Specifically, if the eigenvalues all have real parts that are negative, then the system is stable near the stationary point. If any eigenvalue has a real part that is positive, then the point is unstable. If the largest real part of the eigenvalues is zero, then the Jacobian matrix does not allow for an evaluation of the stability.

Yes—for a continuous-time autonomous system

x ˙ =f(x),f(x ∗ )=0,

this is the standard linearization criterion, with J=Df(x ∗ ):

If every eigenvalue of J has strictly negative real part, then x ∗ is locally exponentially asymptotically stable. If at least one eigenvalue has strictly positive real part, then x ∗ is unstable. If no eigenvalue has positive real part but at least one has real part 0, linearization is generally inconclusive. Nonlinear terms or a center-manifold analysis are needed.

The last case really can go either way. For example, all three scalar equations below have Jacobian J=0 at x=0:

x ˙ =−x 3 , x ˙ =x 3 , x ˙ =0.

Yet 0 is respectively asymptotically stable, unstable, and neutrally stable.

A slightly more precise wording is therefore:

If the spectral abscissa

α(J)= λ∈σ(J) max

Reλ

is negative, the equilibrium is locally exponentially stable. If α(J)>0, it is unstable. If α(J)=0, the Jacobian test is inconclusive.

This criterion concerns the Jacobian matrix of a dynamical system at an equilibrium; it is unrelated to the “constant Jacobian determinant” condition in the Jacobian conjecture.

ok look at this way, without being petty what is your ability to have clean water today? and how is that measured? -- You know the food is substandard to the USDA standard EG ( Taylor farms 2026 ) But Where is the enforcement for Your drinking water and the food YOU eat daily. And what is the projected outcome in years from eating substandard foods to NIH standards? -- All of this is known today. And AI can help, by YOU building on top of the models you have access to in 2026. The idea that tokens are constrained - is the wrong approach in Business and public policy. You may recall how KSG got its funding and why? In todays world YOU have a responsibility to build better - As such a better mousetrap.

Kellogg School of Business -- he said -- token as a commodity and therefore Open AI is constrained .. ha ha ha hee hee ha .. Well... you build a better mousetrap, and DeepSeek, K3, and ByteDance are just that -- just as good and fit to purpose -- What is needed is to build on top of -- not paniteir (invade privacy and kill people with the information) -- not USMC AI -- use PI's as overwatch killer drones -- but how can I make harder steel, longer-lasting, seawater-resistant concrete, faster time to build housing, better enforcement of USDA rules and FDA adverse enforcement, and better EPA water cleanup, a better FTC for consumer goods -- that is, if I buy an item, that item is safe and built to purpose -- ANYONE not talking about public protection of consumer rights usng AI, is wasting your time

Very good; HOW TO DETECT & STOP STATE-PROTECTED CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES WHAT WORKED IN THE EPSTEIN CASE: Proven Tactics 1. COURAGEOUS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT Chief Michael Reiter & Detective Joseph Recarey

What they did:

Refused political pressure ("I told him those suggestions were improper and could constitute a crime") Documented everything - Built case with 50+ consistent victim statements Escalated when blocked - Went to FBI when State Attorney compromised Personally supported victims - Wrote letters on police letterhead Lesson: One honest cop with integrity can make a difference, even against billionaires

2. INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM Julie K. Brown - Miami Herald's "Perversion of Justice" (2018)

What she did:

Interviewed 60+ women who were victims Obtained sealed court documents through legal channels Connected patterns across jurisdictions Published despite risk - Exposed the 2008 plea deal cover-up Direct Result:

Judge ruled prosecutors violated victims' rights (Feb 2019) Acosta resigned (July 2019) Epstein re-arrested (July 6, 2019) 2019 federal indictment Lesson: Persistent investigative journalism with victim testimony can reopen cases

3. PRO BONO VICTIMS' RIGHTS ATTORNEYS Brad Edwards & Paul Cassell

What they did:

Pro bono representation starting 2008 Used Crime Victims' Rights Act (18 U.S.C. § 3771) - sued federal government Won - Judge ruled 2008 plea deal violated victims' rights Exposed systemic failures through legal discovery Lesson: Civil litigation can succeed where criminal prosecution fails

