Are you sure that isn't because it is unfalsifiable?

What about F=ma or V=IR? One of Newton's Laws and Ohm's Law. Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: Force equals mass times acceleration. Ohm's Law: Voltage equals current times resistance. How do those fit within your theory?

Well that right there is a big red flag. We have a lot of people come here telling us that they have some big grand theory. The ones who end up not having anything tangible to provide are the ones who complain that its just too big and complicated to post here. That's a load of bullshit. We've discussed all kind of really complicated topics from intricate biology to deep cosmology. You can use analogies and metaphors to truncate the concepts into shorter stories. And if you can't, that's because your theory isn't described well.
What do you mean by a law being "obeyed by" the history described by the theory? Also, how are you employing a null hypothesis? What have you done to try to prove that there can be a law that does not fit within your theory? Simply force-fitting every theory you come across into your own theory is going to cause it to be rife with false positives. For example, the Bohr model of the atom look kinda like a solar system. You could theorize that there is some overarching phenomenon that has caused atoms and solar systems to behave in the same way. But it's really only a superficial resemblance, and without testing your theory against a null hypothesis, you're only going to be able to convince yourself that the overarching phenomenon actually exists.
That is very unscientific. And your approach is more like metaphysics than it is science. What you are doing is a post-hoc rationalization of your preconceived theory. You're forcing phenomenon to fit within your theory, and when you find something that doesn't, you form the theory around the phenomenon. "The algorithm evolves" you say, but really that's just what you need to do to it to keep it looking like it is alive. With this approach, your theory will not have any predictive power. It will forever be left to being a descriptive process that can only take into account the things that have already been understood. Your theory may inspire people to look for a new place for scientific inquiry, but scientific inquiry will never be a part of your theory, itself.

I don't think he's talking about a mathematical equation. The "formula", itself, is the thing he posted in Message 7:
quote: If you look at his (?) website, you'll find a bunch of other systems that he tries to force-fit into that same pattern: http://theuniversalmatrix.com/en-us/index.html

Hey Louise,
I didn't say that your theory was bullshit, I said that the excuse that it was too long to explain was bullshit. Anyways, you've gone off on a bit of a ramble and posted over 2000 words in your latest replies to me. It's going to take me a little while to catch up, and that's not going to happen right now. I do, though, have an outstanding questions that I don't feel you've answered, and explaining it will help me understand what you mean: When you say that you have not found one single law that is not obeyed by the whole natural Universal History described by the theory, what do you mean by "a law being obeyed by the history"?

Well geez, Louise, I ask you to explain one simple question while I go through the 2000 words that I'm behind you, and then you go on to drop another 700 words at me
![]() I'm not going to go through and quote it, because frankly a lot of it just doesn't make much sense. I think I have a good grasp of what you are proposing, and I find it to be kind of interesting. I wonder, how much did you employ entheogens during your time in the jungle? Anyways, if you want people to take you ideas seriously, then you're going to have to leave descriptive land and start getting into predictions. By that I mean, if you've identified all these cycles and figured out the pattern, then use that knowledge to determine what comes next in our current cycle. If you can make a viable prediction that comes to fruition, then I promise you that more people will take your ideas more seriously. Simply finding patterns in the patterns of the past, for one has no rigor, but also just makes you out to be a kook, no offense. Because humans are very good at noticing patterns (even when they're not there), and if you dive deep into patterns of patterns then you're bound to run into false positives that have no relation to reality. That's why you have to test them against a null hypothesis. Simply determining that you are able to fit a phenomenon into your pattern does not tell you whether or not it actually belongs in your pattern. You never bother to find that out, if it fits then you are happy with it, but you never actually go on to check if it really needs to be included. So then you just keep building into the pattern, and finding more and more stuff that you can fit in there. And then you begin to think that you are on to something HUGE, because of all the implications it has, when you're only fooling yourself by keeping that "bar of inclusion" set too low. What you'll end up with is a Delusion of Grandeur. And then if anyone ever disagrees with your theory, you'll take offense and think they're against you. Without any help, it won't be long before, perceivably, the whole world is conspiring against your ideas. That's when you've gone full blown skitzo. That part of why I ask, seriously: Did you trip on any drugs in the jungle? 'Cause if not, you may be harboring some mental illness. No offense. Oh, I had mentioned other people "like you" earlier that we get coming here from time to time. Check out this other guy: He found patterns in Star Trek episodes, and then he found a pattern in those patters and did a bunch of math and then figured out that the pattern proved a triune god. http://www.evcforum.net/dm.php?control=msg&t=17825 Check it out, what do you think?

Hey Louise, I've been really busy lately. I'm trying to keep up on the reading (you type a lot), and not finding the time to compose a reply. I've got some ideas I want you to consider that I'll reply with later.
In the mean time I do have one quick question:
Have you ever tested for schizophrenia? .

That conclusion does not logically follow. I think it is the Fallacy of Composition, or something similiar. You are assuming that since one natural system behaves one way then all other natural systems must also behave that way.
Sure: 1) From the first cell or living being to humans, all them, are natural systems and their bodies were made by a unique common formula called DNA.
Since I have not concluded anything, there is no affirmation to prove. I'll just sit here comfortably in limbo and wait for you to support your conclusion in a way that is not a logical fallacy. That is, assuming that you are interested in providing logical support for your ideas. I'm still planning on getting to the other stuff too, just FYI.

I have. I don't have any qualities that are associated with schizophrenia. There's a little online test here: http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/schizophrenia.htm Here are the questions that, from what I've seen you post here, I think pertain to you: quote: Try it out, see what you get.

No, those are called descriptions.
But what you have not shown is whether or not that is just a superficial resemblance. Just because two things look alike does not mean they follow the same underlying principles. If you want people to take your ideas seriously, you have to show that the underlying principles are the same. You cannot just point to an apparently superficial resemblance and then expect people to go along with your assumption that there is the same underlying principle governing both. That is why your ideas are not gaining traction. Its not because there is a conspiracy, or because people were brainwashed in school. It is simply because you have not shown that your theory follows from the evidence. Instead, you are expecting people to share your assumption that because they look the same then they must be the same.

Don't ever do that. There's no reason to throw all that work away. Even if you figure out that you were wrong, there's still stuff that can be learned from all that work.
There are other ways. I'm pretty sure I've got your theory understood well enough to summarize it. I'll give it a go when I get some more time. Then you can correct any misunderstanding. Then I can explain why your theory is an unsupported assertion. Then we can talk about the real reasons why people are rejecting it. Then we can talk about what you can do to provide evidence for you assertions and maybe you can make some progress on making your theory more palatable.

He's not talking about cells duplicating, he's talking about gene duplication. DNA replicates itself, but that replication process is imperfect and prone to errors. Whenever DNA replicates itself, the new strand of DNA is never exactly the same as the strand it was duplicated from. Yes, that is not perfect duplication. But those replication errors do lead to new information being added to the DNA.

Wow, is your understanding of evolutions really limited to one individual giving birth to an offspring that is a different species? Evolution happens to populations, not individuals. And its so gradual that nobody would ever really notice. Do you really think that one day a wolf gave birth to a chihuahua?

Because it takes generations, not days. You're basically asking how you can know that your fingernails are growing when they're the same length as they were last night - well, yeah, you're gonna have to wait more than 8 hours to notice. For evolutions, it's going to be centuries.
Well, fossilization is a rare event. How complete are you looking for? Horses, whales, and humans all have a great record of the process, but its never going to be totally complete.

But you cannot tell the difference, just like you cannot see evolution on a "daily basis".
No it hasn't.
Well, we can start with this:
