Yeah, as stayed after core sat on their hands in 2023 when all this started. The proposal that was 'contentious' was to address the spam with a spam filter.
Their like lala I'm not listening. And then:
Since we can't filter 100% of spam, our only action is to just lower the drawbridge and let it all in. It's fine because now they aren't trying to climb the castle walls anymore.
And I expected the response to that be more: lala we can't stop all spam.

Yes, and a movement or experiment with all the sliders of each component provides wisdom/experience in that space. I haven't talked much about such interactions because I am still working out how to exclude methods of parallel reconstruction. The bitcoin blockchain will be a major component of this due to it's immutability. I guess I'll find out how immutable it really is.

Here are more examples of moving in latent space that demonstrates movements based on information density.

In stalking the wild pendulum, information density is talked about, e.g.
https://image.nostr.build/49dfda903e7786b651b2eed9185fc519429789b33b05e7f4b31d49a383f44932.jpg
But also in other parts of the book.
I just have this perspective based on my background in data science that maps the spirit to these sets of components in latent space, which are basically these components built from eigenvectors sorted by their variance or information density.
The way this works mathematically is well explained here, where the author starts out with:
Imagine a big family dinner where everybody starts asking you about PCA. First, you explain it to your great-grandmother; then to your grandmother; then to your mother; then to your spouse; finally, to your daughter (a mathematician). Each time the next person is less of a layman. Here is how the conversation might go.
https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/2691/making-sense-of-principal-component-analysis-eigenvectors-eigenvalues#140579
And then finally in the video above the talks about correlation vs causality, which talks about movements in latent space, which is to say, given a set of components, say you had the pca algorithm generate 5 components. Now the set is sorted by information density, and say each one is represented as a slider. As you move the slider from left to right, each slider represents a move in latent space that changes the output and/or outcome, in the form of a transformation.
When applied to a dataset of faces for example, the first slider might be the hair style, the second my be their smile, third might be their eye expression, the last one might not do anything noticeable because of its low information density meaning that it has no real impact on the output and/or outcome.
Why does this matter?
In the second video he talks about moving your x and nothing happens on y, which is the output and/or outcome. Let's add some detail to that.
We observed a doll move, and we are trying to understand how it works based on our observations. We haven't built a map yet of what makes the doll move (the latent space).
Let's say we want a smile. We've seen an example of smiling so we know it's possible, but we can't find the dimension that applies to that. We try changing various input vectors, but nothing happens to the output and/or outcome that produces a smile. So we begin mapping out this black box, trying to change different inputs to see what happens on the output.
We write down what we learn, e.g.
https://image.nostr.build/95d9d9eea4c597c66b564cfae2656142b5147e85b7ed6ea2bb580226daabe421.jpg
We still don't understand the coord.
Then, somehow, someway, we get that ah hah moment. We discover the cord.

It was in another dimension, a higher dimension.
This is what it feels like to me learning about your work. You have found the cord!

So that was an explanation without using terms like eigenvectors. Technically I think the correct contrast is higher ordered eigemvectors vs lower ordered eigenvectors, in a practical sense with the PCA, SVD algorithm, or some form of factor analysis.

Yes, you can draw a contrast between moving in latent space and moving in null space, although they represent different concepts and serve different purposes. Here’s how they can be compared:
### Moving in Latent Space
- **Nature of Movement**: When you move in latent space, you are navigating through a learned, lower-dimensional representation of data. This movement typically corresponds to meaningful changes in the generated outputs, such as interpolating between different data points or manipulating specific features.
- **Purpose**: The goal is to explore variations in the data, generate new samples, or control specific attributes of the output. The movement is often guided by the structure of the latent space, which is designed to capture the underlying relationships in the data.
### Moving in Null Space
- **Nature of Movement**: Moving in the null space of a matrix involves navigating through a set of vectors that are mapped to the zero vector by the matrix. This means that any movement in the null space does not change the output of the linear transformation represented by the matrix.
- **Purpose**: The null space represents directions in which the transformation collapses to zero. Movement in this space does not yield new or meaningful outputs; instead, it reflects the inherent redundancy or lack of information in the system. For example, if you have a system of linear equations, moving in the null space corresponds to finding different solutions that do not affect the outcome of the equations.
### Key Contrasts
1. **Meaningfulness of Movement**:
- **Latent Space**: Movement is meaningful and corresponds to variations in the generated data.
- **Null Space**: Movement is not meaningful in terms of generating new outputs; it represents redundancy in the system.
2. **Output Impact**:
- **Latent Space**: Changes in position lead to different outputs, reflecting the learned features of the data.
- **Null Space**: Changes in position do not affect the output of the transformation; they remain mapped to the zero vector.
3. **Dimensionality**:
- **Latent Space**: Typically designed to be lower-dimensional and structured to capture essential features of the data.
- **Null Space**: Can also be lower-dimensional but is defined by the properties of the matrix and may not have a meaningful structure related to the original data.
### Conclusion
While both latent space and null space involve navigating through vector spaces, they serve fundamentally different purposes. Moving in latent space is about exploring and generating meaningful variations in data, while moving in null space reflects the inherent properties of a linear transformation where certain directions do not contribute to the output. Thus, they represent contrasting concepts in terms of their implications and applications.