4. VICTIMS SPEAKING OUT (Despite Intimidation) Virginia Giuffre, Courtney Wild, & 100+ Others

What they did:

Broke silence publicly (2011 - Giuffre to Mail on Sunday) Provided consistent testimony (50+ women with same story) Persisted despite mockery (early accusers ridiculed) United for compensation (100+ filed claims by 2020) Result:

Courtney Wild Crime Victims' Rights Reform Act (2019) Epstein Victims Compensation Fund - $50 million paid out Lesson: Mass victim testimony is powerful evidence

5. FOIA REQUESTS & DOCUMENT TRANSPARENCY What worked:

2015: Judge unsealed details in underage sex lawsuit July 2, 2024: Grand jury docs from 2006 unsealed FOIA mechanisms forced document releases Lesson: Public records requests can expose cover-ups

6. CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT July-August 2025 Actions

What they did:

House Resolution 119-581 - Rep. Thomas Massie forced DOJ file release Subpoenas to former AGs - House Oversight demanded accountability Public hearings - August 25, 2025 subpoena to Acosta Lesson: Congressional pressure can force reluctant agencies to act

PRACTICAL ACTIONS ANYONE CAN TAKE DETECTION PHASE 1. Follow the Money Tax haven connections (Virgin Islands, Switzerland, Bermuda) Unusually high wire transfers ($1.9 billion in Epstein's case) Shell companies with vague descriptions ("DNA database & data mining") No clear income source for lavish lifestyle Offshore legal structures (Appleby, etc.) 2. Watch for Protection Patterns Charges downgraded mysteriously (federal → state misdemeanor) "Unusual" prosecutorial decisions (Chief Reiter's words) Grand jury recommendations ignored Plea deals sealed from victims Work release for serious crimes Short sentences despite evidence 3. Identify Systematic Patterns Multiple victims with same story (Reiter: "50-something 'shes' and one 'he'") Victim intimidation (private investigators, surveillance) Attempts to discredit victims ("lifestyle" arguments) Evidence suppression ACTION PHASE A. If You're a Victim or Witness: 1. Document Everything

Keep contemporaneous notes Save all communications Photograph/video evidence safely Secure cloud backups (multiple locations) 2. Report Through Multiple Channels

Local police (get case numbers) FBI (if interstate/international) State AG office Congressional representatives IRS whistleblower program (financial crimes) 3. Find Pro Bono Legal Help

Victims' rights attorneys Civil rights organizations Law school clinics National Crime Victim Law Institute 4. Safety First

Secure housing if threatened Protective orders Alert police to threats Document intimidation attempts B. If You're a Journalist/Researcher: 1. Use FOIA Aggressively

Federal agencies: FOIA requests (5 U.S.C. § 552) State/local: Public records laws Court documents: Motions to unseal OGIS mediation if agencies delay (average 138 delay cases/year) 2. Interview Pattern

Multiple independent sources Corroborating victims Former employees/insiders Document experts 3. Build Coalitions

Partner with victims' rights groups Coordinate with other journalists Academic researchers Forensic accountants C. If You're Law Enforcement: 1. Follow Chief Reiter's Example

Refuse political pressure Document interference attempts Escalate to federal authorities if local blocked Support victims personally Build thorough cases (multiple witnesses) 2. Protect Investigation

Secure evidence chain Multiple backup copies Avoid single points of failure Document surveillance of investigators D. If You're a Concerned Citizen: 1. Support Transparency

Contact representatives - demand investigations Submit FOIA requests - public has right to records Support investigative journalism - subscribe, donate Attend public meetings - ask questions 2. Amplify Victims' Voices

Share credible reporting (not conspiracy theories) Support compensation funds Contact representatives about victims' rights Vote for accountability 3. Financial Pressure

Report suspicious activity to: IRS Whistleblower Office (if tax fraud) FinCEN (financial crimes) State banking regulators JPMorgan paid $105M after USVI AG sued - banks CAN be held accountable LEGAL TOOLS THAT WORK 1. Crime Victims' Rights Act (18 U.S.C. § 3771) Right to notification Right to be heard Right to restitution Can sue federal government for violations 2. RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962) Sue criminal enterprises Triple damages Attorney fees covered 3. State Victims' Rights Laws 30+ states have constitutional protections Some allow appeals/interventions 4. Civil Lawsuits Even if criminal case fails Lower burden of proof Discovery process exposes evidence WARNING SIGNS OF STATE PROTECTION Check if investigation shows these red flags:

