Chapter 133: The Key to Social Engineering is in a Physics that is Physical

by Darryl Penney

Abstract: fundamental physics needs the correct conservation law that is actually based on the physical and not on ‘inspired guesses’, such as the existing conservation of energy, the law of gravitation, quantum mechanics etc. and this requires a new way of thinking that completes physics by adding the emotional energy generated by measuring organisation (and vice versa for thought), and thus derives a new social engineering that is complementary to materials engineering that, for the first time, enables us to understand, guide and control our civilisation and manage outcomes. This new thinking has to replace the existing animal-type thinking of the hunter-gatherer because we currently have no goals, and relativity says that we need to aim for Nietzsche’s superman and that requires a general mathematical physics that is complete and contains the social engineering that is necessary to achieve it.

‘“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”

(A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens, Para. 1, Line, 1). This passage suggests an age of radical opposites taking place across the English Channel, in France and the United Kingdom respectively.’ (Internet) This well-remembered quotation is well-remembered because it it a statement of relativity and a truth because the universe is based on relativity and the quotation can be applied to everything and anything. For example, technology has produced a fascinating lifestyle of cars, freeways, phones, computers etc., but our civilisation is fraught with internal organisational problems that will probably destroy it, just as every other civilisation throughout history has destroyed itself.

The basic problem is that we use the thinking of the animals and ignore population numbers and just like every other animal, our numbers swell and crash with the food supply, wars and pestilence. The answer is simple, if we want a stable civilisation, we need to think differently to the animals and this can be done simply by changing the software [‘New Think”] that we use in our brain to produce the mind. Consider the two quotations:

‘Today’s problems cannot be solved with today’s mind’ ,

Albert Einstein and many great thinkers …

(Fair Food, edited by Nick Rose, p 250)

‘Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the superman – a rope over an abyss’.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

(Superhuman, Rowan Hooper, p 305)

These two quotations are simple relatives, firstly, that if we can not solve a problem, we need to change the way that we think to solve it, and secondly, we have to have a goal to aim towards [relativity]. So, let’s use “New Think” and aim for a superman that would encompass the simple remedy of making sure that the population is controlled. However, this simple remedy seems to be, at the moment, completely beyond us, I believe, because physics is not what we think it is, it is not basic and not complete. There are people that wish the population to keep growing because that keeps people employed building infrastructure, new houses etc., but that is a short-term view and is a restriction. Population growth is determined on the family level and the problems accrue at the government level and to keep a hungry population in check and this often means war.“New Think” requires us to take Newtonian physics, even though it is flawed, but suits our current way of thinking and adds the physical, because Newtonian physics, incredibly, is not based on the physical. We laugh at the ‘armchair’ musings of the ancient Greeks, such as their thinking that the planets obeyed the ‘music of the spheres’, but their ideas held sway for thousands of years, so, in time, we will laugh at Newtonian physics for being based on a ‘couple of balls’ and trying to understand the universe with that concept.

“New Think” links Newtonian physics [the mind] with the physical through an orthogonality [up-down] as well as including relativity [sideways] and the necessary restrictions. For example, a restriction is that having children requires a sacrifice [in loco parentis] to perpetuate the species, but, many religions expect that children should reciprocate and acknowledge the parent, which is a restriction of the mind, or another example in the physical, is that the universe must expand to exist, but to call it a Big Bang is misguided. “New Think” allows us to not only understand fundamental physics, but we can extend physics to include the energy of emotion and that allows a social engineering to balance materials engineering [as an orthogonality]. When we have this complete picture, of a simple fractal universe, we have the means to control the actions of people, groups, countries etc. simply and easily and so we have the means of preventing the disintegration of civilisations as has occurred in the past. In other words, this paper shows the means of controlling civilisation, saving the planet from over-exploitation, ‘adjusting’ extreme personality disorders, restricting population numbers voluntarily and producing a happy ending forever.

This scenario may seem a little ‘tongue in cheek’, but it is not, and the proof is in the Form of the Universe, below, where for the first time, ever, the law of gravitation is derived, the reason why the speed of light must be constant to any measurer and quantum gravity are simple absolutes. Quantum mechanics is shown not to exist, in the sense that it is easily explainable by “New Think” [concept] and general mathematical physics [context], for example, Born’s rule is obvious from the law of gravitation, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle is simply explained, below, that position and momentum are orthogonal and energy and time are dimensions and it is a nonsense that they can be measured exactly. Whilst these explanations are simple, it is the predictions based on the new law of conservation [of energy and organisation] that are most interesting because energy [emotion] is created by seeing [hearing, thinking or otherwise measuring] organisation, such as Church services, sculptures, monumental buildings, beauty, elegance etc. This is the secret behind the uniform, the strange regalia of the priest, the judge, the policeman, the soldier’s ‘dress’ uniform etc. all designed to instil an appropriate emotion and in a fractal, the same effect occurs in religion, governance, parliament, kings and queens etc.

In a fractal, everything is simple and even the ancient Greeks recognised the correct tools [democracy and the market] that are obvious from the creation equation [that I call the mathematics of concept-context], of which traditional mathematics is a special case, based on the number-line and not on the much simpler orthogonality. This sentence shows that physics [and mathematics, philosophy etc.] is firstly, not simple enough, and secondly, not complete and the key to governance [democracy] and economics [the market] are off-shoots of the creation equation and we must acknowledge Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” that says ‘what is good for the individual is good for the economy in general’ is simply a property of a fractal, and we see that democracy is the same, with restrictions. Clearly, because our civilisation is part of the universe, the creation equation applies, but so do restrictions, and the interesting part is that we have left physics behind and we are now dealing with sociology. As an explanation, physics had to be extended downwards to the creation equation [because everything is entangled at the creation equation and/or for orthogonality, at the origin, zero] to find the orthogonality, which we now follow outwards to derive civilisation [social engineering] and that completes physics [as a relativity, but still part of general mathematical physics]. In other words, the hard part has been done, through physics to the creation equation and now, with a solid ‘bedrock’ [of the creation equation] we can use the market and democracy to look at social engineering and civilisation [and be confident that we are correct].

Civilisations have come and gone throughout history and they have left their ruins and degraded soil, for example, ‘malaria became a serious concern about 200 BC when silt eroded from cultivated uplands clogged the Tiber River and the agricultural valley that centuries before supported more than a dozen towns became the infamous Pontine Marshes.’ (Dirt: the Erosion of Civilisations, David R. Montgomery, p 58) The British Empire was the last classical empire that “invaded” [see below] new lands to farm more food, and is the last of its type, because the world is full and between population growth and soil degradation, the world is being exhausted. ‘Before the Second World War, western Europe was the world’s only grain-importing region….. Today North America, Australia, and New Zealand are the world’s only major grain exporters.’ (p 170) If we are to save the world, we need to save civilisation and we need a stated goal [relativity] and there is little choice than that goal be a limited number of Nietzsche’s supermen/women because today’s essentially unregulated breeding lacks restrictions. [Restriction include that it must be voluntary, compensated and based on truths.]

‘The British Empire “invaded”’ illustrates a very important point that underlies “New Think” and at the ‘heart’ of social engineering is the problem that social engineering appears to be an oxymoron in that engineering is an exact measured science whilst social aspects are anything but exact, and “invaded” is a case in point. “New Think” makes decisions based on absolutes, restrictions and truths. Everything in the universe is relative to something else, and at the same time entangled with everything else [through the creation equation] whilst the ‘form’ of the universe is determined by the four absolutes that have had the relativity ‘stripped’ out of them by being ratios and the fifth is a restriction [see below]. Truths are things that may not be correct, but probably are correct through usage, and as an example, survival of the fittest is generally held to be true, and Lemarkism to be false, but considered in “New Think”, survival of the fittest is energy [the atoms are condensed energy], which are the genes, and the genes determine the form of the animal, but also, that energy has an associated organisation that is commonly called epigenetics [which turns genes on and off] that is more useful in the short-term [and is similar to Lemarkism] and is an organisation.

Thus, whilst ‘The British Empire “invaded”’ places like Australia, where the indigenous population had been isolated from the rest of the world for 50,000 years, from the point of view of evolution and survival of the fittest, they were given the opportunity to compete. Competition becomes necessary when resources, like food, are limited and survival of the fittest removes the less fit and a restriction was the susceptibility to European diseases. Just as the ‘armchair’ theoretical physics isolated physics from the physical world and gave the illusion of completeness until modern physics came along, so, social aspects of social engineering have equal validity [to engineering] when matched to evolutionary and current social trends and the means of procuring survival of the fittest can be replaced by a more compassionate method, providing the end result is attained. An example of how necessary are restrictions can be gauged by the fact that even the best of Nietzsche’s supermen are of no use without the will to breed with its accompanying diverting of resources and this importance is accentuated by everyone of us having an unbroken chain of ancestors stretching back some 3,000 million years [if we did not, we would not be here].

