I have a friend in NYC , a public school art teacher , whom I feel has good intentions . But I find it impossible to understand why a red light didn't go off for every honest New Yorker as soon as the Statists started calling Trump a racist . Every New Yorker understands you can't be a mega-builder in the City and give a damn about anything other than whether the job gets done . And Trump's long friendship with many winners , whatever there other flaws may be , like Don King and Mike Tyson belies the these Lenininst LIES .

And this has been followed by the endless costly perjurious  abuse not only Trump and the administration but every HONEST citizen who calls them out on their insane calumnies .


While they have cheered on the riotous mobs of race baiters , they subject their populations to virtual house arrest . The best phrase I've seen for this is anarcho-tyranny .
All the while openly promising , if one understands economics and math and physics , to make everyone but themselves poorer .


I lost several from this mail list including some luminaries in the APL pantheon , including one who was instrumental in encouraging me to roll my own APL despite my ignorance of how such dynamic systems are done . ( It's like climbing the Himalayas . )

And I received friendly warnings as to how un-politic is the mixing of politics and product . But I have never denied my rationality . An aspect of math and physics and real science is that once you understand something deeply enough to understand it is true , you can't unknow it . And if you live your life with the computer , particularly in the most mathematical of languages , APL , statements are either perfect , or they don't work . Honesty and truth are unforgiving .

And one of the most pernicious of the  falsehoods where the Leninists have set the stage for the current subjugation of their populations is , to use Stanley Goldenberg's great phrase , AlGoreWarming , now yclept Climate Change . See below at #PlanetaryTemperature .

But , one of the beautiful aspects of capitalism , ie: free and open markets , is that you do not have to agree with another's philosophy , politics or religion ,  to  engage in mutually beneficial exchanges .

On the other hand , the market , particularly for APL ( Forth most notably satellites ) has always been corporate board level system , most concentrated in international financial institutions . It is the direct support , as equals , of such individuals in everyday business which is the highest value market for CoSy providing a cash flow for the talent to flesh out and polish  CoSy into a world competitive ` app .  Given the directness of that relationship , I have no interest in dealing with those lacking a very very deep sense of honor .  Because the business of CoSy will be conducted in  CoSy , most particularly , the accounting .
More on this next time .

