I finished a short version of a book I've wanted to finish for over 20 years - the Zen of Tigger. Reading the tao of pooh I always felt it didn't quite fit taoism very well. The better lessons came from Tigger and Eeyore and they were clearly ZEN lessons.
At first I thought I would right a regular book but then switched to the SHOBOGENZO koan format where I would present the dialog from the House at Pooh Corner and then write my commentary against it. 27 chapters of this and it was enough to piece together a book. Good for parents and children and zenn-ists alike, I hope everyone enjoys it.

So they have billions to spend. Will they waste it like they did on OpenAI which just developed bad search engines and video games. Ok to be kind GPT-3 is a moderately OK but not great search engine but hugely wasteful, not green due to thousands of hours of electricity to train it on big parallel computers and in the end smaller more intelligent engines like Noonean's EnterpriseNLP outperform it.
They also wasted billions developing "responsible AI" with ZERO concept of developing cognitive systems and language. Gee real smart. I guess as long as Ilya Sutskever and the Hinton-ists from Google Brain (another failed research group accomplishing almost NOTHING) are calling the shots and getting huge 2M a year salaries, they will bullshit their way to years of money accomplishing little.
Yes, they had groundbreaking Image Recognition. No that does not apply to developing cognitive systems.
These systems always develop trainable finite state analysis systems because that is the limit of tensor models. Same with deep mind playing GO. Games are finite state -> response modeling. Easy. Cognition and language - hard. You cannot develop cognitive systems (at least not good ones) using 2D tensor multi-planar architectures. Yet all the libraries for GPUs force you into a tensor mindset. Chopping your legs off from the start. Where is JAVAs GPU library to develop real architectures? Not yet sadly.
Noonean has been working on Neural Cubes (technically octagons) which are fully dynamic running at 100Hz or 100 updates a second. That is fast enough to respond to the world in real time. The numbers of neurons to build a small system to do this is roughly 8 billion. Each requiring 500 operations per cycle. So roughly 4 TFLOPs just to get started of FP16 (FP32 generally is not needed). The differences? It is self organizing self connection and self structurally building whereas TENSOR models are like flat rooms all constructed ONCE and never changing. It is the difference between a Boeing 777 and a pile of dirt.
What about IBM Watson efforts? Again it suffers from poor architecture making limited use of neural networks and more use of their knowledge expression language. Again forcing it into rigid systems. Still powerful things can be done with the IBM approach and it is superior to the wasted billions being done at Google Brain and OpenAI.
Facebook recently announced an initiative to do multiple integrations into a system for cybernetics (robots). they don't have any new technologies but it is a strong move forward. Someone tell Facebook that Noonean could help them a lot! Maybe they will develop clunky death robots like Boston Dynamics (now google) Atlas? Yes Atlas can do a backflip. Sometimes. More often it steps into a hole in the ground and falls on its face.
These systems are heavy and not nimble. They do balance, but they don't have balance. their fundamental design is flawed. Can you get stepper motors and servos to slightly replicate human notion? Barely. Reminds me of the horrific ECCO bot which used servos turning strings as "more human muscle" ya right. Bullshit on that.
It should be like the manhattan project, but without a cognition system, not simply a barrier recognition system like in self driving cars, these platforms will always seem... well.. dumb. That's not the goal. The goal is to have a assistant that humans would accept into their work and homes and smart enough to get by, handle black swan events with aplomb and if there is another fukushima or space emergency we can send in a troop of them to save the day. That's the vision Noonean has had since 2018 and has been working towards.
Will Tesla's efforts result in another cybertruck window crashing. Oh well at least they can make rockets.
Anthropic a spinoff from OpenAI just received 124 million in funding from super angels like Erich Schmidt. The founder - Dario Amodei - has a background in physics and biophysics. Somehow he got to research director of OpenAI. The problem is, if OpenAI produced only CRAP with terrible 1980s architecture ala Hinton, then isn't that referent on Amodei's ability?
Nope! Throw them more cash. More money. Cause they had the titles at google or google spinoffs. Certainly if we do the dumb thing we did with openAI all over again with the same people we will get better results.
So the question goes to you Dario, will you continue being stupid and develop sophmoric tensor archictures from the 80s and then complain that doing responsible AI is impossible with these Architecture?
