Reverse Engineering

President Obama is lamenting how he can force AIG to not pay those contractual bonuses to people. The President is also under criticisum for his treasure secretary Timothy Geitner's performance in this whole financial mess we are in and many people of both perties say that Geitner should be replaced. The whole thing with all of these banks is a thing you've heard a lot about lately, Toxic Assets. These come basically in two varieties. There are bad debts. On the old days of double entry bookkeeping, an accounts receivable should show up in the debit collum. The way this would be "settled" would either be to credit accounts receivable and debit cash upon payment, or else to credit accounts receivable and debit "Bed debt expence", which is what makes these assets toxic. Just for those of you who aren't fermiliar, in double entry bookkeeping, every entry has both a credit and a debit entry. The other thing we've heard so much about that is a toxic asset is these "derivitives". These are bets on events in the true Casino sense of the word, that should be illegal but were legalized by the Clinton adminestration in 1998 after previously being banned since the 1907 deboccle. As a subset of derivitives are insurance swaps. These would seem to be attractive investments. After all they are "insurance" against "bad debt expense". But in this case the insurer can't cover the loss. It's a case of betting against the house and the house can't pay. In sunnier times, such "insurance swaps" would be a good deal because you'd almost never be called upon to pay out on the insurance. But these are not good times. Now we are told that the problem is solved. If you saw Sixty Minutes you were told that through the expert helmsmanship of the Federal Reserve we have steered the ship of state through these treacherous icy waters to an eventual safe harbor of renued prosperity. We are told that due to the intervention of the Bush Adminestration last fall that a major melt-down of the economy was averted. Now we are being greeted with daily news of a continual rise in the stock market. We are told that consumer confidence is up along with housing construction and home sales figures. We are told that the Federal Reserve is going to do whatever it can to pump up the money supply. But I just might warn you of what I call "falling into the Arlo Gruthrie fallocy". You may remember this from Alice's Resturant where he said "There wasn't but two things that officer could have done- - -". But later on he says "but there was a third possibility we hadn't counted upon". I'm here to talk about that third possability. You all remember that Homer Simpson cartoon where Homer's car with Homer inside is dangeling off the precipous of a cliff. And Bart is in the back toying with him alternately lifting the car to shove it over the cliff, or else to pull it back from disaster - depending on the things Homer was saying. The question now as many see it is that the Federal Reserve and the whole weight of the Federal Government is working to pull the car back from the precipus of disaster. But there is a third possibility that exists here. What if in pulling the car back from the precipus, the ground under the car gives way from the weight of the car, and the whole cliff collapses, sending the car over? In other words, what if the whole apperatus of the Federal Government itself goes bankrupt and fails because it has assumed so many "toxic assets"? It wouldn't matter how many bad mortgages the Feds buy if the Federal Government itself goes under. This has always been a possibility in the back of my mind, and something that every American should think about.

I guess we all know about Natasha Richardson, or whoever, who fell in the snow skiing on a bunny slope with apparently no harm. She was up and talking and later died of brain damage. It's kind of like that Mark guy friend of Damien in "The Omen" who died of a brain thing. You just never know when death will come. With death the question I guess is, "Who owns your soul"? You'll become the posession of whoever owns your soul when you die. Keep in mind that God will not because of his Holiness take posession of any "toxic assets". God doesn't allow "bad debt expense". God never "eats a loss". Indeed in Classic theology- - God never actually forgives anything- - no, not the slightest thing. This sets up a logical cunundrum of course because it means that unless you die in a perfect state, then someone else owns your Soul. In "Dante" theology that is the Devil. Some teach you can "pay it forward" and carry any debts and assets into the next life. That's always a logical possability. But for those who believe that when you die you leave this time-space continuium alltogether which is is this material universe when you die- - and you go somewhere out beyond time and space as we know it- - one can state with almost metaphysical certitude that there will at that time be a Past as well as a Future. You will at that time become aware of this Past and just who owns your soul. It could be some space alien culture we know nothing of, or haven't yet conceived. Of course enlightened people believe that the secret to life is to live in the present, in the moment. Harry Green spoke of those "who are either captive to the past held either by naustalgia or guilt, or else they are captive to the future beset either by idle hope, or anxiety". People want to know what "The Answer" is. But in reality what we need in our lives is a case of Reverse Engineering. You see, we already know what "The Answer" is. We are living "The Answer". This is what our lives consist of. What we are looking for are the questions. We know the mathematical answer to the formula, what we lack is knowledge of how we got here or the Formula itself. Engrams are really "toxic assets". They are things we "Own". God won't "Own" us if we "Own" toxic assets. Our goal should be to purge our life of these. We too wrap things up in little bundles not product testing our merchandise and we exchange them with others, swapping our toxic assets. These are known as engrams in scientology. It's best to live your life free of worry. Being free of worry doesn't guarentee anything about the future because few if any of us can predict what might be looming on the horizon tomorrow. I only ask you to bear in mind "There is always that third possability you hadn't counted upon". But on the other hand if you do have any anxieties, you should root out their sources and purge your soul of them, because somewhere you are in posession of toxic assets, that will be a drag on your karma untill the day that you divest yourself of them. Capish?

