Trump wins decisively, against the expectations of the pollsters and against an opponent who had the support of most of Hollywood and who outspent him by a factor of three. The bookies however consistently had him in the lead at odds of 4/6. Maybe, as with Brexit and the Scottish Secession votes, many who intended to take the tougher and least publicly acceptable option chose not to say so to pollsters.
(The pundits and the bookies didn’t appear to favor Brexit but the bookies adjusted their odds on the basis of just the value of bets placed. However a later analysis showed that a relatively small number of idiots had placed huge bets in the hope of making a quick profit from an expected Remain result whilst a much larger number of people had placed smaller bets on Leave out of hope, and wishful or magical thinking – and it worked.)
Perhaps we should not get too ‘Gary Latchman’ about Trump as a master of Chaos Magic but he certainly seems to understand the relativity and indeterminacy of truth, and the power of both positive and negative forms of thinking, rhetoric, and belief to create real effects.
Trump’s decisive victory has dispelled the hysterical threat of civil unrest or even civil war in the event of an indecisive result. No wonder then, that he kept implying that such a threat existed.
How much of a revolution Trump will accomplish in the next four years? Disgruntled or power hungry members of the middle and upper classes lead all revolutions by appealing to their fellow malcontents and to the great mass of the little people.
On the bright side we can expect a rollback of the hyper-liberal wokeism of identity politics, critical race theory, intersectionality, minority rights, political correctness, cultural relativism, multiculturalism, and mental health obsession that has so distorted free speech and academic debate in the USA and has seeped across the Atlantic to contaminate the UK. That philosophy developed as a weapon used by one faction against another in the bloated and overpopulated intellectual and managerial classes. Now they will find it used against them.
On the darkside we can expect a rollback on Environmentalism in favor of anything that creates more consumption, production, growth, ‘wealth’, and more global climate and ecological catastrophes.
On the grey side, there seems little chance that Trump will Make America Great Again if ‘great’ means a return to the global economic, technological, military, and cultural dominance that America enjoyed in the post WW2 decades. America distinguished itself then by doing things differently. Doing the same things again won’t work. Maybe under Trump, America will try some blend of Neoconservatism but with Chinese style Non-Interventionism in its international relations, prioritizing transactional business over principles.
Project Krakatoa – Global Warming vs Nuclear Winter.
COP29 ended with no substantive agreements at all about dealing with global warming, apart from resolving to aspire to sending some money for mitigation to developing nations. Most of this money probably won’t get paid. Most of the major players did not even bother to attend in person. Humanity has effectively decided to continue burning fossil fuels for as long as it makes short term economic sense and to live with the consequences whilst trying to avoid paying for them.
The amount of carbon humanity has already added to the Earth’s atmosphere will inevitably cause increasingly serious cumulative warming for centuries to come and, collectively, humanity remains determined to continue adding to it.
No scheme of carbon capture currently seems remotely feasible or affordable at the required scale. The political will to endure the immense immediate costs of decarbonising our economies through gigantic investments in renewables and nuclear power does not yet exist.
Don’t worry though, we already have the technology to avert total global catastrophe. When global warming becomes intolerable we can start detonating nuclear weapons in remote areas to throw up enough dust into the atmosphere to cause any required degree of global dimming. We know this works because major volcanic eruptions always cause global dimming and a drop in temperature for a while.
A couple of two hundred megaton blasts every year should do the trick, one in the northern hemisphere, maybe in a remote part of Siberia or Alaska, and another in the southern hemisphere, maybe on some little used Pacific islands or in the empty middle of Australia. This will hardly make a dent in the world’s existing nuclear arsenal.
Okay so we will have to endure a certain amount of dust and radioactive pollution but hopefully this will kill less people than the collapse of agriculture and mass starvation and all the wars that will result from that.
Galaxies at Redshift 18.6!

The James Webb Space Telescope finds galaxies far too close to the supposed big-bang and thus the standard LCDM cosmology model seems in terminal difficulties.

