Western Democracy Is Under Threat And Needs Social Engineering To Manage Its Governance To Avert A Crisis

by Darryl Penney

Abstract: a successful society needs a governance that can generate positive feedback, and that requires knowledge of organisation, relativity and the physical. Our current management system is based on selfishness and that attracts wannabe leaders that influence policy, start wars and override the public interest etc. but with social engineering that uses formal organisation and constant management we can manage these extreme actions. Taking the so-called Second Coming as a goal, strengthening the software of the mind with this theory of organisation, accepting the fractal and physical nature of our universe and adjusting the so-called social advances of voting over the last 200 years the context of modern life can be improved through improving the population, reducing governing by petty laws, the public servants that police them, reduce taxes etc. An example of the manipulation of society by public servants is given by the insertion of gambling into normal social life through the Registered Clubs Act 1976.

Disclaimer: the subject matter of this paper is new but must be classed as an opinion-piece and cannot be classified as scientific [not being based on past peer acceptance] and is theoretical [not based on the scientific method [that is measurement]] and it’s use may conflict with peer acceptance. Secondly, the paper is, in truth, scientific because (1) it is based on absolutes [as it must for comparisons to be made], and (2) on the simplest absolutes [unlike Newtonian physics that is based on the more complicated force equals mass times acceleration]. Thirdly, mistakes [contextual] may occur because I am a generalist, whereas a specialist is a specialist [conceptual] in a subject and would not be expected to make mistakes. This state of affairs is relativity and cannot be eliminated.

Preface

This paper ultimately suggests a change in the voting system using a new understanding of the fractal nature of the physical, using bottom-up organisation and the future goals embedded in relativity to enable us to produce a workable society based on the vision of the Second Coming [whatever that may be]. This new theory uses the powers of algebra with the physical to define formal organisation that is relative to the energy that is currently used in physics to understand the mind [that is built on the creation equation [1]] to find the answers that have been hitherto inaccessible to us to make an ideal society. There is a positive feed-back available in governance that has produced great civilisations in the past but these civilisations inevitably die-out over time due to, I believe, organisational ignorance and this theory, that includes organisation explicitly has, I believe, the potential to change the stumbling, bumbling Homo sapiens into a superior Homo completus that can manage itself and produce a long-term stable civilisation.

Previously

The importance of absolutes through which we can describe our universe can be gauged by considering that our universe can be described by only three absolutes: the speed of light [distance divided by time], quantum gravity [is (energy plus organisation) divided by distance] and quantum time [is (energy plus organisation) divided by time [2, 3, 4]]. These absolutes [one constant and two hyperbolae] generate our view of a relative universe and form the software to any observation and should be the basis of any science because the physical cannot be neglected. Lack of organisation is the hallmark of Homo sapiens that must be left behind by increasing our intellect [1] to reach future goals [5]. We can’t change the physical but we can change our social interactions by understanding organisation, which we don’t understand unless we embrace this theory. For example, Europe has always been troubled by witches and the reasons could be that firstly, that women are orthogonal to men and this is physically and psychologically important and secondly, older women are particularly prone to dementia.

The previous paper [6] described the social context of individuals through line dancing classes [as part of the individual-governance feedback] and the conclusion was that some of the ‘old guard’ dancers and the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club [that seems to have enticed several clubs to become resident] is akin to the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Bible and, I believe, need changing. Hence its inclusion to show how firstly, a selectively [through a good climate] degraded population [retired, sick, unemployable] is possibly being used by an entity that provides gambling that is secondly, one of the few available [convenient pick-up bus service] social hang-outs that possibly is, unfortunately I believe, an entrapment for society in general and, in particular, thirdly, a class of people that receive government pensions. The Batemans Bay Soldiers Club is not [in my opinion] a suitable social club because it fourthly, aggressively promotes gambling addiction [through a possibly excessive 75% on-view rating [6]] and fifthly, the philosophical absolute [generally agreed] that those in receipt of a [part or whole] pension should not be allowed to gamble in these clubs [by being in receipt of taxpayers’ money].

