16Human beings can transmit to one another two fundamentally different
17types of communication: 1) data structures; (2) programs. Programs are
18the same thing as proofs and the same thing as Russellian denotations;
19they have the "sense" that data structures lack. They have the
20power that data does not have, to transmit knowledge rather than
21information. However, it must be understood that programs are highly
22sensitive to their runtime environments and for that reason robustness
23is an extremely difficult problem akin to the robustness of life
24in natural habitats. Human cultural programs are high reliability
25systems which means they are chaotic systems that have phase after
26phase to downshift through (articulated joints over which to roll)
27as they take damage and heal from it by phase-changing back up over
28(computational) time (rewriting mental programs to account for unhandled
29or mishandled conditions while keeping the programs running continuously
30in a degraded state). Human cultural programs are far beyond what
31average or even elite programmers can hope to construct; they have
32been constructed by one-in-a-million prophets who were able to fully
33absorb their entire culture and reprogram themselves based on reverse
34engineering that culture to become generators of self-propagating
35generator-regenerators. Their programs are constructed in such a way
36as to be rewritten generation after generation according to the local
37runtime environment, while preserving an evolving kernel to re-generate
38slightly adapted kernels again and again in new environments -- that is their robustness. It
39is the same as the genetic principle of DNA but most especially the artificially bred/genetically engineered DNA of the antibody-generating . The word kernel is to be
40interpreted as in the algebraic structure: preserved across a morphism.

42Haskell monads show us how algebraic morphisms are as intuitive as
43quasiquotation. Thank you Mr. Quine. But these are all just simple
44recursions. They are just the simplest structures that exist. And
45yet how much more complicated to understand them than the far more
46complex 2+2=4, which even people who are not simple believe to be
47more simple! But 2+2=4 is what we are BRED TO KNOW and recursion
48is WHAT WE ARE MADE OF. We are made of it, and 2+2=4 is made of it
49(one way or another, and there are many different ways, and some are
50simpler than others, and the monads and the quasiquotation, again,
51are the simplest things themselves, simplest to build into a physical
52computational system for example, though these physical computational
53systems have integer specific hardware to handle 2+2=4 JUST LIKE HUMAN
54BIOLOGY DOES and for the same reason, the integer hardware itself has an
55internal computational structure much more complicated than these simple
56recursions, because on a fundamental level in terms of the universe
57and its computational power, the integer operations are doing more
58computation and require more energy. No matter how much simpler they
59seem to us, that is an illusion, and these other more complex recursive
60forms are the simpler structures. But does the human being not have
61hardware to handle recursion too? It does not and neither does modern
62hardware and the reason is this: recursion as an operation is too simple
63to need to exist at the hardware level. Recursion is the (a) simplest
64mathematical interpretation of computation itself no matter the form
65of computation. But there is something equivalent to the optimization
66for recursion and it is the optimization for emulation: the ability to
67reuse a synaptic structure "in the mind of the other" including even
68activating the local hormonal systems in empathy responses. This cannot
69be done recursively but one could still model it as a side-effect of a
70recursive computation.

72There is some kind of shared recursive
73structure between quasiquotation
74
75This power makes them dangerous; for the same reason that
76computer systems control access to the individual mental system