Perhaps I should finish [the macro examples] with some quotations that shows that we are being misinformed and that we need a social engineering to prioritise social issues concerning food supply. ‘In November, 1892, Hilgard spoke of how soil exhaustion shaped the fate of empires. “In an agricultural commonwealth, the fundamental requirement of continued prosperity is . . . that the fertility of the soil must be maintained . . . The result of the exhaustion of the soil is simply depopulation; the inhabitants seeking in migration, or in conquest, the means of subsistence and comfort denied them by sterile soil at home.” Hilgard warned that improvident use of the soil would lead America to the same end as Rome.'(p 189) ‘No significant differences in crop yields where legumes or manure were used instead of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.'(p 201) ‘genetically modified soybean seeds produced smaller harvests than natural seeds when he analyzed more than eight thousand field trials.’ (p 205) ‘Long-term studies show that organic farming increases both energy efficiency and economic returns.’ (p 207) ‘One of the most persistent agricultural myths is that larger mechanized farms are more efficient and profitable than smaller traditional farms. . . A 1989 National Research Council study flatly contradicted the bigger is more efficient myth of American agriculture.’ (p 159) ‘Wheat yields from conventionally fertilized and organic plots were within 2 percent of each other, but the soil quality measured in terms of carbon and nitrogen levels improved over time in the organic plots. (p 208)

Finally, firstly, managers and share-farmers are less likely to maintain and build the land than a family of owners, and a farm seems a more fitting place for a future superman/woman, especially considering today’s communication connectiveness. Secondly, these farms do not need to be big, ‘in the mid-nineteeth century, one sixth of Paris was used to produce more than enough salad greens, fruits and vegetables to meet the city’s demand – fertilized by the million tons of horse manure produced by the city’s transportation system’ [French gardening] (p 243). Thirdly, eventually it may well be worth reconfiguring the downstream end of modern sewerage systems to close the loop on nutrient cycling by returning the waste from livestock and people back to the soil. (p 243) Fourthly, ‘the world’s loess belts in the American plains, Europe, and northern China, where thick blankets of easily farmed silt can sustain extensive farming even once the original soil disappears.’ (p 244) ‘Counterintuitively, for the world beyond the loess belts this challenge requires more people on the land, practicing intensive organic agriculture on smaller farms, using technology but not high capitalization. (p 245)

The outlook for our civilisation is bleak, according to History, by telling us that whilst population increases to absorb the available food supply, eventually an extended drought occurs, coupled with soil degradation that causes the breakdown of each civilisation. However, “New Think” gives hope that we can manage our world because it shows that we can maintain a stable food supply, above, with the means of voluntarily controlling the numbers and type of population [see later]. The ‘take-home’ message is that the aim, generated by the success of Christianity, of a ‘second coming’, as a goal [relativity] of Christianity, appears attainable through social engineering, albeit with the ‘earth-bound’ heaven of Nietzsche.

Form of the Universe

Relativity is the functioning of the universe and a lack of relativity is the form of the universe and a lack of relativity is easily created [and our understanding of the universe] by the ratios of the dimensions [energy (E), organisation (O), time (t) and length (l)] created by expansion. The five absolutes are firstly, the sum of energy and organisation is always zero [from the creation equation (1+(-1))=0], secondly, energy and organisation [dark energy] are necessarily created to balance the necessary expansion [for the creation equation to exist] of the universe [E/t+O/t, all volume], thirdly, the constant speed of light [with respect to any measurer] is l/t (all E and O) and fourthly, gravity [so called quantum gravity] is E/l+O/l (all t). The law of gravitation is:

E(mass1)/l times (for relativity) E(mass2)/l plus O(mass1)/l times (for relativity) O(mass2)/l

Notice that the ‘inverse square law’ is inappropriate [one mass,charge etc. can not exist] and is actually derived from the absolutes and the ‘+’ in the creation equation stands for all relationships [physical, logical, restrictive, use etc.] between two entities. Further, ‘as with the Schrodinger equation itself, we still have no fundamental way of deriving Born’s rule.’ (Beyond Weird, Phillip Ball, p 41) ‘If the amplitude of an electron wavefunction at x is 1 (in some units), and at y it is 2, then repeated experiments to determine the electron’s position will find it at y four times (2×2) more often than at x…. How did Born know this? He didn’t. Again, he “guessed”’. (p 41). In every oscillation between a wave and particle [wave-particle duality], the particle has to reappear somewhere, and it appears with a probability dependant on the square of the amplitude of the wave because, as quantum gravity [absolute (4)] varies inversely as the separation, relativity requires the inverse square law and there is obviously relativity between the wave and particle.