#4th.CoSy SV-FIG_ForthDay | Zooms now up at  Forth Day 2020   Before the conference there was a useful email discussion about Brad's planned talk on Forth in C .   The substance is here . | ======================== | Sat.Nov,20201121 | ======================== | 10 | SV Forth Day | | 1038 | dead camera . didn't say anything anyway | Bill Ragsdale demo of Julian Noble's matrix vocabulary .   0. _f i( 3 4 )i take >t0> (  0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000  0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000  0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000  )  t0 # t0 #' ,/ ,L (  3  4 4 4  ) | -- From Me to Everyone:  10:59 AM My most embarrassing talk was on a panel at an ACM APL conf in Montreal including a speaker from MATLAB . Particularly Embarassing because Guy Steele was in the audience .I strongly recommend anyone interested in these sorts of things study APL and K which have evolved these concepts over the last 60+ years . One simplification in CoSy is that everything is a list , and a matrix is a list of equal length lists and modulo indexing simplifies many expressions . | 1104 |  A Slightly Different Forth Compiler Design --- Joseph O'Connor . ref : Martin Tracy Forth book | Rise Internet connection very bad . missed some important stuff . | 1547 | Exponential notation output , eg :  -1.0e-1 To add substance to my seriousness of my proposal to Heartland Institute below , I've decided it important to translate the computation from the K in my ICCC9 talk and in CoSy.com/Science/ColoredBalls into Forth CoSy . It's really a simple ratio of dot products ; but the dot products are between spectra most fundamentally Planck's thermal power spectrum .  In K :   {[ l ; T ] ( ( 2 * h * c ^ 2 ) % l ^ 5 ) % ( _exp ( h * c ) % l * boltz * T ) - 1 } My everyday math uses of CoSy are more about keeping my own accounts -- which are far from needing exponential notation . The floating vocabulary in the Reva Forth CoSy is in can understand -1.e-1 it doesn't know how to output it . This has been a minor irritation , but that ` h is Planck's Constant and is 6.626069e-034 . It is notable that exponential formatting floating point numbers becomes more of a hassle  than translating the Planck function for complete spectra and arbitrary temperatures in a form straightforwardly applicable to voxel maps of planetary atmosphere . So , exponential output has popped to the top of my irritation driven development stack , and I've been working on it since Sat.Nov,20201121 . Getting down into http://cosy.com/4thCoSy/Code/lib/math/floats and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision#x86_extended_precision_format . Learning a lot . Haven't  gotten down to this x8X level level in a loong time . Never really gotten into the details of little-endian storage  and formatting .  Being able to work at this level is not even possible in any traditional APL . You'd have to wait for the central committee . I spent a good bit of the week on digging down into bit and byte level and developed a fair amount of understanding of methods and vocabulary to both examine what I was dealing with , eg:    f( 0.0 1.0 -1.0 0.1 1.1  1.0e8 -1.0e-1 3.1415928 )f >t0>   t0  { van _str c>i } 'm >t1>     |   t1 { fmtI$ 2 _i ' take 'L blMV } 'm     |   t1 { fmtI$ ,/ } aaplym   t0 fmtF blpad pad  t1 { fmtI$ 2 _i ' take 'L blMV } 'm ' cL 'd (  0.0000         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  1.0000         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 FF 3F  -1.0000        00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 FF BF  0.0999         CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC FB 3F  1.0999         CC CC CC CC CC CC CC 8C FF 3F  100000000.0000 00 00 00 00 00 20 BC BE 19 40  -0.0999        CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC FB BF  3.1415         AA 24 57 56 3F DB FF C9 00 40  )  While the Reva Forth CoSy is built in  contains   short_word  16bit , and  double  64 bit , fetches and stores as well as the character byte and word ( cell ) 32b vocabulary , I've never used them . And a float is essentially a double followed by a short .  I even posted on FB : FORTH PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE 21st CENTURY a question if anybody knew and had code for Floating exponential output . Bunch of ` likes and even some code which led to some I didn't know I had ( I think I need to revisit it now that I understand more ) . I even went back and forth between using vocabulary which works directly from the x87 floating stack or working with the saved 10 byte representation . I'm going with the latter . In any case , I haven't totally parsed the thing yet . My lack of clarity on little-endianness is definitely a factor .  But it is also clear that boolean , short and double are at the top of the list of needed types to be added to CoSy -- a fairly straightforward process . All that I've managed to get solid is : fsgn_ vbody 9 + c@ %10000000 and  0 >I ;  | returns 1 for negative float  t0 { fmtF ,/ } 'm blpad pad t0 { fsgn_ _i fmtI ,/ } 'm ' cL 'd  | works (  0.0000         0  1.0000         0  -1.0000        1  0.0999         0  1.0999         0  100000000.0000 0  -0.0999        1  3.1415         0  ) The ongoing work is  uploaded at  http://cosy.com/4thCoSy/Code/CoSy/ . FB : FORTH PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE 21st CENTURY comment :  Essence of Forth   Something I instantly saw in Forth was a unique clarity of understanding of the distinction between laying down definitions in a dictionary , or even , unless the processor itself is Forth , laying down core vocabulary defined in another , eg: chip , language . : ; & { } evaluating a sentence written in those definitions [ ] ie: run time versus compile time . I came later to appreciate the to me at first wasteful use of   ( ) to distinguish , from the machine's PoV : " you talking to me ? " vs " you just talking to each other " More FB : Anonymous verbs Joel , How do you have a ` named anything on the stack ? One thing about working at the CoSy level is that generally items on the stack are CoSy lists so a word can ` look-at what is being passed . Ilya , Hmm , Reva Forth doesn't have ' :NONAME , but { } is clearly similar . It is essential to the operations of CoSy . For instance , I'm still working on implemented exponential output , eg: -1.0e-1 , and yesterday wrote   16 _iota binary fmtI decimal ` 0 swap { cL -4 _fill } 'd ( 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 ) to make a list of all the hex booleans where that { ... } is applied to append a ` 0 to and left fill each of the bools . A serious limitation at this point is that { ... } are not nestable . I believe some variants of RetroForth do have nestable ` quotations . More FB : Reference Counting One of the reasons I followed Arthur Whitney into K rather than Iverson & Hui into J when there was a fork in APL was the the simplicity and transparency of Arthur's structure . Verbs are simply defined by  { ... } and associated with a name , eg: plus : { x + y } in the current dictionary , a pair of associated lists of names and values . CoSy follows that , but not at the level of Forth definitions . Had enough to bushwhack figuring out how to implement dynamic lists and APL , K , vocabulary . When out at ForthDay 2015 , hanging out at the Bean Scene in Sunnyvale I happened to be introduced to Ken Thompson and we chatted about an hour . He said reference counting was a dated tek compared to heap . I had wished Arthur was there to defend his reference counting . My course following his was set in a conversation waiting for an elevator after a small presentation he made at Union Bank of Switzerland in Manhattan who were funding his creation of K . Arthur had commented that he never moved anything . By the elevator he elaborated that he kept an inventory list of empty 2^n byte slots , n > perhaps 4 , of , well , I think best thought of as addresses spaces . and when a ref count returned to 0 , freed the slot . I think , in fact , that simplicity is part of the world class speed of K . Given the ` crystalline nature of CoSy's lists of lists , anything other than reference accounting offends my sense of . well , accounting . Sam Falvo got right to the recursive core in his CoSy internals intro , SV-FIG presentation . Multiple entry points Bob Armstrong > Greg Jenkins | A feature I like in Reva is being able to lay down multiple named entry points to a definition . I use it not just to make things simpler than using alias , but to create simple variations . Eg: : _cut _i : cut ( v i -- v ) dup i# >r cut\ r> 1 =if dsc then ; | cuts string at Idxs , Arthur Whitney's def | Generally , partitions a list into sublists beginning at indices . discloses if singleton index Generally CoSy verbs expect CoSy lists as arguments . But words prefixed with ` _ use ' _i to take raw numbers off the stack and convert them to 1 item CoSy lists . Eg:   s" Freedom is not free " 11 _cut  |>|  not free as opposed to   s" Freedom is not free " i( 0 11 )i cut ( Freedom is not free )

