High Pass Filters
via High Pass Filter.
Someone asked about high pass wave (High Pass filters), this is a pretty good definition. Interesting:
20 db every decade, just as good as stopped, but positive slope.
Now we can see the power-law in action 
20 events @ every decade of magnitude. The “Gap” is at the phase shift, i.e. all force is internal and across the gap.
He said he would continue to make sure that China and other countries abided by trade agreements, but warned it would be a mistake for the US to become protectionist.
“The approach that we’re taking is to try to get much tougher about the enforcement of existing rules, putting constant pressure on China and other countries to open up their markets in reciprocal ways,” he said.
“But what I don’t want to do is for us as a country or as a party, to shy away from the prospects of international competition.”
Mr Obama also said foreign exchange rates would be monitored.
“One of the challenges that we’ve got to address internationally is currency rates and how they match up to make sure that our goods are not artificially inflated in price and their goods are artificially deflated in price,” he explained.

By issuing the warning that it would be a mistake for the US to become protectionist, the incumbents are attempting to win-over both Quants and Quals. The Quants know globalization is the right thing to do; Quals know that war, trade or not, with China is not a future building enterprize. The only ones he will not win-over by this kind of talk are the magical thinkers, such as this blog. Of course most magical thinkers are not focused and can be easily made irrelevant, by issues such as abortion, gay marriage, conspiracy theory, or anything else that a “Holy Grail” will fix. While the people of the blog I refer to seem like concerned citizens, they also seem to have forgotten that the “vote” is the only source of force for change, and anything else is just a bunch of “noise” leading towards distraction.
The center of wealth in the USA is isolating itself from those on both coastlines by their magical thinking. This isolation results in fronts being built on both sides of the center, as they pull resources across both boarders from south to north, and north to south.
And let us not forget that peace is war by other means. By suggesting “exchange rates would be monitored”, Obama is keeping us in the peace, while trying to fight the good fight on the war-front. How long the US is able to remain a center instead of a front is the real battle going on now. A front is line drawn between a gap between two potentials from which resources flow; a center is a potential for negative or positive wealth. War flows across fronts; peace builds in centers. The US is so divided that it is just as likely that fronts will be built on both sides of the center (center of the USA), as it would be for fronts to be built across the boarders between globalization (protectionist fronts) and the USA.
Letting the world hear our voice, as Mao exhorted, can be effective in managing diverse expectations.

As China over-takes Japan as the number 2 economy in the world, the fact that China clutches on to Mao’s words is most reveling. Most forget that China is still a communistic society (TPMB there is no such thing as a Gap), and, because of this, choose to bring forward the image of China’s many capitalistic adventures. But China is and will always be, until it finds another system that gives it an advantage in the environment it resides in, a communistic society. China is doing to the capitalists what corporate America did to Russia; China gave America enough rope to hang itself.
Of course, on China’s end of the rope, there is Japan.
While for Quants the vision of the pathway ahead is limited to what amounts to a straight line, its vision of the future is very clear, accurate and binary. It gets this vision from what they observe, and this observation is isolated into a strong orientation. This orientation, of what Quants see, holds the binary information for the image of the future, they know. Perhaps it would be easier to compare the visions of Quants and Quals.
Quants vision is based on the orientation that is explicitly define by the image that they see or feel. On the other hand, Quals vision is based on the implicit image defined by their orientation. The Quants vision is a line, clearly defined by their orientation, perpendicular to the path to the future. A line they judge as needing to cross. Crossing that line gets them to the clearly defined image of the future. As an example, a Quant will be for or against gays in the military, gay marriage, or abortion, if it is judged to be right or wrong. If the image of gays in the military is judged to be wrong, then Quants will be against that vision.
The Quals vision is base on a plane that holds the past, future and the center of their orientation. All three points define the plane, and it is the precision, between the past and center, that locates and judges the future to exist. It is a plane they don’t need to cross, but is used to target a future. A future once targeted is one that has more potential to exist than not. It is a potential judged worth creating. As an example, Quals will be for or against gays in the military, gay marriage, or abortion, if it is judged to create (or not) a future (negative potential) or no future (positive potential). If the image of gay people in the military creates a positive potential, then Quals will be against the vision.
Mostly, Quants are the younger-generation visionaries, while Quals are the older-generation visionaries. If you are young and a Quals; you will have no goals, only reactions to daily events. If you are old and a Quant; you will have no center of being. When you are young the future is clear, but with an undefined center, until your orientation locates it for you. When you are old, the future is less clear, but you have located your center by the vision your orientation has given you. Ultimately, Quals become “centered” in their universe, while Quants never will. Youth is a journey to a center, from a point on a line. Knowledge is the area at the center of the journey, and judgment is the first step towards the center.
The web seems to be divided into two opposing parties. At different times I divided-up these parties into Conservatives v Liberals, Democrats v Republicans, Thinkers v Non-thinkers, believer’s v non-believers, ect. … It now seems obvious the two parties opposing each other on the web is the Quantities (Quants) versus the Qualities (Quals). Much of this division has to do with the fact humans are of two minds, the left and right.
The left side quantifies everything; the right side qualifies everything. The left-side brain follows one linear path that clicks-off right and wrongs in mostly a clinical fashion. The Quants have certainty of decision, between right and wrong. The left-brain functionaries (Quants), build a “front” across the path between the Observed past and future, and cross these fronts to get to the next front. Crossing fronts of right or wrong gives the mind of the Quants great speed between decision and action, while maintaining a path free of branches, too much to the right or left. This gives the Quant the ability to generate much diversity in crossing these fronts, because they have faith in their future, base on their judgements of certainty between right and wrong.
The down-side of Quants: they can never see the correct distance to the next front, because the view of things vertical is proportionally true-sized, but the path length to the next front may not be true-size. In other words, the action taken may be accurate, which is time/speed dependent; but not precise, which is time/distance dependent. The future may be on a different plane horizontally to the past.
The future targeted by Quants may be correct, but the action of the Quant may never reach the target. This is because; the path to get there may be longer than anticipated. The Quants only look down the path linearly and have no vision horizontally of the consequences of the diversity they generated, while crossing the front. It could be that the decision to generate diversity may have been the wrong one, and a journey judged wronged is a journey with no end (or short ending). There was something wrong in the quantity of the decision, because the distance to the future was not true-size.
The Right-side qualifies everything. The right-side brains create centers (Orientations) and moves outward or inward proportionally to the area of the plane, on which the centers are formed. The past and future revolve around these centers and it is easy for the Quals to accurately target the future and past, because they are on the same plane, their paths are true-size. As long as conformity is enforce at the center of gravity, the distance of the path, from the past to the future is true. It is then a matter of a trigonometry function to target the future. The center is known, because of conformity; therefore, the distance from the past to the center is known; because both the past and future are on the same plane. Once the position of the future is known, it is easily targeted. This accuracy of targeting enables the Quals to reach decisions at great speed.
For Quals, once the decision is reached, there is little need for speed. The force created by the past and future potential of the decision (the positions of the past and future are clearly defined and creates a force in the universe) is more important to Quals than a Quant. The Quals controls the future by the force of command (Fire!). The down-side of Quals: the decision may be precise (in the distance between the positions of the past and future), but not accurate.
While the past and future are on the same center of a plane and the position of the past and future are easy to triangulate, there is nothing in the past and future (other than the distance of the path) vertically that is of true size. The problem with potentials (and the center of a potential): a potential may or may not exist. In other words, a negative potential is just as great as a positive potential. While the Quals are able to precisely target between the past and future, upon arriving at the future, it might not exist. The center wasn’t accurate; there was something wrong in the quality of the decision.
