1940s 

AQ and Robert meet in Hawaii, era of longshore strikes, haole – non-haole tension, Pearl Harbor as a lesion on retina, trauma is not languid but an engine of the soul, where the story leaves AQ and Robert we pick up with John Ford and Jack Fletcher (J.F) – recording the Pacific Theatre – you have this paranoiac siniy/goluboy resonance arc from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, with the Marshall program sucking up the Atlantic, the paperclips, and pushing the envelope out Pacific / IT’S ALL ABOUT CUBIST PACIFIC….    Cubist in longitude … cubist in latitude…. Memory is cubist… perspectival…. shimmershift….  Sphera…. It’s Underworld… It’s Americana… but its where the American frontier is Pacific…. Its oceanic…. Its the fracturing deep of the psyche-soul  out in the ocean…. It was always in the ocean….   The primal return….  see The Eye (Nabokov, 1930)…extension from Notes from the Underground (Dostoevsky) on optical inertias.

Future 2049 –   Lunar travel

The Dyadic BiSolarian Era of China and the U.S.   || human relation to past and future as relation to moon and sun…. changes whole fields of science, where progress is not a line, but gravitational, PTSD, trauma, psychotherapy.

Opening with a scene flying over the Pacific Ocean, east Asia, a scene interpellating the opening of Everything Under the Heavens (Howard W. French);  ‘The Soul of the New Machine’;  Ritter’s ‘The Ocean of the Soul’; Solaris (Stanislaw Lem); and Ronald D. Laing in Bubbles (Sloterdijk). Why is your life a string of nuclear sunsets…an explosion of a chimera…a dance inside the mind… it is not an age of great power competition, it is an age of great soul competition.  The Russian Orthodox Nuclear Priests against the Soul of Containment U.S.  | the White Mosque pristine on the Straits of Malacca | the twins born from a God over the Pacific warring dyadically with each other, tianxia – and the return of the moon and the sun. Soul dust. A large bibliography of the soul to go through (03 May 2020 – )  Frank Westerman draws the reader into the euphoria of the Russian Revolution, as art and reality were bent to radically new purposes. Writers of renown, described by Stalin as engineers of the soul were encouraged to sing the praises of canal and dam construction under titles such as Energy and The Hydraulic Power Station. However, their enthusiasm–spontaneous and idealistic at first–soon became an obligatory song of praise as the massive waterworks led to slavery. Combining investigative journalism with literary history, Westerman examines the books and lives of writers caught in the wheels of the system. The resonance | siniys and goluboys from the primal explosion threw out a suspended cloud, a dancing array of microcosmic worldviews, an Inglehart-Welzel cultural map, but the soul inertia of each entity bled, blurred into one another, the most prominent dyads inside the multipolar drift – China – US; Russia – Saudi; Saudi – Iran; India – Pakistan and on and on in eternis, were heat and dissipation on Pacific Canvas.  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldview)

Identification, friend or foe (IFF) is a radar-based identification system designed for command and control. It uses a transponder that listens for an interrogation signal and then sends a response that identifies the broadcaster. It enables military and civilian air traffic control interrogation systems to identify aircraft, vehicles or forces as friendly and to determine their bearing and range from the interrogator. (Radar Energy Warfare and the Challenges of Stealth Technology, Bahman Zohuri, 2020) The subject of If This Is A Man is not how could men do such things, but what was it that they did, how did it fall to some prisoners (‘the saved’) to endure it and others (‘the drowned’) not to, what is left when everything but the barest capacity to endure, the power only ‘to refuse our consent’, is driven out, and by what means are some still able to impress on others the suggestion of a world ‘not corrupt, not savage, not extraneous to hatred and terror…a remote possibility of good.’ (Primo Levi)  Would we relay an actual EAM (Emergency Action Message) – one that directed us to order a nuclear strike – if we received one? (The Atlantic, The Lasting Psychological Stress of Nuclear Deterrence)

IF both sides refrain from attacks in outer space, they both benefit by being able to use their space assets to project power both in times of peace and in times of war. However, given the relative lack of defenses in space and the inability of spacecraft to run or to hide, attacks in space can quickly degrade an opponent’s ability to project power and give an attacker a significant advantage (albeit temporary) in a ground theater of war. Therefore, the game rules reflect that the payout of cooperation is higher than the payout of conflict, but ground war introduces a potential payout for “defection” —attacks on military space assets can cause periods of vulnerability in the opponent’s ability to project power into a ground theater of war. | Prospect Theory: that while humans are risk averse when they are happy with the status quo, they become risk seeking when dissatisfied with the status quo. (Triezenberg, 2014) “Since war is not an act of senseless passion, but is controlled by its political object, the value of the object must determine the sacrifices to be made for it in magnitude and also in duration” (Von Clausewitz)

If it does not already have an OTH-B radar covering the ——- Sea, it is likely to have one eventually. In coming years, — will almost certainly desire and achieve a set of OTH-B radars covering its entire maritime periphery. OTH radars can benefit when stable, warm air layers—particularly in the troposphere and ionosphere—produce atmospheric ducts that enable radio signals to follow Earth’s curvature for extended distances. These conditions are sometimes present off —-‘s coast.

The five considerations that must always be kept before you when gauging the strength of the two sides and investigating the true conditions, so as to arrive at a good grasp of the situation: (1) the Way; (2) the heavens; (3) the earth; (4) the field commander; and (5) the regulations. The “Way,” by definition, refers to whatever allows the people and their superior to be of one will, and therefore willing to live or die with him, undeterred by danger. The heavens refers to night and day, heat and frost, in the seasonal rounds. The earth refers to the relative distances, the gradient and openness of the terrain, insofar as this makes for life or death…So, to gauge the two sides and investigate the true conditions,  I say, I know who will win or lose, depending on which ruler has the Way, which commander is the abler, whose side earth and heaven favor, whose rules and orders are obeyed, whose troops are the stronger, whose soldiers, better trained, whose rewards and sanctions are more clearly ordained.

If you employ the commanders who heed my advice you will win, so retain them. Commanders who do not will be defeated, however, so dismiss them. If you’ve calculated the advantages, and so have come to see the wisdom of heeding my advice, then create a favorable strategic disposition, which will, in turn, assist you with matters beyond it. “Strategic disposition” means wresting advantages from the conditions at hand and controlling contingencies. Warfare is the art of deception. So when you can, feign incapacity, And when deploying troops, appear to have no such plans. When close, seem to them to be far away, and when far away, seem near. If the enemy commander is avid for advantage, use it to lure him in; If he is volatile, seize upon that; If he is solid, prepare well for battle; If he is strong, evade him. If he is angry, rile him. If he is unpresuming, feed his arrogance. If he is rested, tire him out. If his troops are like family, drive a wedge between them. Attack him when he’s unprepared; appear suddenly when he least expects it. (Sun Tzu)

Blue Peenemunde shivered around them in all directions, a dream of concrete and steel masses reflecting the noon heat.

It’s all writing towards this one image, and its arrestment, it’s a pacific blue, all colliding siniy and goluboy resonance, it’s cubistic, tectonic, catastropha, lines that are waves of time, light, heat, speed, numnuck skullshatter, skellyboned, underworldal, overworldal, Ford’s encompasser, the firmament, moon-Joyce- solarine. And what if Ford had had Basinski? Vivian and Ondine, there’s something in it, underoceanal, merging, rhythmic siniy/goluboynetics and the eternal recurrence of the dyadising soul. The Human Form is Neural Mirrors of Gravity Waves, air currents, von Karman velocities, deepnesses blown in with the blueprints come ascream, shimmer scatters of skinwork
