A more relevant example is the contradiction right now confronting us – namely the discrepancy between the way we think, and the way Propositional Calculus imitates us.

There are several modes of thinking in the great hive mind of elites that I do not think have been captured here. I am not going to defend these points of view, merely to describe them accurately - many of these points view are not actually defensible, but they still exist, and they often are motivational factors.

The 1st thing that one needs to understand, is that the elites see each other more than they see followers. In essence, while the followers think of people as Republicans and Democrats, the elites think of them as insiders and outsiders - and they take the color of the group which they see as "like us". The moral rules are different from the ethical rules that will be imposed upon them; in essence, they are like a group of chimpanzees: and the response of chimpanzees that they see is more important than the large number of outsiders who they do not see.

Following from this, the insiders view themselves as not having to get permission, only forgiveness. If they have a dictator in hand, they do not see why they should not crush the dictator - even if the dictator submitted under internationally recognized laws - they think of things as "what is to stop them from lynching". From the outsiders' point of view, there is a difference - but it is hard to explain to a group of insiders what that difference is. From the point of view of a group of insiders, they just need forgiveness, not permission. Additionally, once they have permission, they do not need to submit their reasoning to a more discussion by a group of outsiders. Again, they only see outsiders occasionally. So what they think of as "noise” bothers them, because the insiders do not need to submit to questions.

Again, from the outside there has to be a reason; but to be insider’s point of view there only has to be permission. However, the insiders do not do the work - they do not, in the main, program computers or set up human intelligent networks. This means that a great number of people who are not insiders, get to see the workings of policy. And many of them do not agree with the insiders' point of view of forgiveness trumps permission - many of them still think of the world as having an ethical framework.

Thus when, for example, Hillary Clinton wants to crush a dictator, there is no reason on the insiders' point of view, why she should not do it if she has permission to do so. From the outside edges point of view, there are reasons, and when Hillary Clinton runs for president, these reasons appear as an absence - people do not want to work for Hillary, and she loses. She only dimly understands why this is.

Of course, there are differences even among the insiders - most of them accept that permission was given to invading Afghanistan, but for more of them knew that invading Iraq was not a good idea. They realized that the military forces of the United States, and its allies, would have to win a victory within a short period of time. If they had seriously asked the military and civilian intelligence forces, they would see that that period of time was less than 2 presidential election cycles - but they did not ask, instead they demanded that the military and civilian sources repeated what they wanted to hear. Anyone else was fired. But there was enough opposition to the invasion of Iraq, that when victory did not come as quickly as promised, there were enough of them to raise voices, and another of them to get these voices covered. So when Libya was enacted on the "forgiveness not permission" standard, there were a lot more voices saying that this was not a good idea: and pointed out the flaw in the idea.

Since we are not insiders, we tend to think of situations as an ethical framework, rather than a group of insiders who think of it as a moral framework. This comes into play when the core conflict of permission against forgiveness is pointedly defined. Insiders do not think of all such considerations as the framework under which dictators surrender, it simply does not cross their minds - only outsiders think in those terms.

If you think of this in a logical framework, one can immediately see the difference between forgiveness, which looks backward, and permission, which looks forwards. Drawing a box, one will immediately understand that an arrow that asks for permission is a great deal harder than 1 which asks for permission. The arrow then becomes a “catastrophe theory” - 1 which occasionally will yield different results depending on whether one asks for permission, rather than forgiveness. 1 can formulate two different results and formulate them with different logical values – the logical values are the permission vs. forgiveness values – permission has to have a going in value, while the forgiveness only has 2 go out. Each value comes where the action is before or after. Before means that one has 2 have permission, and afterward needs only forgiveness.

So, A ~ B (A permission B) is different A ` B (A forgive B), and these differences can be quantified, with logical operations. We will then call this the difference between pre-operator and post-operative, and the decision on whether the action is on A or B is the key difference. This works out to A ~ B – C, or A - C ` B, depending on whether A has to get B's permission 1st, or can seek forgiveness afterwards. In one case, C is at the mercy of A, whereas in the letter case, B's permission is required.

This has utilization in various forms of logical and physical questions, for example, A ~ B can be different in the case of an electron in a carbon atom slipping to the next level, as opposed to A ` B. it is clear that in quantum mechanics A ` B applies, rather than A ~ B – where classical mechanics is the reverse. For physical operations, then, one only needs to find out where quantum mechanics gives way to classical mechanics, and vice versa.