Bimaternal Mice https://www.cell.com/cell-stem-cell/fulltext/S1934-5909(18)30441-7
Having read a few sci-fi novels and feminist tracts in the past I have long wondered about the possibility of fusing two unfertilised eggs to make more female people. It seems that Chinese scientists actually got over halfway there a few years ago and made viable female mice out of two mouse ova. Such proof of principle means that doing this with humans now becomes feasible. (It doesn’t work with two sperms because neither contains the additional cellular machinery to make a viable embryo.)
Would all-female high-tech societies out-compete other societies eventually? Perhaps they would because of greater cooperativeness, better and less destructive behaviour, greater conscientiousness, and more patient military drone operation.
Maybe in a century or two, if we still have any sort of civilisation, we may have a women only planet.
Dean Radin Interview. https://youtu.be/7OGJSULpwVc?si=5CmM9PPB6yir3bUp
The result here seems somewhat shambolic, Dean promises further extracts from our long audio skype in later episodes.
Mandrakes Circe has blossomed early, whilst Boris and Igor have taken their time this season, so maybe they will not achieve cross pollination between them. We have few insects in the greenhouses of Chateaux Chaos at this time of year but I have a tiny paintbrush on standby.
Robert Anton Wilson biography!
The definitive biography of the life and times and astonishing ideas of this towering countercultural giant has arrived. I feel honoured to have made a small contribution to it.
EPOCH news.
Mandrake of Oxford recently sent me slimline versions of the Esotericon and Portals of Chaos card deck, and a more sensibly sized edition of the great Triple Grimoire itself.
I have to say that they both handle much more easily than the first edition and all the colour plates look great in the new format. Matt and I did get a bit carried away with the format of the first edition, not realising that the resulting 2kg package would create logistical and carriage cost nightmares.
I’ll let you know when they become available from Mandrake.
Have a splendid Festive Season.

Epoch
The Esotericon and Portals of Chaos has temporarily gone out of print.
This definitive Grimoire of the early 21st century has become a collector’s item that now occasionally changes hands between the cognoscenti at extraordinary prices.
I originally published it privately and then used my commercial business to distribute it. After retiring from that business I handed the distribution of the remaining copies to Mandrake of Oxford.
Now that the stock has gone, Mandrake plan a further edition in a more compact format and also a more conventionally sized card deck to accompany the book. Details will follow when ready.
Politics.
Flabby fish-faced fanny fumbler Alex Salmond croaks it, and unsurprisingly the Scottish ‘government’ declines to repatriate the body of this ‘Titan of Independence’ or give it a state funeral in Edinburgh. Salmond never attempted to make an economically coherent case for Scottish independence. He merely used tartan romanticism in pursuit of his own political career and after resigning in disgrace he split the independence movement and formed a new party to continue his career. Nicola Sturgeon also resigned in disgrace when investigations began into who had their hands in the till. Both of them appear to have prioritized their own political careers above all else. I doubt that either of them believed that Scottish Secession made any kind of economic or geopolitical sense. So hopefully the whole daft idea will remain kicked into the long grass indefinitely. Hurrah! I love the highlands and have blood and treasure there.
In the UK we elected Boris Johnson, knowing that he had a dubious character, in order to sort out the intractable post Brexit-Vote shambles. He did achieve a workable result of sorts, and then we retired him soon after for bad behaviour.
Both Boris Johnson and Donald Trump present wishful thinking and over-promising populism with scant regard for what many would regard as ‘facts’. Moreover they do it with disarming buffoonery. In this media dominated age, democratic politics seems to have evolved from ‘the art of the possible’ towards a chaos-magical thinking that can (sometimes) turn pretended beliefs into reality.
Narcissistic Machiavellian Psychopaths make ghastly dictators but they can make a reasonable job of governing democracies that have a suitable suite of checks and balances. As a self-serving egoist without any principles, Donald Trump seems unlikely to initiate any war or policy that he thought might put his own popularity rating at risk.
As a lawyer turned career politician Kamala Harris remains an unknown quantity, who knows whether egoism or ideology motivates her.
Domestic policy differences between the candidates for POTUS seem minor and neither candidate will manage to do anything revolutionary if elected because of the awesome inertia of vested interests and the politico-legalistic paralysis that has built up in the American system. American presidents have some executive freedom in foreign policy but not much domestically. So the election has become contested largely on grounds of style and identity.