Noonean has been doing more advance neural architecture without planar tensor approachs and using language modeling combined with neural networks for years now. Where's our $125M ?
Can you find the two super genius and the one dolt in this photo?
Answer: Steinmetz, Tesla behind him, and the dolt is of course Einstein who never accomplished anything. Taken from a day Einstein visited the halls of genius at the Marconi Wireless company. Of course the irony is Marconi stole the concept of radio from Tesla, and Tesla was finally recognized as winning his patent dispute with marconi as the TRUE INVENTOR OF RADIO many years after his death. Thanks USA!
Is it just me or were computers a whole lot sexier in the 70s ? Above a simple black and white computer terminal, but they would never think of making a boring IBM square box. (a dec VT105 if ya didnt know)
We used to type on these giant typewrites to talk to computers. Decwriter 100. It wasn't efficient and wasted a hellalotta paper. Yet no one seemed to much worry about the waste at the time. It was the 70! There was no recycling. Pollute. Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster was just out showing us the error of our ways.
But even more gorgeous was to be had if you could afford to spend for a HP.
Computers were somehow thought to be descendents of calculators, typewriters, and cash registers. So all of them had to have printers of some kind to print receipts. weird huh? Boy was I jealous when my friend / fiend was first to get the hp41 printer!
or you could diddle on your sinclair QL
The Sony HB-101 with Phillips Discoverer Space Helmet TV definately aimed to be in space!
And my favorite, this half tuba/conch speaker half martian computer from Holland
So the image above is the INCORRECT piscis vessica. People assumed that the templar scrolls the second body represented the MOON. Because well ... what else is in the sky?
But here is a better representation. The Piscis vessica was something SEEN 12,000 years ago at the time of the great cataclysm which brought great the great flood and destroyed nearly all mankind and all his buildings. Only the sphinx and the great pyramids survived it. Of couse the pyramids were built to survive it being survival chambers. How did they know? Simple, it wasn't the first time.
How did they know? By measuring the acceleration of the prehension cycle of the zodiac against the ecliptic plane. It accelerates just before the Piscis appears. How did they measure this? Simple, the Obelisk were the MOST PRECISE way, along with a sighting stone. By measuring days before winter solstice before the sun disappears, during the exact summer solstice the rate of the prehension cycle, they would know the rate.
Why does the rate ONLY INCREASE drastically at this time. Because our binary companion brown dwarf star which emits no light is nearly invisible to todays astronomours. It literally swoops in from a vast elliptical orbit and literally DRAGS THE WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM TURNING IT. to us it seems like the prehesion zodiacs speed up.
What is the piscis vessica then? It is the interference pattern when two suns get near. It may even produce a kind of massive solar ejection at its center if not of solar material then of cosmic rays forming a giant beam like that of a pulsar. It is likely that it is this beam that blasts the earth and decimates it. A coronal ejection tends to dissipate over the expanse of 93 million miles to earth. But not a raw beam of x-ray and cosmic rays.
This is the secret teaching of heliopolis which the knights templar found. It's the reason for the construction of the pyramids and the huge granite vault boxes. They knew it was coming and needed massive amounts of stone and rock to block them from the rays so the ruling class and engineers could survive to rebuild. It is the reason for the christian emphasis on the zodiac, taken from the egyptian zodiac. the Sidreal zodiac used to predict the disaster.
The earths 26,000 year precession cycle is tough to measure. Its the long earth axis wobble. Every 13,000 years or so Earth faces looking the other way at the universe as we go along this circular wobble course. Does this cycle tie into the disaster cycles? It's a bit off. So it isn't the precession cycle itself that is the measure of our binary start swooping in. it's the RATE of the precession cycle which speeds up when disaster is upon us as our binary literally PULLS us around the universe to face a slightly different way. One wonders how amazingly advanced the Egyptians were to know to measure and look for such minute movements in the stars, or perhaps this was knowledge passed onto them from even smarter beings from before the last disaster.
But each time we lost nearly everything. It was then the sea kings - the fisher kings - who traveled the earth re-teaching the new primitive humans who could barely speak and did not know the basics of how to farm or build. This was the purpose of the pyramids.
And this is the reason why the templar scrolls are so mis-interpreted. People assume the other body is the moon. No, it is SOL - Shamazz - Niflheim. Nasa's recent attempt to find a brown dwarf star failed. It had a range of 10 light years. Hmmmm.