‘Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle…. This restriction on precise knowledge does not apply to all pairs of quantum properties. It applies only to some, which are said to be “conjugate variables”. Position and momentum are conjugate variables, and so are energy and time (although the uncertainty relationship between them is subtly different from that between position and momentum) … I have never found an intuitive explanation of what makes two variables conjugate’. (p 150) The universe is created from an orthogonality [independent, but entangled at the origin] of energy [momentum] and organisation [position] and trying to measure an orthogonality [measuring each exactly is the same as between the two] is logically impossible because it is a restriction on the creation equation. Energy and time, along with organisation, volume and position are dimensions and must be orthogonal so that ratios can uniquely define absolutes for the universe to exist.

Fifthly, the role of Occam’s razor and the principle of least action is crucial to the understanding of the functioning of the universe and the latter asks ‘why does light travel in a straight line?’. Newton’s laws of motion say that a photon must travel in a straight line otherwise the laws do not work and so misses out on vital information and is, again, ‘up in the air’. I believe that the answer is that there has to be a unique answer and the only unique answer in every case is the minimum and the organisation that belongs to the minimum energy is the most efficient organisation. I can say this with conviction because if either energy or organisation were not at a minimum, there would be two solutions at the same time and this would cause chaos in the functioning of the universe. This last sentence questions whether our universe is “real”, although derived from nothing is a bit of a ‘give-a-way’, and suggests that it is an organisational solution based on possibilities created by measurement [such as Pythagoras’s theorem].

Newtonian physics is a creation of the mind and has nothing to do with the physical until general mathematical physics is used and then it can be seen that additional energy is created from measuring organisation [energy plus organisation equals zero, (1) above, whereas Newtonian physics says that ‘energy cannot be created or destroyed’]. Measuring organisation such as beauty, music, religion, buildings and parades etc. creates energy that we release as laughter, in extreme cases [good joke], dance energy [foot-tapping] or just feeling emotional energy of appreciation [Mona Lisa painting possibly due to the golden triangle ratios]. Thus, social engineering is necessarily orthogonal to material engineering and is the key to controlling our civilisation and preventing a break-down.

Conclusion: in a fractal, all levels of complexity are amenable to the same solution and a democracy needs informed and interested decision-makers, so there is no point in offering a solution to saving civilisation until enough people express interest, but the same can not be said on a personal basis, because that is where population decisions are made. Evolution indicates truths, that females should always seek out the best males to have the best chance for their offspring and that indicates that a change of attitude in our society might be necessary.

Newtonian physics provided the basis of (materials) engineering and we have done well from it, but fundamental physics ‘shut-down’ a hundred years ago when Einstein introduced an organisation [curved space, which does not exist] to get the correct experimental answer to the force of gravity equation and this ‘shut-down’ must be affecting modern branches of engineering. The above places physics on the physical, derives the law of gravity and corrects the conservation of energy [which was false] and uses relativity to show that there is a side [literally] to physics that is missing from Newtonian physics and when that side is added, it produces social engineering that allows us to build a civilisation on a stable foundation. In other words social engineering is orthogonal to materials engineering, but entangled and works similarly, for example, we can measure the organisation of the Mona Lisa painting, the golden triangle, monumental architecture, beauty, elegance etc. by the emotional energy that they produce in the viewer. That solves a long-time puzzle for me, ‘how does an art critic judge art?’ and I now know that it is the registering of the level of emotional energy produced in the critic by each piece, and art becomes objective!

Prediction (relative to the conclusion): now that the software has been loaded, let’s take it for a ‘spin’ and examine the ramifications of a daring and successful social engineering experiment that occurred 2,000 years ago and contributed to the population problem that we see today.

