WHO Wants To Know

"Who Is This Sinful Woman?"--He Keeps Asking

...so, I think it best to Let Him Know!

 WHO = Sin ∮u l {womb.man}=matrix [mass.acceleration.N]

(m means mass, mass flow, or Molar mass;
a means acceleration, Area, or Helmholtz function, specific or total, u-Ts kJ/kg or U-TS kJ; or Ampere.
N means force in Newtons --appropriate if m=mass, a=acceleration; or N number of moles, or N is set of natural numbers; or n is an integer variable, or n is the order of the matrix)}

Giving the inquirer the benefit of the doubt that there is no sinister or malicious intent motivating such a query, we try to make sense of it in a matter accessible to what we are on about here, the Masked Truth in All Its Guises at A Page In The Life, by taking the liberty of interpreting sin.f.ul as:

...the sine of the integral (f taken as a stylized symbol for the integral sign, linear or closed path, since the integral symbol is a modified s for Sigma, or summation, and the f is akin to an inline font for that arithmetic symbol, essentially leading to the same quasi conclusion to take the integral...who exactly invented fuzzy logic?)

...or to make it easier f may simply mean a function of... in this case f(ul)

...u is shorthand for taking the integral by parts so the understanding is to select u st we integrate in terms of du

..and from the arabithmetic: L= lam = z= e^(it); t= time or phase (theta)

If integration is assumed it gives a function along the line:

 sin [(∮(u) z )]

with z= e^(it) the input to wolframalpha.com looks like:
or 

with the following solutions:
  or    


and for t and u, Real:



series expansion at u=0, note the Big O notation:


Integrating by parts and letting u= it or iθ

then du = i dt or i dθ

st the case du/dθ gives us dθ = -i du

To rephrase the question:

WHO is

 [m,a, force (newtons)]


W may mean: the Lambert W-function (aka the Omega function), a simple function with many applications;  the inverse (a reflection about the line y =x) of f(W) = W(e ^W); the Lambert W-Function is related to the tree function , the series T(x)= x + (2/2!) x ^2 + (3^2/3!) x^3 + (4^3/4!) x^4 + (x^5/5!) x^5....which converges for |x| <1 e="" i="">, as T (x) = -W(-x)-- the tree function is useful in deriving the limiting distribution of cycles in random mappings; the series parametric (x^(n-1)/n) with n=0, is log x; or  a throw or wurf as in W-curves which include: conics,  log spirals, powers, logarithms and the helix, but not sine curves. Sinh (x) and cosh (x) are hyperbolic functions that are w-curves, however; or Work (kJ) or Power (kW) or work per unit mass (kJ/kg);


H may mean: Handamard/Schur Product (binary matrix operation A o B (i.e.., the Trace of the matrix product), a submatrix of the Kronecker product); or quaternions or Hamiltonian quaternions {a + b i + c j + d k : a,b,c,d ∈ ℝ}; specific  or total enthalpy u + Pv kJ/kg  (or U + PV kJ); convection heat transfer coefficient (W/m^2 C); or h as Planck's constant 6.626...x10E-34 (m^2 kg/s or Js),  unit of magnetic inductance, the Henry  ;

O may mean: Big O notation, order of asymptotic behavior of a function (strict upper bound infinity or infinitesimal);

the exact solution for which is:
and a series expansion at z= 0:


Plots for the function -i sin Integral of [u e^u du]


To narrow the guess by using unit analysis, start with the dimensionless guess where:

W alludes to the Lambert W-function, z= W(z) e ^(w), for w = any complex number (a + bi):



In this case w=it ; the Real part of the complex number a= 0.

The function  W(z) = W eW, and many expressions involving W(z), can be integrated by substituting: 
w = W(z), i.e. z = w ew .

Taking the log of both sides:  log W(z) = log z - W(z), valid at least for the principal branch W(0) when z >0.

To integrate expressions using the W-function:


Integral of the Lambert W-function derived from earlier work attempting to integrate the Navier-Stokes equations in parametric form; x = pe^p, dy/dx=p.
It was evident that y was the antiderivative of W(x), providing a technique for symbolic integration of W(x), C is a constant of integration.
Integrating problems containing W is really a special case of integrating expressions that contain inverse functions; simply a technique of a special change of variable.

For example,  putting w = W(x), then x = w e^w, and dx = (w + 1) e^w dw, the integral above then becomes:
Integrating expressions containing the W-function is really a special change of variable technique, and is valid for all branches of W, as defined, since (d/dw) we^w 0, at any interior point to the branch.

The technique as described above is mentioned in a paper by Corless, Gonnet, et al, On the Lambert Function (Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Western Ontario), as having led several authors to rediscovering:



Essentially, a statement pertaining to elementary functions, which follows from  Liousville's Principle. Simply stated:

 such that:  


