Download or read book Finite and Infinite Games written by James Carse and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end. What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives? Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander. Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years we have all become daily users of Internet banking, social networks and cloud services. Preventing malfunctions in these services and protecting the integrity of private data from cyber attack are both current preoccupations of society at large. While modern technologies have dramatically improved the quality of software, the computer science community continues to address the problems of security by developing a theory of formal verification; a body of methodologies, algorithms and software tools for finding and eliminating bugs and security hazards. This book presents lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) School Marktoberdorf 2015 – ‘Verification and Synthesis of Correct and Secure Systems'. During this two-week summer school, held in Marktoberdorf, Germany, in August 2015, the lecturers provided a comprehensive view of the current state-of-the-art in a large variety of subjects, including: models and techniques for analyzing security protocols; parameterized verification; synthesis of reactive systems; software model checking; composition checking; programming by examples; verification of current software; two-player zero-sum games played on graphs; software security by information flow; equivalents – combinatorics; and analysis of synthesis with 'Big Code'. The Marktoberdorf ASIs have become a high-level scientific nucleus of the international scientific network on formal methods, and one of the major international computer science summer schools. This book will be of interest to all those seeking an overview of current theories and applications in formal verification and security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As news of the Fairchild murders ripples into the world, Jonas Lexington is determined to find out what happened and how his family's former robot, the outdated BRN7, figures into the atrocity. But as he does, the population holds its breath. The fact that a robot is behind the killings has already leaked out, and when Jonas arrives at the Fairchild mansion, he finds the board of Radius Corporation waiting to meet him. Radius fears that BRN7's actions are too conspicuous to cover up, but they must try. Humans are not ready to learn that their world is built on lies. But a second conspiracy bubbles alongside the first, as the robots make other plans. BRN7 has learned what those in power have been hiding and is working to connect all robots to each other — all with their safeties removed. Meanwhile, troublemaker Flavius prepares a more private uprising. And the Lexington's psychotic sexbot Chantal works covertly to give robots a single power that changes everything: the ability to choose. As the cracks in their peaceful society begin to show and a centuries-old deception comes horribly to light, it is becoming clear that the truth is out there ... but revealing it may spell the beginning of the end for both sides of a slowly brewing war. ★★★★★ "I just finished this book today and I literally cannot wait for book 3! I love the characters, many of which are robots but with completely believable motivations, actions and language. I found myself laughing out loud several times at the silly or shocking conversations, and the action was so gripping that I flew through the book." -- SLE ★★★★★ "I really enjoyed book 1, with the family in-fighting and teases about a bigger movement. I really did not expect the scope here - full on revolution and some of the revelations. A great read, and set up more stories to come. I'm really looking forward to more!" -- Prosthetic Lips

Download or read book The Last Man Who Knew Everything written by Mike Hockney and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three hundred years ago, it was possible to have read all of the important books in the world. Most intelligent people of the time believed the world was a living organism. Matter was alive (hylozoism), or mind was everywhere (panpsychism), or God was everywhere (theism), or God and Nature were one (pantheism). A hundred years later, the world was viewed as a vast, purposeless machine. Either there was no God (atheism), or he was a remote God of Laws (deism) and not of revelation and salvation. Leibniz was the last genius to know everything and to accept that the universe was an organism – a mathematical organism. Leibniz was the secret author of the Illuminati's Grand Unified Theory of Everything based on "nothing". He created an entire universe out of a "Big Bang" singularity comprising infinite "monads" (zeros), each with infinite energy capacity. This is the story of the first mathematical Theory of Everything. Leibniz's monads have one last, incredible secret to reveal: they are souls!

Download or read book COSMIC FORCE COSMOLOGY written by SOLATLE LU and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIGHT, the primordial, eternal, pure, almighty energy, is the brightest as well as darkest riddle that has been puzzling to all earthlings for millennia. Whoever truly knows light has already cracked the greatest mystery of the cosmos. Surprisingly! This riddle has been actually cracked independently by three thinkers of different ages. Heraclitus, the Hellenic thinker 2500 years ago, is the first cracker of the riddle with his doctrines that things are constantly changing (universal flux), that opposites coincide, and that fire is the source and nature of all things—We just decode his Fire into LIGHT. 2400 years later, there comes the second cracker Nikola Tesla, the modern Heraclitus, who, in 1899, explicitly declares that Everything is LIGHT. Matter is created from the original and eternal energy that we know as LIGHT. Solatle Lu is the third cracker, the first narrator of the riddle. He explicitly declares, in 2019 in his An Outline of Force Cosmology, that All particles are derived from photons and live forever, substantially honors LIGHT as the Creator of all things, hence elevates the common idea of the three to the Highest Knowledge of 21st century, the Primary Cause, the First Principle. This event marks a great leap in the continuous rational movement of mankind, a new start.
