I have taken steps to self-publish a book project I have been working on.

This is exciting.

More about this later. It may be available on Amazon in the next three to five months.

I'm revising my nathancoppedge.com website to suit authorship and publishing.

The Age of the Mitochondria and Space Exploration

It seems, upon some recent science fiction musings, that we have entered an age of the Mitochondria; Refueling space-ships that travel between stars will require a vast amount of fuel; The obvious source of energy for this fuel is the sun, but situated so far from the sun as the earth, that energy is not fully available; Although eventually such energy might be "quantum teleported" into the fuel tank, or back to earth, in what might seem like the near future to the industrial space agencies, the sun might be used like a solar generator for sun-orbiting satellites or local spacecraft, even before exploration moves beyond our solar system.

As it is known, various "capsules" have already traveled the distance of Mars, and I believe one even went to Pluto; A new generation of scientists is currently working on a manned spacecraft to travel to mars---as reported in Popular Science; What this might be called is the age of the Mitochondria, the power generator for individual animal's cell structure;

Suitably, philosophy of this period could become highly advanced, beyond mere "postulations" into an age of "active, dynamic information;" I'm excited, as I feel some of these 'advents' have direct social applications that may appear in cafes or other public areas vis. 'modular citizen' and 'virtual capital'

Also see my comments at Esther Dyson's technology column at http://www.project-syndicate.org recently, "avant-garde information" and in other places, "digital marketing devices" and the correspondence between games and society.

Ideas and Society

Thoughts of agenda are like technology: they work on a microcosmic and macrocosmic level; There is a technology of the citizen and a technology of government, which are integrative; Applications are the new paradigm of "interface interfacing," (interface being the razor of metaphysical circumstance in a time of technology); Applications create function-based concepts of knowledge and experience, much like the Dadaists influenced perspectives on writing during the second world war; Such perspectives are deeply intuitive;

Small seeds, germinations of thought, become very capacitous in their state of reference, such as through paradigm-definition, or through variable-mobilization, in the sense of presenting a new pretext for pseudology, that ground where new ideas emerge;

There is a "transcendant" level of this interfacing, a vertical or hierarchical structuring creating node-based corroborations of thought experiments which may be termed the "animals of the applications;" From the most dynamic idea comes an "upshot" a transcendental isomorphism to use logical terminology, through which some mysterious "delineation" dominates and prospers; This idea suggests that we should allow very small pieces of information to influence large networks, if only the standard of application is perfectible; The result, on the obvious level, is hierarchical information (not persons, importantly, at least there is an ambiguity there); Also, there is a kind of poetics to commerce and communication that serves personal psychology imperatively; It is a new paradigm of "superficial chemistry" served via the easy influence of images upon intellects;

Beyond the "Ouroboros" or self-swallowing snake of applications-singularity, and the architectural plotting of aggregate information storages (as though by color, or perfection, or complexity), there is an applications-or-input paradigm of personal dynamic;

This depends on cultural support for interface-nature, either minimalistically (hints of information) or elaboratively (via applications-based public programs); For example, psychological tests can define superficial agendas like the appearance of walls, and sophisticated programs can create a new kind of artwork based on electrode surveying;

The role of the artist merges with the role of the bureaucrat, through simple questions, and bases for authority; Higher principles become common principles, and higher paradigms may rely on the input of the common citizen;

But moreover, there is a need for applications-aesthetic ideas, the call of the philosopher, not just in terms of economics, but in terms of the "superficial" variables that imitate economics; With electronic screens, the city has a new obligation to mystery, both in marketing, and as a dynamic for psychological and systematic functionality;

The role of ideas in such an environment is quite open and expressive; The first step is not to relate money with ideas directly, but the last step is to award many valuable ideas with small cash; This creates a structural program that deserves reflection in sophisticated systems;

Finally, there can be major programs (like book projects, only electronic) that compose aspects of digital culture, organizing them into mystery-functional control and applications networks; That electrode caps should be implemented in a survey framework that already has common appeal, and serves the interest of public networks and benefits should be taken-for-granted;

The subtlest level is the appeal of the public philosopher, and the genius of teenagers, who have the most irrational and at that same time unconventional and inspiring motivation::

Technological Paradigms

Something should be said in the future about the nature of the modular citizen in relation to concepts of government, and intellectual categories; I find this stimulating in relation to combinatorial thought, and social science. Much is underused in the boundary between social thinking and technology and philosophy--- the typical answer is to be a generalist to the point of nausea, but that is not the only warranted response---there is another category, of the intellectual integrator, or perhaps "process mechanist" that is not always hard science, but interprets qualities for their influences within scientific or logical domains; This influence is broadly sociological in its capacity, but not its source of thought;

Some writers have abandoned the epiphany as a source of reference and relavence; Simple tools like rhyming and categories can inspire ideas like "the second zero" which may seem redundant, but are actually powerful tools, like the drill or the hammer (not to speak stupidly of these, but rather to use them as political thought experiments).

What is not notorious about the most notorious genius serves utilities beyond common sense, and still extraordinary, still, as if by ultimatum, ordinary: Nietzsche is like this; I find his aphorisms have a sociological sense that was not well reflected while he was alive. Madness is a tool for thought, he understood better than many others; it is this kind of double-negative resourcefulness that prospers in the field of "pseudo-culture"; that formative path where philosophy may prosper as a way of life::

A Writing Project

I've completed some pages of my undisclosed writing project. My father recommends self-publishing.

I found a blog about fusion power, which exists in England (as distinguished from cold fusion, which has been termed impossible);

Energy is broadly inspiring for hyper-cubic artwork, which I have continued to give away for free with the hope that others will re-sell the work after framing it themselves.

It would be a divine snafu if I found a means to invent a perpetual device following counter-intuitive rules, this would be very inspiring for artwork and philosophy, but not as much for the nature of history.

History is a perverse feat of numbers. Theoretically, anyone who has an original idea of numbers can win at history. But this is not what everyone believes.

There is one theory that the decimal system ends at 49 because of squares and inclusiveness. It seems arbitrary to some. I think its a neat idea. Along with the second zero, which in depth may have the potential to change mathematics---e.g. many theories overstepped the concept of zero significantly.