Sixth, concept and context are orthogonal and produce a relativity that can be used to build our universe [energy plus organisation is nothing] that is fractal [similarity in being derived from a simple equation] and can thus be easily understood and additionally, as a simplicity that an organisation contains only one orthogonality [by definition]. These two logics comprise a [necessary] relativity [absolute] describing a fractal that is simple and similar. Examples are that concept and context define literature and counter-examples are firstly, the mixing of gambling and socialising at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club and secondly, in governance. If an organisation contains more that one orthogonality [at a given level] this will create chaos [in management]. Thus, like universes that must use minimum energy and organisation [principle of least action] to avoid becoming chaotic [lose repeatability] so the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club and our voting system have become, I believe, chaotic and in need of social engineering with an overall aim of attaining a workable do-it-yourself Second Coming that applies to every level.

Quantum Mechanics

The counterexamples show that people are not very intelligent and intelligence needs a workable software that includes both energy and organisation [creation equation]. Unfortunately, physics [and thus social science] lack organisation and can’t progress beyond the simple alchemical Newtonian physics [7]. The problem appears to be the belief that quantum mechanics is a property of the very small because ‘the Born rule formulated by physicist Max Born in 1926 states that the probability of finding a quantum system in a particular state upon measurement is proportional to the square of the amplitude of its wave function.’ (Internet) This is where probability emerges in the orthogonality of wave and particle that physics finds so problematical and yet it is a simple solution of where a wave will coalesce to a particle and is a logical solution to that position [and there has to be a solution]. Quantum mechanics is, in my opinion, the choice between two orthogonal things [relativity] and that tells us that the social and gambling [that are orthogonal] can’t mix and if they are forced to mix [by being available as in the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club] Born’s rule comes into effect and there is a probability of one becoming the other [entrapment] at the same time [that destroys the orthogonality [an absolute]].

The degree of entrapment is augmented by having drinks brought [by staff] to the machines, meal vouchers, bright lights and other psychological attractions designed to make losing money more attractive and especially as the clientele [old, sick, disadvantaged etc. in a retirement town] may then be enticed by these social aspects and then be lured to the poker machines. The countervailing force to these proffered attractions is realising the plan behind any possible inducement [taking their money] that is gained firstly, by an increase in intelligence brought about by using this theory [1] and the social science theory of addiction where social inclusion and goals are paramount in preventing addictions [11]. The recommendations are in the next paper.

The Light

Surprisingly, the gloom and doom that stretches from Shirley [and her possible familiar Sam], the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club, Councils, State and Federal governments to the countries themselves needs only a small [organisational] twitch to correct and that is a return to survival of the fittest. Unfortunately, this twitch might be difficult to implement given the [possible] definition that Homo sapiens is incapable of understanding organisation [12] and overt resistance from established parties, the transition to a higher level [Homo completus] could be [and needs to be] accomplished by using the software of this theory [1]. Given the reluctance of Homo sapiens to make changes [and I can use physics as an example [7]] it will require a ‘bottleneck’ to refine the species and this theory presents the answer, I believe, that is needed [4]. That answer is to invite change because things can’t get much worse as the world seems set on course for another Word War and in my case it was the incentive to move out of frequenting Batemans Bay [with its emphasis on a sick ageing population] for the much more vital Ulladulla.

An overview of the relativity of scientific thought on the value of Homo sapiens might be useful because ‘some maintain that humans are infinitely more intelligent than our ape cousins; others that the human brain is just a scaled-up primate brain – so cleverer, but not by much.’ (How The Mind Changed, Joseph Jebelli, p 108) The truth behind this quotation is measurable through the increase in intellect that is possible through understanding this theory [1, 2, 3, 4] and it can be seen that Homo sapiens is degrading as we move away from survival of the fittest and its prior genetic selection. Our cultural evolution has also degraded because we have blindly stumbled about in social organisation for want of the social engineering based on organisational absolutes.

