Entropy can be defined as the antithesis of well-formed true reports that agree with each other and with the material facts accessible through the experience of one or more competent observers. The abstract convergence (strictly formal, logical agreement) of true narrative representations (TNRs)—ordinary valid reports of facts of experience—makes t...

... attention still more specifically on the massive redundancy of the pragmatic mapping formula with respect to the neuroarchitecture of the brain, consider next the iconic mapping of the body onto the sensory, motor, and premotor strips-or the so-called "homunculi" of the brain. It has long been known that the iconic representation of the body itself with respect to its parts and motor functions, as seen in Figure 7, consists of pairs of mirror image maps whereby each half of the body is mapped to the opposite side of the brain roughly in inverted form, excepting the face and mouth which are mapped in an upright orientation. It is noteworthy that the tongue and throat are set apart at what seems to be the highest rank of the hierarchy of conscious and volitional representational systems of the brain-roughly corresponding to the top half of the whole brain with the bottom half, more or less, devoted to autonomic functions or to ones that come under the control of the, literally, higher semiotic systems-especially those having to do with linguistic representation (note the position of the tongue). ...

... cortical area devoted to the sensory icon of the body corresponds roughly to the region defined by the quarter spherical projection of the red axons of Figure 6, while the motor functions are similarly mapped to the cortical region roughly corresponding to a similar projection of the dark blue axons shown in Figure 6. This can be seen by comparing Figures 6 and 7. What is less well known is that a similar iconic mapping of the body seems to hold for the premotor regions defined by the lighter blue axons on either side of the brain in Figure 6 [62]. ...

... can be seen by comparing Figures 6 and 7. What is less well known is that a similar iconic mapping of the body seems to hold for the premotor regions defined by the lighter blue axons on either side of the brain in Figure 6 [62]. Thus, it would appear that there are three increasingly complex iconic projections of the whole body onto the cerebral cortex rather than merely two as seen in the traditional picture summed up in Figure 7-going back to Penfield's initial discoveries [65,66] which continue to be amplified [62] with respect now to a still higher symbolic icon of the body. Indeed, it cannot reasonably be denied that the icons of the body in the cortex are all symbolic, only at different levels of abstractness, generality, and diversity of the dynamic semiotic functions served. ...
Context 6
... each case, with respect to command and control functions of volitional acts especially involving the corpus callosum (compare Figures 6 and 7), the mapping of the body appears to be proportional to the diversity of functions subserved-that is, more cortical area is devoted to those portions of the body that are used for a greater variety of functions with special emphasis given to ones coming under intentional and volitional control. Referring to Figure 6, with the work of Esopenko and colleagues in mind [62], it can also be argued that there is a premotor icon involved especially in representing possible actions; a motor icon enabling intentional movements of the corresponding movable parts of the body; and there is also a sensory icon capable of reporting movements as they are carried out. ...

... The consequence of trusting in lies as if they were ordinary true representations, provided all else is held equal, is universally damaging to all meaningful sign systems. In biological systems, the most evident consequences of violating ordinary truth relations come in the clinical outcomes that show up as disorders, diseases, and death as argued in a series of papers that I wrote and/or edited for the physics journal of Entropy (Oller, 2010(Oller, , 2014a(Oller, , 2014b and as Shaw (2017) explained in his book about Neural Dynamics of Neurological Disease.

This editorial presents the main questions for volume 3, issue 1 of the IJVTPR, titled Injuries, Causes, & Treatments. The focus is on the clinical outcomes still unfolding from billions of injections of the COVID-19 “vaccines” — the “synthetic gene therapies” administered, according to the Pharmaceutical Technology trackers in 2022, in more than 13 billion doses to more than 5 billion persons at the time of this writing. What are (1) the components in those injections that are (2) causing the observed clinical outcomes, and, (3) what treatments are possible for people who have received one or more of the injections?[1] Yuval Noah Harari has said that in a hundred years “the corona virus epidemic” will be marked “as the moment when a new regime of surveillance took over, especially, surveillance under the skin”. He says it enables overseers to “collect biometric data, analyze it, and understand people better than they understand themselves”. Or, as Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum put it, the power of “genetic editing” redefines everyone who receives it. Just so, the COVID era has elevated the subject-matter of this journal to a higher level than could even have been imagined in the summer of 2019 when it was being conceptualized. The Inaugural Issue was well underway before March 11, 2020 when the World Health Organization proclaimed the corona pandemic. The first issue of the journal would not appear until July 15, 2020, only months before what Schwab would call the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”. Is the “Fourth” one — with transformative gene editing at its core — an intended resuscitation of the “Third Reich”? Who could have imagined beforehand and who can now comprehend the events that are confronting us all?

