Aristotle, Copy of Lysippos

“The study of an ancient writer might appropriately envisage one or more of three objectives, the re-discovery of past accomplishments and thoughts, the assemblage for present use of odd, edifying, or useful items of information or knowledge, or the inquiry into truths whose specifications do not change with time.”  © Random House, The Basic Works of Aristotle, Richard McKeon

This registered but unpublished work contains a number of propositions, each with unproven hypotheses.  Even if valid, each is subject to alternate routes in application.  All are derived using Richard McKeon’s views on history.  There has been anecdotal evidence supporting many of the Triad interpretations, but equally diligent efforts may take others in different directions.  There does not seem to be a good reason to let uncertainty slow progress, so this recap will source current directions to Triad positions developed during the decade 1996 – 2006.  An independent view on this approach is suggested by this impression to be included in Phase IV.

• A story involving a well known United States military commander and some others who had died – I seemed to have been involved with one hand cut off.  The old man appeared and repaired it with some of his powder. The old man then told us that he had formed a club to work for him.  “Why”  “Because you are competent at your crafts and I have a lot to get done.”  “Oh”  “If that is all right with you, feel free to use the golf course.”  The sequence involved the old man’s lineage, but it went so far back no one could remember where it started.

Year end 2009 developments in recovery from the subprime credit crisis, latest Afghan military strategy, and estimates of resources required set against Copenhagen climate change discussions may place a priority on Triad recommendations for using templates linked by IPv7 and Web 4.0.  Moreover, it probably would get the whole business closer to reality to define these situations as wicked problems and approach them in a consistent manner. Support for this position may be found in this Phase V impression.

• An Alpine horn – A row of french cuffs – A briefcase handle – An automobile tire (11-12-09)

Continued probing in information acquisition and analysis using IPv7 and Web 4.0 yields the possibility of taking the envelope of this concept to completely unexplored domains.  Their boundaries are hinted at in this Phase V impression.

• A pair of woman’s Gucci shoes under an umbrella – A triangular snubbing post in the middle of a stream – A short story demonstrating risks of using certain tunnels (12-12-09)

Focused probing of  IPv4/IPv7 potential has not only validated the approach but also has given strong indications that IPv8 with unknown properties supports 2006 Phase II concepts, with applications and errors to be isolated and detailed.  This position is supported by the following Phase VII impressions.

• A WW I Fokker triplane – The iris of an eye – A dragonfly as seen from above  (5.2.10)
• An angel took human form for a while so that she could edit the book derived from the site.  Emphasis seemed to be on IPv8.  (5.9.10)
• An eyeball in isolation – A large chaff release (5.20.10)
• A crowd doing the wave – A looped hawser around multiple pilings (5.21.10)
• An undercurrent of  violence totally inconsistent with geographical importance followed by mummies (5.22.10)

Consistent with the idea of recycling site development using latest findings, the 2004 diary entry can be added to the mix and set against IPv8 probes and reactions for validation.  These phase VII impressions should be a good barometer:

• A train threading its way through the Canadian Rockies  (6.16.10)
• A two lane road with a right turn immediately before crossing a bridge – A speed skater wearing tights – A stop sign  (6.18.10)
• A 1/4 ton pickup truck with worn shock absorbers moving toward the camera  (6.26.10)

Techniques available for recycling to improve clarity and correct errors are substantially improved as IPv8 gains credibility through collaborative use.  This view is reflected in this Phase VIII impression.

• A traveling band came across the equivalent of an Amish village, decided to stay a while, and found that the local population had mastered transforming through time. – Light line wrapped around a stick.  (8.4.10)
• A funnel, through which passed disconnected events from a family lineage -  The author’s salad plate displaying the words “Delizioso, Molto Buono, Mangiare”  (8.28.10)
