Heuristic Challenges for a Single Model of Nature and the Supporting Mathematics

Authors: Donald G. Palmer
Comments: 24 Pages.

Over the last several centuries, science has discovered objects in the world along a continuum of scale. In one direction, we have found planets and stars, galaxies and galaxy clusters. In the other direction we have found cells and proteins, atoms and neutrinos. In order to locate and model this world, we use the 3 traditional directions of length, width and height. However inherent in all our measurements is the scale of what we are measuring — a continuum we do not directly see with our eyes. The author presents the hypothesis that we need to include this continuum in a complete model of nature and our world. A key reason we do not understand this direction as part of our world is that we do not know how to measure along this continuum because we lack the mathematical tools to do so. The author presents the mathematical conjecture that the appropriate tools require a numeric representational system with more power than our traditional decimal or positional based numerals. Such a system could provide a single value for complex numbers and has built into it more operations than addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, and exponentiation/logarithms (from whence the new system gets its additional power). The author anticipates this to be the beginning of a much larger discussion, looking at a perspective of reality where objects at all levels of scale exist and interact together and considers some directions for defining more powerful mathematical tools than we have today.

How to Save Human Civilization

Authors: Vitaly Pilkin
Comments: 11 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

Human civilization will have a chance to move to a higher level of its historical development, if non-Western societies unite and humanity is divided into two opposing unifications of societies (Western and non-Western). The unification that will be historically promising will win this confrontation.

Addressing Ten Fingers (2)

Authors: Manaka Shunyuu
Comments: 30 Pages.

We try to express "50 ON" using the body parts namely finger, arm, tongue, eyelid, mouth, face, neck and eyeball for address specification. We call the way body sign. Because both body sign and artificial voice which is generated from the algorithm of body sign have perfect compatibility on voice of a person who has normal vocal function, they can be applied to stuttering treatment.