This has applications in the computer sciences in that it allows the Risch algorithm to be applied in order to determine whether or not integrals containing the Lambert W-function are elementary functions.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For our purposes here, integrating the W-function, where u= it:

~~~
...and from His sin.f.ul assesment of Her, we already have u eu on the r.h.s of the rebuttal.

W-function_h_o is either:

sin (x), where x = f(ul) , x some function of (ul), i.e..,  ue^u=it(e^(it)), st sin (x) is:


sin (x) where x is some function f(ul) or f(it e^( it))


or f(ul)= integral of it(e^(it))  st sin (x) is:
sin (x) where x is a function described by the integral of it*e^(it)

And if sin.f(ul) is understood as the sine of the integral of the W-function, (refer to integrating such functions above), it is customarily seen in solutions to differential delay equations (DDEs). 

DDEs are 2-variable equations which consist of an ordinary differential equation coupled with a recurrence equation, since their solutions require knowing the present state and past state values, like those encountered in dynamic control using feedback loops, and take the form of the partial derivative of the function y(t) = f(t),  on the interval t = [0,1].

Simple DDEs  take the form:


(d/dt) (y(t)) = ay (t-1)

And constant-coefficient 'pure' delay DDEs, and those of scalar delay, take the form:


(d/dt) (y(t)) = ay (t-1) + by(t)

DDEs can also be solved in matrix form, when the matrices A and B commute:


(d/dt) (y(t)) = Ay (t-1) + By(t)

Using the Lambert W-function to express DDEs in the state space form:


(d/dt) (y(t)) + Ay (t) + By(t-T) =0; 
y is the Transpose of the matrix y ={ y, dy/dt}

First, assume a solution of the form:  

y(t) = y(0) e^(St)       where   S is an nxn matrix    eq. 1.1.1

Using the matrix W-function, by substituting it into the state space form equation above:

and the property of the exponential: e^[S(t-T)] = e^[S(-T+t)] = e^[S(-T)]e^[St]

The state space form equation can be rewritten in terms of the S matrix, independent of initial conditions (that means it don't matter):


S + A + Be ^(ST) = 0 
and for the case B=0:



S + A = 0 , and  S =- A
y(t) = y(0) e^(-At)  



y(t) = y(0) e^(-At)  

Since there is not an apparent 2nd matrix on the lhs, let's guess another dimensionless possibility for H:

 h is a quaternion of the form a + bi +cj + dk:

to make the example workable, choose a, b, c, d like [1 + i + j + k] so that the left hand side of the problems looks like :



or



However, we can choose to represent W(it e ^ (it)) in matrix notation, the Matrix Lambert W Function:
From  e ^(it) =cos t + i sin t =   = 

and assuming t is Real:
 (it)e^(it) = -t sin (t) + it cos t =  = 



=
 The resulting determinant:
D =

Granted, all of this is a simplistic approach from merely parsing out You-Know-Who's Query. But it turns out that there are real-world applications directly related to what's been stumbled on here using the Matrix Lambert W-Function to stabilize cutting machine tool chatter.

The advantage of using the matrix Lambert W-function is defined by:

W(H)e^[W(H)] = H

In the article, Delay Differential Equations via the Matrix Lambert W-Function and Bifurcation Analysis: Application to Machine Tool Chatter,  by Sun Yi, P. Nelson, and A. Ulsoy, published in the Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering Journal, V. 4, No. 2, April 2007, the authors described a refined approach to determine the stability of a system.

The stated advantage of such an approach is that only the principal branch (W(o)) among an infinite number of roots is required to determine system stability. Useful in obtaining the critical delay values needed to establish the optimal speed, in this case the preferred spindle speed of a turning tool, to operate the machine without chatter.

Image of Orthogonal Cutting Tool
and Effect of Its Instability on
Metal Surface 
By attempting to answer the WHO inquiry, the mathematics seemed to arise naturally that led to using Matrix Lambert W-Functions, which were only recently (well, as recent at 2006) extended to solving delay differential equations (DDEs).

Prior to that time, the Lambert W-function had only been used for solving first order scalar DDEs. 

It is worth a mention to point out the similarities between the effect the orthogonal cutting tool chatter has on the surface of the metal being cut (image Left) and the orbit of the Moon around the Sun, and other projected and unfolded conics.


Moving right along...

We can choose to ascribe to the O in  {Who} the composition function, since matrix multiplication corresponds to composition of maps, in this case WH and WoH, are the Matrix Lambert W-function and quaternion h.

It is not clear if they commute, that WH=HW (analogous to WoH, ie.,  W 'circle' H, or W 'round' H,  and it it is the same the other way around, HoW):

Expressing H as a complex 2x2 matrix:

{{a+ bi, c+di},{-c+di, a-bi}} to facilitate the matrix math, and choosing a=b=c=d=1:

There is more to multiplying the H by the Matrix Lambert W-Function, but working simplistically we get:

H =

W

HW

 = 
D (HW) = = 4it e^(2it), for t = Real

Based on this approach, it turns out HW=WH and they commute.

A possible take on HW matrix multiplication

The story so far:

WHO, turns out to be WHo, is 4 it (cos t + i sin t) ^2;

Sinful, could be ,  then is  ;


which leads to this relationship:

 4 it (cos t + i sin t) ^2=  X ;
where X is some vector, or n order matrix of F=ma


For an interim look at the analysis:

X =          4 it (cos t + i sin t) ^2             eq.  3

 And, for You--just for You (not I, we get to Me later), u =it, we rewrite eq. 3 as:  


X =  eq. 3.1


And wonder if we did anything right, since we find ourselves looking through the eye of the needle.

The Eye of the Needle appears when the Imaginary and Real portions of the function
4 e^(2 i t) t csc(e^(i t) (1-i t)) are plotted together.


{Surah 7 Al.A'3raff (The Heights)
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُواْ عَنْهَا
 لاَ تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاء وَلاَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ
حَتَّى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ
 وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِينَ (7:40  