The Batemans Bay Soldiers Club could be called a den of iniquity and ubiquity because dancers are surrounded by the addictions of alcohol, gambling and poor choices of food that is, like the supermarkets, offering convenience at a price and that price is, I believe, excessive because community well-being is touted as being part of the community service that is the offset to the legal right to be allowed gambling. In reality these community services [such as door-to-door bus services, dance floors etc.] are also boosting their profit and income at the same time as enticing patrons to spend and become addicted. From its official figures a company-secretary commented ‘It is an amazing balance sheet though. Masses of cash. Great property investments. No debt. This is a very powerful and successful business. Likely the most powerful and successful in Batemans Bay’. The problem is that it should not be a business and much worse is to come in the next paper. The relativity of this empire-building is that these line dancing clubs have subsidised rent [of premises] but the dancers have to put up with the odd habitues of the club and the arrival of Shirley’s group that do not [presumably] like a male presence. This wokeness is a version of multiculturalism that politicians are forcing on the country instead of boosting its potential through focusing on the social engineering a policy of one nation, one culture, one goal, one religion etc.

A Conspiracy?

The main problem lies in the orthogonality in the business plan of these Clubs because prior to 1976 entertainment occurred in pubs, Church halls, barbeques, beaches etc. and gambling was restricted. Since then, with electronics ‘The Australian government has passed the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA), which regulates online gambling and sports betting’ (Internet) that has moved into the home and the Registered Clubs Act has brought gambling into entertainment. In particular, the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club where, I believe that gambling has become intrusive, entrapping and unwanted. This is a social switching from a free-enterprise society to a regulated attack on the behaviour and morals of society along the lines of the public servants’ controlling desires, as discussed in [6].

The Batemans Bay Soldiers Club was presumably started in recognition of the the mateship and valiant service of the voluntary soldiary engaged in World War II and that was not [possibly] reprehensible but the Board now appears to comprise peace-time service-people that could be classed as public servants and one wonders if they are capable of guiding the gargantuan Clubs effectively. Firstly, are public servants and employees capable or running any business effectively? Secondly, this paper is questioning the social effect of allowing public servants to dictate the mores of our social scene, for example, my encounter with the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club Board left me shocked at their unbusiness-like wokeness [6]. According to the creation equation [energy plus organisation is nothing] organisation does not exist in a formal sense outside of this theory but what is being used in lieu? The Batemans Bay Soldiers Club gave me the ‘bums rush’ and one has to ask ‘Why?’ and does the business plan or operation of the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club contain behaviour and methods that need hiding from researchers? I would say most definitely that it does, after all, the enterprise of creating efficiency is legitimate and sought after, but do we all want efficiency and growth in gambling and should it be widely available? Is the government so desperate for money or control to make addicts of us?

Politicians are increasingly suppressing us with laws, increasing their total control [Australia is the world leader in public servants per population with the US at half that level (Facebook)], increasingly taxing us with high prices on cigarettes [$50 a packet versus $7 to $20 for illegal imports,[6]] and alcohol [supposedly for our own benefit] and then allow gambling to take place in view of patrons in a social club. If the effects of cigarettes and alcohol are felt personally, gambling is a governance issue that can cause great hardship to individuals, families and employees as well as tempting professionals such lawyers, accountants, agents etc. to steal from client’s accounts to feed gambling habits. We have the relativity of choice but why are we being preyed upon and influenced to take up an addictive practice in a social setting. This seems to be entrapment and a form of advertising [of gambling]. Smoking and alcohol advertising has been banned and gambling advertising is under pressure to be restricted and yet gambling is ‘on show’ in a social setting.

