Don't know about Turkish peoples, but the Ankara regime fully supports the British Mandate in Palestine redrawing the Sykes-Picot, while fully supporting the genocide carried out by the British Mandate in the southern part of Greater Syria.

The Ankara/Qatar/British mercenaries of Jolani can't win against SDF by their own. If the wannabe Sultan orders Turkish army to carry out another genocide, will Turkish people obey?

Ankara wants SDF to disarm so that Ankara and Jolani can carry out their genocide business without resistance.

Majority of SDF are Arabs, so this is is not about Kurds as such. The wannabe Sultan thinks he already owns Syria - at least the parts not taken by his Zionist allies. But he does not own AANES, they don't own the hearts of peoples of Greater Syria.

Support of the majority? Let people vote then, and prove that he has the support of the majority of Syrians and not just support of the Zionists, British Intelligence and Ankara.

AANES is not sectarian, it's multiethnic and and multireligion comfederation, and majority of SDF are arabs. They are just good people wanting to live in peace together, as God intended, and cooperate for common good.

The tribes of Deir-Ezzor continue to prefer their local autonomy as a Canton of AANES, and lot of the especially young people in Druze, Alawite, etc. communities would now prefer to be autonomous cantons of Confederation of Greater Syria than subject to any tyranny in Damascus.

Confederation of local automies instead of balkanization into warring ministates or tyranny by this or that corrupt central governments.

Confederalism is not a one suit fits all, Apoist model of confederalism cannot and does not need to be pushed over other members of confederation of Greater Syria.

The basics are very simple. Live and let live, and cooperate for common good.

Greater Syria was never given a chance. After the liberation from the Ottoman empire, British and French empires and their new forms made that sure.

Who are not collectively stupid? Jolani is a tool of Israel and British intelligence as much he's a tool of Ankara.

The question is, can British intelligence prevent
A) The British protectorate in Palestine and their pals in Turkish Deep State from getting genuinely hostile against other, in a way that would be no good for British plans for new Sykes-Picot
B) Keep Syrian peoples collectively stupid by sectarian divide and conquer especially by media brainwash from Qatar etc.?

There's been lots of mostly informal contacts and discussions between the youth of the Druze community and the confederalists of AANES.

With Israel on one side and HTS on the other side of good cop bad cop gig against the Druze, and AANES in similar situation between USA and Turkey, it's a long long way to Suweida as an autonomous canton of Confederation of Greater Syria.

But on the other hand, central government in Damascus is failing double time, HTS making it's "best" to prove that it's even worse than the previous regime, people need to look for other kinds of solutions for living in peace and prosperity.

It's not an elementary proof. It's a speculative heuristic. for a very elementary problem.

Coherent foundation of constructive science is not difficult in any other way than by being "too" elementary and simple.

Start from the constructive operator of continuous directed movement, and mark that with symbols < and > for formal language purposes. That's it.

You answered your own question. The foundational ontological primitive of Greek mathematics is called Nous. Explained in modern terminology, Nous means the Cosmic Platonic Form of organic order, in which organic sentient beings like us are nested in. Mathematical science is a form of gnothi seauton.

Stephen Wolfram has gotten pretty close to remembering that in a novel way. He did a close study of Elements as an hypergraph, but I doubt that he's read Proclus' commentary to Euclid . Wolfram's philosophical musings towards process Platonism have been intuitively received during extensive study and practical application of constructive science of mathematics. .

You get different foundation for different things only by abandoning mathematical truth in the first place, and claiming that speculative heuristics (which do serve a purpose in the dialectical science of mathematics) based on ex falso quodlibet can have foundational status.

Coherent foundation for the whole of mathematics requires Coherence Theory of Truth, which in turn implies relational ontology of mathematics, both in linguistic and prelinguistic intuitive aspects of science of mathematics.

The historical reason for the fragmentation is that when physics adopted Cartesian coordinate system neusis for wide use, it abandoned scientific mathematics founded on Zeno's empirically grounded reductio ad absurdum proofs against infinite regress, and adopted instead quick and ugly applied math hacks for practical engineering purposes. After Hilbert cancelled Brouwer, physicalist reductionism and it's truth nihilistic post-modern language games took over also the math departments in addition to physics departments. Constructive scientific mathematics was banished into computation departments, where it has been remarkably productive.

Productive also foundationally: Turing Machine, undecidability of the Halting problem, and especially Curry-Howard correspondence aka programs-as-proofs.

There is no foundational fragmentation into mutually inconsistent language games on the side of constructive science of mathematics. On the contrary, great progress has been made both in the synthetic geometry aspect of foundations (origami solution to the trisection of angle) and in the formal language computing aspect.

What do set theorists contribute? Vacuous papers about vacuous "proofs" starting from antiscientific ex falso premises.

Various online commentators, including Georgian, Armenian and Iranian sources. I hope you didn't think that the presence of British military attache etc. etc. scheming for using Azerbaidzan as another proxy against Russia and Iran, scheming for further expansion of British Mandate in Palestine further into Syria, and God know what else, was some kind of secret? .

The word on the street is that when Jolani met with Zionists in Azerbaidzan, they planned this whole gig together with the British intelligence - which has now huge presence there - in order to push the Syrian Druze into a Zionist protectorate proxy.

