^ introducing the worthy ^
the anguttara nikaya states:
" monks
these eight persons are worthy of gifts
worthy of hospitality
worthy of offerings
worthy of reverential salutations
the unsurpassed field of merit for the world
what eight?
the streamenterer
the one practicing for the realisation of the fruit of streamentry
the oncereturner
the one practicing for the realisation of the fruit of oncereturning
the nonreturner
the one practicing for the realisation of the fruit of nonreturning
the arahant
the one practicing for the realisation of the fruit of arahantship "
these eight species of humans with worth form a total order of stages to
nibbana
but
in the beautiful buddhist symmetry here
one sees the orders inverted in pairs
ending on the penultimate step

it is a certain focus
instilled from very early buddhism
that defies revealing linear orders save through obfuscation and
adornement

antichrists and antibuddhas -+-
| |
-
being an antichrist is easy
the main themes have all been well developed:
. a dislike for the shepherd-sheep model underlying christ's ethics
(e.g. beatitudes)
. a scientific imperative to not deify the necessity of any observable
. disagreement with christ's teachings on gender roles
. christ's ontology having scientific dissonance with accepted
observations
nietzsche formalised many of the key points
la vey compiled the worldview well
there have been antichrists for centuries
but the path antibodhi is a struggle long and personal
most buddhists are extremely nice and peaceful people
even in their hard times
of which they have many
and finding fault in those who have done no harm is considered rude
seeing their flaws a fairly common taboo
there must be strong cooperative drives to overcome to the antibuddhist
view
like in the antichristian position
many of these come from modern scientific philosophies

the gotama
siddhattha
was one of those systematists of magic numbers
every answer was counted with cases
of unquestionable cardinal truth
four noble truths
the eightfold path
four kinds of kamma
and
strangely
although there is only one path
there are four paths to arahantship
counting and accounting the fairly universal orthonormal six directions
and tallying still the many more paths through them
buddhism
like many other religions and doctrine
embellishes numerology and symmetries in its art
mirrored in the crystalised accretions of fundamentalism
for some there is never a:
what if one day finds a ninth person worthy of gifts??
this streak of numerological fundamentalism
this reification
prohibits learning and growth
and comes from the same obsession with the situ
the same avoidance of substantia
that fuels christian and moslem fundamentalist hatreds
the beauty of the story itself
the necessity of it's truth in all details
what if we find out that some of the oncereturners are actually pricks?
do we really need to still pay their sorry asses?

it is that necessity of measure
where a value in some discretisation of experience
can no longer be questioned
which defines the epistemic opposition to buddhism
and yet
with such a clear and definite demarcation
an antibuddhist in a buddhist house
would still remove her shoes and share enjoyable talk and meals
still
a buddhist in an antibuddhist house might drink beer or wine
and laugh at the humor and wit of the antibuddhist heartily
they may share
and among the things they share may be many beliefs
many are vegetarians
many think orange is actually a pretty beautiful area of the color
spectrum
many feel peace is much more respectable than war
the buddha was a very bright man
his model of the relationship between suffering and desire
is fundamentally accurate in many modern models
and explains many features of human dynamics
the same thing with christ
fighting to separate the money changers from the church
who doesn't admire that?
it's a shame it didn't work
there are great men and woman throughout history
people who led and shaped history
much of what they did or tried to do
comes from a very noble core understanding
but from appreciation
history grows necrotic crystallisations of fundamentalism
and as we learn about life and its dangers
please help me
give me trust
a cage
a lock
falls comforting upon the will
manipulating it from afar
$$$$$$$$$$ how the forests grew $$$$$$$$$
all these great human stories accumulated in our histories
have the flaws of our contingent experience
it is always important to identify the various contingencies in every
teaching
and allow each it's own science to evolve
many are artistic attachments with unintended consequences
things mythicised for the strange obsessions of a people
that aren't always very healthy to themselves and others
buddhists already recognise these historical great ones
(that is basically what a buddha is
gotama being the sammasambuddha
or what the category theorists would call
the terminal object of the category of the poset of buddhas)
and they might accept other nonbuddhist greats as well
those who had a great understanding of suffering and the way to peace
gandhi maybe?
jimmy carter?
bono?
...
everyone has their own list of buddhas
their own trust networks for "true knowledge"
(tru(e/st))
but as our temporal knowledge states have been studied more
certain global theorems seem likely
(eg. in most models
learning never "gets us there"
but it might "bring us closer")
it is these models that guide the antibuddhist philosophy
and so all highest antibuddhas must be proficient mathematicians