Consider the ‘post-twentieth-century globalization that has concentrated unprecedented power in the hands of private interests. Of the one hundred largest economies in the world, only forty-nine are countries; fifty-one are private corporations. By 2016, the richest 1 per cent of people in the world will control more than half of the planet’s total wealth. The influence of these private interests dwarfs that of the public institutions that might seek to regulate them.’ (p 112) As an example of something that endangers our lives the ‘provision of low-dose antibiotics to their livestock for “growth promotion” accounts for 80 percent of all antibiotic consumption in the United States. . . . . Antibiotics, had they been well stewarded, experts say, could have effectively treated infections for hundreds of years. . . . . We now face what some experts call an era of “untreatable infections”.(p 113) Multinational corporations are all around us competing with our culture and using advertising and convenience [usually without regard to our health] and public servants are leading us [for their power-seeking] because we have no [organisational] absolutes on which to make decisions. The best that we can do is be reluctant to change, which is a poor substitute to forward planning [5] that contains the knowledge of social engineering absolutes [8, 9, 10].

The above problems are organisational and the solutions are organisational but Homo sapiens, while recognising them as problems, tries to fix them by making more and more laws with more and more public servants to police those laws. Clearly, as the world becomes more complicated this approach stops working effectively or efficiently and becomes an annoyance and government taxes increase to fund non-productive public servants [as above]. Organisational problems require organisational solutions and a new way of thinking that comes about by understanding this theory [1, 7, 12,13].

Public Servants

Some public servants, I believe, are not very successful but do their job whilst being resigned to a comfortable selfish non-productive life with a permanent job and a generous pension that dies with them and cannot be passed to their children. They are ‘gentlemen’ in their view [6] but in reality do not generally contribute to our welfare but tend to collect fees and fines. Politicians are a special breed of public servant that often firstly, suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect [‘a cognitive bias that describes the systematic tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability’ (Wikipedia)] and secondly, loves attention and lime-light. An important specific area of social engineering is the core process of governance and is the subject of this theory of organisation that politicians are ‘flying blind’ no matter how confident they are of a good outcome [because they lack this theory]. Examples are firstly, the disaster perpetrated in changing the voting system 200 years ago and more recently secondly, the intrusion of poker machines into pubs and clubs. Some long time ago I remember being amazed at the huge clubs in New South Wales in small towns [presumably using poker machines].

Is it any wonder that Australia has ‘the highest rate of gambling activity among its adult population, with 73% of adult having gambled in the past 12 months‘ (Internet) when poker machines are so prominent in so many venues. A truly democratic vote on these machines is likely to see their numbers reduced [by public acclamation] but our voting system is not democratic, not sensible and not fair. It is a staged managed system that is corrupted organisationally by vested interests of big business, unions, public servants etc. and the proof is that controlling, selecting or restricting the numbers of our population is a ‘no-no’. This inability to see the ‘big picture’ and it’s effects over time and distance has led to the problems that democracy encountered in ancient Greece [distance, 10% vote and the time effect [6]] where gradual changes have now moved the tolerance of people towards the ‘nanny’ effect by public servants increasing their policing and intrusions. The result is a degraded population of consumers, welfare recipients and marketeers.

Gambling

Why does Australia have the highest rate of gambling activity? Clearly, many people are making money out of poker machines, for example the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club, State governments and the poker machine makers etc. There is nothing philosophically wrong with gambling unless someone is making a ‘house percentage’ though it seems to be a generally stupid and dangerous occupation from a practical standpoint. Even the Church doesn’t raise concerns, presumably because no one was crass enough to suggest taxation until governments licensed casinos that are described as ‘a public room or building where gambling games are played’. The definition of a ‘social club serves as that vibrant hub, fostering community and camaraderie among its members. Whether it’s centred around hobbies, professions, or shared interests, these clubs provide an opportunity for networking and friendship in a relaxed atmosphere‘ (Internet).