America appears close to producing the worst possible result – a non-decisive result.
Thus, if in doubt, don’t vote. Substantial abstentions in favour of ‘neither of the above’ will at least reduce either candidate’s opportunity to declare the election stolen by dirty tricks, it will reduce identity based polarisations, and weaken conspiracy theories. Low turnouts in open democracies signify societies at peace with themselves, and a healthy scepticism about politicians.
Towards Net Zero Everything.
In a Zero Sum Game all player’s gains come from other player’s losses. As pressure on the world’s environment and the resources it provides becomes intense, politicians find it increasingly difficult to pretend that economics can still function as a Positive Sum Game, in which everyone can gain something.
We have built fragile economic systems predicated on debt serviced by growth.
As resource depletion and waste pollution accelerate worldwide, growth falters, citizens can only use more resources at the expense of other citizens, and nations can only use more resources at the expense of other nations.
The newly elected UK Labour government preaches Growth! Growth! Growth! It will not happen now. At best they will merely achieve some redistribution from the moderately wealthy to the slightly less wealthy, and from the private sector to the public sector.
We need politicians to stop promoting growth through resource consumption. We need scientists and technicians to create substitutes for growth through improving the use of reduced resources. We need better stuff that lasts, not just more stuff. Quality not quantity.
We should concentrate on INNOVATION, RESORCE FRUGALITY, and LEISURE rather than work.
Otherwise we will end up in ever more conflicts and wars which become Negative Sum Games in which everyone loses.
Matter – Antimatter Symmetry in a Hypersphere.
The previous post, Septblog 2024, shows how the spacetime worldlines of all galaxies form the great circles of a Hopf Fibration of the Hyperspherical universe. A Hopf Fibration will exhibit a symmetry breakage and have either a left chiral or right chiral form. This universe probably has a left chiral twist to it because of the several examples of symmetry breakage in favour of left handed forms within it. For examples, galaxies have a propensity to lie in left handed tetrahedral configurations with respect to their three nearest neighbouring galaxies. Spiral galaxies also seem to exhibit a preference for anticlockwise rotation. Most biologically active molecules in the terrestrial biota that have possible chiral forms tend to use only the left handed forms. The smallest fundamental particle in the universe, the neutrino, occurs only in left handed spin form, and hence the weak force, responsible for the burning of stars and nuclear transmutation, only involves left handed particles.
We can view a hypersphere as having two 360 degree twists in all the spacetime paths or geodesics within it. One twist joins the paths into circles, the other twists all the circles together so that any one of them passes inside of all the others.
But what about the most profound asymmetry of all in the universe – why does it not seem to contain equal amounts of matter and antimatter?
Very small amounts of antimatter do occasionally appear to us, for example some radioactive decays produce positrons (anti-electrons), and violent smash ups of particles in particle accelerators can produce anti-matter versions of many types of particle. Some physicists find it convenient to model anti-particles as particles going backwards in time, and this description seems plausible and self-consistent. It seems that if you hit particles hard enough some may get kicked backwards in time. Fascinatingly, anti-neutrinos always have a right handed spin, exactly as you would expect for a time reversed left handed spin neutrino.
Now we can take a single circular spacetime geodesic to represent the path of a single immortal proton around the universe. (Okay I know stars can transmute protons to neutrons, but they can eventually revert back to protons. We can create anti-protons in particle accelerators but only at the expense of creating a proton at the same time and the created antiproton will annihilate a proton eventually, so the total number of protons remains constant for a finite but unbounded ‘eternity’.)
As the proton follows a geodesic around the hyperspherical universe it becomes ‘rotated’ : -
By analogy if you stand anywhere on the equator of the rotating Earth, then twelve hours later your orientation will have rotated by 180 degrees, relative to your starting position. Even if the Earth did not rotate, Antipodeans (people on the other side of the planet) stand upside-down with respect to observers.