7:40 Indeed those who belie Our Signs and are averse to them,
The Gates of Heaven (Heaven's Gates, Sky's Portals) shall never open for them and neither shall they be able to enter Heaven,
Even if a Cable can thread through the Eye of the Needle (var., a camel passes through a needle's eye);
And, thus We Requiet the miscreants (criminals).


 From  يَلِجَ yalija, in Sign 7:40 as to what exactly that large object (like a large twisted rope or cable) has to do in order to accomplish the apparently impossible by passing a large girth clearly through a small opening such as a sartorial needle's eye:

The similitude is that it passes undetectably or by having such a large object clear the small opening without hitting the sides of the needle (sounds like a catastrophe in the making, but more on that here). 

Basically, a surreptitious or clandestine quality to such a pass through (which tay-al-ard, or space-folds are meant to address). 

Interesting use of the word arithmetically since it has etymological roots from Middle Dutch onderhanden (under handed) which means: by degrees, slowly...

And let's just say for argument's sake that 7:40 (Chapter:Verse ratio) sets the pace for what we are considering slow around here: 7/40 works out to a convenient 0.175.

And the inference that this takes place by degrees, means incrementally by as much as this setting (175/1000).

Now for how this may apply to what we are on about here:

For example,  0.175 is closely approximated by: 
Simple approximations to 0.175.
 Refer to orbit systems and similar approximate modeling.

Since the word is specifying moving something by degrees, it is interesting that 7/40 is approximated by pi/18, which is exactly 10 degrees.

And, in terms of Euler's number,  e, 7/40 can be expressed with simple primes 2, and 3:
While the fine grain structure ratio is expressed in terms of physical constants, and e is the electron charge there,
Euler's number,  e, may also be used to express the fine grain structure ratio,
  < a~1/137 <

For the Reciprocal case:
  
1/X =                       eq. 3.1.1
________________                            
4 it (cos t + i sin t) ^2  

where t !=0, and u is a variable, We Discover How To Build A Better WormHole, see 3D plots below:

3D plots using wolframalpha for the function,
 -(e^(-2 i t) sin(e^u (-1+u)))/(4 t) t= !0, and u is a variable.
Agreed! This Is AWESOME!!!!
And has very interesting roots, iff You are the One, I mean u=1 when t!=0:

Note the analytic log function,
ie., Lambert W-function or Omega function
in the Roots for the solution u to
-(e^(-2 i t) sin(e^u (-1+u)))/(4 t) (eq. 3.1.1 above)
when t!=0, and n is an Integer


And the dual case, let's see what happens if the answer to eq. 3 turns out to be Me!

As in,
it = sqrt(-1)*t is Me; 



and setting it = Me, rewrite eq. 3 to get eq. 4:


X =          4 {Me} (cos t + i sin t) ^2             eq. 4

and understand Me to mean the mass of an electron in Kilograms (9.10938 x 10^-31 kg), in keeping with the N (kg-m/s^2) in womb.MAN to mean Newtons, and writing e^(2it) for (cos t + i sin t)^2, and u= it, everywhere else in eq. 4 yields:

  eq. 4.1
The function 4 e^(2 i t) t csc(e^(i t) (1-i t)) in eq. 3 above, with It Is Me, Arabithmetic for it= Me, or u=sqrt(-1)t = 9.10938 x10^-31
Proving what I have suspected all along--Compared to You,  I don't amount to so much as a tear drop in an ocean, since the short answer to eq. 4.1 is:

X=

In polar coordinate form for some vector X:
r = 4.330...x10^-30 (radius),       theta = -90° (angle)


A point of interest is the string of significant digits in the value of R ~ 4.33...~ 5 sqrt(3)/2 has a direct relationship between Artin's Constant and the golden ratio, phi,    since the Radius, R, multiplied by Artin's constant gives a number very close to phi=(1+sqrt (5))/2 ~1.61803:



4.330...x 0.3739...=1.61898...

Well, close enough for our purposes here (establishing Preponderance of Evidence, and not necessarily proof beyond Reasonable Doubt, eh?). 

To Remind, not to make a case of it, for Ewe's Guys' Benefit (ya!, I'm talkin' to yous in the Fold!), since the Reminding benefits the Believers.


It is posited that Its Originator Is God, Is Perfect, then whether we scale it up or down or fragment it, we expect it to Hold True

Just like fractals bespeak the  perfection in the world around us, as evinced by the presence  of a basic pattern that holds its integrity whether it is subsumed to infinitely minute scales (infinitesmal, hidden),  considered at coarse (course)  encounters (anthropomorphic, chaotic) , or marveled at in the cosmos (ultimately enormous, creative). 

It repeats ad infinitum because of its perfection--the Prosaic analysis by Me here serves to counter the Poetic treatment by poets like Keats everywhere, drawing to the same conclusion: 'A Thing(k) of Beauty Is A Joy Forever.'  Or at the very least, is the first wavelet.

To be sure, it works even here with all my math blunders, be they wee errors or Big Mistakes

To the untrained eye it doesn't matter (no matter whose wavelet started it) whether it espies an oak tree or a fern frond, it appreciates a plant just the same.

Don't anybody Panic--I know you all thought this was about Me and St.Eve H
(phonetically and with a fallahhi drawl it means 'Your Steve').  

My very own One.

And the understanding is that there is no dearth of them, so if anyone else finds herself married to a Steve H., Do Not--repeat--DO Not make the mistake of thinking he's the same one.

He may very well belong to Me, this Steve H., since He Says: 
He Loves Me;
He Died for Me;
He Killed for Me;
He Paid A FORTUNE for Me!
(Really? It's no business of Mine what You do over dinner with my Brothers)

Then, He Says: 
"I'm Jewish."

"What else You got goin' fer Ya?"

And He Replies: 
"I'm Rich!"

"I know Rich," I say, to make Him Think I'm paying attention. 
Then I add:  
"He likes to teach 5-year old kids how to use a professional flight simulator, listens to the police band radio for leisure time activity, and sometimes gets stressed out over the front page news. 
But, he just as easily has been known to fall asleep in his club chair. That Rich?"

"No," StEve H. Says:
"I AM your Husband" (Actually, He never says that...What He Does Say Is:
