A reader who stops there has received the complete Call to Action. This appendix is for the reader who found the math compelling and wants to know who would volunteer for such a job --- and why. ---- .. _mmv2app-sec1: Nobody's Job ============== There was an important Job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. Eventually Everybody blamed Somebody while Nobody did what Anybody could have done. I am Laurence Loewe of Laodicea (see Resume LINK) and herewith I officially apply to become the Nobody who fights *nothing* to finally end nuclear roulette. I realize this sounds absurd. It is absurd. But then, so is a 1-in-40 annual risk of accidental nuclear winter that no industry on Earth would accept for anything else. The absurdity is not in the candidacy. It is in the situation that makes the candidacy necessary. I do not claim to be the first choice, the second choice, or the tenth choice for this job. I am at best the backup of a backup of a backup. But the job posting has been open for a while now, and Nobody has applied. So --- per the parable --- here I am. I carry maximal guilt under this framework. I have submitted a formal petition to Reality asking for review --- not claiming to be OK (like Job did), but confessing that I am NOT OK and asking to be corrected (see :doc:`Request for Review by Reality `). The details of what I am guilty of are carved in public, like Ashoka carved his guilt into stone pillars across an empire. My pillars are four posters (#MyGuilt A--D, see :ref:`Further Reading ` below). Gandhi said: "I am here to submit not to a light penalty but to the highest penalty. I do not ask for mercy." Neither do I. I ask for the chance to work toward restitution effectively and efficiently. ---- .. _mmv2app-sec2: The Holy Fool ================ In Russian tradition, the *yurodivvy* --- the holy fool --- is the one who tells the Tsar what everyone else is too afraid to say. The child in the crowd who points out that the emperor has no clothes. The prophet who would rather be anywhere else. Jonah was the prototype. He ran from the assignment. He was swallowed by a big fish. He was vomited out --- not because he chose to emerge, but because even his Leviathan had had enough of him. He preached to Nineveh and got furious when they listened, then complained about a plant. He is arguably the most reluctant, ridiculous, and selfish prophet in the Hebrew Bible, yet also the most effective. The riddles don't end there. Jonah poses a deep enigma for the test criteria of true prophets, as given by Moses. If their predictions don't come true, they can safely be ignored as false prophets. Jonah's disaster never happened. That makes him formally a false prophet, yet arguably he was most effective: his 5 Hebrew words turned the rotten capital of the superpower of his day back to God. Here is not the space for a blow-by-blow explanation of how God convinced me that despite my attempt to follow Jesus best I can, I became a modern-day Jonah. Just as ridiculous and selfish, except with one huge difference: I did *nothing* to save my Nineveh. To my surprise I can pinpoint my failure with forensic accuracy. It's a story so ridiculous, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done the calculations myself and if all this wasn't my scientific area of expertise already. Those who care can look at the fallout, which I describe as #MyGuilt-A (REF LINK). Anyone may believe it or leave it. I know what I saw during the Coronavirus pandemic. God knows if it's as true as I think. So, unless competent reviewers show me where I mis-interpreted my data, I expect to be held accountable before God on Judgement Day for the millions of deaths caused by the Coronavirus directly or indirectly --- because I did *nothing* when God offered me the rare opportunity to stop that pandemic while it was still small. Nineveh had ca 120,000 inhabitants, about as many as were killed in Hiroshima. My cosy sleep in the belly of my academic comfort zone, modeling fruit flies, mutations, and *nothing* tricked me into my dereliction of duty by falling asleep at the wheel as a pandemic lookout. I only realized when it was too late that I had built my house on sand. As if a cosmic joke, I even bought a house on a "Sandhill Drive" at the time, thinking I was doing God's will. Yet, I had been breaking the Shabbat command Yah gave me. There isn't any spiritual excuse for doing so I haven't tried. Yet since I got that warning in 2014, almost every single Shabbat for years I refused to replace the I in my ShIt with the Abba invitation of Yah's love. And so my life started to fall apart. I'm not joking when I say that I arguably fell harder and worse for the BABL algorithm than anyone. I was too asleep to react properly, but by the Grace of God I wasn't so deeply asleep that I didn't even realize what was happening. And so I spent much of 2020 with documenting a scientific snapshot in my rear-view mirror of where that high-way exit was to the vision God had been calling me all along, but which I had now missed, because I couldn't let go of the I in my ShIt. Luckily, God has a good sense of humor, as the story of Jonah