And now it's time to dip into Max Brady's vault and see what is in there. A few months ago I fished out a formula from Max's vault and used it in an Excel program. I hope Melanie is taking notes because this is informative. I want to throw some math at you and have you guess what formula I'm using. In example one consider the following sequence of problems. One half plus one half equals four fifths. OK? This next example really had me flumixed. Two thirds plus two thirds equals 12/13ths. How do you get thirteenths out of thirds??? Finally we have 3/4ths plus 3/4ths equals one/25th. I'll tell you right now these are additive vollicities in einstein's theory of relativity. I have the formula in Excell, but I'm also not looking in the formula square in Excell because I want to give my brain a work-out. I've been a little flabby lately and I don't like showing my age. I'm losing skin tone. I have to keep my brain in shape and so should you. Do you see a pattern in these problems? OK here is the answer. Normally if you were using "ordenary" logerithmic math you sould suppose that 1/2 plus 1/2 would be 3/4 and 2/3 plus 2/3 would be 8/9ths. Etcetra. But that's not the formula. Here's the guimick. You times the numerators, and what you do is add that number to the denominator. For instance, one times one is one and you add it to 1/4 and get 1/5th. Let me just say at this time there are what you call complementary numbers like 4/5ths and 1/5th. for example. OK? Now with the 2/3 one you times the twos and get four and add the 4 to the 9th.s and get 13ths. You see? And on the 3/4ths one you times the threes and get nine and add it to the normal 1/16th deniminator and it becomes one/25th. And that's the relativity formula in a nut shell. Now share with all your friends. For 4/5 plus 4/5ths you would take the fours making sixteen and add it to the 25th. and get 40/41sts. Or your rocket launched from another rocket each travelint 4/5ths the speed of light would in reality be traveling 40/41sts the speed of light. Yipee!

Here are other formulas I have deconstructed. The DMS one I needed help with. This stands for degrees, minutes, seconds. This button on calculator whacks down numbers to the right of the decimal to 3/5ths their previous value. There is also a reverse function to get them to go the other way. Then there is the N! function. This one is pretty easy. It just times everything by declining numbers. This function is good for computing the odds of any scrambled alphebetical inscription of 26!. It's also good in calculating the "pizza slice" formula known as the Choose formula in Google opperative words. Choose involving the number two is also the same as the triangulation formula. the Choose formula is derivitive in that you can figure out what the 3 and 4 and 5 ect. collums are from looking at the 2 collum and deriving the addition pattern, and so forth. Then there is the LSH key, or is it the ISH key? Here's the pattern for this one - one becomes two - - 2 becomes 8. 3 becomes 24. 4 becomes 64 and five becomes 160. Is that clear to you? It took me maybe a half hour to figure out what was happening here. You take two to a power and then times two times that very same number. That's the LSH key. Finally I believe there should be a DIM key on calculators. Consider the following progression one is zero. two is one, three is six, four is eighteen and five is forty. A one dimensional entity has no plane surfaces. I speak here as plane sides to a ninety degree cube on all corners. Two has one, three had six, four had eighteen and five has forty. Now here is the answer. I'm not sure how long it took me to figure out this one. You know the triangulation formula (the Campbell soup cans one) this goes 1, 3, 6, 10, 15 etcetra. Now for the sides of a cube in any given dimension take this number and times it by one less than where you are at. So you do one times zero, three times one, three times two, and six times three, and four times ten. Don't you feel smarter now?