These two venues [social club and casino] are distinct [orthogonal] in their functions, firstly for friendship and secondly to gamble, so why do we see them mixed together in the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club? This combination suggests the entrapment of turning friends into gamblers by blatantly promoting gambling [75% exposure for the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club [6]] to the old, somewhat demented, sick, lonely etc. people that congregate in mild climate seaside retirement towns. I believe this to be ‘beyond the pale’ which is listed [as alternatives] as: unacceptable, unseemly, improper, indiscreet, unsuitable etc. Take your pick as it is a bad ‘cognitive advancement of our species . . . . In fact, cultural evolution may be more important than biological evolution.’ (How The Mind Changed, Joseph Jebelli, p 27) Thus, this paper will hopefully kick-start the cultural evolution of patrons by replacing the [possible] practices [above] with improved mental stimulation, healthier food and more exercise. The aim is to increase working-life by 50% with a corresponding increase in health, longevity and intellect through anti-ageing [25 years according to medical tests for myself].

Greed is Good

Some public servants may be concerned with the bean-counting of saving lives in bushfires, evacuations, seat belts, police radar speed traps etc. and the only way to stabilise a science, an experiment or society is through defining absolutes, which in this case is useful lives not every life. Useful lives are those saved by themselves [survival of the fittest] and saving your life, property etc. is proof of your fitness and not the undirected saving of all lives. Building a social universe using this absolute of a goal [of a better future] is the capitalistic way where success is rewarded by money and property. Greed is good for the individual which is good for the state [Adam Smith] provided that the positive feedback of minimalist governance is recognised and acted upon but the prevalence of multinational corporations, the movement of production to low-wage countries and importation of such products together with dual citizenship, the taxation benefits of international accounting, tax havens etc. make a mockery of proper governance.

Spain is a classic case of asset stripping gold etc. from South America, Britain’s Empire was a little more fair and today, as so-called leader of the Free World, the United States promotes technology and exports manufacturing jobs to support an increasingly powerful China. We may be heading for another World War because of exports, licensing, increasing military spending and the availability of unaligned counties with assets that can be used. The only way of achieving peace is confrontation and being big, and as World War II showed, treaties are a trap and countries should form species-like separate marketing areas and a governance that entwines those countries so that encroachment by gobbling up the unaligned is not possible. For example the Ukraine. Competition within marketing-areas is useful and necessary but economic competition between marketing-areas is divisive and unnecessary if they remain disjoint. For example, Britain lost its American territories by excessive taxation [Boston tea-party], Spain plundered South America’s minerals etc.

The Witchcraft Parable

Organisation was conjured up through algebra and must be the entangled context of concepts [for relativity] that can be envisaged as parables. Women and workers [that are not owners of the means of production] are orthogonal to owners and, I believe, the source of many of the governance problems over the last 200 years [6] because they have different aims and entitlements to owners. Organisation is orthogonal to the energy upon which Newtonian physics is built and as the creation equation that defines our universe according to this theory is energy plus organisation is nothing, formal organisation is not recognised by society so how can society be managed?

‘In mid-January 1692, two young girls living with Salem’s Puritan minister Samuel Parris began to suffer fits . . . In late February1692, Tatabe was accused of witchcraft by Abigail and Betty. . . . pre-trial questioning was partly run by by amateur interrogators . . . Nineteen were executed, while Giles Corey refused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty . . . . and was pressed to death by having rocks loaded onto his body. . . . By mid-1693 an astonishing two hundred people were awaiting trial. The majority of Massachusetts’ citizens had begun to realise something was terribly wrong and to protest: whatever demonology said, there could not be so many witches.’ (Witchcraft, Marion Gibson, p 106 – p 125) Opinion [in this case on witches] was not informed as it should be in a social science based on absolutes of organisation and witchcraft doesn’t exist except as a misanthrope of civilised behaviour. Women need help in a domestic situation because they have a role in forming the next generation but it is a perversion to seek help from public servants that tend to abuse their roles to augment their own power inappropriately [consider the wokeness of the board of the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club]. Do people today realise that the governance system has been taken over by public servants, that manage by a multitude of laws, policing, social payments and pensions and are destroying the productive enterprise of the past without considering organisation? I downgraded a business recently [of 40 years] because red-tape caused too much trouble and I asked myself ‘Why should I work harder than I need just to employ people?’, to create business efficiency and jobs that is called ‘increasing productivity’ and supposed ly benefits consumers.

