Doyle; In order to mathematically address the general area, the Calculus is not the right area of study. One would want with conspiracies to think in terms of graph theory as Erdos and others worked in mainly post WWII. The revival of interest in Beyer's Net to give insight into attempts by the Catholic Church (The one universal church theory) to suppress Protestants is a good example of a serious way to consider conspiracy theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_theory Or Cognitive Interfaces, Constraints on Linking Cognitive Information, Oxford Linguistics Van Der Zee and Nikanne, editors, 2000 Computing tools for addressing the issue are mainly high performance parallel processing, somewhat used in financial processes, but not well understood in expressing how a 'conspiracy' works. Rests upon in my view widespread availability of multi processor chips for computing non-linear connections in real time for general purpose public use. Without the right tools most of the area is speculative in a generalized context. While practical where business has a lot of money to spread around, it is difficult to imagine really understanding the area without the right tools being available on a mass scale. I would also add that symmetrical invariant properties of cognition are a factor in network creation. Text based discussions are at the further extreme distant of the ability to address conspiracy or network theory. Doyle
