Fine-Structure Constant from Golden Ratio Geometry

Authors: Michael A. Sherbon
Comments: 17 Pages. International Journal of Mathematics and Physical Sciences Research, 5, 2, 89-100 (2018).

After a brief review of the golden ratio in history and our previous exposition of the fine-structure constant and equations with the exponential function, the fine-structure constant is studied in the context of other research calculating the fine-structure constant from the golden ratio geometry of the hydrogen atom. This research is extended and the fine-structure constant is then calculated in powers of the golden ratio to an accuracy consistent with the most recent publications. The mathematical constants associated with the golden ratio are also involved in both the calculation of the fine-structure constant and the proton-electron mass ratio. These constants are included in symbolic geometry of historical relevance in the science of the ancients.

Letter to a Friend on Rumsfeld's Unknown Unknown ...

Authors: Elemer E Rosinger
Comments: 14 Pages. It may also interest the VIXRA Category of "Religion and Spirituality"

The essay is about how to recover the vast majority of the present day Western world from their aggressive secularism, and do so with the help of the concept of UNKNOWN UNKNOWN introduced - rather accidentally - back in 2002 by Donald Rumsfeld ...

Holistic Resource Management System

Authors: InResLab scarl
Comments: 7 Pages.

I sistemi di facility management, definiti come dei sistemi contenenti dei veicoli e del personale al quale vengono associati dei determinati oggetti in un determinato spazio tridimensionale per lo svolgimento di una determinata operazione, sono un luogo di lavoro dinamico e complesso: mezzi in movimentazione, alta quantità di personale, elevato numero di potenziali situazioni di rischio, grande varietà di strumentazioni (talora anche pericolose), alto numero di scenari differenti. In un contesto così variegato, pertanto, risulta di fondamentale importanza una gestione meticolosa e puntale di tutti gli aspetti caratteristici del sistema di facility management stesso, al fine di migliorare la gestione e la sicurezza dei lavoratori. Vista la varietà di scenari in cui il facility management si cala, nel presente progetto si è cercato di astrarre gli aspetti fondamentali, studiando tecniche e metodologie per realizzare un management intelligente di tali sistemi sotto vari punti di vista, tra cui: gestione delle risorse, sicurezza, prevenzione degli infortuni, alerting e reportistica. Lo studio portato avanti è di tipo metodologico e modellistico, legato all’accuratezza del dato acquisito e al grado di automatizzazione dell’acquisizione. Per tale motivo si è proceduto alla realizzazione di un sistema di tracciamento delle entità – basato non solo sul più noto GPS, ma anche su tecnologie trasversali, in grado di avere informazioni valide in molteplici scenari – in grado di fornire informazioni con elevata accuratezza. Il progetto si prefigge in seguito l’obiettivo di validare statisticamente la precisione delle misurazioni, incrociando i dati provenienti da dispositivi, tecnologie e modalità di acquisizione dati differenti.

Sustainable Reason-Based Governance After the Globalisation Complexity Threshold

Authors: Andrei P. Kirilyuk
Comments: 17 pages, 17 refs; work submitted for the Global Challenges Prize 2017, https://globalchallenges.org/en/our-work/the-new-shape-prize; only minor linguistic corrections and references added in this version with respect to the original article

We propose a qualitatively new kind of governance for the emerging need to efficiently guide the densely interconnected, ever more complex world development, which is based on explicit and openly presented problem solutions and their interactive implementation practice within the versatile, but unified professional analysis of complex real-world dynamics, involving both the powerful central units and the attached creative worldwide network of professional representatives. We provide fundamental and rigorous scientific arguments in favour of introduction of just that kind of governance at the modern development stage, after the complexity threshold in the real world dynamics evolution (sometimes intuitively designated as "globalisation"), where the traditional spontaneous-empirical kind of development and related administrative governance lose dramatically and inevitably their efficiency and the necessity of explicit consistent understanding and guidance of complex real-world dynamics becomes evident.

The Course of History :Substantive Philosophy of History and the Scientific Study of History Explained

Authors: Rochelle Forrester
Comments: 14 Pages.

The ultimate cause of much historical, social and cultural change is the gradual accumulation of human knowledge of the environment. Human beings use the materials in their environment to meet their needs and increased human knowledge of the environment enables human needs to be met in a more efficient manner. The human environment has a particular structure so that human knowledge of the environment is acquired in a particular order. The simplest knowledge is acquired first and more complex knowledge is acquired later. The order of discovery determines the course of human social and cultural history as knowledge of new and more efficient means of meeting human needs, results in new technology, which results in the development of new social and ideological systems. This means human social and cultural history, has to follow a particular course, a course that is determined by the structure of the human environment. Given that a certain level of knowledge will result in a particular type of society, it is possible to ascertain the types of societies that were inevitable in human history. The course of history is not random and can be rationally and scientifically understood.

Dialogue on Alternating Consciousness: From Perception to Infinities and Back to Free Will

Authors: Claus Janew
Comments: 46 Pages. CC-BY 4.0 / Janew, Claus. 2014. Journal of Consciousness Exploration & Research 5, no. 4: 351-391

Can we trace back consciousness, reality, awareness, and free will to a single basic structure without giving up any of them? Can the universe exist in both real and individual ways without being composed of both? This dialogue founds consciousness and freedom of choice on the basis of a new reality concept that also includes the infinite as far as we understand it. Just the simplest distinction contains consciousness. It is not static, but a constant alternation of perspectives. From its entirety and movement, however, there arises a freedom of choice being more than reinterpreted necessity and unpredictability. Although decisions ultimately involve the whole universe, they are also free in varying degrees here and now. The unity and openness of the infinite enables the individual to be creative while this creativity directly and indirectly enters into all other individuals without impeding them. A contrary impression originates only in a narrowed awareness. But even the most conscious and free awareness can neither anticipate all decisions nor extinguish individuality. Their creativity is secured.
