Civilisation's Thermodynamic Corridor

Below is the full series of articles, very happy to post this on a Friday. There are 5 parts:

The Arena
The Machine
The Trajectory
The Viability Problem
The Implications

This is a framework for how to survive and grow a civilisation living on the thermodynamic gradient between a stellar object and deep space (where we live). It is based on first principle axioms of physics, such as the laws of thermodynamics. It is grounded in geometric algebra and mathematical rigour.

This is not sci-fi, this is the actual human condition. It is utterly fascinating when view through this framework.
There is also a results register which I will attach below.

@Object_Zero_ Would fly in for an event LMK! Thoughts that I've had for years done way more rigorously and comprehensively. Bravo!

@Google DNS entries don't change much, do you not have any monitoring or alerting around dropping an entire TLD all at once?! Us poor MLOps companies are suffering:

@esouthard @ewoodh2o It's only been a couple years. I'm still gonna respond. YAML is a superset of JSON that is more human-readable.

The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not!
