Kafka and data handling processes. (Grey persons in grey offices)

The offices are always grey. Everybody who is working there is grey, and their mission is to control the data. 

When we are staring at the film "Kafkaesque" above this text, we might realize that data handling is similar to bureaucracy. God is the thing that controls the data process and creates the protocol for handling data. For the system, the superuser who has the right for exterminating the system is the god. If we are thinking of the computer as the Kafkas's bureau. 

We are facing the problem of row-type computing. If the event handler is the man who is walking in the rows the event handler must always deliver its data. Without depending does the data contain enough information or not. When the event handler is taken the data, there is no way to stop the operation until the process ends. 

Order is the key element in computing. If there is chaos in the system, there is no way to make anything. The answer to the chaos problem is simple. Somewhere in the system sits the master controller. The superuser is using the "master's voice". And voices that "everybody halt" and orders the data handlers to read their data at the same time. Or the order can be given in the form, that the data handlers are reading the things that the data handling form requires. 

That means everybody should check do they have all the necessary papers with them. And if every single paper contains a serial number helps it to give new papers if some of those files are missing. And if somebody delivers the data from that bureau, the controller knows what paper is delivered to the street. And because all data handlers are handling the individual data type that helps to track the person who delivered unauthorized data. 

If the system uses two lines there is easy to see the differences in data. In the two-line data handling process every data handler has a pair. And if data that those handlers are carrying contains differences there is an error. The two-line data handling works that when the router brings data in the system, it also doubles the data. 

That makes it possible to see if there are some errors by benefiting from the differences in the data structures. In that system, everything is doubled including the rowing rooms. In that room, the data is delivered to the desk, and then the superuser compiles the papers or data tables and finds out are they identical. If they are identical there are no errors in the data lines. The data is traveling in rows and each paper is combined in the same entirety, which is like film. 

If the data travel in a row, where are many curves the other data handlers can check is the data that the data handler carries right and does it have the right form. But that requests that every data handler has the same data, and in that case, the system can check the traveling data. The check can be made that every single data handler is yelling at the same time. What kind of data should be in their papers. 

Or the persons can send the number of the papers that are delivered back to begin. And that thing is called checksum. The checksum tells is there some papers dropped to the floor. And if every paper is numbered the people can know immediately what paper is missing. So if something is missing the data handler can ask for the missing paper from the colleague who stands at the door. And that means that there is no need for remaking the entire paper stack. Only the missing papers are needed to make. 

If all data handlers are talking at different times, the result is chaos, where nobody can check the data. The man who is keeping himself hunger is the data handler, which is not used. The useless data is removed and the mark of that data turns weaker and weaker all the time when data stands useless. The data security might seem very well done if there are many doors between observer and data. But if the doors are not locked they are useless. 

We can think that the data that is traveling in the system is like black and white bugs. The system is like the giant labyrinth that must know which way it should route those data bites. At every corner in that labyrinth is the router. Or the person who knows where to guide each bite of data. When data is traveling in a mixed form that thing seems like a mess or chaos. But when the routers are sorting that thing turns data into an understandable form. 

Was the shooter of Strasbourg in psychosis?

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

There are some questions about the shooter of Strasbourg, and the main question is, was the weapon, what this person used legal or illegal? If the weapon is illegal, that would tell something about the relationships of this person's private life. If the weapon was legal, the question is, "how the radicalized person could carry the legal weapon?". When we are looking at the news of this sad case, we must notice, that we must stay in facts, what are published. There was no information about the weapon, what he used in shootings, but during the final moments, before police shot him, there might be a pistol.

Here I'm talking about firearms and that person might have more than one weapon. But when we are looking about this case, there were mentions, that he had a criminal background for robbery, and sometimes that kind of persons get "new road" to their life in prison, where they begin to think, that being the radical "soldier" has more style than being ordinary criminal. The Islamists have their own style to make propaganda, and they might claim every shooter operate as the "soldier of isis". Many people think, that those pieces of information are so-called fake news, where the Islamists want to tell the world, that they have a powerful and loyal network, what allows them to strike anywhere in the world.

 When we are looking at the first name of the shooter, that is "Cherif", we can think, that maybe this person had a mental disorder, and he started to believe, that he has the call from heaven to work as "sheriff" in his community. Sometimes those persons, who get in the psychosis believe, that they have missions from "higher level", and they are patrolling in the area of the community. When the person is in psychosis, that means that the ability to understand reality is lost. And they can believe that they have got orders from some "holy men".