A similar situation applies today that people are starting to wonder ‘What is going wrong?’ with a society with low productivity, high social security payments and a continual increase in debt from governments that borrow continually on the national debt. Witchcraft is alive and well today as shown by Shirley, Sam and the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club [6] through a lack of social fitness and pandering to women’s unique dependence that skews the voting system. Our current [representational] democracy has many faults [in practice] and yet, with organisation, it could provide a system that does away with public servants and the majority of laws. Formal organisation is now available to produce social engineering and this paper is exploring ways to understand and wright this situation using the creation equation and bottom-up organisation.

Democracy

Just how good is the concept of democracy that has survived as a goal for thousands of years? Is it a desirable way to decide between two [orthogonal] decisions? Hardly! At its worst it leaves 51% of the population as winners and 49% as losers which is asking for trouble. The ‘fifth-century [B.C.] was quite different from the society that Plato imagined in The Republic. It was a democracy of sorts, though only about 10 per cent of the population could vote. Women and slaves, for example, were automatically excluded. But citizens were equal before the law, and there was an elaborate lottery system to make sure that everyone had a fair chance of influencing political decisions.’ (A Little History Of Philosophy, Nigel Warburton, p 6) Clearly this input was more appealing than being told what to do by a King, Dictator, Leader etc. but it was very different to what we call a democracy today and we need to examine the concept and context in modern times through relativity and bottom-up organisation. Firstly, the voter must be knowledgeable on the subject of the vote, have a considered opinion and record their opinion, secondly, they must communicate that vote quickly over time and distance for it to be relevant, thirdly voters must be able to change their vote [during the whole period] to reflect the majority position, the incumbent’s competence or new arguments and fourthly, the voter must be recognised as competent and worthy of consideration.

Consider a modern-day democratic vote where firstly, the voter is fined for not voting irrespective of their knowledge or interest secondly, they need to go to a polling booth thirdly, they cannot change their vote at a future date and fourthly, everyone has to vote [over 18 years old] irrespective of age, mental health, male or female, worker or owner of production etc. Fifthly, elections usually occur every 3 or 4 years and the elected leader has [almost] complete control for that time and currently, street-marches are being held monthly to complain about the numbers of immigrants brought into the country contributing to housing shortages, multicultural problems etc. It might be more apt to call our current system an autocracy with lifetime benefits being plum overseas diplomatic and other jobs for politicians upon leaving the political stage.

To my mind some public servants are maximising their benefits [for themselves] in being in [almost] complete control, especially of their own remuneration, luxurious travel, meals, accommodation, family travel and pensions and have locked voters out of meaningful change. Change will be difficult because it needs a disproportionate vote to change the Constitution even if the public servants agreed to a referendum but it is not my intention to try to force change only to show what could be gained if enough people supported it. Noah and Lot were not successful in gaining much support but their resilience at survival indicates that a few people might be worthy of the effort and this groundwork needs considered context [organisation].

Disparity

I have heard that Anthony Albanese only received 34% of the vote and yet preferences led to a landslide victory and one has to firstly, question the process generated by the election when currently there appears to be monthly marches in the streets and secondly, while middle Australia marches in protest extreme right and left groups cause trouble for the police. At the moment we have a combative election process based on wins and losses brought about by the voting system and this has been recognised in the election of the Pope, as God’s representative through ‘the two-thirds supermajority required to elect the new pope’ (Wikipedia, 2025 conclave) or changing the Constitution and warrants more care than the normal 50% winner takes all, especially considering the political party’s propensity to change leaders whenever they choose without consulting the voters. Clearly, a better system is needed, which is the aim.