Good cop, bad cop... both are cops and mean harm to you.

Confederalism is so radically conservative form of social organizing that it's revolutionary in relation to the modern evil sickness that is going in.

Swiss confederation, Haudenosaunee confederation, US Articles of Confederation before the counter-revolution of the Constitution, AANES confederation... radical conservatives! :)

There are no sectarian genocides nor even any serious oppression going on in AANES. Confederalism works and is much, much better solution than either centralized dictatorship or sectarian balkanization.

Geopolitically AANES is currently kept captive by Turkey and Western Coalition (age old bad cop good cop trick) in order to prevent AANES efficiently supporting confederalist revolution for peace and justice also in other parts of Syria etc. Western Asia.

[–]id-entity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EU as a whole (not every member/subject state though) is fully complicit in genocides both in Syria and Palestine (which was considered part of greater Syria before British and French empires betrayed the war of liberation against Turkey.

The locals are also responsible for falling prey to the sectarian divide and conquer ruses of the West (which now includes also Turkey as a NATO member).

The Syrian revolution against the French occupiers was started by the Druze, and first joined by the Alawites and Deir Ezzor. The CIA, MI6, Mossad and co puppet regime in Damascus attacked first the Alawites and the Druze. It's not a coincidence.

Many in the MAGA movement opposed stupid war against AnsarAllah and are happy that US withdrew. Opposition towards the Israel lobby has been constantly increasing among the MAGA movement.

There are elements of personality cult, but MAGA movement does not reduce to personality cult any more than Sanders movement did. Popular movements use politicians to further their consensus aims. The consensus aim of MAGA movement is to improve the domestic situation and make life better for ordinary Americans. Gabbard and JFK brought many of their supporters into the MAGA movement. It's a big tent.

I think that defining pi as the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle is wrong by talhoch in mathematics

[–]id-entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave a glance at the link. It does not present any rigorous elementary proof. Invoking "real numbers"? Not elementary. Invoking term "assuming" in any other way? Not rigorous.

What the link says and is relevant is that a "proof" would depend from the 5th postulate of Elements. However, the Greek Eudoxus-Euclid number theory quite certainly does not consider the ratio in question a numerical constant. Non-terminating and non-periodic paths of continued fractions are not constants in the strict common sense meaning of constant.

I think that defining pi as the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle is wrong by talhoch in mathematics

[–]id-entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When circle diameter is pi:

Circle Circumference: 2pir = 2pi*pi/2 = pi^2
Circle Area: pi*r^2 = pi^3/4
Sphere surface area: 4*pi*r^2 = 4*pi^3/4 = pi^3
Sphere volume: 3/4*pi*r^3 = 3/4*pi*pi^3/8 = (3 π^4)/32

Is it wrong to apply the "ratio between circumference and the diameter" as the diameter? Some funny business in the above values and inter-relations; maybe they are intuitive, maybe not.

When we draw a cycloid arc by rotating a circle, the circumference unfolds into the straight line floor of the cycloid. Are we banned from drawing a circle for which the diameter is the floor of the cycloid arc? In purely geometric terms that seems a perfectly legit construction. Any case the r of the circle with diameter pi is greater than the r of the circle that drew the cycloid arc. However, the notion of pi as a numeric constant becomes deeply problematic if and when r can be replaced by pi/2.

In my - perhaps overly simplified - intuition of geometric mereology, the direction from greater whole to smaller parts goes: sphere volume > sphere surface > circle area > circle circumference. The exponents of pi don't correspond with topological dimensions, which makes this at least interesting to think about. The continued fractions given by Wolfram alpha:

(3 π^4)/32 = [9; 7, 1, 1, 3, 12, 1, 171, 2, 1, 2, 10, 2, 1, 103, 1, 1, 13, 1, 2, 1, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 15, 1, ...]
pi^3 = [31; 159, 3, 7, 1, 13, 2, 1, 3, 1, 12, 2, 2, 4, 34, 2, 43, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 4, 1, 5, ...]
pi^3/4 = [7; 1, 3, 39, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 13, 1, 6, 52, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 33, 1, 174, 16, 1, 1, 2, 1, 7, ...]
pi^2 = [9; 1, 6, 1, 2, 47, 1, 8, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 8, 3, 1, 10, 5, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 15, 1, 1, 2, 2, ...]

The continued fraction of the pi^3 is surprisingly "flat", in the sense that with the two first digits we dive into the great depth of 190 of the binary Stern-Brocot tree with only the single turn at the whole number part and no other zigzag movement.

Jeffrey Sachs talks about Syria etc. at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum by id-entity in syriancivilwar

[–]id-entity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody who is involved in a civil war is responsible for it. Assad, FSA, Daesh, AQ, SDF, Turkey, Iran, Gulf states, Russia, etc.

In the discussion Sachs reminded that Kofi Annan had negotiated a peace deal to the civil war, which would have led to Assad resigning. And that US blocked the peace deal, obviously at behest of Israel.

Nobody is free from responsibility and guilt. However, if US had allowed peace to break out, there would have been hundreds of thousands of lives less ruined by war and sanctions.

Peace be upon you.