The Nazi regime in Germany has a bad reputation for its treatment of ‘undesirables’ in the Second World War, and these ‘undesirables’ can be divided into social ‘misfits’ and the ‘Jewish problem’. Clearly, an orthogonality has been created in the minds of the people through propaganda that these people are ‘different’ and not part of the mainstream population. The first is a problem in micro-social engineering, whilst the second contains a ‘truth’ that a group has deliberately set out to create an orthogonality within the German society based on religion. This resulted in an extreme solution to a stalemate that should and could have been addressed by social engineering. Unifying Germany was presumably the aim and historical solutions have included ‘pogroms’ of various severity, forced conversions, partitioning or migration. Clearly, the political expediency of ‘multiculturalism’ is not stable and orthogonality tells us that in the future the only stable social structure is a number of regions of similar people that inhibit migration between the regions except for trade because the movement of illegal ‘economic’ refugees from poor countries to rich countries is destabilising. The point of this example is not so much to apportion blame but that social engineering may suggest alternate solutions.

Consider the conduct of the Japanese soldiers in China, and elsewhere, during the second World War. ‘Many find it difficult to reconcile the barbarism of Nanking with the exquisite politeness and good manners for which the Japanese are renowned.’ (The Rape of Nanking, Iris Chang, p 54) For example, ‘After almost sixty years of soul-searching, Nagatomi is a changed man. A doctor in Japan, he has built a shrine of remorse in his waiting room …. I beheaded people, starved them to death, burned them, and buried them alive, over two hundred in all.’ (p 59) Reasons are suggested for this enigma (p 54), but religion may be involved because ‘Shinto is polytheistic and revolves around the kami, supernatural entities believed to inhabit the landscape’ (Wikipedia, Shinto) and is an ancient religion, as is Judaism, above, and they may need re-examining in view of the following.

Children in the United States are asking the government to safeguard them at school from ‘school shootings’. One solution bandied about is restrictions on guns, and Australia went down this path, pushed by an overly opportunistic Prime Minister [at the time] and the country is now unduly suppressed and vulnerable to invasion, whereas, a little thought shows that it is co-workers or classmates that actually do the shootings, and it is their exclusion, bullying, ridicule etc. that is causing the problem and the extreme reaction. If everyone adhered to the Golden Rule [Do to others as you would have them do to you] and were nice to each other, problems like this would not occur. In other words, the students and workers have brought these attacks on themselves and the solution is to ‘love your neighbour’. The Golden Rule seems to be a simple solution, and is nothing more than relativity, but everything in the universe is simple and some religions are built on this simple idea. “New Think” allows us to understand how religions operate and religions are effective because they use the creation equation and the (1) absolute [energy (as emotion) must equal organisation when measured] to create a mystique [emotional energy] around the religion by using a bible of stories, hymns, teachings, rituals, vast cathedrals, churches, robes and other organisations that create energy, in the form of emotion, in their followers [when measuring by sight, sound or imagination]. This emotional energy adds organisation in the form of the Church’s teaching to their daily lives and everyone benefits because the universe is a fractal. Religion is widespread and is one of mankind’s greatest achievements in creating an orthogonality to the savagery of the time that transforms the Golden Rule into institutions that have lasted for thousands of years.

Whilst religion is an orthogonality [to governance] and has brought great benefits [it is a social engineering, as is housing, language etc.], it is necessarily top-down and has done little to help other areas, such as the environment, though there is speculation that the Holy Spirit was originally the environment, was ‘lost’ through lack of use, and forms a Trinity with God the creator [energy, atoms] and the Son as love [context, organisation] in the community. Also, to repeat, Shinto is essentially pagan and the Old Testament is essentially a history and modern civilisation needs the protection and application of social engineering and its insight into guiding and stabilising populations through a Golden Rule. Thus, if the Golden Rule is a good guide, we have firstly, a measure of each religion’s humanity and secondly, a conduit into preserving the environment through the Trinity and thirdly, the Golden Rule should underlie all religions including atheists and form the core to unifying religion world wide. I should emphasise that unifying religion has been one of humanity’s unanswered questions, and yet, in “new Think”, it appears trivial.

Overview: Newtonian physics was a guess, and we have done well out of the technology of materials engineering, but that guess conceals two errors, firstly, not physical enough and secondly, not complete enough, and correcting that shows a completely undiscovered half that I call social engineering [orthogonal to material organisation] where organisation can be measured [because of the energy associated with measuring it] and that leads to controlling civilisations and hopefully solving the problems that now threaten the whole planet.
