Atomic Spectra, Solar Spectra and Life on Earth

RECOMMEND ADMINISTRATIVE LONG-TERM STUDY

It is my recommendation that studies be encouraged regarding the nature, logic, modes and energies of wild primitive logic, from the very earliest appearance of quadrature in this star system along the secular evolutionary world-line of life and its relation to human civilization. I know your time is busy.

PERIOD OF STUDY

The following is a result of over twenty years of consciously observing, in the social context, the implications of many of these terms by this author. To the best of this person's knowledge, all these factors are discernable and can be observed by other persons as well though they will be perceived in an individual order.

MY FEAR

My fear is that identifiable raw primordial factors, that affect the actions of the human species, slowly emerge in the world continually, including in and around the United States. These dangers must become the subject of concern in the government. I think the United States is slowly and repeatedly being quartered.

QUARTERING BEYOND MY OWN SELF INTEREST

This is not merely my own quartering in my blessedly safe public housing apartment.

DEEP HOT STUFF

This is fairly deep in the legislative mass. This author does not know of specific, substantial events that could be reported as human activity. Instead, what he finds is what natural history unveils in Atomic Energy spectra in contrast with the Sun's spectrum.

THE AUTHOR IS ON YOUR SIDE

Submitting what information one has is a claim to be a friend, not a foe, but of course my correspondent can remain unconvinced, deeming it insignificant. In this theater the source of aggressive competition does not pay much - fleas and roaches, disease and dog bites are the only terms. Those only prove primitive competition can bite. Terms in the evolutionary time scale can be revealed as news by atomic spectra which appear in the light of the distinctly colored newspaper of the Sun's Fraunhofer spectrum.

TIME AND ENERGY: ATOMIC ENERGY LEVELS AND SOLAR SPECTRA

The factors described here are difficult to see and it requires time to understand them if one does not already. They are slow to be perceived, because they appear in energy spectra ("Atomic Energy Levels" by Charlotte Moore, United States Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, NSRDS-NBS 35, LOC 75-609945) which the author has studies since around 1982. NBS now has excellent and better spectra on the NIST web site at http://www.nist.gov/srd/nsrds.htm .

COMPARISON OF ENERGY LEVELS WITH SUN'S SPECTRUM

These terms are studied in comparison with, or relative to, the solar absorption spectrum known as the Fraunhofer Spectrum. That spectrum is better observed now, See Gibson's "The Quiet Sun" by NASA. A recent, far better spectrum by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), is at http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap000815.html

GEOLOGICAL TIME SCALE AND ENERGY-TIME CONJUGACY

Evolution since a billion years ago proceeded under these elements and in these energy spectra. Energy in particular, because quantum mechanics correctly (meaning very accurately, everywhere, every time) describes how energy is conjugate with time. The appearance of primitive, even primordial competition and aggression can be observed in these terms.

ORGANIC ELEMENT SPECTRA

Simply use the organic elements Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Calcium and several others - now silicon - to follow activity on Earth. Particularly C1 and C2, N1 and N2, O1 and O2. All can be followed up to high potential bonding in organisms, and oxygen can be followed up to O6 in ice.

LEGISLATIVE DEPTH; RECOMMEND ASSISTANT DIGEST DOCUMENT The result is fairly deep in the legislative mass and somewhat alarming. Its preliminary reading should be given to an assistant, who knows the needs of your organization best. In addition your assistant's digest will be is more competent than this rambling, scattered writer's composition.

PERSISTENCE OF POGROMS IN HISTORY Pogroms appear too persistently in history to ignore similarities between the 1917 Communist revolution in Russia, the 1927 emergence of the Nazi regime in Germany and the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia.

PRIMORDIAL COMPETITION SLOWLY EMERGING

The most conservative interpretation this citizen has is that primordial competition of the kind described below is emerging in South and Central America and that it is likely to break out in those places before it appears in the United States.

UNITED STATES NOT IMMUNE

However, the United States is not immune. It exists in land which is the sparse human inhabitants were quickly suppressed, but the issue which seems to underlie pogroms of the kind described emerge, not from human issues alone, but from the native issues -- the plant and animal wildlife which underlie the human species. War on plants and animals, such as clear cutting (such as the Clearing of the Highlands in the British Isles) and decimation of the bison and control of populations of many other species, is not enough to prevent raw competition from merging with the human population. The prevalence of animal totems suggests one path. Lions, elks, moose, panthers, beavers, wildcats, alligators and many other large animals include carnivorous, exceedingly ancient and primitive predators.

ABSORPTION OF TERMS OF PRIMITIVE COMPETITION

These competitive instincts are absorbed in scholastic, financial, corporate, military and other competition. Primitive competition is sophisticated enough to be highly valued in corporate headquarters, for only one example. By now, logic from primordial competition can be found in computer software and in aggressive, autonomous robot killing machines with a very long lead time into the future.