Results from the 2019/2020 nationwide Control Group Survey of Unvaccinated Americans (CGS) show that those refusing vaccines are thriving while those accepting them are being injured and met with a multiplicity of grave injuries as well as sudden unexpected death. This survey quantified the long-term health risks of total vaccine avoidance against the health outcomes observed in the 99.74% vaccine-exposed American population. Based upon the sample sizes for the controls vs. the exposed population, the p-values and odds ratios evidence the astronomical odds against the innocence of vaccines as the actual cause of well over 90% of the disabling and life-threatening chronic conditions suffered by Americans. The true “controls” (calculated to represent 0.26% of the population in 2020) have established the baseline disease risk incurred by those without exposure to vaccination. The null hypothesis, that no significant difference would be found between vaccinated vs. unvaccinated persons in heart disease, diabetes, digestive disorders, eczema, asthma, allergies, developmental disabilities, birth defects, epilepsy, autism, ADHD, cancers, and arthritis, is rejected with overwhelming statistical confidence and power in every single contrast. Because 99.74% of the U.S. population is vaccine-exposed, published national disease rates invariably reflect the frequency of observed negative outcomes arising from exposure to vaccines. The Control Group comparison graphs lead to the inescapable conclusion, and near mathematical certainty, that vaccine exposure is the actual cause of the observed disparity in health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. Vaccines are NOT moving the population toward better health, as suggested by the World Health Organization and the US Department of Health & Human Services, but rather toward epidemic levels of lifelong debilitating chronic disorders.
... A real grammar is the sort that enables a person to understand and use that particular language to express meaningful content in ways that make that content more or less accessible to other persons who also know the same language. At the very heart of such systems -as has been logically and mathematically demonstrated (proved) in various ways by different authors (Peirce, 1897;Tarski, 1941Tarski, , 1949Oller, 1993Oller, , 2010 -is what has been called the process of pragmatic mapping (Oller, 1975;Naremore, 1985;Tsagkas et al., 2014;Zhao et al., 2018). The main objective of this chapter is to illustrate and explain that process in a little greater depth. ...
... Whereas lexical items can be combined with each other syntactically to create higher units of meaning in phrases, clauses, and so forth, for any given lexical item the determination of its semantic value, and its syntactic function in any given string can only be initiated in one or more TNRs where a pragmatic value can be determined. The gist of this claim had been mathematically proved by Peirce in various ways (1897Peirce in various ways ( , 1909, later by Tarski (1941Tarski ( , 1949, and more recently by Oller (1993aOller ( , 2010Oller ( , 2014b, but the simplest demonstration of that sort that I have been able to devise is the one given below in this chapter in paragraph 2.88. It also shows, incidentally, that fixing the value of the internal components of lexical items, also requires one or more TNRs. ...
... It follows that any such imaginary part of any representation depends on prior knowledge grounded in a TNR -a valid perceptual representation of whatever must be supplied to comprehend the fiction, correct the error, replace the lie with the truth of the matter, or convert the nonsense to a meaningful representation -to enable any determined interpretation of that string, or to complete the missing or correct the invalid components in any errors, lies, or nonsensical forms. As a result, all else being held equal, the proof that no fiction has the unique logical properties of a TNR must generalize to the less well-formed strings consisting of errors, lies, or some gradation of nonsense (Oller, 1993;Oller, 2010. 26 As we will see later on, the logical sequence of milestones 10-12 in which fictions, errors, and lies are comprehended and can be explained by the maturing child is also accounted for in the theory of abstraction. ...