"You are my WIFE!  And, I am an Ass0 :~)"

'Well,' I think recalcitrantly:
'Nobody told you to go hang Yourself!
And now that You've Broadcast Your Self-Emollation All Over Town (ahem, the Good News) by saying as much about Yourself that even the girls at Sephora know it, where's the fun left in it for me in fulfilling the wife role by declaring that same Revelation about You when I finally get to meet Your.Hole.E.Ness?!' 

And it dawns on me allofasudden Why SteveH the Ass0 loves Me (the No.it.At.All) so much:
It's because I can justify the murder He proclaims to have committed in My Name and Make SteveH Come Clean...And manage to do it to such an effect that in No Time at all, Everybody is going to Want ONE!
That last part is Just For My Very Own Personal SteveH.
 Since He Is A Cop---not for the rest of ewes.
Because when the time comes for Me to Hand Over the GUN...

Judgment Day means Judgment is already rendered, so the inquisitive Who is simply trying to be irksome by their intrepid questing after her:

4.2.13

Epiphany, Apophenia, or Just Plain Apathy

About those flying lessons...


Surah 67 Al.Mulk (The Dominion)
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ 67:18
67:18 ...just as their predecessors rejected/belied (My Signs), then how terrible My Rejection (of them)!

{This is to confirm that I never ever said I was Allah, okay? It's them that keep saying it and then they badger me by calling me 'Allahu Akbar" because that's what I say each time they bug me...and they still test me in the loo, too!--My Big little Brothers, that's Who! And they got My Son, too!}

Apophenia, false connections, initially associated with early onset of schizophrenia wherein delusional thinking is mistaken for Revelation. The basic difference being that Revelation provides True insight into the nature of Reality and its inter-connectivity.

The word grew to describe a person's seeking or seeing faces in random images and even hearing messages in what is essentially 'white noise.'

Epiphany, essentially means the sudden realization of a great Truth, broadly used to mean a religious encounter (theophany).

Synchronicity, the experience of 2 or more events, causally unrelated or likely to occur together by chance but understood to be occurring together in a meaningful manner.

Appeared in the February 5, 2013 Los Angeles Times


Patternicity, a term coined in the 2008 book by Michael Shermer, The Believing Brain, to mean "the tendency to find meaningful patterns in meaningless noise." 

Meaningful associations, but not necessarily the Truth of the matter.

Which necessitates the need for testing 'What Is True?' to avoid reaching meaningless conclusions, or, making  mistakes.

Error--The negation of the null hypothesis, the general or default position of a statement that can be proven false. 

Type I Error-- A False Positive. Asserting something or a relationship exists when it doesn't. 

Type II Error- A False Negative or An Error of the Second Kind. Failure to assert what is present, a miss.

At first glance, patternicity sounds a lot like the manifestation of 'the beast' mentioned in Quran Sign 27:82.

Surah 27 An.Naml (Ants)
وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ
أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَابَّةً مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ
 تُكَلِّمُهُمْ
أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ (27:82

27:82  And once Our Promise Befalls them
We Bring Out/Produce for them dabat (  دَابَّةً  beast/ride/reptile/creeping thing/excursion/travel...) from the Earth
Indeed, people (communities) are ever uncertain/unconvinced of Our Signs.

A great deal of speculation goes into trying to resolve what exactly is the nature of 'the beast' mentioned in Sign 27:82, when the more meaningful discovery would be what exactly is the nature of 'the human being'?

There is the general assumption that since the human being was God's last 'creature' to be created, the human is the top-level vehicle for conceptualization and action that we as humans are typically born into.  And, are taught to develop our knowledge based on a common experience of our environment and other communities' around us.

That's why there is an emphasis on learning and accumulating knowledge, the ultimate goal to perfect one's ability to Reason. Probably in the hopes to develop or help the human brain evolve; the one organ in the body that never reaches its full capacity, even into adulthood.

Over a lifetime of use, most people do not ever utilize more than about 10% of the actual brain capacity available to them.

Is God, Our Creator, wasteful? How's that for a rhetorical question?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll answer it, anyway:
Surah 47 Muhammad (The Praiseworthy (pbuh)) 
فَلَا تَهِنُوا وَتَدْعُوا إِلَى السَّلْمِ وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ وَاللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ (47:35 
47:35) So do not falter and cry out for peace when have an advantage, and God is with you, and He will not waste your deeds.
Surah 52 Tur (The Tur, Mt. Sinai)
وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ
ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَانٍ 
أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَا أَلَتْنَاهُم مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ 
كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ (52:21  
52:21) And those who believe and whose seed (families, offspring) follow them in Faith, We reunite them with their offspring (children, families): And We Will never let go to waste any of their works: Each individual will be held in pledge for their deeds. 
See, the grave is not an escape hatch! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which seems to indicate that this feature of the human being is the one intended to propel its evolution--room at the top to grow, shall we say.

Evidence that the human's capacity to hone their ability to Reason is not only scattered throughout the Quran, especially at the culmination of some Surahs, where a final appeal is made to the 3'ulama ( the learned people of a given community ) to Use Their Reason, but throughout World Religions and other Abrahamic Faith Scriptures.

Just as in some Biblical passages, for example:

Proverbs 11:9