Sometimes the person, who is in psychotic condition believes that he or she has opposite gender, and in some cases, the parents have made the gender assignment to those persons when they are children. If the person is in psychotic condition, might that person believe almost everything, and those stories, what they tell in Mental hospitals are very weird. Sometimes in the home of those persons have been happened cases, what incite those patients to strength their believing, and if the atmosphere in the home is very radical, the ordinary criminal might start to think, that he or she operates for something higher purposes. And in this kind of situation every robbery and stealing, what this kind of psychotic person does happen for some "organization". This makes some of the psychotic persons  very dangerous.  Of course, this doesn't make the shootings any easier to stand, and we must show, that we do not tolerate violence.

Could aliens have completely different kind of mathematics what we have?

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/


Kimmo Huosionmaa

I lent the heading for this text for one article, what I have just read. And I'd like to say something about our mathematical system, what bases the thing, that we have ten fingers. That's why our numerical system consists nine numbers, and of course, number zero, what means "empty".  That's why we are calling out the numerical system as the "decimal system", and actually this term is caused, that when our calculator comes to the end of the continuum, we mark this point with numbers one and zero, what are consisting number ten.

That means the "full". The first number and mark for empty means, that the calculator must begin to calculate or fill the second line of numbers. And when the second line of numbers is full, the first number turns two and the last is again empty. This means of course that the second line of numbers is filled. We can continue like this forever because there is no end for lines of numbers.

With computers, we are facing the thing, what is called the "binary system". In that system is two numbers one is full, and zero is open (or empty). This is very remarkable because this binary system is making microprocessor functional. And the thing, what makes very difficult to make the so-called quantum computer, is that ever microprocessor in the world can handle only one operand per case, and this is because it is connected to the binary system. And that numerical system makes impossible to make two or more operands per case.

When we are thinking about other numerical systems, we must first understand that normal decimal system and the binary system's number of numbers are the pairs. This means that we could also make numerical systems, where is not paired number of numbers. The simplest of those systems is where the line of the numbers is three numbers long. Here the end of the numerical line is after number three, and that means that the line of the numbers is filled after number three.

This is the question about communication with hypothetical aliens. If we don't know their numerical system, we cannot open their messages. And if the hypothetical aliens would think a little bit like us, but they would have three fingers they would have the numerical system what consists of three numbers, would that mean, that we could not open that message with the computers, what handle the binary system.

Another thing is if the humanoids would not use normal computers, what means that they would use quantum computers, would the message be so heavily coded, that we ever cannot open it. Maybe they would use the trick, what is known as "linear ( or modular) algebra", and that means that the coding machine would calculate many extreme long numerical calculations at the same time.  And even the most modern computers cannot make that thing. In this case, the computers calculate their own parts of the numerical operand, and they would connect together.

Those operands need very hard calculations. The thing is that everything, what is hard for the normal computer is very easy for the quantum computer. If the hypothetical humanoids would use their personal computers like tablets or laptops, they might think that their message would be easy to open, and maybe they have forgotten normal or binary computers a long time ago. They might want to make that hypothetical message easy to open, but in this scenario, they don't understand, that they are making too hard messages that we could open it. So they forget, that everybody is not on their technical level.

The inflatable structures

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

How to find, if some company has something to do with restricted productions? This is the question when we are trying to think about the military equipment and government secrecy. One thing is simple to look about information about that company from Google, and then try to find out the connection of the products of that company to something, what is secret.

One very interesting company is the Bigelow Aerospace corporation, what we can find from Google. This company makes inflatable structures for spacecraft and one of its balloon modules have been in use at the International Space Station what is known as ISS. This thing makes us think, what kind of products this corporation makes. And the thing, what makes me think about the role of this corporation in the space program, and it's connections to other defense industry producers is that one balloon module would not make the company, what is operating with the international space station.

Then we must realize, that the corporation might have the ability to produce gas sections for very high flying airships. Those high flying airships are operating on the edge of space, and they can be manned or unmanned. Those systems can operate passively like ECHO-satellites operated in the early 1960s. But they can operate also with a very highly sophisticated electronic equipment as the civil and military communications and electronic intelligence missions.

But they can also take small space rockets to the outer atmosphere and shoot satellites to the orbiter, by using Pegasus or if those airships are bigger, they can deliver also Minotaur rockets. In fact, if those airships are the size of Hindenburg, they can be used to launch Delta rockets from airborne.

I have written about this thing many times before, but this kind of technology makes possible to create large structures, what can launch to space by using conventional rockets. Those very high flying airships have still one theoretical use. If those airships would be delivered to the orbiter by using rocket, and then it can be blown to the shape.

And that kind of thing makes possible to make extremely large structures like manned space stations to the orbiter and far away from Earth. If those light structures would cover with gold and water layer, what is between two-layer structure, will that make very good protection against radiation, that comes from the Sun. And the outer layer must be covered with carbon fiber plates and the entrance of the station goes thru the airlock, what allows to deny the lack of oxygen.

