Peter, Jones, never heard of Smarandache before. Just randomly poking into his ideas today.
He seems to be a truly wild thinker, not afraid of expressing conspiracies and other no-no's. Have to dive into his concept of 'neutrosophy' and his and his handling of the paradoxical, which seems to be quite original. also he seems to have a couple likeminded people around him. -> eg Georgi 'unparticle physics' http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0703260 --- Short Definitions of Neutrosophics: Neutrosophic Logic is a general framework for unification of many existing logics, such as fuzzy logic (especially intuitionistic fuzzy logic), paraconsistent logic, intuitionistic logic, etc. The main idea of NL is to characterize each logical statement in a 3D Neutrosophic Space, where each dimension of the space represents respectively the truth (T), the falsehood (F), and the indeterminacy (I) of the statement under consideration, where T, I, F are standard or non-standard real subsets of ]-0, 1+[ with not necessarily any connection between them. As a particular case, one can split the Indeterminate "I" into Contradiction (true and false), and Uncertainty (true or false), and we get an extension of Belnap's four-valued logic. Even more, one can split "I" into Contradiction, Uncertainty, and Unknown, and we get a five-valued logic. --- As the wild thinker he is, he can think of something like 'un-matter', and handle it within his framework. Frightening to the feeble-minded. For anybody's enjoyment: read GLOBAL TOTALITARIANISM AND THE WORKING ANIMALS http://fs.gallup.unm.edu/GlobalTotalitarianism.pdf Bad english, but anyway. Here he tries to make sort of an update to Machiavell and Sun Tsu according to his conceprion of the paradoxical, as far as I understand. Very entertaining, if one has the sensorium to digest wild outbursts like this. From an orthodox perspective he is a provocateur, just like Slavoy Zizek, which has some tradition in Southeast-Europe. (sorry Peter, as a wannabe polymath I again point to Cioran and Ionescu; there is a pattern here) Wonder how he managed to keep his professorship at the UNM.

In my former newsletter INFO KAPPA I have re-analysed lot (say 300) basic concepts and Florentin has helped and inspired me with Paradox. ----------------------------------------- On Sat, Jun 30, 2012 at 12:52 AM, Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net> wrote: This is a prolific fellow who espouses, or at least tries to explain LENR... >with a number of theories that come into view on searches for arcane >details, like the Yukawa potential.