One other component is we can look at the reversal of the magnetic poles, which seem to follow a 14k year cycle. Could that in itself cause the disasters. There is a near minimum where we might be more susceptible to solar flares during the reverse. Another Hmmm.
While we might not know exactly WHY our plant self destructs every 14,000 years the interference pattern piscis vessica is an interesting thing never seen in our modern age.

Let's dissect what this is saying. The bible with a sprig is the food. Because the bird brought a sprig back to Noah signifying that the flood was over. The bee hive is a sign of the coming flood. Bees get disruptive. Similar to todays bee die off. First the bees die, then we do. and the huge burst of rays in the middle. That's not the sun. that's shamash. piscis vessica. the portal. Sometimes its pictured as a staircase as if you could enter it like a black hole and be transported.
What is the masons obsession with the t-square and compass? Used to measure so they can know the disaster is coming. simple.
Here's another one. We see the first sign of our binary star like a comet shooting through the sky.
Here the symbols are clear. at the bottom the serpent and casket = DEATH. The star will first appear in the area of the pleides. and whirlwinds will result. The "G" symbol is piscis vessica shorthand. The G is a symbol of the G point, the portal of the divine.
Cancer, the top of the arch has the summer solstice. So when that aligns with the Pleides that is the beginning of the divine cycle of 26,000 years after which the earth is destroyed by cateclysm. 11k bc was 13k years ago and 39k bc was 26k years before that. So we might think that we still have 10k years before the next wiping away of humanity occurs.
Now before I discuss the mayan calendar let's discuss those solid granite boxes found all over Egypt. Located deep underground they are cosmic radiation blockers. People could get inside them with food and spend 2 or 3 weeks while the worst of things passed. If you didn't get flooded. The egyptians (no not the 5k year ago egyptians, the 30k year ago egyptians) realized that to bypass this flooding they needed to build raised cosmic radiation deflectors for the highest learned people and king and queen. This is the reason for the kings passage in the great pyramid, it was needed to form a large pully to raise the six HUGE granite blocks ABOVE the kings chamber to block radiation. The great pyramid is a massive "wait out the cateclysm" chamber. Not a burial place.
Pleiades: The Tzolk'in is the sacred calendar of the Maya and is based on the cycles of the Pleiades. The cycle of the Pleiades uses 26,000 years, that the Sun orbiting Alcyone, the central star of the Pleiades, but is reflected in the calendar we are using by encompassing 260 days. Their calendar year began when the Maya priests first remarked the asterism rising heliacally in the east, immediately before the sun's dawn light obliterated the view of the stars. In the beginning, the Maya understood that they came from the Pleiades, or “Tzab-ek", (Rattlesnake's tail), as they are known by the Maya. The relationship with the Pleiades and the Mayan world is written in the sacred books of the Maya. It is in the consciousness of the grandmothers and grandfathers who had it passed on to them. It is an important record.
The elders say the universe comes from the Pleiades. With the Hubble Telescope, it was discovered about ten years ago, that there is a place where stars are born in a great spiral that originates at the site of the Pleiades, outside of the spiral is complete empty space. In coordination with the galactic precession, the Mayas also look at the precession of time through the Pleiades. Alcyone, the central star of the Pleiades, is located at 30 degrees from Taurus, near the constellation Orion. Alcyone, in Taurus, represents the Earth Goddess. The lessons from Alcyone are those dealing with compassion, higher wisdom and vision, and Earth consciousness. Much has been channeled from the Pleiades.
Alcyone figures prominently in Mayan astronomy. The Mayas believe it is the home of their ancestors. The Pleiades star system is referred to as the seven sisters and our sun aligns with Alcyone every 52 years. In Mayan cosmology the precession of the Pleiades is tracked using the Calendar Round (52 years) and the New Fire ceremony. In the Early Preclassic Site of Ujuxte, in the Pacific Lowlands, the central plaza appears to have a celestial alignment that coincides with the rise and fall of the Pleiades, This is also right for the Stelas and Altars from Monte Alto. The present-day Maya in Guatemala, make use of the Pleiades to begin their planting for the year.