Now in a hypersphere a body will become rotated by 180 degrees in all dimensions of space and time as it vorticitates to its antipode position. This will include an inversion of all of its spins including those of electromagnetic and nuclear charge that have imaginary time components. Thus a vorticitation to its antipode will turn a left handed proton into a right handed antiproton relative to an observer at its ‘start’ position.
The photons of light act as their own antiparticles and they interact in exactly the same way with matter as with antimatter, so we cannot tell by simply looking whether distant galaxies consist of one or the other. Plus light does not follow the geodesics of the hyperspherical vorticitation, it flies, if you like, ‘tangentially’ to them and thus remains subject to a ‘deceleration’ which causes redshift in direct proportion to distance travelled.
You might ask, what about particles or galaxies only halfway to an observers antipode, do they consist of the same sort of stuff as the observer or do they consist of some sort of halfway stuff between matter and antimatter? Well in a sense they do from the observer’s initial perspective but they will look the same because light does not differentiate, and if an observer attempted to go a vast distance anywhere in a powered spacecraft, the power expended by the spacecraft to get there would effectively rotate it and the observer into a configuration that matched the local conditions, so observers will find what they recognise as ‘matter’ everywhere.
Thus it doesn’t really matter that the other side of the universe consists of antimatter, but at least we have a self-consistent explanation of the local matter-antimatter asymmetry.
Fantasy Space Fleets.
(Of course I only make these for the grandkids, ahem, but a man needs a break from relentless research in the conjuratorium and the maths lab, plus one may as well start one’s second childhood early to make the most of it.)
As we prepare to close down the lodge on a remote Welsh shore for the winter, the last Lithonian ship of the year emerges from the beach detritus, recycled vape accessories, and bits of metal scrap in the space yards. Herewith the Lithonian Experimental Systems Vessel: -
Whilst configured as a testbed platform, it may have to serve as a warship if diplomacy between Lithonia and Skaron fails. In the planned scenario, the old Skaron Empire relies on technologies and ancient ships that have not changed for millennia whilst the upstart Lithonian rebels have innovated at speed and have a fleet of peculiar unique vessels at varying levels of sophistication and ability. The rule structure of the eventual game may get a bit complicated………..

Welcome to the upgraded site. The new ‘Hamburger’ icons in each section open up their various subsections.
The Geometry, Topology, and Chirality of the Universe.
This crude visual aid for a private lecture on the geometry of the universe.
Shows how a sphere can stereographically project onto a plane.
(Hockey ball with many drill holes for galaxies, black paint and a torch.)
This gives a lower dimensional representation of how a hypersphere can stereographically project into a sphere. Imagine that the plane into which the sphere projects represents a plane bisecting a sphere. Although this reduced dimensional visual aid represents a hypersphere by a sphere, and a sphere by a plane, it does show how distances in a hypersphere will become exaggerated to observers who assume that they inhabit a gravitationally flat universe and deceive them into hypothesising an expansion driven by some mysterious dark energy.
See Hypersphere Cosmology equations 16 and 17 and Septblog 2024 on this site, which make a seemingly overwhelming case for the Hypersphere model of the universe.
This month’s Apophenia concerns the Chirality (handedness) of the Universe.
We can represent a Hypersphere by a Hopf Fibration which shows it as decomposed into a fibre bundle of circles each of which passes inside all of the other circles. In Hypersphere Cosmology the galaxies all Vorticitate around the circles of the Hopf Fibration. This gives the universe no net angular momentum although it allows it to conform to the Godel metric. The circles of the Hopf Fibration each pass within all of the other circles.
Few if any seem to have noticed that a hypersphere submits to two possible Hopf Fibration modes as shown in the following picture.
These keyring models lay flattened onto a surface for clarity, but in reality, the rings can lie a bit more separate from each other to form more of a spherical type of configuration.
Notice that the two Fibrations remain distinct, and we cannot superimpose them by any form of re-orientation in three dimensions, they constitute mirror images of each other. The one on the left has a Left Handed Fibration and the one on the right has a Right Handed Fibration.
Which chirality corresponds to the universe we inhabit?
Almost certainly we inhabit a universe with a Left Chiral Vorticitation - a Left Handed Universe!