The human language capacity stands at the very top of the intellectual abilities of us human beings, and it ranks incommensurably higher than the intellectual powers of any other organism or any robot. It vastly exceeds the touted capacities of "artificial intelligence" with respect to creativity, freedom of will (control of thoughts and words), and moral responsibility. These are traits that robots cannot possess and that can only be understood by human beings. They are no part of the worlds of robots and artificial intelligences, but those entities, and all imaginable fictions, etc., are part of our real world... True narrative representations (TNRs) can express and can faithfully interpret every kind of meaning or form in fictions, errors, lies, or nonsensical strings seeming in any way to be representations. None of the latter, however, can represent even the simplest TNR ever created by an intelligent person. It has been proved logically, in the strictest forms of mathematical logic, that all TNRs that seem to have been produced by mechanisms, robots, or artificial intelligence, must be contained within a larger and much more far-reaching TNR that cannot be explained mechanistically by any stretch of imagination. These unique constructions of real intelligence, that is, genuine TNRs, (1) have the power to determine actual facts; (2) are connected to each other in non-contradictory ways, and (3) are generalizable to all contexts of experience to the extent of the similarities of those contexts up to a limit of complete identity. What the logicomathematical theory of TNRs has proved to a fare-thee-well is that only TNRs have the three logical properties just iterated. No fictions, errors, lies, or any string of nonsense has any of those unique formal perfections. The book is about how the human language capacity is developed over time by human beings beginning with TNRs known to us implicitly and actually even before we are born. All scientific endeavors, all the creations of the sciences, arts, and humanities, all the religions of the world, and all the discoveries of experience utterly depend on the prior existence of the human language capacity and our power to comprehend and produce TNRs. Without it we could not enjoy any of the fruits of human experience. Nor could we appreciate how things go wrong when less perfect representations are mistaken, whether accidentally or on purpose, for TNRs. In biology, when DNA, RNA, and protein languages are corrupted, the proximate outcome is disorder, followed by disease if not corrected, and, in the catastrophic systems failures known as death in the long run. The book is about life and death. Both are dependent on TNRs in what comes out to be an absolute dependency from the logicomathematical perspective. Corrupt the TNRs on which life depends, and death will follow. Retain and respect TNRs and life can be preserved. However, ultimate truth does not reside in material entities or the facts represented by TNRs. It resides exclusively in the TNRs themselves and they do not originate from material entities. They are from God Almighty and do not depend at all on any material thing or body. TNRs outrank the material facts they incorporate and represent. It may seem strange, but the result is more certain, I believe, than the most recent findings of quantum physics. Representations are connected instantaneously. Symbol speed is infinitely faster than the speed of light. In the larger perspective of history, when TNRs are deliberately corrupted, the chaos of wars, pestilence, and destruction follows as surely as night follows day. The human language capacity makes us responsible in a unique manner for our thoughts, words, and actions. While it is true that no one ever asked us if we wanted to have free will or not, the fact that we have it can be disputed only by individuals who engage in a form of self-deception that borders on pathological lying, the kind that results when the deceiver can no longer distinguish between the actions he or she actually performed in his or her past experience and the sequences of events that he or she invented to avoid taking responsibility for those events, or to take credit for actions he or she never performed. On the global scale such misrepresentations lead to the sort of destruction witnessed at Sodom in the day of Abraham. That historical destruction has recently been scientifically revealed at the site of Tall el-Hammam in Jordan. More about that and all of the foregoing in the book.

... Former proponents of the injections such as Aseem Malhotra, one of the MDs who promoted the injectables at the beginning of their rollout, now believes injections should be halted immediately (Malhotra, 2022). Based on the many ORFs in the intended coding sequence, not to mention the high percentage of fragmented mXNAs in the injectables, the foreign entities being injected can only be expected to disrupt the body's biosignaling systems (Gryder et al., 2013;Oller, 2010Oller, , 2014Kennedy et al., 2016). Even the promoters of the genetic engineering experiment -funded and protected from law suits by the pharmaceutical-medical-government (PMG) complex (the CDC, FDA, Department of Defense, etc.; see Fleming, 2021; also Children's Health Defense, 2021) -acknowledge that correct translations of natural mRNA is "context-dependent". ...

