From: "albert j. pinto" <alpinto@bellatlantic.net> Subject: Re: To: timbl@w3.org: Albert Einstein and Albert the Great To: www-p3p-public-comments@w3.org Dear Tim Berners-Lee: Peace in the Cyberspace of Christ and His Global Village... In my first public letter to you, I described many of the aspects of order and/or chaos that shall emerge in the computer age with every IP address and scripted language added. In this letter, I hope to offer a comparative analysis on the nature of artificial intelligence versus the physics of nature and aeviternity. Aeviternity here means that state of temporal presence being celestially-influenced, and welling up as well in the body, soul and spirit of non-artificial man... Einstein pointed to a variety of influences that relativize our concepts on space and time: but the speed of light was to remain constant. This grand constant works well in our spatial-temporal domain - namely, Earth's locale - but is hardly less constant than space and time depending on the influences so theoretically warped. One proof is the nature of light as such. Let's see... For if we miss this immense truth, we may make in the world of "intelligentiae artificialis" a mythic god of light without realizing that pure light per se already exists - and here's the key - it ain't a physical entity! Light, insofar as it is all contracted with physical bodies, was called by the great mediaevalist Albert the Great, "lumen" - but even here the light was refracting or permeating or reflecting from a physical body: the "lumen" then was only luminous because of the interactive parts. Light, insofar as it was prior to these interactions, and even insofar as it was not to be identified with the parts upon or into which it shined, was called "Lux" - namely, a spirited and substantial artifex that programs a universe into illumination! Einstein believed this at first, but could not square Cabalistic Gnosis with Modern Science - and so he began to permit his higher science to dim in this regard. Prophetic, I guess, in some small way: because modern science is rapidly becoming theoretical-mythical gnosis even as it yet strains to "suck thumb at mommy church" for what She did to poor Galileo...Boo-hoo, the yoke's on all EM-2! Wherefore, I strongly advise a hard and mediaeval review of Universal Science before we enter the "labyrinthine rays" of artificial intelligence. Why? Be-cause Albertus Magnus, called Universal Doctor for his commentaries on every major principle of theology, philosophy and natural science, is just what the Divine Doctor has ordered for our "genetically-scanned global pillage"...