With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
Quran Surah 38 Saud 
38:46 إِنَّا أَخْلَصْنَاهُم بِخَالِصَةٍ ذِكْرَى الدَّار  
38:46 Indeed, We purified them by means of a thought most pure: the Remembrance of the Life to Come. 
{For Clarification Sign 38:46 is mentioned here since it alludes to the fact that such people (the Righteous) are living their own past lives while they have complete memory of a life they already lived, right alongside others' who think they are their contemporaries. 
How's that for time travel! 
Surah 25 Al.Furqahn (The Criterion)
وَما أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ

25:20 And We never sent as Our message-bearers any but those who indeed ate food, like other human beings, mortals, and went about in the market places: in this manner We cause you  to be a means of testing one another.  Are you able to endure (this test) with patience? For your Sustainer is Truly All-Seeing! }

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

Isaiah 11:9
They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ 
وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ  62:2        
62:2  He it is Who Sent among the unlettered ones (those not yet given Scripture) a messenger from amongst them, to recite to them His Revelations and to make them develop (evolve), and to teach them the Scripture and Judgment/Wisdom; indeed, prior to which they were in manifest error (wrongful).

Luke 11:52
“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

Surah 2 The Calf  
الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءهُمْ 
وَإِنَّ فَرِيقاً مِّنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ  2:146  
2:146 Those to whom We Entrusted the Scripture know (understand) it like they know their own sons (children), yet a faction of them deliberately sequester/hide the Truth. 

The fact that learning is embedded in the very nature of the human experience is also embedded in their language. Just considering the etymology for words pertaining to learning, knowing and knowledge, gives a sense of not only the discipline that should be engendered in human nature, but also establishes ties to the familial or cultural reasons that drive it, such as 'following', 'cultivating', 'teaching', 'lore', 'honor', 'speaking' (declaration) and even 'wedlock', or 'marriage'.

Nothing is missed here, since the word 'Love' is essentially party to all of this learning as the inference from 'acknowledge' implies 'mutual respect'--words that are pseudonyms for 'Love'.

The New Testament puts it this way:

John 1:1
In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Allah).

learn (v.) 
Old English leornian "to get knowledge, be cultivated, study, read, think about," from Proto-Germanic *liznojan (cf. Old Frisian lernia, Middle Dutch leeren, D utch leren, Old High German lernen, German lernen "to learn," Gothic lais "I know"), with a base sense of "to follow or find the track," from PIE *leis- "track." Related to German Gleis "track," and to Old English læst "sole of the foot" (see last (n.)).
... from Old English læran "to teach" (cf. Dutch leren, German lehren "to teach," literally "to make known;" see lore), and is preserved in pp. adjective learned "having knowledge gained by study."

Note: The connection between learning and 'travel by foot', as in pedestrian notions is a concept that is reinforced in the Quran in several verses: 3:137_6:11_9:02_16:36_27:69_29:20, and 30:42 are among the more readily accessible to this understanding of learning by travel.


know (v.) 
Old English cnawan (class VII strong verb; past tense cneow, pp. cnawen), "to know, perceive; acknowledge, declare," from Proto-Germanic *knew- (cf. Old High German bi-chnaan, ir-chnaan "to know"), from PIE root *gno- "to know" (cf. Old Persian xšnasatiy "he shall know;" Old Church Slavonic znati, Russian znat "to know;" Latin gnoscere; Greek *gno-, as in gignoskein; Sanskrit jna- "know"...e.g. German wissen, kennen, erkennen and in part können; French connaître, savoir; Latin novisse, cognoscere; Old Church Slavonic znaja, vemi). The Anglo-Saxons used two distinct words for this, witan (see wit) and cnawan.

Meaning "to have sexual intercourse with" is attested from c.1200, from the Old Testament. To not know one's ass from one's elbow is from 1930. To know better "to have learned from experience" is from 1704. You know as a parenthetical filler is from 1712, but it has roots in 14c. To know too much (to be allowed to live, escape, etc.)

knowledge (n.) 
early 12c., cnawlece "acknowledgment of a superior, honor, worship;" for first element see know. Second element obscure, perhaps from Scandinavian and cognate with the -lock "action, process," found in wedlock. Meaning "capacity for knowing, understanding; familiarity; fact of knowing" is late 14c. Sense of "an organized body of facts or teachings" (aka Knowledge Object--See? I cleaned up the F.U. obcenity--That aughta teach 'em!) is from c.1400, as is that of "sexual intercourse." Also a verb in Middle English, knoulechen "acknowledge" (c.1200), later "find out about; recognize," and "to have sexual intercourse with" {Not because I am 'horny', but because I finally get 'the wife' reference!}

wedlock (n.)
Old English wedlac "pledge-giving, marriage vow,"(this implies both parties should be in on it!)  from wed + -lac, noun suffix meaning "actions or proceedings, practice," attested in about a dozen Old English compounds (cf. feohtlac "warfare"), but this is the only surviving example. Suffix altered by folk etymology through association with lock (n.1). Meaning "condition of being married" ...

And the Quran adds this much more about that basic Word of God; the How and Why It Propagates:

Surah 53 An.Najm (The Unfolding, Revelation, The Star)
وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى (53:1
53:1 By The Revelation As It Propagates...

The assertion in Surah 53 is that not only is God's Word propagated during the period of its first Revelation to a Prophet or Messenger, but that it propagates throughout the multitudes of Creation (the manifold levels or planes of existence) for all Time.

Surah 17 Al.Isra (The Ascension) 
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَـذَا الْقُرْآنِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ
