Conditions of Existence, Elliot Waves, Fibonacci, and Odu Transitions 16 comments

15 Jan 2006 @ 13:34, by Max Sandor (The following article was first written in 2001 in Orlando, Florida. It didn't find any resonance with nobody, got lost in time, dunno about this rewrite. In any case, material for Polar Dynamics 2...) Conditions of Existence, Elliot Waves, Fibonacci, and Odu Transitions Much speculation was being done in the past about what would be the basic formula for the evolution of Life, Universe, and Everything, the main candidates being the number 42 and the number of the Pi relation. Both are mere numbers, an actual formula however would be much more than a single number or relationship. It should accurately describe the progression of evolution and not an observed relationship of dimensions AFTER its manifestation already occured. Of course, there is the Fibonaccio number (another number), often confused with Pi like in a recent Hollywood movie, but, behind the abstract number, we can find the numeric progression of all growth in nature. Whether chicken farm populations or organic proportions, we can witness the validity of this formula in all of nature. However, this formula, in its basic form, doesn't allow for the ... phenomenon of 'retracement', a temporary drop in activity. It was Thomas C, Elliot, studying stock markets in the 30's and 40's, who discovered the basic shape of any progress beyond single organisms. This basic shape, since then called Elliot Wave, is significant way beyond the stock and future markets. In especially, it includes the fractal concept as well. With the Elliot Wave phenomena such as sun spot activities, or behavior of human populations (mass psychology) as reflected in stock or future market activities can be modelled. A parallel observation, attributed to Hubbard, is called 'Conditions of Existence (or often Ethic Conditions), offering 'formulas' to move on from one state to the next and/or preventing to drop back into a previous condition. It states correctly that it is impossible to jump from one state to another arbitrarily but that one needs to go step by step. His system extends to 'negative conditions' such as treason, etc, but unfortunately contains some problems and at least two serious errors but still works extremely well in the upper (positive) band of conditions. In 'Polar Dynamics 1' Sandor&Dawson introduced the concept of 'Olodu Wheels' describing the transitions of base energies (Olodu) in a circular fashion. This concept uses the ancient system of Ifa of 16 Olodu which, when forming polarities, create 256 basic energies. 'Manifestation' as such is described by the first wheel: Oyeku, Oshe, Ogbe, Ofun, from the not-yet-manifested void (Oyeku), via compilation (Oshe, cp the Indian concept of sankara), to a manifestation (Ogbe), and finally its analysis and dissulotion (ofun), the end which is at the same time the beginning, Shiva's eternal cycle of creation and distruction. Using the system of Odu Transitions opens the road to further examination of the actual components of the Elliot Wave (1 thru 4) of or the Hubbardian 'Conditions' between Non-Existence (0) and full manifestation (5) or 'Power'. The comparison of models makes two particularities apparent: the inherent threat of the 'Power Condition' leading to a steep fall, and the inconsistency of the condition sequence of the Hubbardian condition sequence 'non-ex, danger, emergency, normal', which is assuming the same linear behavior for both the way up and the way down, and not recognizing the retracements as what they are. The Hubbardian formulas still are workable very well in the upper band but a similar error in the lower band (below non-ex) was (is?) creating a lot of havoc. The analysis of statistical patterns in nature and society shows well-defined proportional relations between the various steps, leading to the 'Fibonacci number Phi'. If there is a 'basic'number in the physical Universe, there can be no doubt it would this Phi and not Pi. As Buckminster Fuller pointed out, there are NO straight lines in nature nor are there perfect circles. Pi describes a relation within abstracted ideals which Man then injects via arts and technology into the physical Universe. In this sense, the number Pi becomes even more special than it would actually be the basic number of this Universe. Theoretically and under regular conditions, both time and value-level of the next conditon can be projected accurately using the Elliot Wave and the Fibonacci relationship. In reality, however, the fractal property of phenomena will disfigure the beautiful wave and subdivide any of its steps into further waves, and so forth, until we finally only see a quasi random pattern such as statistics of sun spot activities or stock charts. This, of course, destroys the dreams of speculators that hope to predict the future value of stocks and the like. The Oshe-Subcycles, between (0) and 5 in the drawing, do not find explanations in the Elliot system but some parts are very well described in the 'Conditions' paradigm. Calling the range from 2 to 3 as the 'normal' condition and 3 to 4 as 'affluence' which leads to a power condition at point 5 communicates intuitively and is very well practical in applications. Calling the entire 0 to 1 range 'non-existence' is clearly a misnomer, a better name should be found. Using the Ifa system of Olodu, we can now analyze the Oshe-Subcycles in a new way. As a note, the wave formula is reflexive, it finds its application also within any of the 16 pole energies (Olodu) and the 256 base energies themselves (Odu). For example, the famous 'Learning curve' actually is the Elliot wave for the Olodu Okanran. (to be continued... but before presenting my own ideas for the Oshe-Subcycles (next month?), I prefer to initiate a brainstorming of the readers of this article...)