The problematic relationship between western and Arab nations

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The relationship between western and Arab nations are of course a very interesting thing, what has been in the main role in many books. The bad relationship between western- and Islamic people are from 13th. century, when the pope ordered the Christian people to conquer back the Holy Land and after that, the conflict has been ideological, and this makes it a very complicated thing. The thing, why the western world would not cut the diplomatic relationships and support for Arab nations is, that somebody else would fill that empty thing.

And this "somebody else" is, of course, Russia, but also China is interesting about relationships and weapon selling to those nations, what have very rich oil refineries, and also they have an excellent position in the middle of the air routes in the World, what makes them very attractive place for nuclear weapons, what can used to strike against southern Russia. But the thing, what makes those nations very complicated thing is not actually the location as military bases. This is, of course, more reasons, what makes those nations very influential actors in the global political field.

The great natural resources have taken billions of dollars to the cash of those nations and their leaders. The families, what rules those wealthy states have also very much money, what they can invest in the west. This means that those people should not irritate forever, or they took their billions in some other country. The big money is the reason, why people don't talk about things like bombardments in Yemen, and because the leader of the bombarding countries is Saudi-Arabia, there would not find a western nation, what can be prosecuted by those things, what seems like war crimes.

But again and again, we must understand that even the worst crimes in the war can leave without punishment. The used weapons have been so-called "smart bombs", what are guided by satellite to the target. And the question in the hypothetical court-martial would be that did the pilot know, that the weapon was targeted to the civilian targets.

If the target information sent from some agents on the ground, would the reason for deadly strikes, that they would not know how to use their location devices. In the worst cases, they might have normal GSM-telephones in use, and they might use the telephones GPS, and then send this target data by using text messages, and then the operators would target the bombs by using those messages, the western devices works that they would automatically send that information for bomb operators.

But the thing, what makes this thing quite difficult is that if the GPS is jammed, that makes specifying the location difficult. And in those cases, the GPS-bomb is something else than a precision-guided weapon. The target locators, what is made by using military undercover operations are looking like mobile telephones. The system inside the locator would use the position identifier of the device to get the precise location of the target.

The system uses two pictures, what are taken in the different locations of the target. When the operator targets the system to the target it would take the line to the targeted place, and if the operator works alone must this person move to another point, and take another photo of the target. The system calculates the location of the target by using triangulation lines from those places and the weapon can target to it.

If the team has two devices the targeting happen in seconds by using two persons, that are in different locations. This thing works like old fashion triangular targeter for artillery, but the system is complicated. The locator can use in the normal mobile telephones, and it can have the stealth mode, what makes it thing, what can carry on the streets. The software-based version can use GPS signal also for communication.

But the thing is that they are normal mobile telephones, what can be used in normal communication, and when the secret code would be given, it would work as the military locator. The support team, what aims the bombs would also get images, that the targeting has been happening in the legal targets, but also the text messages can be used to send the target information.

The question is, "is the bomb targeted to its target in purpose or accidentally." And this is the thing, what brings convictions to the operators, and the pilot if this person knows that the target is civilian. But in the civil war, there could be persons with assault rifles and in Arabia, there are many assault rifles even in the neutral hands. And if the targeter would accidentally think that the targeted group is some fighters, they can explain the bombardment by using this argument. Or simply claim, that the person who targeted that weapon have died in combat and nobody can ask questions from the dead person.

The second "sun" has been discovered, but can we find another civilization?

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The second "sun" has been founded, and then we are thinking about the possibility to find the life from planets, what might orbit this star. And here we are facing the thing, what is the problem of life hunting in the world. The thing is, that life doesn't mean the necessarily same thing, as the intelligent life. The intelligent life at the universe is the thing, what is fascinated us during the history.

The reason, why we are thinking about the change to find another civilization from the universe would be that we would not be alone if there would be some other civilization. But this scenario would also be the most terrifying thing, what we can think. One reason for the SETI program is that somewhere in our subconscious want to find out we would like to find out, who was a god, the mysterious and powerful creature in holy books in many religions. This thing is very fascinating and also fearing question, what mankind has ever faced.

Intelligent life is different from the term "life". Even if the founded star would have a solar system, and there would be a planet in similar trajectory with Earth, that doesn't necessarily mean that there would be animals. The vegetables don't need animals for growing and making the seeds. Also, those vegetables can be actually bacteria or cells, what lives in oceans.

But if there would be some kind of intelligent life form, that would not mean, that those hypothetical intelligent humanoids would have a reason or will to answer our messages. The intelligent lifeforms are an interesting and tricky question. If we would find another intelligent species from the universe, there would be the situation, what we have hoped and at the same time, we would face the thing, what is the most feared in the history of mankind.

