I’m reading Civilization Before Greece and Rome, by H. W. F. Saggs. Published in ‘89 so some interpretations are outdated, but a section on the emergence and rise of the god king in Mesopotamia for instance shows how the evangelical butt kissing of 🍊💩 and their efforts to sanctify him have been a part of human behavior for the past 5KY that we have written records of, and likely for a long while before that. Our constitution tries to buck the trend, but the odds for success look slim.

End Cover for Initial Value Problem: Complete Validated Algorithms with Complexity Analysis
Bingwei Zhang, Chee Yap
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.00162 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.00162 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.00162
arXiv:2602.00162v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We consider the first-order autonomous ordinary differential equation \[ \mathbf{x}' = \mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}), \] where $\mathbf{f} : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ is locally Lipschitz. For a box $B_0 \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ and $h > 0$, we denote by $\mathrm{IVP}_{\mathbf{f}}(B_0,h)$ the set of solutions $\mathbf{x} : [0,h] \to \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying \[ \mathbf{x}'(t) = \mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}(t)), \qquad \mathbf{x}(0) \in B_0 . \]
We present a complete validated algorithm for the following \emph{End Cover Problem}: given $(\mathbf{f}, B_0, \varepsilon, h)$, compute a finite set $\mathcal{C}$ of boxes such that \[ \mathrm{End}_{\mathbf{f}}(B_0,h) \;\subseteq\; \bigcup_{B \in \mathcal{C}} B \;\subseteq\; \mathrm{End}_{\mathbf{f}}(B_0,h) \oplus [-\varepsilon,\varepsilon]^n , \] where \[ \mathrm{End}_{\mathbf{f}}(B_0,h) = \left\{ \mathbf{x}(h) : \mathbf{x} \in \mathrm{IVP}_{\mathbf{f}}(B_0,h) \right\}. \]
Moreover, we provide a complexity analysis of our algorithm and introduce a novel technique for computing the end cover $\mathcal{C}$ based on covering the boundary of $\mathrm{End}_{\mathbf{f}}(B_0,h)$. Finally, we present experimental results demonstrating the practicality of our approach.

It’s nothing to do with immigration. It’s about the would-be dictator having his own private military that:
- can be deployed domestically
- at will
- unbeholden to the UCMJ etc
- or disciplined military culture
- or any accountability whatsoever
- with unpredictably violent behavior
- applied indiscriminately
- to anyone
- so that the entire population is terrified of it
…because for them, the problem with Jan 6 was that the coup wasn’t violent enough and didn’t have enough weapons.