#PlanetaryTemperature Certainly the most  pervasive deep corruption which has set the stage for our current battle with seductive statist evil is  the AlGoreWarming anti-science anti-life at the molecular level criminal malfeasance that the building block of LIFE is evil . In the decades in which other branches of applied physics have gone from landline phones to Zoom on flat HD screen  there has been ZERO convergence on the calculation of the mean temperature of the planet . Because the effect of CO2 is to green not warm the planet . The physics fails at a classical highschool level . Thus there have never been been fundamental quantitative testable  enabling equations presented , nor experimental demonstration of a trapping of a temperature gradient by spectral filtering -- because the uniquely equationless paradigm is FALSE . Heartland Institute is holding its 14th  International Conference on Climate Change next April . My theme since I was honored to give a talk at ICCC9 is that ` AlGoreWarming fails physics an undergraduate if not highschool level . Since that talk which shows the quantitative absurdity that any spectral filtering phenomenon can explain  Venus's extreme bottom of atmosphere temperature ~ 400K greater than can be explained by the energy its orbit receives from the Sun , much less what , being the most reflective planet , it absorbs . Since then it has undeniable that the adiabatic pressure ( P = M * T ) gradient seen on all planets and continuing to their cores is the adiabatic , ie: constant total energy ,  tradeoff of gravitational , potential , energy ( which computes as a negative ) and kinetic , ie: heat . The spectral GHG paradigm denies this basic Newtonian physics , and thus even Conservation of Energy , and thus has never presented fundamental enabling equations or experimental demonstration of the spectral trapping of a temperature gradient . I aced highshool physics being fortunate to have experienced the excellent PSSC curriculum . Then I decided trying to figure out how brains work was more personally interesting and had less competition than trying to sort out the menagerie into which atoms split . But I ended up needing the math , and its implementable notation , APL , which is common to both what has now become the field of AI as well as quantum physics . ( So now my bathroom reading is John Macken : Only SpaceTime . ) The equations are now well enough understood , that while some 19th century derivations like the Stefan-Boltzman and Planck functions are upper level undergraduate , the application of the functions -- and Newton -- are distinctly no higher level than the stuff we learned , and experimentally demonstrated to ourselves , in the PSSC course 6 decades ago . Highschool physics students should be able to calculate the equilibrium temperature of a billiard ball under a sun lamp -- which is beyond the ken of all but a few journeyman climate scientists . Because the field is conducted like a branch of social science rather than the applied physics it fundamentally is . I want to propose that Heartland , because it will have together at its conference , at least a dais full of true credentialed physicists , work on establishing an indisputable non-optional core of experimentally testable relevant physics and a curriculum to teach it at the talented highschool level .  Quantitative Experiment trumps any politician . FB : Climate Change Battle Royale coment  John Swallow > Joanne Farrell Why should the future of the people who live in Kaktovik, AK be dictated by someone who has probably never even set foot in Alaska, Joanne Farrell, and lives in Rensselaer, New York? Bob Armstrong > John Swallow Absolutely ! One of Ron Paul's important notion is ` localism . If I were to propose a constitutional amendment it would be that people living in cities with over half a million pop couldn't have a damn thing to say about how rural people care for the environment which is their life to them . The urban feedlot herds , living on concrete , are incredibly ignorant about how their feed & water troughs stay filled and their stalls heat & cooled and lighted . Woke Colorado Springs office park Anybody who considers that scar of high maintainance , ergo: unsustainable , solar panel garden a good tradeoff with the bit of natural park between all the necessary asphalt violates my sense of ecological aesthetics .   Very Good : Top 10 Climate Change Lies Exposed Any HONEST rational person seeing these 3 graphs should immediately understand the global statist demonization of the building block of life is a Leninist useful idiocy And this isn't even considering their failure at essentially high school level physics
