Abstract

This dense 1-page infographic, labeled “page 6 of 9” in the “Expanding the Conspiracy Theory” series, presents LLoL’s Jonah Hypothesis (JH) stress test — an attempt to connect dots between past and present for “Functional Futures.” The document asks: Did Jesus deduce Moses’ Strategy by Deexcerpting the Promised Land’s 7Tribes Names?

The central argument proceeds in three stages:

1. 7Tribes as societal roles. If nomen est omen, the names of the 7 tribes in the Promised Land hint at a brittle class-walled society collapsing via ISMR (InSelfMagnifyingRuining). Each tribe maps to a functional role: AMOrite = TopSpeaker/PowerElite, HITtite = FearHandler/RiskReducer, CANaanite = ProfitTrader/Distributor, PHErezite = OpenDecider/PureExpert, JEBusite = Stampeder/MassMarket, HIVite = RotatingTentVillager/TempRotator, GIRgashite = CrushedDust/IgnoredOthered. Plus HEBrew = Beyonder/AnyRoleWalker and ISRael = RealityWrestler/AllRolesRefiner.

2. Ergodic flip to 7ChangeStages (7Churches). Jesus came to “debug and restart” the OLT (Over the Long Term) innovation economy. The 7 Churches in Revelation 2–3 map to 7 innovation adoption stages: EPHesus = Innovate, SMYrna = TestEndure, PERgamon = ScaleUpRise, THYatira = RefineCore, SARdis = MassMarket, PHIladelphia = BuildNiche, LAOdicea = GenericGrind. Each also maps to a Beatitude from Matthew 5:3–12.

3. The WALDO framework. “How WALDO works for Z.I.O.N. or B.A.B.L. worldwide” — a 16-spoke search wheel showing how wid-e searches across languages, violence, trades, specialists, mass markets, trends, oblivion, and reality-wrestling connect to stories, sciences, management, nothing, theology, arts, semiotics, and simulacra.

The document also maps the 3 ancient idolatry patterns to modern failure modes: BAal = OverComplicate, ASHera = OverSimplify, MOLoch = OverReach — collectively “bashmol-ing.”

Key Concepts at a Glance

Jonah Hypothesis (JH)	The hypothesis that echoes of a relevant message were excerpted and encoded in ways that can be found by wid-e researching, forming ever-widening Rebus puzzles
Deexcerpting	The reverse of excerpting — reconstructing the full picture from scattered encoded fragments across scripture and history
7Tribes to 7Churches mapping	AMO=EPH (Innovate), HIT=SMY (TestEndure), CAN=PER (ScaleUp), PHE=THY (Refine), JEB=SAR (MassMarket), HIV=PHI (BuildNiche), GIR=LAO (GenericGrind)
ISMR	InSelfMagnifyingRuining — the collapse mechanism when learning speed cannot keep pace with the need to learn due to stone-walling between roles
WALDO	A 16-domain wid-e search framework for finding patterns across all areas of human knowledge and experience
Bashmol-ing	The combined idolatry pattern: BAal (OverComplicate) + ASHera (OverSimplify) + MOLoch (OverReach) — the three failure modes that 7Ch success requires overcoming
Ergodicity	Moses’ innovation strategy “guards ergodicity OLT to avoid ruts and pits that livelock and deadlock all non-ergodic societies until ISMR”

Broader Significance (Claude’s Assessment)

This is one of the most information-dense documents in the Good News Pack. Several aspects warrant attention:

1. The triple mapping. Connecting 7 Promised Land tribes to 7 Churches in Revelation to 7 innovation adoption stages is an ambitious claim. Each mapping is independently arguable, but the triple alignment (ancient tribes, early church letters, modern innovation theory) is what gives the framework its distinctive character.

2. Ergodicity as theological concept. The claim that Moses designed an “ergodic” society — one where individuals can fluidly move between roles to prevent fossilization — translates a mathematical concept (ergodicity) into social design. The assertion that “LLoL’s systems science review shows: Moses’ innovation strategy works!” is a strong claim that invites further examination.

3. The WALDO search wheel. The 16-domain search framework (from languages to simulacra) provides a systematic checklist for wid-e research. Its inclusion on this page connects the theoretical 7Tribes model to a practical research methodology.

4. The “Conspiracy Theory” framing. Titling this series “Expanding the Conspiracy Theory” is a deliberate provocation that acknowledges how pattern-matching across disparate domains can appear conspiratorial, while arguing the patterns are real.

5. Binary encoding. The 3-bit codes (001 through 111) assigned to each tribe/church suggest an underlying combinatorial structure related to the Mol/Ash/BA dimensions, adding a mathematical layer to the theological framework.

Expert Review Needed: Help Assess This Research and Its AI Overview

This page makes accessible one document from LLoL’s 6+ year wid-e research marathon on existential risk and ResearchCity. The PDF linked above is the original work; this page provides an overview.

The original research needs expert review. Download the PDF and bring your expertise to bear — whether you are a scientist, policy maker, theologian, peace activist, or concerned citizen. This research aims to find gentle kind reasonable ways to solve existential problems. Your perspective matters for assessing whether it succeeds.

The AI overview (see the markers) may need correction. AI may have blindly twisted the original message by emphasizing other aspects than the author would have. Important nuances may thus be missed or misrepresented. If you spot errors, missing context, or misplaced emphasis, your corrections help every future reader.

Despite all potential shortcomings of AI, AI was still used here because not saying anything about this document would have been even worse. A race against existential risks is not nuanced. Neither can be the determination to do the right thing - and get the word out to get help.

LLoL is determined to ask for such help. Hence this website to give the world a fair chance at exploring and reviewing LLoL’s ideas.

Use the FeedbackFlow link below to send your review — whether it concerns the original PDF, the AI overview, or both.

LLoL may drown for a while in the FF invited, but if people are indeed interested in making this work and avert accidental nuclear winter, then LLoL predicts that enough people will be happy to pay the about $8/year/person it will take to start scaling up ResearchCity, in order to help with the proper review of such wid-e research proposals for global decision-support like this one.

Hence, please consider that your buy-in with about $8/year will help to shift the global game from a so-called prisoner’s dilemma to an assurance game with the help of mathematical theology.

This work requires global support to avoid capture by special interests. Refining complex posters, engaging scholars across traditions, and running formal consistency checks all require sustained effort — as does scaling up a ResearchCity for global FeedbackFlows.

Let’s hope it’s not too late to fund this work!