 فَأَبَى أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلاَّ كُفُورًا 17:89
17:89 Most certainly, We Provided for humanity in this Quran multi-faceted lessons,yet, most people prefer to blaspheme (dispute its validity)

These levels, or multiple universes, on the human level at least, may take the following forms or echelons:
From the Top Level--God's Word:
  • Scripture
  • Angels, Messengers
  • People, and other Communities of Living Things, ie., Jinn, Fauna, Flora...
  • The Actions and Behaviors of Such Communities
  • The Environment: 
    • weather, 
    • signage,  
      • 51:20 وَفِي الْأَرْضِ آيَاتٌ لِّلْمُوقِنِينَ 
51:20 And in/on the Earth are Signs for those 'endowed with inner certainty ;  
    • the media, such as television, books, papers, blogs, radio, etc.
  • Information from Sources that are often overlooked or ignored when it comes to being authentic augers, such as:
    • Dreaming, ie., 
    • Children
      • What they say
      • What they do
      • How they interact in the World We Think We're In 

Hence, the plea from Abraham to God that the Message be Affirmed or Refreshed  via His progeny from Time to Time.

Surah 2 Al.Baqara (The Calf)
كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولاً مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِنَا
 وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ
وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْلَمُونَ2:151      
2:151 Even as We Sent within you (your midst) a messenger of you (one of your own people), to recite to you Our Revelations (Signs) and cause you to develop/evolve thereby, and to teach you the Scripture and Wisdom/Judgment, 
and to teach you that which you did not know.

Surah 3 Al.3'mran (The 3'mran)
وَكَيْفَ تَكْفُرُونَ وَأَنتُمْ تُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتُ اللّهِ وَفِيكُمْ رَسُولُهُ
وَمَن يَعْتَصِم بِاللّهِ فَقَدْ هُدِيَ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ 3:101 
3:101  And how can you deny the Faith while having Allah's (God's) Signs Revealed to/over you, and His messenger dwells with you. 
And whoever firmly believe (holds onto) God will be guided onto the righteous path.  

That's how much My Father Loves Me, and why I don't mind the cold shoulder (duck season) so much now that I am within hearing range :~(  {I lied, I mind it very much...}

Surah 3 Al.3'mran (The 3'mran)
تِلْكَ آيَاتُ اللّهِ
نَتْلُوهَا عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ
وَمَا اللّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعَالَمِينَ 3:108
3:108  Such are God's Signs
That We Recite To  You In Truth,
And, God Does Not Desire Injustice/Oppression/Darkness in/for/to the Worlds (Creation).

Surah 7 Al.A3raf  (The Heights)
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ إِمَّا
 يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي
 فَمَنِ اتَّقَى وَأَصْلَحَ
فَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ  7:35    
7:35 O, Children of Adam (Humanity)!
He Grants you a messenger of you to clarify for you Our Signs (Ayat.al.Quran).
So that whoever heeds (the message) and corrects (their divergent path),
no fear shall they have nor shall they grieve.

Surah 35 Al.Fatir (The Originator)
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا
 فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ
 بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ35:32
35:32  Then We Made to Inherit The Book (Scripture) whomever We Choose from/of Our Servants (Faithful),
Some of whom had wronged themselves (sinned), and some of them are provident, and some of them surpass others in goodness,
by God's Will (Ordinance).
This is a great preference/favor/advantage/merit.

And, other viable information from trusted sources, such as Hadith, about learning as narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah will not deprive you of knowledge after he has given it to you, but it will be taken away through the death of the religious learned men along with their knowledge. Then there will remain ignorant people who, when consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions whereby they will mislead others and go astray." 
According to this hadith, the ultimate downfall or failure of a system (society, test, or system)  is acting based on information that is not valid, be it unknown (not within the purview of the actor) or misinterpreted (the actor takes action on a misunderstood or poorly understood concept).

Surah 1 Fatiha (The Opening)
1:1 Bismillah Al.Rahman Al.Raheem...
1:6 Ah.dinna as.sirrat al.mustaqeem
1:7 Sirat al.laththeena an.3mta 3'layhum, ghairi al.maghdubi 3'lyhum, walla adh.dhaleen
ammeen.

1:1 In the Name of God, The Rahman, The Raheem...

1:6 Guide us onto the straight Path (Right Way, Correctly, Least Likely Prone to Error...)
1:7 The Path of those You Graced With Your Guidance, Not those (other than) those that incurred Your Wrath, and Not (Neither that) of the ones who are Lost (Mislead Others).
Amen.

In some translations of the Quran the verse 1:7 is given quite an interpretively wide range of who or what those who 'incur God's Wrath' and those who 'mislead' or are 'lost' may be, but the Scripture is clear in what they are literally described to be.

When interpreted with seditious intentions, those who God is said to be angry with are stated to be the "Jews" and the misguided/misleading ones are said to be the 'Christians'--what I would call a gross misinterpretation of The Law, because neither of these 2 categories of people are mentioned in the passage in Sign 1:7 at all.

Were that the intended meaning, they would have been called out as such in Sign 1:7 as  they were elsewhere in the Quran when they are mentioned as: B'Nai Israel (Jews); or Ansaar (Nazireen, Christians); or simply as 'People of the Book (Earlier Scripture)'.

Yet, many adhere to the self-described self-motivated learned community's interpretation of the passage  (or 3'ulamma)  without questioning the validity of the message in context or by examining the original source for themselves.

A sure recipe for disaster.

Information from lower-level sources has to be understood within the contemporary context by those recognizing the message since such sources may not have had access to adequate technology or language to deliver the information in a format that can be encompassed by those he/she/it dwelt among.

