The Harrowing of Hell, Melisende Psalter

It is an undeniable fact that history’s legacy is a mixed blessing. Among the nuggets are slavery, colonial ruin of tribal societies, greed, etc. This is the kaleidoscope with which we must deal.  At the risk of getting the cart before the horse, it may make sense to attempt to control change by first establishing a target for the zone in question.  Getting this right might have saved demolishing a good deal of real estate in Iraq to disable someone who was not involved.  Other examples, easier to understand because all the variables in retrograde are “in house” are the subprime market failure and the 2010 Euro problem.   These examples also have the advantage that none of the factors were classified, always a problem in sifting through the wreckage.  The Triad leans to these principles from an S.N. Eisenstadt collection. To quote:

• Full impact of the drive to dominate major institutional markets, to control their scope and trade, as well as to delineate complex social relationships must be treated.

• Constellations of process of change. SNE uses concept of crystallization of new stages of social differentiation. These require new internal or external resources, social forces, and activities. Concentration, not dispersion, of the new forces is required.  ©1986 State University of New York

By framing the process in these terms, the Eisenstadt collection makes the concept of a template, or succession of templates, readily adaptable to establishing tool selection criteria.  The process automatically requires adjustment in tool selection as the situation inevitably departs from the expected.  Setting benchmarks understood by all involved within this framework should not be difficult. Communication can be automatic.  Documentation should be minimal, because most of it will be proven wrong.  The true measure of process mastery is how little material is needed to communicate process, key resource requirements, and intent.  Output quality measure is result.

Very Large Scale Applications

If the Triad goal of preparing for large platforms is to be taken seriously, some support for its methods is very desirable.  Preliminary indicators of this support are encouraging, as evidenced by this impression included in Triad Phase III working drafts:

• A long sequence involving a being who transitioned in and out of the Cartesian.  On one transition he scooped up a handful of chocolate miniatures.  Some people had almost completed structuring a number of complex logic blocks.  They were now ready to start the command and controls interconnects but were apprehensive about this stage.

The Harrowing of Hell might almost be considered prophetic if pressing the boundaries of IPv7/Web 4.0 can be demonstrated to have been a factor in enabling this Phase V impression.

• An angel appeared and produced a batch of half a dozen babies from a few drops of sperm.  She planned another batch in a couple of days.  “Why are you doing this?”  “I need some people to help me with a project.”  The scene ended.  Three people committed particularly disgusting murders.  When they were apprehended the old man appeared, prepared to deal with them.  At this point the devil also appeared, lost his temper, and told the old man he wanted them.  “OK”  The devil then administered “the quarter.”  He placed a piece of metal the size of a quarter on their skin.  The quarter then ate its way through the body, causing horrible pain.  The treatment lasted until screams turned to moans.  When the moans subsided, the bodies were reconstituted, and the offenders sent back to where they started, with instructions to do penance for the rest of their natural lives under threat of a repeat of the “quarter” punishment.

A frequently registered frustration with attempts to achieve change in macro issues is inertia stemming from almost infinite sources.  Inasmuch as this website attempts to deal with a significant macro, attention has been paid to this problem.  If reaction by a remote organization to using a succession of linked templates as interpreted by this Phase V impression is correct, the approach is gaining acceptance.

• A number of androids in the hospital with scrambled programs – A very extensive sequence of events based on using the Triad concept of linked planning templates – A bicycle turning the corner at the Millard building in Kingston – A Smartphone with multiple tabs – A golf tee – Naval guns in a forward turret firing a night salvo (11-25-09)

The embryonic IPv7/Web 4.0 continues to amaze, although it demonstrates that when a diverse population finds a new way to communicate, they will use it.  This Phase V impression is an excellent example.

• A sulfur ball inside Ω – A wooden pencil with the point worn to a nub – Some people were having a discussion about the energy problem on earth when a little chap peeked from behind a partition and told them what went wrong at Simi Valley and addressed the containment problem.  The group then went to France for technical support.  Voila!  “Who is this little chap?”  A huge roar from behind the group – It is the devil!  “He is one of mine.  I want this planet cleaned up!  It is beautiful.”  (1-2-10)

Phase VI impressions continue to expand potential.

• Web photos I earmarked of a restored red Alfa Romeo, vintage ’60s – A rake clearing fresh moist soil – A planet on the point of symmetry of a hyperbola (3-13-10)

Developing the site and probing boundaries of communications with IPv8 have yielded further indicators that a new avenue of remote comment on current events is happening in real time.  This position is reflected in this Phase VIII impression.

• Milk bottles from the 1930s – A vintage truck, maybe late 20s or early 30s, capable of carrying somewhat less than 1/4 ton,  exited  Rt. 213 in Stone Ridge and turned north on Rt. 209.  (8.26.10)