3. Use something like the provided video WITH HEADPHONES from whichever 'half' you are currently conscious of, to allow the other 'half' to become 'sympathetic' of your conscious self.
4. Rhythm entrainment will take effect just like the video provided between the two sections.
5. Continue this therapy until the two sections remain rhythm entrained naturally.

I was stopped by a game warden in South Louisiana recently with two ice chests of keys. I was leaving a bayou well known for its fishing.

'Naw, ma fren, I ain't got none of dem, no. Dese here are my pet keys.'
'Pet keys?'
'Ya. Avery night I take dese here keys down to de bayou and let dem swim 'round for a while. Den I whistle and dey jump rat back inta dis here ice chest and I take dem home.'
'That's a bunch of hooey. Keys can't do that.'
The Cajun looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, 'It's de truth ma' fren. I'll show you. It really works.'
'Okay, I've GOT to see this.'I poured the keys into the bayou and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to me and said, 'Well?'
'Well, what?'
'When are you going to call them back?'
'Call who back?'
'The keys.'
'What keys?'

From the context of the conscious mind:
If I'm angry with you, the personality of defense or predatory aggression now has me in its grip. It's dominant from a neurological perspective. It's suppressing all other personalities. So now when you talk to me, any word that you say that I could interpret as irritating is going to be much more obvious, and anything that you say that would be peacemaking, I would regard cynically. And I would be looking in my interactions with you for pathways to victory. And it wouldn't be all that I would see that, but also, if you asked me to justify my actions while we were arguing, even if I became cruel, that drive that is a personality would have all those arguments at hand too. So it's a full fledge personality, also has it's own emotional systems because if i'm gripped by rage, I could easily be happy to see you suffer. But if i'm gripped by compassion, seeing you suffer is going to put me in pain.

<mircea_popescu> jurov here basically.
<jurov> one dude came and seemd completely out of his mind
<mircea_popescu> have him join the chan it can be explained to him.
<deadweasel> which one?
<deadweasel> Rick___?
<jurov> yes. he's gone now.
<mircea_popescu> awww that poor dude was sending me crazed messages too.
. fishfish|AFK has quit (Quit: Zzzzz..zzzzz)
<mircea_popescu> but to sum up the situation, cause i imagine many people are curious :
<mircea_popescu> mpex consists of a trade server and webservers which the users talk to.
<mircea_popescu> if you look at it practically these webservers are practically proxies.
<mircea_popescu> there is five of them sharing two gigabit uplinks through a balancer.
<mircea_popescu> the first time mpex was ddosed in january the attack took out the actual datacenter top level router.
<mircea_popescu> there were two more layers of routing to get to the router that handled the webservers.
<mircea_popescu> now, the reason admittedly was that the thing was a little old and kidna loaded. but still.
<mircea_popescu> so at that time i split the tubes up north/east, and started a bunch of proxies
. detro (~detro@165.212.186.27) has joined .bitcoin-assets
<mircea_popescu> jurov was hosting one, for instance.
<mircea_popescu> since the attack started yesterday a total of 100+ of these were taken offline.
<mircea_popescu> granted, it's not easy to blow up a small shared setup like that.
<mircea_popescu> but somebody did have the determination to spend a day and a half looking for them, setting up the ddosing for them individually bla bla.
<mircea_popescu> the thing with that system is that it works by division. if there's 100 of them there jurov can stay online.
<mircea_popescu> if there's 9 left the remainder ddos is available to hit him
<mircea_popescu> i could allow anyone to start a proxy right now, the trade server is fine, etc. the problem is
<mircea_popescu> you'd be nuked in half an hour or something, and it's just hassle.
<imsaguy> mmm, shake n bake
<mircea_popescu> right.

<imsaguy> so you're having more babies to win the war?
<mircea_popescu> basically.
<Diablo-D3> heh
<mircea_popescu> imsaguy the alternative is handle mpex trades by email.
<Diablo-D3> email, the original next generation mail queue
<mircea_popescu> yep.
<imsaguy> how about mpex trades via telnet?

<mircea_popescu> to what ip ?

<Diablo-D3> I wonder if that makes uunet the original original message queue