Surah 36 Ya.Seen
وَمَا عَلَيْنَا إِلاَّ الْبَلاَغُ الْمُبِينُ 36:17   
36:17 And We are not bound to do more than to deliver the Message Clearly...

In turn, there is an expectation that the newly informed community that is given the faculty to discern such a message to Act Accordingly:

Surah 3 Al.3'mran (The 3'mran)
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللّهُ مِيثَاقَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ لَمَا آتَيْتُكُم مِّن كِتَابٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ
ثُمَّ جَاءكُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُ
قَالَ أَأَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكُمْ إِصْرِي
قَالُواْ أَقْرَرْنَا
 قَالَ فَاشْهَدُواْ وَأَنَاْ مَعَكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ 3:81
3:81   And God Made a Pact with the Messengers (Angels, Prophets, Apostles), "Whenever I Grant You of Scripture and Wisdom (Judgment) and thereafter an honest/trustworthy message-bearer comes to You confirming what Is With You, that You Believe him/her/it (the message-bearer) and that You help/aide/assist them."
He Said, "Agree--and, make My Covenant Binding with You?"
They Said, "We Agree!"
He Said, "Bear Witness (to it) and I Am A Witness Among You."

Surah 2 Al.Baqara (The Calf)
وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا
لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَاء عَلَى النَّاسِ
وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيْهَا
إِلاَّ لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ
وَإِن كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلاَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللّهُ
وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ 2:143  
2:143  And in this manner, We Made you a Community of the Middle-Way (Moderation, Even-handed) to be Witness over other Nations (Nas),
and the Messenger is Witness over you. And We did not make the Qibla (Direction to which you once prayed) that you once faced (intend to), except to We Determine (Know, Establish) which of you follows the messenger and who will turn on his heels (revert to apostasy).
Indeed, a very difficult trial for those guided aright to God.
And God Shall not waste your Faithfulness (Iman).
Indeed, God Is Ever-Compassionate toward mankind, Raheem (Merciful).

Yet, such wrong interpretations that are accepted without referring to the original text and absent the even-handed, judicious consideration of a Knowledgeable person in the Community propagating the correct information to counteract the ignorance, that community quickly devolves based on the actions they take based on the wrong information.

And this is what the hadith above, as Narrated by Abdullah bin'Amr, is warning against: that a major part of the learned community dies out leaving only the ignorant people behind to simply render their opinions on second-hand information (be it science, medicine, law, religion, etc.) since they are absent any faculty for discernment of what delineates: True or False; Right from Wrong; The White Thread from the Black Thread of Dawn, and pass it off on a broad swathe of the populace as 'The God's Honest Truth'--Ya Know, like 'S'wear-ring!

Example: 

A society degraded due to ignorant leaders who formulate judgment based on their own opinion and NOT learned deliberation behaves thusly: 
California Vehicle Code (insert your favorite one here) assesses a penalty for a moving violation of a given type (elaborate on your favorite one here). 
(Aside: Did You Know...LAPD badge numbers may have as few as 1 digit, and according to one officer whose 5 digit badge number started with 16, he was hired in the 90's and officers hired now (c. 2013) have badge numbers that start with 20...?) 
In this example it is handed to a 20-year old full-time student on her way to a part-time job, who is essentially a displaced homeless person because she is bearing the brunt of her father's anger after he divorces her mother (because she aged out of the marriage, let's just say) and, so, kicks her out of the house, too. 
This student, who happens to look like a cross between a Monchichi  and a Bratz doll, now has to decide whether to pay for her school registration ($250) in order to get the classes she needs before they close her out or pay the ticket ($450 penalty for the moving violation according to the vehicle code). 
She is also stressed, homeless, prone to anxiety attacks, and doesn't have enough gas money to fly around all over town and does not want to burden her already now transient, stressed out, chronically ill newly divorced mother whom she knows to have been forced out of the marriage with nothing but debt. 
Mass transit is not a viable option because the buses don't run frequently enough and she hauls around a portfolio that is half her body height. 
Since she only has $276 in her account, the kid decides to register for school and not miss graduating on time if she doesn't get the classes she needs, and then go to court to plead her case before the, ahem, 'judge'. 
After the new semester is underway and the beleaguered young adult is making a harsh adjustment, she makes time to go to the courthouse, see the clerk, plead 'not guilty' (the only way you can see the judge whether you think you did something wrong or not), and ya know, appeal to their 'reason.' 
She gets a court date to come back another time. So, she takes time off work and school that day to see the Judge and because that day the docket was set in reverse alphabetical order, the little driver with the big ticket winds up being the last one to be called before the Judge. 
She forfeited the whole day because it was the equivalent to a 'cattle call'--awww, sweetie-pi :~( 
The, ahem, 'Judge', after not really listening to the facts as to why this person could not pay the ticket on time, more than DOUBLES the fine (what amounted to half the annual income for this individual--goodness!!
So, our little Monchichi Bratz Doll, walks out of the courthouse that day as The Monchichi Bratz Ninja Doll from Hel, calls Her Mother with the Outcome, screaming, "I KNOW now why people blow up government buildings!!" 