The supporting evidence seems strong but kind of weird: -
1) The weak nuclear force remains exclusively left handed. All neutrinos (the simplest matter particles) rotate anticlockwise.
2) Most terrestrial chiral biomolecules show a preference for left handedness.
3) Rotating spiral galaxies all over the universe show a preference for left handed (anticlockwise) rotation.
4) Galaxies all over the universe seem predominantly aligned with respect to their nearest three neighbouring galaxies, in left handed tetrahedral orientations.
Just how the anticlockwise (left handed) vorticitation of the entire universe could induce these mysterious microcosmic, midi-cosmic, and macrocosmic symmetry breakages remains an interesting question, yet it seems a fair bet to predict from Hypersphere Cosmology that this universe has a Left-Chiral Vorticitation. It will however probably take a lot of long timescale observation of the relative movements of far distant galaxies and some heavyweight computer analysis to confirm this.
Topology clarification. The keyring models of the Hopf Fibration do perhaps not make the left or right twists of the fibre bundle entirely apparent. We can easily make it more apparent with three pieces of string. Three pieces of string can represent the spacetime world lines of three bodies in a hypersphere.
So, flip one piece of card over twice in the same direction to rotate it by 360 degrees and then free the ends from the cards and tie them together. This makes three interlinked circles, showing how within a hypersphere all particles and bodies move along great circles which (over vast timescales) all pass within each other.
It works with any number of strings, and the result looks oddly similar to various mystical figures from the Vesica Piscis to various Celtic and Tibetan knotwork designs.

FLAT UNIVERSE THEORY DEAD!
BIG BANG THEORY TRASHED!
HYPERSHHERE COSMOLOGY VALIDATED!
Herewith the results of plotting 732 data points of Type 1a Supernova redshift and apparent magnitude distance, dawn from the Wolfram data depository: -
https://datarepository.wolframcloud.com/resources/Type-Ia-Supernova-Data/
In this diagram, we have calculated flux luminosity of Supernovae from measured Apparent Magnitudes and used the inverse square principle to derive Apparent Distances. This creates the blue points which seem to show that distances start to climb far beyond the Hubble Radius as redshifts rise past z = 0.6. The supernovae have high magnitudes which means they seem far too faint and hence appear strangely far away. This has led to the curious theoretical ‘fix’ of adding an accelerating expansion to the standard cosmological model, driven by some mysterious ‘dark energy’.
Hypersphere Cosmology attributes the huge Apparent Distances to Hyperspherical Lensing in which the small positive curvature of a universe finite and unbounded in space and time causes us to observe it in Stereographic Projection. In other words, these seemingly vast distances arise as an optical illusion in a spacetime that has a small curvature to it arising from its own gravity. When we apply a correction for this optical illusion, we obtain the Actual Distances shown by the orange points. (see equations 16 and 17)
From this we can easily see that at redshift z =1, which corresponds to halfway to Antipode, supernovae lie at 6E+25 metres from an observer, and that the Hypersphere of the Universe thus has an antipode distance of 1.2E+26 meters or 13 billion light years, and that a calculations of antipode distance from any of the Actual Distance points gives a value fairly close to this. The points shown cluster around ideal curves rather than lie exactly on them because of the known uncertainties and inaccuracies in magnitude measurements. We can measure redshifts to a much higher degree of certainty and accuracy.
Remarkably, applying the correction for hyperspherical lensing restores the relationship between redshift and distance that Hubble derived for low redshift galaxies. Hypersphere cosmology attributes this relationship to the small positive curvature of the universe which gives rise to a deceleration A which acts on light in transit. (see equation 6)
In Hypersphere Cosmology the small positive curvature of the universe gives rise to both cosmological redshift and hyperspherical lensing. The hypotheses of a gravitationally ‘flat’ universe expanding from a big bang and then undergoing an accelerating expansion become unnecessary, and most likely wrong. We should always seek the most simple and economical explanations.

Politics
The exemplary sentences handed out to those convicted of offences in the recent anti-immigration protests certainly seem to say something interesting about Judicial Independence in the UK.
Our glorious new labour government has wasted no time in paying off its trade union legions with other people’s money. We can expect it to levy swingeing taxes on the relatively wealthy elderly at the forthcoming budget. The labour party doesn’t seek the votes of the old because they have long memories of past labour governments.

