Scientific Ramblings of a Madman (1994-2002)

Table of Contents

These Scientic Ramblings were generated between 1994 and 2002. They lay the theoretical foundations for my later work. Although written in a creative frenzy without seeming rhyme or reason, I have organized this collection of Notebooks into 4 collections of articles.

The first, Data Stream Momentum, develops some insights and derives some equations that ultimately provide the basis for Data Stream Dynamics, which is so important for my Theory of Attention. Based upon Newtonian dynamics, this unique system of mathematics generates some models. This article stream illustrates how these mathematical models shed light on abusive relations, the conversion experience, the influence of boredom on civilization, and the effective use of will to change patterns, including diet.

The second, Directionals: Content, Context & Beauty, is a mathematical exploration of the dynamic decay based central measures that were derived in the first book. Some beautiful equations, which ravel and unravel, furl and unfurl, much like a seed, actually turn into a beautiful picture-equation which mimics nature.

The third collection is a mathematical study of iterative equations based in infinite continued fractions. These mimic the quest for mastery or even enlightenment. In the exploration it is discovered the rationals, irrationals, and patterned transcendentals, all belong to the same family of numbers - hence the name: The Internal Structure of Numbers & Root Beings.

The fourth, The Creative Pulse, is an extension of the discoveries of the mathematics of behavior that were laid out in the first book. It develops a new notion - the power of sustained Attenion, which leads to the Creative Pulse. This mathematical model, based upon the inner nature of Newtonian physics – no matter, no space, no time - just data streams - makes distinct predictions about the nature of the Zone, whether athletic, intellectual, artistic, or emotional, positive or negative. Further it predicts sleep, breaks, and vacations.