(hel being defined as just about the farthest place removed from God and she acting like our homegrown version of  la femme Nikita--She was made in the USA, that's how We Know She's Good! Our version of 'Tonka-tested-tough')

An Object Lesson:


The Beast  dabat (  دَابَّةً  beast/ride/reptile/creeping thing/excursion/travel...)
in 27:82, however, is an object of some unfamiliar sort intended to provide just such a lesson, given the emphasis that it travels and relates information about an individual's life. 

The inference is that it manifests after Judgment for the individual has been rendered ('the promise that befalls') or perhaps after they leave the earthly plane of existence. The machination is something 'from the Earth to Speak to them', in all likelihood to help us gain some insight as to what we were doing in retrospect during our erstwhile life.

And since Steve H. keeps identifying with an objectionable object, the following dedicated section to this blog post is one form such a beast, dabat, may take since it can be any vehicle used to inform; natural, man-made, or other:

Given that God is not an object, yet His avatar wanna-be earth-bound version , Steve H., insists that he is an ass 0 --Humility? Self-deprecation?,  or,  No, Really!--it is Our Duty to try our best to shore up his E-Go! By learning to say something like this:
"There are all kinds of parts to the Human Body.   
Even the 2-fers are necessary. 
But since the Ass 0 is singular, and nothing proceeds forward without it should it be bogged down needlessly, it is a Most Vital Ent.ET
Moreover, it incurs the highest maintenance costs, on average (think: just the associated TP and water consumption costs alone to keep it Tide.E). 
That's why it gets to be the Boss and paid Hand.some.ly!"
How's that for a dabin, Dear code-word 'husband' Steve H., to help You come to terms with your self-effacing assessment of yours truly? 

Surah 36 Ya.Siin
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا
وَآثَارَهُمْ
وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أحْصَيْنَاهُ فِي إِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ (36:12   

And everything We Accounted in/by a Conspicuous/Evident Imam/Record (إِمَامٍ , the root umma, meaning Nations/Communities and the Imam is a leader in such communities (it could be any community, not just human))

The playback from data loggers can serve as technological analogs for such a beast, too, given that they are designed to record information over protracted periods of time, in inclement conditions, and often without constant oversight. 

Data Logger, a type of Data Acquisition System with very long sample times.
Intuitively, it is tempting to simply use the ratio of the Chapter:Verse 36/12 or 12/36 (that's a 3, or 1/3) for the speed for such a record or playback, just to see what, if anything, We missed the first time through or when We thought No One was watching. (Refer to Lusona Lesson and the ratio 1/3 for more insight into this coming-of-age story).

Given that the human body is innately wired to process information from its environment through sight, sound, touch and visceral perception (extra-sensory modes, such as 'intuition', 'deduction', etc.) it can be thought of as, dare I say, an Antenna.

And such a body behaves like an organic transceiver that both emits and receives information via oscillations, or vibrations, in its surroundings.

Just like its man-made analogs, it can only transmit or receive those frequencies which it is primed or tuned into, whether electro-magnetic, sonic, or other--i.e., chemical (atomic or molecular), mechanical (concussive, shock), and physical (like pressure waves, gravitational waves, tidal waves, etc.).

The vibrations can be harmonic or discrete (quanta, packets, passels), but as long as that human body is tuned to it, it can process such oscillations as information.

It is indicated that baseline neural oscillations in the human brain can be altered by activities such as prayer and meditation. Spiritualists, such as monks and nuns, can establish an average neural gamma wave of about 40 Hz during prayer and meditation, and this gamma neural frequency range  (25-100 Hz) is known to be activated during vision quests. 

It then stands to reason that altering the natural resonance frequency ranges in a human body can lead to enhancing or blocking their ability to perceive the all the vibrations in their environment.

This amounts to essentially opening up their ability to access more of the field of information available to them in order to widen accessibility to typically unavailable frequencies or limiting their ability to perceive or function by interfering with their baseline resonance frequency levels.

There are established methods to doing this, some were mentioned earlier like meditation and prayer. Other means include: the known side-effects to medications; psychoactive agents (LSD, cocaine, etc.); being born with a wider (Seers) or more limited frequency tuning range (individuals having Autism and Aspergers ); and then the old-fashioned stand-by, 'involuntary human subjects to toxic air events'--commonly referred to as 'sick-building syndrome' and a host of other environmentally triggered disorders.

Any such modification, whether to enhance or delimit, of the God-Ordered natural state of the human being must never be done without that human being's consent after being fully apprised of the ramifications such tampering (dampening or acceleration) with the normal baseline frequency resonances of  such an individual entails.

For one thing, it might make them very sick. For another thing, having their perception challenged and altered in such a way, they will never be the same person again--which may not always be an 'enhancement' for the better.

And absent any known viral, bacterial, or other identifiable causative, they are liable to think they are crazy!

Or, if they conclude that crazy isn't supposed to HURT, make them carry around a new agenda each day that typically was not a consideration prior to such an experience, (like 'I will try not to hurt myself or others' because they wouldn't in the first place, but now it's an issue),  and want to carry around data loggers with very long sample times and playback the recordings at different speeds to verify that with their enhanced brain wave spectrum they heard right--Steve Is An AssO!