SAVAGE NAMES

Military system and civilian vehicle names include many derived from the peoples still referred to in the U.S. Declaration of Independence as "merciless Indian savages" - names and totems and animals such as Apache, Cherokee, Navaho, Eagle, Barracuda and Stingray.

SIMILARITIES IN GERMANY AND CAMBODIA

The similarity with what emerged in Germany is only because European civilization arose from the Roman Empire. That is why the United States is seeing the emergence of potentials that resemble BOTH Germany and Cambodia. If the United States had been settled by Chinese, for instance, or Russians, then primordial aggression and primordial competition would be emerging in the avenues, arteries, and veins of those cultures. If the United States had remained sparsely settled, more, but smaller pogroms would have occurred, as the small tribes eliminated their weak and offensive.

DIVIDE AND QUARTER

As for those who are targeted, the usual dichotomy and quartering of nature holds:

The weak are counted as among those less likely to be protected at extremes. By itself, that is not a condemnation, but life is hard.

The offensive and weak are more heavily condemned, perhaps imprisoned, beaten, or worse.

The strange and peculiar are viewed with alarm, and thus enjoy less food and worse shelter, or worse, segregated.

Those who are actually evil according to the mores and laws of the day, are at least identified, perhaps punished, perhaps worse.

MODERN UNDESIRABLES

Many categories can be identified in modern human societies as well. Religious convictions cause punishments to be inflicted on some. Marriage laws are peculiar and harsh in some places. The insane are more heavily discriminated in certain countries, less so in others. In Arab countries life was so harsh that thieves lose their hands. In the United States, several different kinds of offenders have been distinctly identified -- child and woman molesters, drug addicts, Jews, gays, atheists, communists, etc.

APPEARANCES IN TODAY'S MEDIA

It is possible already to see the general quarter in which those are all being loosely and informally classified, but which as yet is unlabeled. Among the left can be found informal groups which spill the beans readily, for instance at the "Zombie Survival and Defense Wiki" ( http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/ ) which is extremely bizarre. The offending groups or classes are merely loosely described as "zombies", which is perhaps in the predictive tense as in "That rat's already a dead man" or the movie "Dead Man Walking" (under the sea). It is an approach by the aggressive which denies the temporal order of their target, and so labels the target in advance with their goal, its death. The Goths are a similar cult. Both are not themselves the primordial cause of the increase in primitive potentials for violence: that comes from the entire base of the biosphere.

THE ARAB OCEAN

It was notable that when the United States invaded Iraq, the Arab concept of the ocean was unleashed downstream from the American people; for a few moments it seemed there was ocean all around, but it soon passed and is now merely a humidity.

AGGRESSIVE HUMAN ACTIVITY MAY OR MAY NOT BE PRECEDENT

Again, those who are actively aggressive now may, OR MAY NOT, invoke and employ ancient primordial animal instincts. At the same time, living plant and animal instincts of the world are ongoing activity, and comprise a current of evolutionary competition which tries to emerge in any creature which takes up competitive instincts wherever it can find them. But these are when times are good.

ANTIQUITY OF POGROMS

Pogroms have been a plague of evil since human civilization began, and a secular, not religious scenario exists. They are notorious in the history of Central America, existed in the United States Southwest, and took place in many other places in the world. It is a fair bet the occurred in biblical antiquity and the ancient Middle East as there are several descriptions in the Bible. At first I thought the descriptions in Numbers, Judges, Kings and other books in the King James Bible, as well as in secular history such as Caesar's Commentaries, were perhaps fables or exaggeration... Now they do not appear to be.

SOPHISTICATION OF PRIMITIVE NONHUMAN COMPETITION

Raw primitive competition lies at every interaction between living organisms in nature. The competition emerges, arising wherever it finds any of several kinds of places in the world above it. One of these is aggression, as in armed conflict already existing. Another is abstracted competition as in economics. Race is a frequent causa bella. Competition in nature is refined, sophisticated beyond average belief. Wild predators have been bred by their relationships to prey on herds with specific attack strategies including encouraging, negotiating with the herd to persuade it to winnow out a weak, young, old, sick or other straggler. Wild competition is one on one, eat or be eaten, and ranges from the molecular competition of virus and cell to giant claws and fangs; traps, surprise, stealth, pursuit, poison, toxin, venom, explosives, electrocution, deliberate infection, webs, glues and adhesives, and the treachery of laying eggs in still living victims.

FUNDAMENTAL COMPETITION IN NATURE CLEAN AND DIRTY

Those are the kinds of instincts that in wild nature exist even in healthy clean forests. When they are under shabby floorboards or dark and spider infested lightless basements, there danger exists of which the nation should be informed. The author found himself in such conditions for a time, before taking refuge with Seattle Housing Authority, and is composing this in an SHA apartment where he has lived over fourteen years.