so
many years ago it was written
on old powdery sandstone tablets of ancient pali
(because the first antibuddhists were not wise in the properties of
stone inscriptions then)
a secret challenge for decoding the antibuddhas from the merely
antiarahant
in a corner of sarnath
around a bend of trees that stays perpetually in shade or night
there is a black rock with white chalky scratches everwording
in english
"a path for every ordering"
which is the secret antibuddhist call for antibuddhas
an ancient combinatorial riddle
which asks the antibuddha to enumerate the ways
to create a finite order (forder) from a finite partial order (fporder)
using certain rigorous frameworks to make this statement reasonable in
the first antibuddhist riddle goes:
suppose a great economic warlord gives the antibuddha
alms in the form x0, x1, .., x_{n-1}
where a total order is decreed
x0 < x1 < .. < x_{n-1}
through the wonders of compound interest
and the accumulations of these types heterogeneously
the antibuddha will need to consider forms like (x0)^2 and x0 . x2
abstractly as future values
(remember
part of the antibuddhist mythology
claims the initial object of the antibuddhist poset category
will arrive in a time when currency's value is not bound by durable
good
but floats with the indeterminate sense of burden guiding this future)
the antibuddhist riddle asks the seeker of the sacred antibodhi
to consider that all values are decreed unique by signature
what will become passed as the "prime banking law"
that (x0)^(j0) . (x1)^(j1) ... is either < or > (x0)^(k0) . (x1)^(k1)
...
anytime (j0, j1, .., j_{n-1}) =/= (k0, k1, .., k_{n-1})
when the power structure transitions to control over all accumulated value
transfers
the riddle asks
how many
of these various orderings
would have been possible in the ancient times of linear valuations
where it is implied that one must "enumerate by weight"
(or homogeneous comparisons
as they used to depict these gifts as glass beads of various colors
and exponents in a term just meant multiple beads
so equal weight meant j0 + j1 + .. + j_{n-1} = k0 + k1 + .. + k_{n-1}
the juxtaposition of the dystopic future and the mythical past
and the perplexing ambiguity on which time is relevant to the question
is just a confusion the antibuddhists abuse
(to fuck with potential antibuddhas)
it's not really relevant to the problem
the key challenge is to find O(m, n)
= # of different orders of m variables in terms with total order n
from the variable representations possible in [2, oo) e Z
the antibuddhists are a strange lot
though
they do not just issue mysterious challenges
which would be too zen
umm
buddhist
they also help out with illustrations
and answer the questions of students working on it
they share new progress on the problem
and are generally very open and unsecretive to the inquisitive student
and have provided a canon of examples and explanation
with suggestions for the student to attack the problem
this is generally called
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
"the transpiring of the setting out"
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
in the ancient pali studies
the transpiring begins by showing that O(m, n) is a meaningful and
interesting problem
by starting with a look at O(3, 2)
there are 3 variables to count at order 2
x0 < x1 < x2
it is possible that either
(x0)^2 < (x0) . (x1) < (x0) . (x2) < (x1)^2 < (x1) . (x2) < (x2)^2
or
(x0)^2 < (x0) . (x1) < (x1)^2 < (x0) . (x2) < (x1) . (x2) < (x2)^2
for integers greater than or equal to 2
e.g. (x0, x1, x2) = (2, 7, 11) or (2, 3, 11) respectively
so O(3, 2) >= 2
and it is easy to prove it is exactly these 2
(x0 < x1 implies (x0)^2 < (x0) . (x1) < (x1)^2
and similarly (x1) . (x2)
there is structure determined by the order
but it's not complete order
this example helps show the student what it means for there to be
"different orders"
ie. different < relations over the order n terms
for different possible representations in Z
at this point
it is common for the antibuddhist to allow the student some easier
review
by proving the various
O(1, n) = 1 -- the unity of the antibodhi
O(2, n) = 1 -- no really the unity of the antibodhi
which along with the previous
O(3, 2) = 2 -- the multiplicity of the antibodhi [at (3, 2)]
serves to introduce the student to the contraDictionNature of all
antibodhal reference
the true antibuddha sees this same chaos within themselves
they will regularly question
"is there a contradiction in here?"
a true antibuddha might find they need to figure out O(4, 2)
or maybe they go for O(3, 3)
whatever path their antibodhal nature takes them
(they're both 12)
the true antibuddha will use her strange dreamalice curiosity
to build a new language for counting
O(3, 3) might be translated to some strange symbology such as
<--<--<--
<--<---->
<--<---->>
<---->-->
<---->-->>
--><--<--
--><---->
--><---->>
-->-->-->
-->-->-->>
-->>-->-->
-->>-->-->>
(this example comes from the
internecine travelogue of antibodh gaya
)
that is the strange manifestation that is the ahistorical antibuddhist
movement
where future discoveries are explained in terms of past insights
an edifice is built
displaying all the characteristics of a classical fragment of
mathematics
and yet
eerily incomplete
in that way that reveals many obvious paths to completion
as if the construct were purposefully abandoned
but even yet
if all this antibuddhist show had simply been these fragments
it could still be seen a mere puzzle
an unresolved corner of mathematics awaiting its eventual completion
that is
unless one ignores the incident of mirrors
in a small town just south of patna
in 1934
it is said that a local bhang producer named satyendra ramanathan
was deeply considering the ancient antibuddhist challenge
when he suddenly saw the path to its resolution
it is said that he breathed out slightly in awe at the simplicity of it
all
but his breath carried with it the power of the antibuddha
and all mirrors in the town burst from their frames and shattered
it is said that
as the shards fell they formed into formulae
scattering the great solution across the town
they call this great breath the exsammasam
and it is said that the great noise it created
startled the nescient antibuddha so much
he forgot his line of thought
seeing the formulae in the shards
he began running through town
writing every step he could find on his chalk tablet
unfortunately
he soon ran out of space on his tablet
and the ignorant townspeople
not knowing the significance of the shards
began a cleanup effort that destroyed the most important steps
incensed
satyendra began berating the townspeople
and after sending a long and confusing letter to hardy detailing all
formulae he could recover
he fell into a deep depression
eventually the town turned against him and buried him alive
and the last king of siam built a great stupa on top of his mound
hardy gave the letter to watson
where they fell into the hands of the nazis
after the war
just fragments were left scattered for the allies to find

through mastery of these mathematical manipulations
can the antibuddha slay the future buddhic accretions of numerology
that is why it is the first riddle
some say the antibuddha has already come
that the antibuddhist riddle has been solved and the prophecies filled
some say she has three heads
each with split tongues dripping deadly venom
some say there have been many antibuddhas
each finding the solutions
not only to this
but to the pantheon of ways to count the paths
each laughing wickedheartily at the utter folly of the buddhist numerology
(but each secretly also feeling a bit of the emptiness
kill a little over them in nothingness
as the death of the day lies with the death of it's challenge)
but
they say many things
you can't believe everything they say
