3D matrix Programming

[Al Today]

Let me say up front that I am not a computer engineer.
No degree, but I have taken enough courses for more than a couple, but I did not take the underwater basket weaving courses.
The public school system sucks and I am self educated.
I do think old dogs can learn new tricks. My opinion...
I am stuggling with my thoughts, so forgive if i ramble...
There are many events that brought me to these thoughts, and questions...
The thread 'What's Your Work' got me thinking, pondering...
In the 'old days', ( i assume someone can still do this, I don't know how yet with dotNET schtuff )...
Back when disk drives rumbled like an old clothes washing machine, and computers had pretty lights...
As a programmer I could go into core storage and make changes.
You may ask, 'What is core storage'?
When a program is running, there is a core storage where all data is available.
Realtime processing, in the middle of a calculation, on the way to a resultant event. ( there is that 'time' word/thing)...
The actual information that written program is using at that instance, point of time.
When there was a program interrupt, an error, terminal, the program is gonna die, that problem would inform the operator that there is something wrong,
For example, you can't put alphabetic data into a numeric field, the computer wll puke, guaranteed,,,
Armed with a hex calculator, I would go into core storage and change that value in error, MAKE it right.
With me so far.?.?.?
So, with all this analogies of running 3D programs, what am I to think of the 6D programmers?
They must be able to change program parameters/data 'on the fly', ya think?
I could change 'em in 3D...
How does this work for the programmers in the 'upper' densities?
I am on a roll here...
Kites, yeah...
Like I said, I am self educated.
I started thinking of a kite above my head.
As long as I think of it, it is there.

AI,

I follow your gist, I think.

Have a look at functional programming languages. Of course they apply only to computers, but you will get an idea of how data can easily become a FUNCTION or procedure. Scheme or Lisp are good to start with. Based on Lambda calculus.

Now, if you abstract that out to how it could be used against a different sort of machine, say a human brain, you can see how it is important when you read here that bad data is much worse than NO data. Search for "ligands" on this site.

Also consider associative memory schemes and how the results of processing using said schemes are affected by first a small set within a data/perception pool and then secondly, a large set of data/perception pool.


Cheers.

If I understand what you are saying correctly AI, here is my take...

All physical things are "programmable". I see it like the soul/consciousness/spirit is
inside the physical object, be it a rock, plant, microbe, animal, human, or 4D. So, the
4D's and possibly 3D's are busily hammering away at "tinkering" with the object trying
to force the situation according to their subjective manipulations. I am not quite sure
just how far "down" the densities this "programming" is possible for those on lower
levels.

I would venture to guess that those at the 4D level can take this "programming" to a much
higher level - they can manipulate energy at the ethereal level - all physical and part ethereal
which might be beyond what we can understand at the 3D level.

After all, our senses are actually (physical) interfaces that somehow attaches to our
consciousness/spirit/whatever and and it is probably being 'manipulated' and this manupiulation
"tells us" (though programming?) what our reality is -- but perhaps it is all an illusion? OSIT

And I appreciate all your help and patience.
I really can’t say why I started this thread.

These may be only petty thoughts.
But I just had an urge to broadcast these thoughts.

We live in linear time.
So let's focus a minute on a particular section of software code.
The instructions are executed in a linear fashion, one after another.
Put some rules in there to ‘control’ situations that may arise.

But sometimes, an event occurs that is perhaps unplanned for?
Or, the program is running and is working towards a result that the programmer does not desire?

What is a programmer to do?

1) Well… the programmer could kill the program.
Perform some program modifications, test the changes, and finally restart the program.

2) Or perhaps, while the program is running, the programmer might go into core storage and change data.
Making a ‘tweak’ within the live runtime data, an adjustment, change.
Attempting to veer away from the undesired result that was seen coming.

I am thinking that ‘I’ could be just an itsy bitsy piece of data within a larger program.
That larger program could be ‘tweaked’ by some programmer.
Could ‘I’ see/feel that ‘tweak’?

And then again…
‘I’ could be the machine where a program is running.
If that program is not functioning correctly, what would/could that programmer do?

Okay, I'm done.
I wonder of the value of what I stated, but perhaps someone may benefit.

Hi Al,

In keeping with the computer science lingo, here are my bits...

An experienced programmer will usually protect critical sections of code by surrounding them with exception handling. The key is to identify those critical sections and be aware to handle unexpected events. From a human standpoint, be aware of your programs and ready to trap and handle that exception.

I am thinking that ‘I’ could be just an itsy bitsy piece of data within a larger program.
That larger program could be ‘tweaked’ by some programmer.
Could ‘I’ see/feel that ‘tweak’?

Or, you could be a thread running within a larger program. You could very well be event-driven, pre-programmed to respond to specific input.

And then again…
‘I’ could be the machine where a program is running.
If that program is not functioning correctly, what would/could that programmer do?

No doubt we are all machines with our various programs running, I agree. If the program is not functioning properly, time to debug. Step through your debugger and analyze the code segments in question.