Cosmology News - JADES-GS-z14-0. The crises in Cosmology continue to multiply, this object should not exist according to the current conventional theory.
The Big-Bang LCDM model now seems in deep trouble, the post big bang cosmic dark ages it predicted seem to have almost disappeared.
On the other hand, Hypersphere Cosmology predicts that galaxies at all stages of evolution will exist everywhere and everywhen in a non-expanding universe finite but unbounded in space and time, in which no big bang ever occurred.

This is Chaos. – The book. The publishers have all the manuscripts from the 15 contributors. Publication date probably July 2025 with pre-orders possible from this September. Herewith the cover design.
Starship Kargom – For Lughnasadh Eisteddfod I could not resist making this retro-futuristic fantasy creation, the universes first known example of a 3D Druid Starship, crafted from the usual beach detritus and scrap metal fittings, replete with external trilithon warp drives.
Disinformation creates widespread rioting across England and Northern Ireland.
Since at least the millennium successive British Governments and main Political Parties have become increasingly economical with the truth and heavy on failed wishful thinking. They have admitted vast numbers of Legal Immigrants into the UK and have concealed their reasons for doing so.
I do feel sorry for the police who have to field the brickbats and petrol bombs arising from bad political decisions.
Economic growth in developed countries has faltered with little prospect of it ever returning to post WW2 levels. Energy has become expensive, and globalisation has offshored manufacturing and capital to the newly resource hungry developing world. Instead of adapting to this new reality, most UK politicos have tried to maintain an illusion of growth by such myopic mechanisms as the mass importation of foreign labour to depress training and wage costs and to inflate property prices, underfunding public services, and selling off public utilities to under-investors and asset strippers.
In the UK the indigenous unskilled and semi-skilled classes have mainly borne the brunt of these policies in terms of inadequate wages, deteriorating services, poor or unaffordable accommodation, and a breakdown of social cohesion and trust. No wonder shoplifting has become rampant in some areas. A million people of working age now decline to work because the minimum wages on offer barely exceed what moderate efforts at benefit claimancy and maybe some casual interface with the grey and black economies can yield. The skilled and professional classes, property owners, and the elderly wealthy have seen growth in the value of their assets but in a country with a now decadent and stagnant economy. Thus, we become an increasingly deeply divided society.
The British narrowly voted for Brexit largely in the hope of reducing immigration but the politicos decided to interpret this by replacing EU immigrants with whom the British had much common culture, with even more commonwealth and other immigrants with whom they often have far less in common.
The issue of illegal immigrants has become a smokescreen for the legal immigration of more than ten times their number. Britain can perhaps aspire to 300K new house builds per year, but it cannot comfortably accommodate 700K legal immigrants per annum.
One in seven voters at the last general election voted for Reform UK on an explicitly anti-immigration platform, but the peculiarities of our electoral system delivered them only 5 MPs and the Labour party a huge majority. The Labour Party (for whom only a third of the electorate voted) lost about 5 seats to pro-Islamic bloc voters, ostensibly over middle eastern issues.
Branding all the protestors and rioters as Far Right Racists seems doubly disingenuous and foolish. The majority of them have angry concerns about their own prospects and angry concerns about cultures opposed to British values taking over large swathes of towns and cities particularly in the north. Culturalism rather than Racism lies at the root of this. History shows that multi-ethnic societies can work, but multi-cultural societies cannot. If these concerns remain unaddressed and demonised, then things will get worse, and those with legitimate concerns will increasingly adopt the labels slapped upon them.
Britain has absorbed and integrated many small immigrant groups over the centuries. Yet in recent decades it has permitted the immigration of very large numbers determined to maintain authority structures, lifestyles, and moralities opposed to British values. They may resist assimilation for generations.
Genuine fascism begins when the narratives of blood and soil unite. Currently the mainly white middle class UK Green Lobby ignores the ecological effects of immigration and serious overpopulation on this once green and pleasant land, as does the small mainly white working class Far Right. That climate may change, particularly as the climate itself changes.