These problems occur when Homo sapiens tries to build a civilisation based on firstly, the concept of energy without formal organisation, secondly, top-down thinking and guesses not bottom-up organisation from absolutes and thirdly, inappropriate selfishness. The public servants will not change the voting system that puts them in control that allows them to act as Kings, Queens etc. They have won and have become ‘gentlemen’ that don’t work and are in complete control with a law for everything so that they don’t have to make decisions [and have control without responsibility]. They ignore voters who are reduced to street-marches to display their displeasure about the intake of migrants because, I believe, that immigration has been used to stimulate the economy [Liberal party] instead of social engineering and misused by the Labor Party that [to some extent] do not know how an economy works [knowing principally only how to offer their bodies for work].

We can take back the country and please everyone [including the splinter groups of extreme left and right] if we use social engineering [based on organisation] which makes social science a real science based on absolutes both organisational and physical. Consider, ‘imagine a world where the rulers are not driven by personal gain or power but by wisdom and a deep understanding of what is good for society. This is the ideal that the ancient Greek philosopher Plato envisioned when he proposed the concept of the Philosopher King in his seminal work, “The Republic”.’ (polsci.institute) This statement describes firstly, social engineering [‘wisdom and a deep understanding’] as a proper workable science and secondly, a democracy [‘not driven by personal gain or power’ but driven by earned ‘personal gain or power’] and thirdly, a ‘Philosopher King’ with a choice of adviser’s advice.

Firstly, social engineering contains relativity, the physical, organisation and bottom-up thinking and is, I believe complete with no enigmas whereas our current organisation is of our own making and needs improving. Secondly, with modern electronics and instantaneous communication we are able to manage situations quickly and we, as a group, are the arbiters of our own goals. While we have our own goals, the species [itself] needs a separate goal [positive feedback of individual and governance]. Thirdly, no Philosopher King can speak for all of us [or each of us] because that is the role of a democracy that values our worth to the species and it is for us to set the species’ goals.

The animals [of a species] don’t have a leader but a pack or group generally does, so why not firstly, have a Philosopher King that suggests the species’ goals and behaviour, secondly, this person should be a generalist advised by a number of specialists that likewise advise the voters and thirdly, would act, as leaders do, to create time epochs, someone to blame if things go wrong and generally be an ethical spokesperson. The election of this person and the requirement of such a person could require ‘the two-thirds supermajority required to elect the new pope’ and a register of a number of people could be candidates that each voter could support [with their phone vote] but a vote that could be changed at any time depending on their decision. If the Philosopher King is to be a ‘whipping-boy’, the specialists are the engine-room of the information that is required for a voter to 1. vote as they wish at any time 2. be kept informed or 3. vote the party line over their phone at any time. This information source should be any number of respected generalists [social influencers] indicating their extent of alignment with the aims of ‘think tanks’ [as suggested goals] that profess policies that benefit the voter and not some group hiding in the background.

Species Defined

Homo sapiens has always had a desire for a meeting of minds as a democracy, but has never been able to accomplish it due to time and distance and has had to rely on electing a leader resulting in a representational democracy. These problems of governance have created the problems of our modern world and we need a better understanding of organisation [12] if we are to manage the behaviour of public servants as our agents. We have to appreciate that humanity must be both selfish and unselfish at the same time [as we should expect in an orthogonal fractal such as quantum mechanics] because the basis of our very existence is a combination of a lack of selfishness that produced offspring and selfishness for the individual through survival of the fittest.

Clearly, the formation of species is universal and can be considered to be an absolute [of organisation]. ‘A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity.’ (Wikipedia, Species) Consequently, a species requires selfishness for the individual to stay alive [finding food] but submission to a group to breed and this relativity is at the core of quantum mechanics [and the fractal nature of our universe] that suggests using species-like groups in governance as an absolute that we can build upon. In other words, an absolute that is context needs a concept to describe it succinctly and that requires a proverb and in general requires an organisational absolute that is the behaviour of animals over the long-term. Notice that ‘a proverb or an adage is a simple, traditional saying that expresses a perceived truth based on common sense or experience. Proverbs are often metaphorical and are an example of formulaic language.’ (Wikipedia) Thus a proverb is a description of an organisational happening.

