Mega Foundation (correct me if I am wrong) was started by Chris Langan. To
read some of his stuff go to crank.net:
http://www.crank.net/proof.html
and follow the "Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe" link.


I'd like to take some credit here. I asked James more than four years ago
to contact Chris Langan. See 1063143790.v3.net

It's interesting that two so-called "cranks" seem to be able to understand
one another: Chris finding James's paper worthy of publication, and James
finding Chris's forum worthy of his material. Typically if you try to put
two cranks together, each will insist that he not be lumped in with such a
nut.

Maybe it takes the "Smartest Man in America" (as Esquire magazine anointed
Chris) to understand James's work. Maybe James has found parallels to his
own work in Chris's Theoretic Model. I anticipate a fruitful, fascinating
collaboration.

While stumbling around the Mega site I managed to log on to something that
let me read the conferences. So far, only James has contributed to the
"Object mathematics" thread. Looking back through previous Math threads we
find that one Russel Rierson is a frequent contributor. Here is one of his
contributions:

====================================
Topic: 0 = infinity = 1 (1 of 5), Read 60 times
Conf: Math
From: Russell Rierson
Date: Sunday, November 24, 2002 02:20 AM

If new types of mathematical notation are discovered, then trying to grapple
with the equation of "1 = 0 = infinity" will become more managable and
plausable.

T@[F@(DX)] = @F[@T(DX)]

The operation_F(DX--0)

= operation_T(DX--infinity)

= operation_@(DX--1)

A circle is a closed loop whereby we always return TO the starting point and
we have zero displacement. One trip around the loop and we have "unity" = 1.
An infinite number of trips still = zero displacement.

So with the correct mathematical compositions ... 0 = infinity = 1.

Russ
====================================

So yes. Fruitful, fascinating and, erm, plausable.

Very true.

The part that get's me to belly laugh is where Al seems to imply that
newsgroups (and, possibly him) are a "land of giants".

Al is a total clown. It is interesting that he so strongly attacks
the other clowns.

He is the god of buffoon, troll posters...and he is a jealous god!

After stumbling around their site that has no obvious search
capabilities, I find it amazing that anyone would pay them 25 cents to
be involved, much less the $25 they're asking. Aparently you have to
pay if you want to have a chance to see that there is no content. I
don't think I've ever seen a site that relies so heavily on the ego of
readers to get someone in. Bizarre.

Are you going to be nice enough to tell us *where* in that mess you
plan
to post your work or are you gone forever? I'm interested in
following your adventures.


See the Table of Contents in the URL mentioned in William Rex
Marshall's post earlier in this thread.

If you really want to read James' work I think you would need to pay
$25 and subscribe. I can't imagine that many people on sci.math will
do that.


I find their public paper

http://www.ultrahiq.org/Mega/WhyMega.htm

to be an interesting commentary on what they can do for mathematics
publishing. It's also interesting that looking at the site in Mozilla
apparently doesn't work as they intended, considering the line I see
about a redirect when not logged in.

Nice HTML header too:

top one percent = one in a thousand ?

Maybe they should add "bag of hammers" to their keywords.

Hehe. I can see how "hammer" would be insufficiently exclusive, but
unfortunately "bag of hammers" makes me think of "bag of spanners", as
in "face like a ...". Was this the comic effect you were after?
Perhaps "fistful of hammers" would be better, bringing to mind the
$$$s that JSH has always felt should be rightfully his.

Anyway, IIRC JSH wields a Hammer, not just any old hammer.

Very curious. There are plenty of people around here who spend
a lot of time making fun of JSH. And there are various people
who often state that such behavior is inappropriate, or various
other uncomplimentary adjectives. You're the only person I
recall who enjoys doing both.