Cheers!

Step through your debugger and analyze the code segments in question.

Now please, Allow me to entertain this thought.
Being in this lowley 3D extistance.
My experience is that Murphy's law does exist.

MURPHY's Law: noun
Any of certain humorous axioms stating that anything that can possibly go wrong, will go wrong.

I have learned this is true.
Speaking from my 3D existance, that is...
Any program of update, there is ALWAYS a common problem.
Sooner or later, a human decision needs to be made.
I have NEVER been able to program the replacement of a human decision.
There is most likely SOMETHING that happens that is unexpected.
For example:
I installed a package that FORCES a user to match a shipping reciept to a purchase order.
On the recieving dock, these guys have boatloads of trucks to unload.
Towmoters all over, unloading.
They just DO NOT CARE about matching a reciept to a purchace order.
They have trucks to unload.!.!.!
So, they found a global, blanket purchase order number
They ain' got time for this computer krap...
So... for six(6) weeks, EVERYTHING received came against that one(1) puchase order,
What the hell was I supposed to do?
What line of code would stop them?
How could I stop them from pushing 'override' button?
So anyway, you state that I should run a debugger...
How can a program debug when it sees no problem.?.?.?


So... let's think these cosmic programmers are far, far advanced of my 3D understading...
And who is to say that the 4D junior progammers can't affect core storage, affect, and try to change outcomes.?.?.?
Run my debugger?
Who says I have authority to access that debugger?

The solution is easy to solve. Using bar-codes or RFID chips, this ensures
that all incoming items are checked automatically as there are recording
sensors requiring no work on the part of the dock workers. Unfortunately,
the dock worker will now have quotas to meet and now instead of taking
their time, they will be required to run. From the management's perspective
this keeps them in shape (pant, pant) and they have no time to be lazy.

As for the contents of the boxes, no problem. The RFID chips are EMBEDDED
into the product. In order to get around this, they would have to somehow
find an RFID chip of the right data in order to put it onto a bomb instead of
a fruit cake - but that would somehow require an inside job to steal those
chips but even then, it would be almost impossible since those chips are handled
electronically and mechanically. But as you know, humans have a way of getting
around things.... shoot that damn bugger! :) Hmm....

So from the 4D perspective, perhaps we have those little devices already embedded
in each and every one of us since we are their cattle, and much more than that. The
devices monitor much more than heart rate, body temp., EEGs, Brain wave pattern,
what we see, what we hear, what we feel, what we think, two-way receiver-transmitters,
upload/download memory devices, well - our body is just that - a BIOGenetic MACHINE.

Ah... it is a cinch for 4D -- NO PROBLEM. But the catch is - that darn thing called
consciousness... how can the 4D handle THAT LITTLE BUGGER!!! They try by "tweeking"
"programming", "fudge factoring", and "manipulations" to GET THAT HUMAN BACK INTO
THE PEN and to PUT THEM BACK TO SLEEP. They can do this "remotely" or to send one
of their minions (Grays, MIB, ???) to get that human back into line but only in very rare
cases, me thinks.

That is perhaps the 4D's Murphy's Law, OSIT.

 

[Al Today]

But as you know, humans have a way of getting around things....

YES.
We do have the ability to think.
We can be quite unpredictable.
We can be a virus, create new bugs in the system.
That's why those pesky 4D programmers have a job.!.!.!
Showing my age now, my little dock story was before bar coding was viable for the masses.
There definately were no RFID's.!.!.!
This was before cable TV and microwave ovens.
I cannot believe how fast these technoid doo-dads are developed and being refined.

One thought about our computers...
In the business world anyway, hardware seems to improve faster than software.
This is just curious to me as I observe our world.
I may write some state of the art schtuff, but some of the legacy code I maintain is over thirty(30) years old.
Perhaps this is why old programmers like me are still around.

 

[dant]

Yes, wisdom of the past hopefully helps one to understand the future when they enter it as we have now, to hopefully warn the younger generation of things of the past so that perhaps history won't repeat itself. But then I find that the barrier between the older generation and the younger generation is difficult to crack as we oldies are too old to know anything about their new generation, or so they think. I also find that not ALL younger generations are as closed minded and they are indeed smarter than we were when we were their age. They have matured much, but they have also lost much due to the increased confusion of the noise, machines and devices that did not exist then.

 

[Al Today]

Ahhh, the younger generation...
I was part of that younger generation who were told to get haircuts & jobs.
I wonder what would've happened if I did go to live on that commune years ago?

I feel that parents have great infuence with their children.
My kids are good guys, open minded, but they are hooked on those technoid gadgets.!.!.!
They are weary of my attempts to impart wisdom...
Like, get that portable microwave(cell phone) off your head...
Like, play outside and get off that blasted PC (warcraft online)...
The other day, one was walking out the door, and I caught myself.
My kid was staring at me, waiting for the usual dad thing...
I told 'em to warm up the car (very cold outside), you could bite your tongue when your teeth chatter...
Sorry to get off the subject...