The Mechanics of Entitlement

A member of a species or group has the right to firstly, wear the ‘colours’ of the clan, gang etc., secondly, partake of available food in being allowed to forage [survival of the fittest] and thirdly, reproduce [survival of the most fit] among themselves, if possible. Notice that the concept of handsomeness is arbitrary [Socratic] and the condition of the pelt or feathers indicates health of the animal as a norm for inclusion. ‘A mate-recognition species is a group of sexually reproducing organisms that recognise one another as potential mates.’ (Wikipedia, Species) So, entitlement is an orthogonality in being independent [to feed] and entangled [to breed, roost and associate] and an example is to be found in one of the most domesticated animals, the common egg-laying fowl because as a crow-type bird [that had been raiding the feed-tray] hid with the hens, it was jumped upon, held down and pecked. Thus entitlement [to be in a species] is a ‘two-edged sword’ and there must be a mutually acceptable swapping between the two extremes. Humanity is under the same threat of overpopulation, lack of resources, multiculturalism etc. that affect species and we must solve it as the animals do because their organisation has worked over a great time.

Prediction

Politics is generally considered to be a dirty-word [in concept] relative to the context of the thousands of years of philosophy that lie behind the organisation of the understanding of ‘political moralism . . . such as justice, equality, liberty, happiness, fraternity, or national self-determination’ (The Politics Book, Editor Rod Dacombe, p 13), ‘politics is about power’ (p 13), ‘ensuring that government officials are as able as possible’ (p 14), ‘ideological thinking emphasizes the way in which ideas are peculiar to different historical periods’ (p 14), ‘the period following World War II saw the rise of new nation-states’ (p 15) and ‘the health of democracy . . . is under threat from the global spread of misinformation and the rise of authoritarian and populist politicians’ (p 15).

All of these concepts seem to make a context [at least a book] spread over thousands of years but Homo sapiens only thinks of them as separate concepts seen through the top-down thinking [that has arisen through evolution]. A series of concepts, similar to the measurements of physics, create a pseudo-science [philosophy] that is as argumentative as the ancient Greek’s ‘armchair’ thinking for the same reason. Physics calls itself a ‘science but it is a ‘science-of-sorts’ that has no theory because Newtonian physics is incomplete and alchemical and not derived from the bottom-up [7]. Using this theory [of formal organisation, relativity and bottom-up derivation based on organisational absolutes] these concepts become an interconnected contextual science that we can use with social engineering to quantify social science in the same [orthogonal] way that a physics based on energy became materials engineering and technology. The simple example of the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club can now be extended into state and federal politics using the physical fractal of the universe generated by the creation equation with the goal of [as yet] an ill-defined do-it-yourself Second Coming that entangles everything.

As an example, the mathematics of concept-context [as above] is how, I believe, that the mind works [4, 13] and is the use of the creation equation [energy plus organisation is nothing] that says that a decision can be made by considering the affordances [the value of the emotional energy generated by considering the relativity of two concepts] that are the context. One example [that is acceptable to physics] is ‘Richard Feynman’s path integral formulation in quantum mechanics emphasizes that all possible paths a particle can take between two points must be considered to calculate the quantum mechanical amplitude’ (Internet). Similarly, every context must be examined [theoretically] to reach a determination for comparison [versus summation] but the brain is divided into lobes for speed, convenience and efficiency. The theoretical basis to quantum computing could entail the comparison of every possibility in the search for an answer [which is mooted to be its mode of action] and only the answer appears [in line with restrictions such as uses minimum energy [repeatability, principle of least action] etc.] and other answers lead to chaotic nothingness [multi-universe theory].