Are the promoters of the COVID-19 injections leading, pushing, and even forcing the people of the world to play a global game of Russian Roulette? The actuarial statistics and clinical facts are revealing harmful and deadly consequences on a global scale. For the sake of those still able to choose whether to spin the cylinder and pull the trigger one more time, I am conducting a guided tour. I will show why there are exponentially many more ways for the experimental injections to cause disease and death than health and well-being. Briefly put, valid transcription of mRNA from our own DNA leads to well-formed proteins that work as designed for cytoplasm, organelles, cells, tissues, and functional organ systems of the body. By contrast, the foreign (xeno) nucleic acid sequences, the mXNAs, in the “modified mRNA” in the COVID-19 injectables are more likely to harm the body’s systems than to benefit them. The relevant research shows why the mXNAs are incompetent to communicate effectively with the complex native context in vivo — the human biosignaling systems that are not mechanical but are articulated in multiple layers, interconnected, and for practical purposes, infinitely varied systems of information processing. Survival and longevity depend on valid communications among nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, their RNAs, and the protein language systems specified before a person’s birth. When these complex biosignaling systems fail, disorders and diseases follow. In catastrophic failures, death occurs. The story is not simple and the tour I am conducting is challenging with more than a few twists, turns, and digressions. However, I believe, persons experimented on — almost all of them unknowingly, some with partial knowledge who were unwilling recipients — account for more than half the world population. The stakes are high, even life or death, so I think many of the recipients of one or more injections will take the guided tour.
... In implying that all of the interactions could be examined experimentally, one by one, pair by pair, and so forth, they seem to underestimate the complexity of the human DNA and the integrated MRD systems. Those systems must be at least as complex as the human language capacity, which is not only a practical infinity (Chomsky & Miller, 1958), but demonstrably an irreducibly complex system of systems (Oller, 2010(Oller, , 2014 on the order of Chaitin's omega limit (2007). ...
... In biosignaling, as in ordinary communication and perception, close resemblances make similar strings and shapes, like twins and doppelgängers difficult to tell apart. To work at all, the deceptive representations in viral pathogens, and in their peptide products, must resemble the true representations of their non-pathogenic but homologous or nearly homologous native molecular configurations in the host (Oller, 2010(Oller, , 2014. If the antibodies and immune cells of the host are confused into regarding proteins in its own cells and tissues as foreign invaders, antibodies can mistakenly attack the host tissues making the host increasingly vulnerable to attack by new invaders or by ones already on hand that have slipped past the MRD systems. ...

According to data collected in the UK for weeks 34-52 in 2021 (excluding week 51 which was not covered) and in weeks 1-12 of 2022 — a period of 28 weeks during which the genetic “vaccines” from Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca were being pressed upon the public — deaths reported to Public Health England (PHE) from their hospital “trusts” were being tabulated in a series of vaccine surveillance reports. Each source for the data analyzed here covered a four-week period. Deaths were reported to PHE from under age 18, progressing in increments of 10 years to 80 or older. In addition to deaths, the UK National Immunization Management System also recorded the date of a positive COVID-19 test result, and dates of any vaccinations. To obtain non-overlapping records, the 7 surveillance reports relied on here appeared in weeks 38, 42, 47, and 51 in 2021 and 4, 9, and 13 in 2022. Assuming that dying was not reported more than once for any individual, and, that dates of positive COVID-19 tests and COVID-19 vaccinations were reasonably reliable, we believe there is no good reason to doubt the data or the analyses we are reporting. During the 28 weeks we are referring to, we found an almost perfect correlation between the total deaths within 60 days of a positive COVID-19 test, across the various age groups (a) from any cause whatever and (b) deaths after the persons who died had received one, two, or three doses of at least one of the COVID-19 vaccines. We simply collated the data from the various UK Health Security Agency vaccine surveillance reports to discover a correlation of 0.99881, coefficient of determination at 0.99762, between (a) and (b). The shots account for almost exactly 100% of the variance in death-from-all-causes in the UK data set.

INTRODUCTION: Corpus callosum agenesis is a rare congenital condition result from a fiberal malformation. Individuals with corpus callosum agenesis may have different symptoms. This study aims to introduce a rare condition and inform about ongoing assessment and treatment processes. METHODS: 1 participant diagnosed with corpus callosum agenesis who is 42 months was assessed with TEDİL and TİGE assessment tests and had speech and language therapy for 18 months. While therapy was continuing, the second evaluation was carried out. RESULTS: The participant was found to produce only 5-6 single words in the beginning of intervention besides exhibiting many of behavioral problems. With 18 month sessions, the participant was able to not only use more words, word combination and pragmatic gestures but also have eye contact, imitation skills and less behavioral problems. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The results were similar to the ones in related studies which focus on corpus callosum agenesis which shows that the participant has had developmental delay and speech & language disorder. It is stated that intervention and assessment process is better conducted with multidisciplinary team Keywords: corpus callosum, agenesis, developmental disorders, language disorder, speech and language therapy
... In the short-term, cutting, burning, poisoning, and infecting the body may have a curative effect, but over the long-term cumulative injuries leading to disorders and even temporary infectious diseases must cumulatively trend toward the catastrophic failure known as mortality (Davidson and Seneff, 2012;Davidson et al., 2013;Gryder et al., 2013;Kennedy et al., 2016). All of this follows from the underlying nature of what has been called biosemiotic entropy which is provably irreversible (Oller, 2010(Oller, , 2014Pellionisz, 2012). As proved more than half a century ago by Jaynes (1957aJaynes ( , 1957bJaynes ( , 1965 for all physical systems, once the corruption of entropy is introduced into a complex system, it cannot be filtered out any more than an egg can be unscrambled. ...

