I’ll start off with the easiest option to dispose of. I’ve read a bit about ongoing efforts to kindle fusion here on Earth. As an energy-producing proposition, they are doomed to fail. The reason is simple: It takes the energy density of sun-sized chaonic gravity to sustain atomic fusion. One can substitute another form of energy to initiate fusion briefly here on Earth, but the energy balance will always be negative. And the fusion will just be a tiny bip, a pulse that goes out like a snuffed candle. If Jupiter were bigger, its gravitational surrounding and interpenetrating free chaons would have initiated sustained fusion long ago and we’d have two suns! Think of how awesome and different that would be for us, but perilous, too. There’s a great Isaac Asimov story called Nightfall about a planet with multiple suns, all of which only set together every ten thousand years.

Among the physical implications of Chaon Theory, one of the most important is that chaons may achieve spins reaching infinity. They would be the only particles capable of doing this. This could only happen if an individual chaon got separated from all the other free chaons in the spacetime matrix. It would spin out to infinity, use up its energy, and vanish. In other words, all chaons must remain engaged with other chaons; if they disengage, they die. The spiritual parallel is that souls cast too far into the outer void die too, unless the expanding bubble of Creation recaptures them. This is what drives the drama in my favorite epic poem, Milton’s Paradise Lost. Lucifer (‘light-bearer’) takes his rebellious angels and leaves God; he is not merely cast out. As a result, he remains redeemable, at least for a while. The creation and loss story that begins Tolkien’s Legendarium at the opening of his greatest epic, The Silmarillion, substitutes the aural for the visual. In both, the dissenters abscond to worship themselves and their inferior works, neither knowing nor caring how lacking they are.

A simplified model of engaged chaonic spin is provided by the ’60s children’s game Spirograph. In it, one uses little colored clear plastic wheels of varying sizes with gear teeth and pen holes in varying positions to create beautiful patterns which mimic many nodal objects and continuous phenomena found in Nature, from flowers to sea life to celestial orbits (including procession and recession) and the larger movements in galaxies. As an older kid, I worked out some of the mathematics behind Spirograph with the help of a wonderful high school teacher. It could form one springboard for the creation of new maths to model chaonic behavior. I’m sure physicists could jump all over this and bring chaons to life mathematically, moving from two dimensions to three, spiral to helix, like Slinky. And lock it into the existing maths behind Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics. The fact is, chaons, paradoxically, mostly work in an orderly fashion susceptible to mathematical modeling and expression. Their chaotic action is due to free chaonic OPPOSITION to bound chaons. That is, there is a continuum of chaonic freedom from totally free (and dead) to permanently bound (never reached in the temporal plane). The secrets of how chaons operate across the span of the physical environment are vital to determining the specific actions available to us to transition from the extinction trajectory we are on now, to one in which humanity, and the rest of life, have a chance to continue.

Edmund Morris’ biography Edison hints at what could have been an alternate future a century in the past. Edison is seen early in the Twentieth Century inveigling his new-found friend, Henry Ford, to fit out his recently conjured assembly line to produce cars powered by Edison’s latest invention, a battery far more compact and powerful than the messy and explosive lead-acid ones perfected the previous century. He is rebuffed, however. Ford elects to propel his Model T with an internal combustion engine burning gasoline, a top-of-the-tower product from the refineries spawned by John D. Rockefeller’s spectacular empire. This light hydrocarbon sealed the fate of the world: Civilization would heretoforth be animated exclusively by fossil fuels – cheap, abundant and seemingly inexhaustible. Explosive growth of every sort was on the horizon.

To break this addiction will be a Herculean task. Not only in the doing, but in the aftermath. No other energy source is nearly as cheap as fossil fuel. We face a future of less, much less, energy use per person, especially here in the United States.

With this in mind, we need to look carefully at what we are consuming now, and why. We will have to cut our per-capita energy use by half, and then by half again. To do that, obviously a great deal of replacement technology must be invented, perfected for the market, and deployed into an economy which itself must be reinvented. All while keeping that economy, and the people it supports, alive. This is a trick akin to rebuilding an aircraft while it is in flight. And it has to be done fast.

The first thing we have to do is shed unnecessary load. The easiest low-hanging fruit are energy-hog fripperies like Crypto. They can simply be banned. Super-short turnaround delivery of everything that doesn’t need it is another category where huge energy savings can be had almost immediately. The entire economy can be analyzed this way and a continuum of energy savings realized in real time. Will it be hard? Yes. Will there be screaming, yelling and lawsuits? Sure. But it can be done, and must be.

We will need to invent and consolidate whole industries to redirect and transform future energy use. The construction industry needs a vast makeover. Everyone in it should be trained and licensed in multiple specialties. We have over 100 million structures whose HVAC needs to be completely rebuilt.

Roofing and drainage, too. Our new-found knowledge of how free chaons actually affect depreciation through physical deterioration rates will be vital to scaling up and realistically maintaining this effort.

If we are to have an economy that serves everyone adequately, we will need to go Spartan, for at least the duration of its transformation. A big part of that is adjusting our wasteful mindsets and habits. To create an Economy of Necessity. One that meets everyone on the planet’s basic needs, then uses what’s left over for life enhancements.

We have the exact opposite of that now – A Luxury Economy. Most of the jobs in that economy are geared to making the lives of the upper-income portion as ‘seamless’ as possible. As numbingly distracting as possible. As cocooned and mollycoddled as possible. Everybody else suffers. Many die.

We need to upend the whole narrow pyramid, and out of it build a platform of universal human support.

To start that process off, we need to do extensive teardown work on our existing crumbling economic superstructure. Starting with demolishing surveillance capitalism. This means demolishing and rebuilding the internet so it actually serves real people, all of them, and their real needs.

Market-driven capitalism is an amoeba. A mindless mob, or rather innumerable mindless flash mobs, forming, acting, then dispersing to re-form, governs its every move, and its insatiable physical growth. It is powered by nothing more than whimsical, capricious, fleeting appetites. Its god, sorry to say, is none other than the mercurial Hermes himself. It has been turbocharged by the power of the internet.

To destroy this idol to caprice, we must strip down our economy to its frame, and rebuild it as an adaptive, metamorphic vehicle for insuring human survival. Physical basics MUST be provided for first, for EVERYONE ON THE PLANET. Avocations and hobbies can come after that.

The so-called ‘service economy’ MUST serve basic human needs, not fickle narcissistic diversions.

This does not mean the end of art and joy – quite the opposite. The joy needs to be turned around – to serving others, not just ourselves. That is the Golden Rule. Our new economy must be built on it.
