In 10 Words, or Less… G-d & Gravity
Existentially, it could be argued that G-d and gravity share
a common attribute which can be summed up in 10 words:
.
“a single invisible force that moves everything in the universe”
.
Or, mathematically and pictographically:
O°
.
(hint: not a degree symbol)

Romancing the Sphere
Some may find this unique table helpful in understanding spheres.
Beyond the purely mathematic, this fully symmetrical regime may also find application in physics, sociology, ontology and economics.
Note: Using the diametric mode for calculations (mentally or on paper) can be quicker than employing the formal (radial) convention, especially when working with hyper-dimensional domains, exponential growth scenarios, or when one is in need of an easier way to factor between domains of differing dimensionality.
If you would like a personal, complimentary copy of this chart in PDF format (8.5″x11″ – but infinitely scalable) use the form below. Comments optional.
.
Notes:
All versions since 2004 have reflected the much needed repair of the broken symmetry found in the 0-sphere definition under the prevailing n-sphere generalisation.
If you prefer the formal mode for transforms between exterior and interior space, simply use •r/d instead of •D/2d.
If you’re a student, check with your professor before applying these principles in your work. If you are the professor, just use your best judgement …and maybe get a second faculty opinion. 😉

APoJi 2011
Dear friend,
Thank you for your interest in this most unconventional initiative to promote grassroots, collaborative, peace-thinking about the Middle East.
The story of APoJi (A Peace of Jerusalem initiative) began on October 27, 2009, when the idea was proposed during a friendly discussion about “intractable problems” and “impossible dreams.”
On November 5, 2009, the first official iteration of the proposal “A Peace of Jerusalem” was posted on this site.
On August 7, 2010, after collecting and collating the input of about 300 interested observers from around the world, and after dozens of interim versions were posted, the ‘final’ version of the main text was frozen and placed into the public domain.
Future versions of the document will be denoted by the year in which they are published; e.g. A Peace of Jerusalem 2011.
The first print edition of the document was published on December 13, 2010, and distributed to all contributors who provided a physical mailing address, but who will otherwise remain anonymous.
A few small changes to the preamble were made since that time and have been incorporated into the digital master which can be found here: http://apoji.org.
[Note: URL now links to the final version — Ed., September 24, 2014]
Working within a self-imposed 2,000 word limit for the main body of the text (and a nine-month timeframe), the result is something that the average person can read—and mostly understand—in about ten to twenty minutes (30 is more realistic — Ed.) The myriad details required to properly implement such a plan will be left to the engineers, lawyers, diplomats and bureaucrats to discuss.
Theoretically, the success of any such proposal would rely upon the earnest parallel pursuit of a wider, regional treaty on refugees and human rights.
We invite your constructive participation in this project through the link provided above.

On behalf of the composing group and with sincere regards,
S.