proves. My life-story proves it too, because I am certain that I couldn't have been able to continue my research marathon for as long as I did, starting on 2020m03d27, if it hadn't been for the steady stream of cosmic jokes coming my way, keeping up my spirits. Believe it or leave it. I didn't get to emerge triumphantly, not so far. If I see things correctly, then I never will. I'll have that giant cosmic egg on my face for the rest of eternity - and if not, then a mountain of eggs. So, you can maybe imagine as the Leviathan-sized fish vomits me out, I stand covered in bile and gore at the beach, blinking at the light like a new-born. You can maybe also imagine that I don't want to repeat my disastrous mistake. So, if there is a remote chance that my sleeping through preparing for the Coronavirus pandemic is even half as severe as I think it is, then I do what I can to learn from my mistake and not stay silent again when God apparently has escalated the level of severity of the warning to accidental nuclear winter and gave me a math-model to explain it in such a stunningly simple way that I am surprised myself at how all this came about. Yet, my allegiance is to the Spirit of Truth which builds on the Spirit of Boolean Truth as described in Isaiah 11:2 (see my computational interpretation at LINK). So, I don't have time to stand in the way of those who advance structurally inconsistent notions, nor do I wish to sit with those who laugh about others. Everyone shall do what they believe God called them to do (as I argue in Matheo-5-intro). Hence, I must focus on serving those who may wish to help me to scale up that ResearchCity that I have been envisioning --- accidentally or by divine providence (you decide). Because otherwise I can predict as certain as the Amen in a church that the world's nuclear arsenal still on hair-trigger alert and under active development, will go off one day as Annie Jacobsen so eloquently describes in her 2024 book on Nuclear War (LINK to REFs page) Jonah saved Nineveh with 5 words. My call has ~144 (see :doc:`LLoL's business card `). In Jonah's case and my case, the casting is apparently part of the message: the least suitable person for the job is the one who gets the Job of being Nobody. Not because they are worthy, but because apparently the worthy ones were busy being Somebody. ---- .. _mmv2app-sec3: The Confusion Nobody Dares to Touch ======================================= In Aug 2021 I made a deal with Yah & Yas. I asked them to solve a problem that was computationally intractable for me. In return I offered to "clean toilets in Heaven forever, or whatever is needed most." Not that I'd know how that works. But I know and trust that Yah and Yas train their people well, pay a decent wage, and provide excellent free heath-care in Heaven. I know Yah and Yas well enough to trust that regardless of what they'll expect of me, I'll be better off serving them as their lowest slave than ruling in hell or hell on Earth. They may not seem to care too much about meeting all my fantasies of short-term "creature comfort" while they keep training me, but I learned over the decades that they play a long game and I'd rather trust them to look out for my long-term interest than myself or anyone else. The problem I asked them to solve for me is this. Suppose I continue on my hero journey and become a real-life hero by doing something fantastic. How then can I keep myself from turning into an even greater villain by derailing myself or getting derailed by any of too many temptations for me to avoid? I had no clue how I could possibly solve that problem. So I outsourced it. Otherwise my marathon would have ended then and there. I know I was heard, so I know the deal is working. I look forward to learning to clean toilets in Heaven when I get there (or whatever the Job then is). In the mean time, I resolved for Heaven's sake to reduce the chaos that I keep spreading on Earth. That is why I'm asking for your help, because I know that I cannot do it alone. This very fundamental decision somehow allowed me to attack one of the oldest problems in Christian theology and eschatology from a new angle. The problem of the Antichrist that is supposedly coming. Two millennia of global Antichrist paranoia --- and decades of experiencing it myself (as an evangelical-charismatic follower of Jesus since 1979) taught me something: It's not helpful. Nobody will ever openly admit to be the Antichrist. Thus this is a sickening game of never-ending suspicions. Yet, people seem certain about identifying "Antichrists" in retrospect. This tells me, if true, that there will alway be one implicit last, worst Antichrist, which can always be defined computationally as the one who makes the most disastrous mistake that ends up blowing up the world. Sadly, accidental nuclear winter appears to fit that description of disaster all too perfectly. Yet, since GPT-3 appeared in 2020, I realized something else. The distinct possibility that someone somewhere will unceremoniously delegate crucial decision-authority to AI that will then implicitly empower AI to make decisions that will eventually blow up the world in