The Information Equilibrium - Original Thesis

The Theory of the Information Equilibrium 

The Theory of the Information Equilibrium 
For some time, I've noted my intent to publish the basis of my theory.  This post does that, by extracting from my 1996 thesis the basic elements of the theory and its definition.  

I define the Concept of the Information Equilibrium as: 

The transfer of knowledge, through the use of information based sources, technologies and services, which leads to an eventual equilibrium of the world's social, political, and economic situations. Such an equilibrium is based upon the involvement of the public, private, and non-profit sectors.  I use the word knowledge vice information on purpose.  Much information can be passed on, but it is the formation of the information into useful concepts, ideas or actions that denotes actual knowledge.  The base concept suggests that if one strives for the greatest access and distribution of information throughout the world by all peoples, the eventual result will be the transfusion of knowledge and ideas such that the world's general economic, social, and political development will move toward an equilibrium.

In the most simple of terms, the 
Theory of the Information Equilibrium proffers that the balance between societies that advance/advocate for freedom, opportunity, democracy, individual rights and those that advance dictatorships, tyranny, autocracies, etc. lay in either the flow or constriction of information in line with the Concept of the Information Equilibrium.  
 The more open the flow, the equilibrium will shift balance towards democracy and freedom; the more constricted the flow of information the balance shifts towards dictatorships, despots, theocracies, etc.  

There is a paradox in the battle for humanity in the competing ideologies that either advance the good of mankind or advance means to control mankind.  This theory attempts to boil that complexity into its most simple form - the millennia battle between Good vs Evil, where good entails freedoms and evil subjugation. This post and theory also hopefully advances a means to better understand the shifting of the equilibrium over thousands of years, and the advance of our societies from the agrarian, to industrial to information age and beyond were made possible by the flow or constriction of information in lines with this theory - but the speed greatly enhanced by technological advances.  

As such, our great American experiment in democracy, is in fact not a guarantee that it will be forever successful.  It remains a continued battle that we cannot be oblivious to, if we are to avoid shifts that lead us to ills such as socialism, communism, etc. 

Applying this theory to the Cognitive Domain is critical, if we are to derive solutions that actually avoid kinetic conflict, advance humanity and peace, and enable freedoms.  Its application from Great Power Competition to addressing the cycle of frustration is present day Afghanistan is essential if we wish to be successful.  

 While not perfect, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.  

It is my hope that scientists of all types, technology leaders, engineers, political scientists, etc. can leverage this theory to advance humanity, by not only identifying shifts in the equilibrium, but by also proactively engaging varied solutions to keeps the balance of the Information Equilibrium tilted towards freedom, opportunity and independence of the individual to advance peace, mitigate conflicts, and impede tyranny.  



The below graphic provides, again in the most simple of terms, a means to depict the complexity of this theory in a manner that is hopefully easy to digest.

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclav...

Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II. America is Dying from Within

  Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II America is Dying from Within What is the difference between the Kamala, who is now the democrat nominee for president, and hades? Well, to be frank, not much. If we consider what a Harris administration would do to America, has she not already much of that with Biden. If she is elected, you’ll see hell on earth – but it will take form in America. We must believe what we see, not what we hear or are led to believe by the deceitful. The best way to do that is to look at the policy impacts of Harris and Biden, and understand they are only a beginning if Harris and Waltz are elected. But before I focus on the actions, intent, and the devastating impacts of the Democrat’s policies on Americans let us look brief look at their nominees. Their policies are represented by the most radical leftist presidential ticket ever. A presidential and vice-presidential nominees anointed without an election, without the public voting, i...

Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook

Image
 Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook One has to wonder why Americans haven’t yet figured out the progressive’s playbook when it comes to illegal immigration. It’s like watching the train bearing down the track, the victims (the legal American citizens) are on the track but not tied down. They need only to take a simple act to avoid being run over by the train, like stepping to the side, but for some ungodly reason – they don’t.  The train in this case is illegal immigration, and the act they “could’ve” taken is to vote differently. But they don’t? Not even after all of the progressive candidates telegraphed their intent to open the borders, and worse, give free healthcare, education, and phones to any illegal crossing the border. It doesn’t matter if they’re infected with the China Flu, a felon, a child sex trafficker, a Chinese male of military age, or even an ISIS recruit – the message is come one, come all.  The cognitive dissonance is astounding, as...
