  PHI 340 Chaos and Paradigms
Paradigms are "universally recognized scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners" (x).
A paradigm provides "a criterion for choosing problems that, while the paradigm is taken for granted, can be assumed to have solutions" (37).
Paradigms are open to "direct inspection" although they cannot in general be formulated adequately (44).

 REMARKABLE COMPLEMENTARITY
Whereas the rational paradigm is well suited to the detailed analysis of specific problems (within a fixed context) it is by the same token ill suited in terms of providing a holistic synthesis of problems (within a dynamic context).
Thus the anti-irrational paradigm tends to be very closely associated with the irrational paradigm during this time.
We have already encountered the rational (analytical) paradigm of the linear level, where opposites in experience are separated and the irrational (holistic intuitive) paradigm of the circular level where opposites in experience are complementary.

 Fractionalization Methods and their Applications to Radiation and Scattering Problems
We have studied the possibility of bringing the tools of fractional calculus and electromagnetic theory together, and have explored and developed the topic of fractional paradigm in electromagnetic theory (see e.g., [1-10]).
Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematics that addresses the mathematical properties of operation of fractional differentiation and fractional integration - operators involving derivatives and integrals to arbitrary non-integer orders (see e.g., [11-13]).
Moreover, since fractional derivatives/integrals are effectively the result of fractionalization of differentiation and integration operators, we have investigated the notion of fractionalization of some other linear operators in electromagnetic theory.

In interpreting reality they were employing what was inherently an integrated mathematical approach in the belief that the (quantitative) mathematical nature of reality complemented a (qualitative) paradigm used to interpret this reality.
The rational paradigm was matched by a mathematical world where only rational quantities were known to exist.
The discovery of 2 and irrational quantities however destroyed this belief for there was now no matching (qualitative) paradigm with which to interpret this strange new world of quantities.

 How To Defang All The Banks Once For All
The purpose of this new upgraded explanation is to close the door on all the ambiguities in the meaning of the fractional reserve banking that may still be extant in the big bad banking world out there, and to nail that closed door so it will never be re-opened again.
In fractional reserve banking, the banker lends depositor's gold coins to a third party just the same but without depositor's permission in order to keep all the interest proceeds to himself.
People who maintain that fractional reserve banking increases overall money supply out of thin air are simply unable to comprehend that it is not possible to have a cake and eat it too.

Their approach was apparently validated in the belief that all number quantities were rational, corresponding in turn to the use of a qualitative paradigm which was also rational.
In complementary terms, phenomena during this stage, as well as taking place in fractional dimensions are experienced as moving - in relative terms - backwards in space and time.
Thus we may entertain the notion of negative, fractional and now irrational quantities and powers (or dimensions) as mathematically valid notions we do not believe that these have practical relevance as a description of physical reality.

 HOW TO DEFANG ALL THE BANKS ONCE FOR ALL
This article is written to clarify the meaning of the fractional reserve banking, for without such clarification the cause of honest money may never take off the ground.
The most likely reason why the incorrect perception of the fractional reserve banking has been shared by too many for too long is that it has probably been cultivated by the fiat banking establishment.....
Under fully developed fiat money system administered by a central bank, fractional reserve banking becomes redundant, and it is used by a central bank only as a useful administrative device; under fiat, there is no need to maintain money supply discipline, anyone with a credit card can create new money.

In order to maintain such monetary rigidity, he must paint fractional reserve banking per se as "diabolical," rather than do as a true scientist would do -- analyze the two different forms of fractional reserve banking, which would demonstrate that the use of real bills is not only not diabolical, but immensely beneficial.
If he were to face up to these quite demonstrable facts, then he would have to face the distasteful realization that his 100% gold monetary paradigm is not mandatory at all.
Hultberg, proposes to prevent the fractional reserve bankers he so ardently defends from once again debauching his new Jerusalem of 'real bills' and from inexorably transforming it into an inflationary Sodom and a speculative Gomorrah of monetized credit instruments...

 Fractional Dimensions
There is perhaps no physical object known to our consciousness in the world whose shape conforms to the Euclidean paradigm.
Every object known to us can be broken down into smaller objects until we reach the principle of quantum mechanics where, with the present status of physics, we have to treat matter in a shapeless form.
One way to think about a fractional dimension is to think, for example, that the Koch curve covers a space more than a straight line and less than a surface.

 MODERN FINANCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The institution of modern banking based on the modern economic theory, has created its potent system of fractional reserve money consolidated by the high-power money emitted by central-banks and transmitted to the system of commercial banks who, in turn, create the low-power banking money (credit money).
The complex mechanics of managing this monetary system is geared to the concept of the inter-bank interest rate and the reserve/deposit ratio, plus central bank's open market operations linked to a structure of rates of return.
Moreover, the bills issued reciprocating these deposits may not exceed the amount of deposit: this primitive principle which bears no comparability to modern banking leads to the denunciation of the institution of fractional reserve money, which is a potent creation of the modern banking system and without which the whole world of finance would collapse.

 The Particle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Quarks have the unusual characteristic of having a fractional electric charge, unlike the proton and electron, which have integer charges of +1 and -1 respectively.
However, if electrons are always regarded as a "whole" or fundamental, as understood by current science, it is extremely difficult to understand and describe their behavior under certain conditions.
The size of each "ripple" is proportional to the unit of electric charge: the smaller the ripple, the smaller the charge, and vice versa.

 The Long Range Dependence Paradigm for Macroeconomics and Finance - Henry, Za (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Abstract: The long range dependence paradigm appears to be a suitable description of the data generating process for many observed economic time series.
This is mainly due to the fact that it naturally characterizes time series displaying a high degree of persistence, in the form of a long lasting effect of unanticipated shocks, yet exhibiting mean reversion.

Transport of tracer particles is studied in a model of three-dimensional, resistive, pressure-gradient-driven plasma turbulence.
In particular, the probability density function (pdf) of the radial displacements of tracers is strongly non-Gaussian with algebraic decaying tails, and the moments of the tracer displacements exhibit superdiffusive scaling.
To model these results we present a transport model with fractional derivatives in space and time.

 Unified Theory: The dual nature of light & matter
Nevertheless, Schroedinger, deBroglie, Dirac, and Einstein, the founders of the quantum theory, preferred a wave structure of matter, and in the last decades researchers have experimentally validated their intuition.
Unfortunately however, mainstream science is still stuck within the 'hard particle' paradigm and prefers to use the term 'wave particle duality', instead of clearly establishing that 'hard particles' are nothing but an old scientific misinterpretation, due to our sense of touch.
For example, for every type of quark there may be a type of particle called a "squark." Again, such reasoning is highly distorted due to the hard particle paradigm.

The result is that colors (or anticolors) cannot be isolated either, but quarks do carry colors, and antiquarks carry anticolors.
Quarks also carry fractional electric charges, but since they are confined within hadrons whose charges are all integral, fractional charges have never been isolated.