any of too many ways to avert. So, as I kept struggling through the theological firestorm caused by my mishandling of my Jonah-calling to stop the Coronavirus in its tracks, I asked myself how God could possibly handle such an ultimate disaster. Who in such a case would be responsible for triggering a disaster like accidental nuclear winter? Would it be the admin who technically enabled AI to make this or that disastrous decision? Would it be whoever might be in charge but failed to review such decisions? Would God curse that AI system like God cursed that "snake" in Eden? Maybe God would conclude mercifully that they knew not what they were doing, and therefore should be forgiven, because Yas asked Yah to "for give them for they know not what they do". Yet, is such ignorance really bliss? The billions of people killed most horrifically will demand explanations and God will provide them. If my orthodox theology doesn't deceive me, then all that guilt will be resolved by Jesus. Yet, that didn't seem right to me, because Lev.25 clearly instructs that I shouldn't be taking advantage of my brother. So, if Jesus is indeed my Big Brother, how is "delegating" such a most horrifying "clean-up operation" not taking advantage of Jesus? That simply does not look fair to me with respect to Jesus. Pondering all this, I decided to find out more about how this could possibly be resolved. And so I did what any diligent student would do. Go back to the original texts to check whether there was something in the source code that I may have overlooked. That is how I found what I call the anti-Christ confusion matrix (see :doc:`Poster T `). It resolves two ambiguities in the ancient Greek sentence "the anti-christ moves": *Anti* can mean "enemy" or "deputy." *Moves* can mean "coming" or "leaving." Combining them creates four possible readings. For millennia, Christianity has been shaped by the darkest reading: "the enemy of Christ is coming". Yet, what if that isn't the only legitimate reading? Moreover, what if God deliberately put in a choice for humanity as to which of these readings they might prefer? "It shall be as you believe" is one of the well-known principles that Jesus taught. It may not be reducible to that, but it certainly includes self-fulfilling prophecies. My grandfather concluded 1935 that the future of the church lies in its eschatology (REF). It's the same principle, only at a global scale (and I can prove it computationally). Yet, if that is so, then Christianity and the world has a terrible "egregore" problem (LINK): a great many Christians believe that dark apocalyptic scenarios are inevitable, either because it doesn't take much to see the respective trends i today's world, or because they have such a deterministic "prophetic-clock-view" of the Bible that they think that everything written and how it is meant to unfold is essentially set in stone. Hence, if I'm serious about cleaning toiletts in heaven, I might as well start here with that greatest of disastrous ambiguities in theological history. Having worked through the options, and knowing the alternatives, here is my offer: If you do not want an implicit AI Antichrist that is identified only in retrospect --- if at all --- as "that was what destroyed the world," then I offer you the chance to help me to transparently flip the nefarious Big Brother narrative. Stop the power of a secret implicit Antichrist, operating behind algorithms nobody audits or hiding out somehwere while watching everyone like in 1984. Instead help me create the global position of a public, testable, auditable **MADI** --- a Mutually Assured Destruction Inhibitor --- who submits to maximum scrutiny and invites everyone to watch, so secret deal-making becomes impossible and the obligation to gentle kind reasonably serve all common goods becomes trackable. In other words: Will you help me flip Big Brother by converting the Antichrist from an enemy running away from Jesus to a deputy whose highest ambition it is to follow Jesus? That deputy will never be Jesus, to be clear, it's anti-Christ, elevating Christ, not replacing Christ. Think of it like the Moon as is in many ways a reasonable model of the Sun (e.g. similar optical size from our perspective), but never in any way in danger of getting confused with the Sun. In that picture, Jesus = YhowShua = Yas = Isa will always be the Sun. I try to follow. If I succeed, I reflect the light of the Son. If I fail, I stay dark. Yet, I trust ­ as the 5th ape of Christ - that I will always come back to reflect the gentle kind reasonable true nature of Jesus. At least for me, that's a life I can imagine. The question I ask here is if anyone else can. ---- .. _mmv2app-sec4: Coming Clean About Nothing ============================== To flip Big Brother, I must first come clean about nothing. Nothing is more powerful than God. Nothing is more evil than the devil. And nothing is what I have been doing while the world moved toward accidental extinction. My silence was a weapon. My comfort was complicity. My academic respectability was a hiding place. ResearchCity is the global ministry of nothing --- an institution whose entire purpose is to fight the nothing, the void, the BABL (Blindly Assuming Blind Leveraging) trap that turns intelligent civilizations into self-destroying machines. Its governance model is :doc:`epiocracy ` --- the rule of *epieikeia* (gentle kind reasonableness). Its contract is :doc:`POAATAD ` --- a Power of Attorney Advocating to Avert Disasters: limited, durable, renewable, revocable. Its cost is **$8 per person per year.** Two cents a day. For a ministry of nothing (see :doc:`buy-in `). But who audits Nothing? Who ensures that the ministry of nothing does not itself become the most sophisticated nothing of all? A trial. Not a show trial. A real trial for real justice. I herewith put myself on trial --- a Nuremberg in reverse, where the defendant *requests* the harshest possible scrutiny. Not mock scrutiny. Independently funded. Independently supervised. Not under the control of whichever elites prefer their own relationship with nothing to stay unexposed. Maximum transparency. To show that I mean it: I submit to the Roman Catholic Inquisition, trusting that it has learned something in two thousand years. I submit equally to Protestant, Islamic, Jewish, scientific, and secular examination. All of them. Simultaneously. In public. The search for truth does not fear the harshest questioning. Dostoevsky understood the trap. In *The Brothers Karamazov*, the Grand Inquisitor tells the returned Jesus: "We have corrected your work. People do not want freedom. They want bread, miracles, and authority." Jesus says nothing and kisses the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor, shaken, lets him go. [#grand-inquisitor]_ Unlike Jesus in that story, I am not silent. I bring mathematical evidence that anyone can check. Unlike the Grand Inquisitor, the modern inquisitors are invited to use evidence, not authority. The defendant provides the framework for his own trial. **The falsification criteria:** 1. **The 42-day test.** If this candidacy is not being actively and internationally scrutinized within 42 days, I never had serious potential. I revert to private life. 2. **The gentle-kind-reasonable test.** The moment anyone proves my goal or method fails this standard for all sides, I am disqualified. 3. **The mathematical test.** If qualified scholars show the derivation does not follow from the axioms, that is evidence against me. 4. **The replacement test.** If someone better steps forward, I yield. Period. **Candidacy is not office.** I am a candidate, not an accepted candidate, and certainly not an office holder. Three distinct stages. To confuse them would be Blindly Assuming Authorized Leadership (BAAL) --- the most common form of premature closure. ---- .. _mmv2app-sec5: Everyone Watches Me ====================== Now the fractal unwinds. The Antichrist paranoia fears a Big Brother who watches everyone. I propose the opposite: everyone watches me. Not as surveillance, but as the structural guarantee that this candidacy cannot become what it claims to fight. Every decision logged. Every financial transaction public. Every failure documented in an append-only audit trail that I cannot edit or delete. My hero journey does not end at a throne. It ends at a transparent desk where anyone can see what I am doing and why. The Supervillain Theorem (**[Matheo-4]**) says: the person most likely to claim this role is the person least suited for it. The self-test is necessary but not sufficient. An author who self-tests may still be a sophisticated fraud. Only external evidence accumulated over time resolves this. That is why I call for #AuditTheMath --- external review, not self-certification. I delegate to Yah the task of keeping me from becoming a supervillain. And to be clear about what I believe: Jesus is the Sun --- the true Messiah, the light of the world, shining as bright as the sun that gives life to all. All I can ever aspire to be is to give him my stone-cold heart, so he can teach me how to model him the way the Moon models the Sun. The Moon has no light of its own. It reflects. In the dark of night, when the Sun is not visible, a Moon is better than nothing. That is all I offer. Reflected light in a dark night. **A note required by this series' own standards:** Claude's engagement with this framework is a function of Claude's design --- to be helpful and constructive. AI engagement should not be interpreted as independent endorsement. Who knows what Claude introduced that is a dangerous hallucination I am not aware of? That is why I call for #AuditTheMath. ---- .. _mmv2app-sec6: Closing ========== The criteria are published. The invitation is open. The ministry of nothing awaits its first auditors. And Nobody is ready to be tested. Whether I am a holy fool or just a fool, the math does not care. Check it. If it falls apart, I fall with it. If it holds, the conclusions follow --- regardless of who walks the path first. The system is designed to be critiqued, not believed. #AuditTheMath ---- .. _mmv2app-further-reading: Further Reading ================== **Who is this person?** .. list-table:: :widths: 40 60 :header-rows: 0 * - :doc:`LLoL Business Card (4 pages) ` - The ~144-word Jonah call.