The falling birth rate in the United States may be owed to multiple factors, the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines being among them. Here I examine again the hypothesis that the likelihood of having been pregnant at least once was reduced for women aged 25 to 29 between 2007 and 2018 who received one of the HPV vaccines compared with peers who did not. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) representing 7.5 million women in the United States were used. The age-range was limited in order to compare women in the optimal age-range for child-bearing who received at least one HPV shot during the study period against peers who did not. Given that the HPV vaccines are aimed at preventing cervical cancer, but not at reducing or enhancing fertility, the opportunity and choice to receive such a vaccine should be about equal across all the women in the sampled age-range and time frame. Analysis revealed that only 47% of HPV vaccine recipients had ever conceived as contrasted with 69% of comparable peers who did not receive any HPV shot. If pregnancies after receiving such a shot were unaffected by it, the women in both groups should be equally likely or unlikely to get pregnant. Nevertheless, even when covariate controls for marital status, age, education, income, race/ethnicity, obesity and smoking were used, a multivariate logistic regression showed a reduced likelihood of pregnancy in the HPV vaccinated women (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.438, 0.998): women who received the HPV vaccine were less likely to have been or to become pregnant during the time frame examined. The reasonable conclusion is that receiving an HPV vaccination reduces female fertility. If the shot were aiming to be a birth-control vaccine the observed result would not be anomalous. But it is, and there is other research showing that at least two of the viruses targeted by all the HPV vaccines on the market, 16 and 18, can cause sterility in both females and males and are also associated with so-called “spontaneous” abortions and premature ovarian failure in pregnant female carriers of those pathogens.
... We can say that a coherent biosignaling system of systems must reside at the center of every healthy living organism, or we can turn the proposition the other way around and say that health and well-being are defined by a coherent system of biosignaling systems. The empirical demonstration of the existence of such a living system of systems consisting of TNRs at their basis is the fact that disruptions of those systems universally trend toward disorders, diseases, and the inevitable catastrophic failure known as death -an outcome, sad to say, which is guaranteed by the cumulative effect of disruptions of the biosignaling systems of every living thing (Oller 2010;Gryder, Nelson, and Shepard 2013;Oller 2014b). Life, therefore, dependent as it must be on TNRs, as I have argued (Oller 2010) is the logical antithesis of entropy. ...

This review zeros in on the aspect of vaccine theory, practice, and research that is the most dangerous, the most controversial, and that is at the epicenter of the alleged SARS-CoV-2 “pandemic”. Regardless whether the “pandemic” itself is real or an illusion manufactured out of fear by vested interests, it is central to ethics and policy discussions seeking to understand bioweapons research in general. The official involvement of the USA in civilian bioweapons research dates at least from World War II under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The historical records, cloaked in secrecy until after the Anthrax mailing of 2001, reveal an intimate connection to vaccine research and development, its governmental protection from public scrutiny, and from citizen initiated lawsuits. It is an industry that has released dangerous weaponized pathogens by accident and by sinister designs supposedly compensated in the peace-loving nations by unrealistic hopes in non-existent counter-measures for outbreaks, including epidemiological tracking after the fact, vaccines being researched to counter the weaponization of pathogens being studied, immunity enhancing drugs, and downstream hoped for blood sera containing antibodies. Critical questions concern the ratio of real-risks to hoped-for-benefits, the “mitigating” measures “governments” (especially in the USA) have supposedly established to prevent pandemic outbreaks from bioweapons research, and how all that has played out in the instance of SARS-CoV-2.

The document appended here — an “International Application Published Under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)” — falls among the many “unprecedented” events witnessed during COVID-19. It was filed June 20, 2019 with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under the PCT and its international publication date was March 26, 2020. Some have already scorned the idea that the document appended as the final entry to IJVTPR 1(2) is at least a partial fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy concerning the age-old conflict between good and evil. But it is as real and as relevant to COVID-19 as the vaccines that were envisioned and practically in production before SARS-CoV-2 infected the first human in Wuhan. Now, with the burden of the economic shut-down settling upon the people of the planet, the prospect of pandemics more deadly than COVID-19, has made many fearful enough to forfeit their free will to technocrats ready to manage them like robots. The patent applied for is about the buying and selling of “human necessities”. It would authorize the patent holder to use every manner of surveillance of an individual’s bodily states, actions, and thoughts to make the buying and selling of necessary products and services, contingent upon certain “work”, such as receiving or refusing to receive certain vaccines or meeting other requirements set by the patent holder.