WILD COMPETITION NEGOTIATES BOTH WIN-WIN AND ZERO SUM TERMS

Wild predatory competition also seeks such negotiations in the roots underlying human relationships with instinct, especially instinct imported from other lands in which wildlife and habitat consist of species distinct from the native wildlife in the United States. Freshly imported instinct does not engender quickly, and as a result its ancient instincts for peace, which certainly exist alongside ancient instincts of predation, do not become strong. But predation is fast. This factor is not surprising even in Cambodia, where the outbreak of pogrom was in a land that was inhabited since ancient times by all the populations involved in the transgression -- both victims and victors alike.

HUMAN GROUPS BOTH DRAW UPON, AND ARE IMPELLED BY, WILD INSTINCTS

These compel human groups most aggressively determined to survive and thrive to dominate in order to be secure. Thus, human groups wield competition drawn from wild natural competition and predation. That predation, of carnivore upon herds or groups most often of herbivores, is more primitive but it communicates to the fleeing herd several messages that were destined to lead the herd to an abstract competition for supremacy within itself. Thus, herds accept the relentless logic of tolerating some predation because the predator relents when the herd casts out a weakling. Predators accept the idea that they depend on the herd, and so predator reproduction is stiffly limited by the severity of competition for mates.

FLEEING ALSO THE UNDESIRABLE

Animals fleeing in a herd usually ran fast enough to cause the weak, young, sick and old to be left behind, and these became the more usual prey animals for predatory carnivores. It was not lost upon the stronger that the slower had been taken. They lived because they drew on everything they had, including instincts that were more than merely those which they had learned in their own lives. Instincts became attuned transcendent, and organisms flee or fight with instincts that span many generations - far longer than the lifetime of the individual organism itself.

ANCIENT INSTINCT TO SACRIFICE OR ABANDON WEAK A HUMAN POTENTIAL

For human beings, danger arises when the human population realizes even faintly that it can profit by rejecting the weak, sick and old early in the chase. It became instinct to do that, through millions of years of adaptation. Adaptation took place forever among many different fields of interest and many different species and types of competition all through the time and places when organisms existed. In the aftermath of war are remembered (Schindler's List), benevolent self-sacrificing actions by heroes to save as many as possible of the rejected, afflicted, condemned and targeted.

PREPARATION IS EXTENSIVE AND SECRET; OUTBREAK IS SUDDEN AND VIOLENT

But in the initial phases of a war, which Sun-Tsu calls "The gradual opening of deceit" or "All war is based on deceit" the deceit is extensive, and violence does not emerge until many secret premises are set. The emergence of violence is rapid and overwhelming and few have the resources to understand and take action. That was extremely obvious in Germany's sudden actions. The Cambodian story is not well enough understood yet by the American people, although Public Broadcasting, PBS, had one good show on it as observed in retrospect by survivors.

QUARTERING AND MORE QUARTERING; QUARTERING CUBED

Almost anything of value in nature eventually quarters the organisms that use or participate in it, until it resolves the better and worse, and the living and the dead. This is certain to have occurred with the predation by carnivores upon herds, and it is certain to have occurred within herds. They had only to resolve the difference between living and dying, and strong and weak, to prefer a course which rejected the weak. As a rule they were tolerated when no predation was about, but the weak were last to get food and water, and the last to mate or the first to become effectively sterile and sexually incompetent. Herd animals are familiar with each other and they compete amongst themselves so that the herd knows which among it are leaders, which are strong followers, and which are weak and best to cast out to danger.

PRIMORDIAL ORIGIN OF QUARTERING

THE BARYCENTRIC STAR SYSTEM

The imbalance arises mainly from Jupiter, which causes the gravitational center of mass of the solar system to be outside the surface of the Sun. In other words, the Earth's orbit is not exactly centered on the Sun, even taking its elliptical shape into consideration. The Earth orbits wherever the balance is between Jupiter and the Sun, and it is never inside the visible surface of the Sun. Jupiter, the most massive accretion in the early stages of formation of the planets, must have begun forming earlier, and the quadrupole moment caused Jupiter to have four distinctly largest moons. Not only that - the quadrupole moment is so important in physics that it caused the entire Solar System to have four distinctly largest planets. Jupiter's vast mass separated the barycenter from the Sun early in the formation of the system, and once that was distinct from the Sun, four distinctly largest planets were inevitable.

TETRAPODS AND QUADRUPEDS

Four became an important number in the evolution of life on this planet in the solar system because of the quadrupole moment of this particular star system. Tetrapods are the four-limbed creatures that dominate the planet, and that includes human and a few other beings that stand on, fly or swim with two of them. Quadrupeds, including human beings on all fours, do not necessarily know of the barycenter of the solar system, but it causes the integer IV, 4, four to be an important factor in evolution. Just so, four distinctly largest extensions of the forms of metazoan creatures was inevitable.

HUMAN SOCIETY UNDERLAIN BY COMPETITION, NOT CHAOS

Human society is underlain by these same instincts. The gradual quartering of any flourishing, prosperous civilization is inevitable. Whether human beings can attain a durable, stable pattern of dealing with this is not known. It has not been controlled, stabilized or defeated yet.
