Anarchic network coordination without centralised control.



An anarchic network is a network of nodes that are not centrally controlled. Instead, the nodes coordinate their activities through a process of decentralized control. This can be achieved using graph theory and state machines to generate and process events and signals.

Graph theory is a mathematical tool that can be used to model the relationships between nodes in a network. In an anarchic network, the nodes are represented by vertices in a graph, and the relationships between the nodes are represented by edges. The edges can be weighted to represent the strength of the relationship between two nodes.

State machines are a way of modeling the behavior of a system. A state machine has a finite number of states, and it can transition from one state to another in response to events. In an anarchic network, the nodes can be modeled as state machines. The state machines can be used to coordinate the activities of the nodes by generating and processing events and signals.

For example, let's say that we have an anarchic network of nodes that are responsible for monitoring a physical system. The nodes in the network can be modeled as state machines. Each state machine can have a set of events that can trigger it to transition to a different state. For example, one event could be "temperature sensor reading exceeds threshold." When this event occurs, the state machine could transition to a state where it sends an alarm signal to the other nodes in the network.

The state machines in the network can be used to coordinate the activities of the nodes by ensuring that they all respond to events in the same way. This ensures that the network can effectively monitor the physical system and take appropriate action if something goes wrong.

In addition to graph theory and state machines, there are other techniques that can be used to coordinate an anarchic network. These techniques include consensus algorithms, distributed ledgers, and swarm intelligence.

Consensus algorithms are used to ensure that all of the nodes in a network agree on the state of the network. This is important for ensuring that the network can function properly. Distributed ledgers are a way of storing data in a decentralized manner. This can be used to store information about the state of the network, as well as other data that needs to be shared among the nodes. Swarm intelligence is a way of modeling the behavior of a group of agents that are working together to achieve a common goal. This can be used to coordinate the activities of the nodes in an anarchic network.

The techniques described above can be used to coordinate an anarchic network without centralized control. This allows the network to be more flexible and resilient than a network that is centrally controlled.

COVID-19 Solution - Changing the rules of the game of life. Please evaluate and disseminate this information as widely as possible. The COVID-19 virus is, in abstraction, just a finite automata propagating through a substrate and that substrate is humanity, most mitigation efforts center around futile attempts to partition off parts of the substrate, other more effective but risky strategies involve modifying the behavior of the substrate to make it hostile to the virus. Great work guys but you got lost in the details and missed something very obvious. Make humanity just a small part of the substrate and make most of it incapable of replicating the virus. So how can we do that? Genetically engineer a lactobacillus bacteria that is ubiquitous in the environment and on human mucosa so that the bacteria expresses the ACE2 (or any other required viral target!) gene so that the virus attempts to merge with the bacteria as if it was a human cell. The bacteria will however be engin...

The construction of the Tower of Béla - Adventures in Anaglyphs - Part One - By Daniel Scott Matthews

  The construction of the Tower of Béla Figure 1. The Tower of Béla - In homage to Bela Julesz b y Daniel Scott Matthews This article requires the use of Red-Blue(Cyan) 3D, Anaglyph glasses. All artwork produced on an Intel based desktop PC running the LinuxMint (Debian) operating system, including the GIMP , Inkscape , G’MIC and Blender software packages, all of which are free open source software (FOSS).  Figure 2. The minimal image. What is the minimal image? Two pixels with differentially encoded values (two bits) on a field of not image (ten bits) with a minimum of 3 states required (ternary), however if we ignore the not-image we need only two bits in a binary system, but if we wish to encode depth where are we going to store that information in the visual signal? In the anaglyph the depth of an area of the image (smallest recognisable shape) is encoded as a displacement of that shape’s representation in one channel compared to the others. Red is displaced relative ...

Time as Currency.

The potential and perils of a blockchain-based temporal currency system. If in the future the only thing of true value is time itself describe applications of Einstein's theory of relativity, such as time dilation, that may be used as part of a temporal trading strategy. It's important to note that time dilation effects predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity are very small for typical trading applications. However, there are some theoretical possibilities for using these effects in a temporal trading strategy. One potential application of time dilation is in high-frequency trading, where even small disparities in timing can lead to significant advantages in the market. In particular, if a trader were able to move a clock to a location with a stronger gravitational field, time would appear to run slower for that clock relative to clocks in weaker gravitational fields. This effect is known as gravitational time dilation and is a prediction of Einstein's theory of ge...
