Considering steps taken

Can be hard to be sure when trying to do your own best with a difficult situation as to whether steps taken are best ones, or what should be done, or not. And with things stretching over decades which involve others can get especially difficult.

In my situation where have given a LOT more in plenty of posts as try to work through it in a way that has worked well for me in the past, have often been surprised when systems didn't work way I thought they should. And when people have not behaved as expected with information.

Given how dramatic much of it is, is useful to talk through some of the steps taken, as well as to document.

So have revealed that first thought had some important mathematics which should be put out there in 1996, which was rejected as too simple where I stopped there. That is, I only sent to one math journal, but could have continued though do not regret that, as later with more research, actually got published and watched as a math journal imploded where have talked details in other areas.

And found was facing a systemic problem with global implications which didn't realize then would be grappling with over a decade later.

Have sent communications to various mathematicians, being careful to stay in their subject area, which yeah, also meant was going to number theorists who may have been negatively impacted. But with my prime number counting method, meant contact with some of the leading researchers in the area. Am good at reaching people. They just didn't react with enthusiasm, or help required.

Got upset enough at one point looking at implications actually contacted a US Attorney. And not sure which one. Maybe was New York? Got a polite response in essence was, out of their area.

Have contacted the NSA, multiple times. And eventually dawned on me, not really a good idea, you know? They've always been polite when I could get through. Last time did went through public affairs folks, who forwarded message into the agency.

Have not contacted the US Congress on this issue. Guess kind of figured, what's the point?

And have had various levels of upset or calm through the years on the web, where am sure the evidence is out there. And lately focused more on objective evidence, stacked overwhelmingly as simply as possible.

Meanwhile have routinely watched global events which may be related. Watching news especially about security breaches which may be related. Endlessly noting things explained in a way that no one looks closely at underlying systems for security, while recognizing I really don't know if that is where problem lies.

There is much dramatic which does not go easily into a blog post. As I've developed intellectual things have been testing them out in various ways. So no, don't just have ideas for entertainment or science.

To me is an impasse. Which would just as soon not have continue and have put pressure on myself to end it.

But imagine if one of the world's greatest discoverers had been developing intellectual tools for over a decade, with a direct connect to the planet on the web, is in a weird battle with people who are defending their jobs, with many in top level security positions all over the planet.

Would you want to get in the way? If so, you should not. Stay out of this fight. But I want you to understand it.

Because they don't have a chance to win.

Am not asking for your help. Am giving you a chance to understand somewhat, if things go badly in ways I cannot control.

To me, is the right thing to do. Soon, will just get it done, consequences be what they may.

Human progress does not like being held back. I'm the agent put in to do the job, and I have lots of leeway.

And must also follow rules. So you have been notified. Freeing me for next steps.

Public notification complete.

Seems really wacky to me. But is also why is taking as long as it has. There are other things I can do, which are legal. Don't get too excited. In essence talking using my influence more directly than in the past.

However, moving into uncharted territory.

To put it another way, to protect the human species?

Yeah, maybe someone like me is giving a bit more than most might realize, which should be good! And I DO have to follow rules. So many rules have to follow. Is a good thing.

Regardless, even with all those rules, and having to keep it legal, and so much more, turns out there is a lot more can do. But still had to notify, by the rules, as well, maybe some things could get out of control. But have studied situation for years, and have back up plans and things.

So here we go. By my analysis there is a 99% probability of success, with minimal negative global impact.

Which is great! A decade ago was only 50% and you don't want to know any more.

I'll take the current odds.

So then, is time to switch modes. For the first time, to really test out some these things I have.

Will be interesting. Just watch the news. You don't even have to pay attention to me.