The thing, what we are hoping is that those humanoids would not be similar to us. If they act like Europeans in America, it would make a very bad thing for mankind. Here we are thinking about the situation, that it would take Earth to control and force us to act like slaves. In some speculations, humanoids would park the giant Dyson's sphere to orbiter of Earth, and threaten us with antimaterial weapons. Those weapons could destroy entire Earth in second. And those giant spheres would be camouflaged as the small planets.

But then somebody has asked, why humanoids would not contact us? There could be two very interesting reasons for that. Maybe they are afraid some other aliens, what is hostile to them. And that's why they are silent because of the aliens afraid that this another alien would shoot them away with their Death Star.  Another reason for being silent is offered that humanoids would like to observe us and how we would increase our civilization.

As you see, this kind of things is only speculations until we find another civilization. And in that case, another civilization can be at the same technical level as we are. Or they can be far more advanced than we can ever imagine. If we would find some UFO:s or alien bodies, and we could isolate the cells from that craft or body, we could imagine, what kind of solar system would their home. But in fact, there are many questions about this thing. one of the major questions is, could this kind of spacecraft only taken to the AREA-51 or some other military base, and then hidden in some secretive room.

 Sometimes I have thought that maybe those rooms are sterilized for covering the existence of human being. This is only speculation. And in fact if military forces have taken UFO in custody, they would not tell that thing to the great public. If we would want to find UFO:s we must notice that most of the Earth is covered by water, and that would be the great idea to look for the hypothetical humanoid spacecraft from the deep oceans. But this things are only thoughts or imaginational speculations, where could be found some extraterrestrial objects if they have existed. And maybe those crashed alien crafts have been taken in hands of the military from the Roswell incident. But there is no proof that the objects what have been taking from Roswell have been extraterrestrial.

Writing about interplanetary flight

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are thinking about nuclear thermal rocket propulsion and Mars-flights, we are facing the solution called "Orion". This nuclear-powered rocket could travel interplanetary routes by using small nuclear bombs for giving thrust to those devices. The idea is that neutron bombs would be fired behind that spacecraft, and that would give it extremely high speed because the radioactive particles would push spacecraft forward.

One of the ideas is to use machine-gun, what is loaded with bullets, what are made by using the highly enriched radioactive material, and they would shoot thru the electric arc, what would cause fission in that ammunition, what would give thrust to that thing. But the problem is to create the electricity for that spacecraft. Spacecraft would always need also electricity for its systems.

That's why the main engine solution for that journey was chosen NERVA (Nuclear Energy Rocket Vehicle Application), what is like a normal rocket, but it is nuclear reactor inside. The NERVA solution deletes the dead weight and the nuclear power would give also thrust for braking. In this situation, the nuclear rocket would turn to give thrust to forward, and this brake the spacecraft.  The most modern version of the spacecraft, what would be used to travel other planets is the hybrid system.

The nuclear reactor, what uses the closed-cycle cooling system would give the needed electricity for the electric systems of the spacecraft. And also at the beginning of the journey can be used the same methodology with "Orion". In the back of the Interplanetary spacecraft would be installed the plate, and the nuclear bomb would send this spacecraft in the very high speed.

And then the system would transfer to use NERVA or WARP-system, what could give extremely high speed for spacecraft. WARP is actually the particle accelerator, what is connected to the spacecraft, and what sucks ions from the space thru it. There is a theory, that this kind of device could someday break the cosmic speed limit. Traveling faster than light is basically a very simple thing. The spacecraft would accelerate to the speed of light and inside it, something would be accelerate to higher speed.

In some theories, this kind of thing would be the magnetic rail, what would accelerate some particles to the 20% of the speed of light, and it would be launched when spacecraft will travel precisely the speed of light. This thing would make by installing the particle accelerator in the spacecraft, what uses WARP, and the accelerator would shoot the atoms forward when the speed of the spacecraft would be high enough. Sometimes has been discussed the opportunity to use electromagnetic radiation for the breaking the light wall. The thing, what makes electromagnetic radiation so fascinating is that there is no thrust and that thing would not need any ions, what would give retard for the spaceship.  This kind of spacecraft is still at the theoretical level, but maybe they are someday in use and travel to other planets.

The thing, what makes this kind of electromagnetic devices more interesting, than NERVA, is that they don't need the different propellant for giving thrust, and this means that the system would be lighter. But as we know the interplanetary travel is extremely difficult. The WARP-craft would give solution for traveling in our own solar system. But that system needs very strong magnets to work properly, and that means that the only thing, what is needed is a nuclear reactor.
