem, is the
effect of the inhabited planet being destroyed. And it is, therefore
a law, if there are multiple planets inhabited by a
life-form its survivability increases. In other words, the law is
when a inhabited planet is threatened survival depends
on extraterrestial habitation.
Let us turn our scope inward somewhat,
to the economical instead of astronomical impacts of natural order
and chaos.
Let us visual problem (3): Scarcity
All life requires certain consumption
in order to convert energy in to biological work. This energy, can
come in form of life or prey. What man needs to consume
is what I would call metabolic-resources. How can we solve scarcity,
eliminate it or possibly eliminate the biological
cause of scarcity: biological metabolism.
Solution A) Lower demand, by lowering
population to be directly proportional to required
metabolic-resources.
Solution B) Increase reproduction of
m-r.
Solution C) Improve by transitioning
into cyborg life form that only requires free energy.
Surprisingly, though I can not measure
how hard either change is decisively, I would say A,C are just about
equally probable in this time of civilization. A isn't really
required, because most m-rs can be regenerated and can exist
in surplus.
The second problem is of scarcity (4)
is scarcity of essential industrial resources.
Solution A) Create more recyclable
materials.
Solution B) Mine off of home planet
Solution C) Nano-technology and
multi-dimensional computing.
Solution D) Proportioning population to
supply.
Solution E) Becoming cyborgs.
Lack of resources is not only an
economic problem, but can be a personal problem, an occupational
problem. The solutions are:
A) Going back to school to qualify for
a higher paying job.
B) Seeking a higher earning.
C)
Cutting down on personal expenses.
D) Getting loans or social
service assistance.
E) Converting into a robotic
life-forms.
Problem (5) Health Coverage
Solution A)
Mandatory HC
Solution B) National HC
Solution C) Laws that make some have
rights to free or cost-reduced HC.
Problem (6): Global
Warming
S: A) Reduction of fossil fuels, also
means in increase in non-destructive energy use.
S: B) Nano-bots
or machines that eliminate pollution and extra carbon.
S: C)
Cyborgism
S: D) Off planet living
Problem (7)
Inter-species Harm
S: A) Anger management and increasing
emotional intelligence.
S: B) Inhibition drugs.
S: C)
Punishment, negative reinforcement.
Not only is
dysfunctionality, weakness in relation to the economy it might be a
disability, something that inables an individual or those under the
disabilities limitations and status to be in-cable of production and
many if not all forms of economic work/productivity.
From disabilities we move on to health.
Just as there are many problems being the effect of disability there
is many problems, as the effect of illness.
Another problem we might consider is behavior that does not
comply with democratically approved governmental law. In this case like the others engineering
can also alter biology and maybe even environment to change
effects.
With all are problems and solutions environment and
usually biology must all be shifted -- manipulated at the chemical
level up.
Personal problems can range from relationship
creation/end or betterment, to management of money and personal
resources.
Relationships can be improved by compromising, by
changing reactions or treatment of one another. Sometimes
relationships are ended and may be thought of as causing problems as
well as being solutions. Marriages are broken up because of various
relationship incongruity with desires. This may create finical
problems as well as custody problems.
Relationships may also result in law
suits, where problems are taken up in court, and compensation may be
legally mandatory.
Problems and solutions are not always
directly linked to survival. Personal desires, and likes, may cause
problems. As in example I gave in a previous publication, two people
listening to music, and disagreeing because of differing tastes, is
an example of a problem caused by differing personal preferences.
Religion, or just differing ideas in differing and clashing
minds can cause problems. Religion is still a cause for war, and war
puts mankind closer to death. Peace treaties as well as renunciations
of belligerent ideas can reduce the chances of warfare.
I now
cover a problem, and that is a conversion of idea into number,
ratios, math. This problem may not seem to effect our survivability, but I think in some
inconceivable way, to me at least, its possible applications will
improve our lives and make the uncertain that much more certain.
Converting things into other things, even concept to math, or
resource to product, or chemical to cure, are all problems which
require some kind of conversion.
Each specific problem can be
faced from a different angle, and solutions proposed.
Whether
or not we increase our problems or improve is up to us and our total
ability to do so. Improvement isn't required, its optional, and
sometimes very difficult.
Improvement means decreasing problems.
This is a kind of adaptation that happens because of artificial
improvement. It usually takes less time to evolve or adapt with
engineering and medicine than it does by mutations and natural
selection driving improvement.
What about other animals how do
they improve? Many animals can only improve by natural selection. One
of the natural problems, that is something that causes increase in
chance of death, is the existence of prey-predator relationship. This
animal animal relationship isn't that big of predicament for man, but
other animals face it to a greater degree. It may be considered as a
problem, but it also my balance life out, and provide predators with
life.
We are a problem to animals we consume for energy, but
they are neither consciously aware that they are prey nor are they
aware of how to improve their lives, and avoid slaughter, expect by
distributed flight-fight response. As man converts more and more to a
robotic life, and can reproduce foods artificially without having to
kill, our predator relationship with other animals will vanish.
How might we improve other life-forms?
That greatly depends on the life-forms and how they relate to the
rest of nature. We could spend our time in the future working on
improving the lives of many animals, even engineering some of them to
be self-improving – evolving initiated by their minds. Its an
interesting prospect, not having much thought invested into it.
Here we have looked at problem solving,
but there is also the possibility of problem creation.
It would seem as a universal law,
beings which obtained immortality and the highest levels of
survivability are a final destination, an ultimate end of
evolution -- mainly being of life-forms which can escape the death of
planets, galaxies, even universes, and escape death or
total entropy of their cellular or mechanical life processes.
With
consciousness or knowledge, the continuum of memory would be required
for temporal identification of immortal existence, as well as a
continued application of data and improvement thereof.
These same problems we face, are
problems that most all civilizations can face, depending on how
similar they are too us or more improved they are.
In m-theory, we might include this
universal end, as having already been reached by beings. It might be
necessary that at first less "improved"
beings slowly increased their survivability so a time-line of
development or causality positions that actualize the highest end in the
continuum.
Severity of problem = -(chance of
survival) + Time till
