“All that he lacks is the knowledge of dimension in order that he may transmute that state of potential energy locked up in a state of motion called carbon into that other state of motion called gold; and he may have all that he desires at the cost of a very slight effort.
The formula for measuring all dimensions of the various elements of matter will herein be written down and charted with all exactness so that man’s burden of heavy labor may be lightened.
Years will pass before civilization will have adjusted itself thoroughly to the changed conditions which this new knowledge will bring to the world, but from this change a new civilization will spring.
These are the dimensions which, when known and measured will make man master in that he will be able to evolve, or devolve, or transmute, or synthesize the elements at will.
The first dimension is “length.”
The second, “breadth.”
The third, “thickness.”
The fourth, “duration” or “time.”
The fifth, “sex.”
The sixth, “pressures.”
The seventh, “potentials.”
The eighth, “temperature.”
The ninth, “ionization.”
The tenth, “crystallization.”
The eleventh, “valence.”
The twelfth, “axial rotation.”
The thirteenth, “orbital revolution.”
The fourteenth, “mass.”
The fifteenth, “color.”
The sixteenth, “plane.”
The seventeenth, “tone.”
The eighteenth, “ecliptic.”
These dimensions are characterized by one outstanding peculiarity common to all of them, an orderly periodicity.
Beyond these eighteen dimensions, and their inclusions, there are no more measurable intervals of motion.
When all of these periodicities are charted and their mathematical calculations computed with exactness it will be very simple for the ingenuity of man to devise the mechanical apparatus necessary to decrease any high potential into any lower one, or increase any low potential into any higher one”
Excerpt from Ch. 14, ‘Concerning Dimension’ from The Universal One by Walter Russell
—
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Depressants like alcohol serve confidence and conviction, but that is only due to the suppression of the imbibers capabilities to understand the world honestly.
One can call any person or thing the most revolting names and paint accusations of vile intent, it will still not make them true.
The other’s composure, intent, and selectively weaponized ignorance explains its worth.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day.—‘Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.’—Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, from “Self Reliance” (1841)
“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then? It seems to be a rule of wisdom never to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day. In your metaphysics you have denied personality to the Deity, yet when the devout motions of the soul come, yield to them heart and life, though they should clothe God with shape and color. Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.