However, a number of researchers believe that the length of the 260 day component of the Calendar Round cycle is defined by a 260 day period from one zenith transit of the sun until the next. In the zone between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn there are days on which the sun passes directly overhead at local noon. Vertical objects at that time cast no shadow. On the Tropic of Cancer there is a single such day, June 22, the summer solstice. On the Tropic of Capricorn the day is December 22, the winter solstice. On the equator the zenith transits of the sun divide the year into two equal halves. Between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer, the zenith transits of the sun divide the year into a longer portion with the sun transiting to the south of the zenith, and a shorter portion with the sun transiting to the north of the zenith. The zenith transit days are always equidistant from the summer solstice. .A 260-day zenith transit interval occurs at a latitude of 14°47’21”. The transit dates are April 30 and August 13. That August 13 is one of the classic Maya creation days lends credibility to this interpretation.
Orion: The Maya called Orion Ak' Ek' or "Turtle Star", Orion is depicted in the Madrid Codex as a turtle with three tun ("stone") glyphs on its back. Because the sky has not yet been raised, before the creation, the hearth is a location in both earth and sky. The turtle shell is an earth symbol, like the back of the crocodile at the foot of the World Tree. Here is the place of Creation, where the sky will rise and saw the nearby ecliptic constellation of Gemini as the motherMadrid Codice p 71, Turtle of creation peccary and the belt stars are her children. In addition, the Maya used three stars in the constellation Orion: The great blue giant, Rigel, Kappa Orionis, the star Saiph and the belt star, Alnitak.
These three stars form an equilateral triangle called, Oxib X'kub' or “The Three Stones of the Hearth”. They represent the Maya hearth, made of three stones placed in a triangular pattern. The hearth was and is the very foundation of the Maya home. Directly in the center of the Three Stones of the Hearth, you will find the Orion nebula, M42. It acts as the flame called, “K’ak”. Toward dawn on the Creation night of Aug 13, the constellation OrionClassic Jade plate showing the Maize god, reborn from the Turtle of Creation, Petén. moves toward the zenith. The K'iche' people still refer to a triad of three bright stars in Orion as "the hearth stones", and the hazy nebula below Orion's belt is called "the smoke from the hearth".
The Popol Vuh, proven to be the true Maya creation myth, since the Preclassic, (San Bartolo Murals), and Classic, (Quiriguá's Stela C), that was preserved by the Postclassic K'iche' Maya, in the Guatemala Highlands. In this book, Orion was seen as the First Father, who was known as Hun Hunahpú, The Maize god, the father of the Hero Twins, Hunahpú and Xbalanqué, that were fundamental in their Mythology.
We see the same in christianity as coloumb - the dove.
There is much symbology of staircase and arrivals of people at this time. It may be that our companion star has a planet with people. And as they approach close to earth they know we are inhabited. So for a period of about three days they can visit and return as things are close. But of course, only BEFORE the full devestation hits. Would they come to warn us? Would they seem like angels?
Saint peters is all the knowledge built into architecture. The piscis vessica. The solstice points. The ecliptic. The tall obelisk for measuring. It's all there if you know how to read it.
Here we see the akkadian/sumerian ENKI a giant teaching us under the light of the Shamash/Piscis Vessica. Perhaps he only had one day to tell us everything he could? And what would the point be as the earth was about to get devestated? Hmm. Still the memory of the event was recorded by survivors. Not everyone would die of flood or cosmic rays, some hearty people would make it, maybe 1 in a million. It also explains why the shamash symbology is in so many of the early sumerian tablets. It would have been a profound event to those of the time.
And as the knowledge transferred to America, the washinton monument is actually a monument to the every 12,000 year destruction of the world. But you can't see it unless you look from above. Ah restricted airspace, no one is allowed to see.
Now it's interesting if we think of the monument as a 3d graph. and the flags and the monument itself are a Z vector representing level of energy. terminating in the "god point" a fracture in time and space? We have a few hundred years before we will know.
The piscis vessica is the shape that the interference pattern of - say 2 stars - make as they radiate close to each other. People seeing in the sky saw this as an "eye of god" or "eye of horus" as the egyptians pictographed it. I think this makes a stronger case for the binary companion theory vs. simple solar ejection. There may indeed be solar ejection, but if so then caused by the binary companion. So this is why this theory is so neat, it really does bring together so many drawings, hidden teachings together with physics and analysis of our known disaster about 12,000 years ago.
