The distance between a point and itself is 0 aka the path exists meaning something connects an initial condition or or state to a final condition or state, geometric series start at 1, etc.

You can secure a totalitarian society with 3, you can secure an authoritarian society with 3, and you can also secure a democratic society with 3.

So, 31 and all its glory is readable on the T! Let’s remind ourselves this is half the picture. It doesn’t end with a complete proof: it ends with something you secure.

It was a privilege to speak at the Oxford Chabad Society about freedom of speech, civility, and the urgent need to confront antisemitism. Freedom of speech lies at the heart of any great university and of any democracy worth the name. But it is not, as I said in my remarks,

How do you reconcile 2+ information objects by accumulating shared truths in some way that doesn’t force coherence?

Or are you more on the side of using finance to fracture a person’s sense of identity, family and life experience where you have to assure personal loss and destruction to create wedges between people?

Frame the purpose of what security is about with the eschaton—committing to the ā€œblobā€ and commitments about the ā€œblobā€ as the initial state of the new paradigm—period. Has the translation proof for algebraic lambda calculus been solved? Given a program that’s expressed in a

Let's play a little SQL game. Here are the rules: a simple schema (two columns, id and adopted) and two clients (blue and orange) sending interleaved commands. No other transactions.

The world needs more than ever the powerful witness of men and women of all religions living together in unity, friendship and cooperation. In this true way, we can work jointly to achieve the peace, justice and reconciliation so desperately needed today. May we never lose hope

Think about a region R as a set of addresses to raw data, plus a living manifest. The commitments bind behavior to R’s manifest, not to people’s intentions.

Okay, let’s anchor this in peace-building terms and make it mechanical, not mystical. You want guarantees before reconciliation finishes, so we need commitments that lock how a region can be touched, cited, and acted on while it’s still unresolved.

In a pure peace building sense, how can we jump through reconciliation with guarantees about it before it’s taken place? What can you do with sets of addresses to raw data that preserves the truthfulness of the graph but ensures what can be done with it aka fencing yes, no lifts,