No IRS audits despite obvious tax fraud Federal prosecutors give sweetheart deals Intelligence agency connections mentioned Political figures intervene in investigation Evidence "disappears" or is suppressed Victims not notified of proceedings Work release for serious crimes Sealed plea agreements Co-conspirators immunized (like Epstein's deal) Investigators surveilled/threatened WHAT ULTIMATELY BROKE THE EPSTEIN CASE The combination of:

Honest local cops (Reiter/Recarey) who built the evidence Pro bono lawyers (Edwards/Cassell) who sued for 11 years Investigative journalist (Julie K. Brown) who exposed it Courageous victims (Giuffre, Wild, 100+ others) who spoke out Court unsealing documents (2015, 2024) Congressional pressure (2019, 2025) No single actor could do it alone. It required a coalition.

KEY LESSONS What Doesn't Work: Trusting institutions to self-police Going through "proper channels" alone Waiting for DOJ/FBI to act Staying silent out of fear

What Does Work: Multiple channels simultaneously (police + FBI + press + civil suits) Documentation (Reiter: "This was 50 'shes' and one 'he'") Persistence (Edwards/Cassell: 11 years pro bono) Public pressure (Miami Herald broke it open) Coalition building (victims + lawyers + press + Congress) Using existing laws creatively (Crime Victims' Rights Act)

PayPal is applying for a U.S. banking charter, likely as an Industrial Loan Company (ILC) in Utah, to offer more direct financial services like small business lending, taking advantage of a more favorable regulatory environment under the Trump administration for fintechs to become banks, gain FDIC insurance, and better compete with traditional banks. Essentially, PayPal wants to move beyond just being a payment app to become a full-fledged, regulated bank, especially to boost lending. This Fintech-to-Bank Trend: Follows other crypto firms like Circle and Paxos also getting bank-like approvals, showing a shift in financial regulation.

UN RES 1701 is being violated - in Lebanon -- the public news suppression is total from - HN point of view there is two questions - HOW and WHY -- The IDF has created a new adware insertion tools - that has the ability to drop malware by clicking on an ad -- infecting cell phones in 150 countries -- the test of the tool was to shutdown 28% of the internet in the last 30 days ( Cloudflare spin team reports 1 man gave a bad updated ) -- This was done Three times. Second this new tool can create false ad impressions - generating real profit from ads no human every saw - and because of the placement of malware the SLPP ( London based ) lawfare team can sue for millions if you don't pay. for google, meta and XAl the loss with be in the 100's millions on 4.5 Billion in total revenue. The real target is REAL news UN/1701 and YOU.

This is a known type of visa crime and should be insured against. Visa losses 100 million a year by sophisticated visa fraud. At Citibank it was part of the job to pay. The crime is setup multilayered fake bank in a secure jurisdiction, fake customer inside the network (CIA,MOSSAD) and a cardholder 50,000 dollar limit so no flags - all is validated via visa including in charge. Then no payment and months later an investigation that uncovers fraud then visa is the enforcer and based on your dependence YOU WILL PAY. Citibank pays!, With 100 million accounts at 23% profit the amount paid is a drop in the bucket. Upwork paid as well and is now holding the bag for not having the insurance

Ha! Any programmer knows you have to simulate a trading system to run "What if" calculations .. RPG II a switch based language based on the input dataset, so this list of trades will have that outcome. A split-strike, you know today as "sectors trading" is still profitable. But in RPG II it can be made to look criminal for programmers - when all we did was run one group of gold mining cards versus gold trading cards where they match we buy where they don't we sell. Placed on top of the S&P 2000 we yield 1% a day - which to those not familiar with sectors - see as criminal. But today it's all legal and cell phone ready. Sorry Bernie - the profit was too grate to not know about and the SEC and FBI were useful tools to get at the source code .. upside we have sectors and markopolos has no clue on how to make money and can't profit from his look at the code. .. lesson study bitcoin and profit

In this case, it was a planned crime, with profits ship to Seychelles(no aml) and then on to India. Had a fine been possible, no jail time. This type of corruption is never single sourced - the information transfer for all value types, are done where schema and data(databases in total) -- leaving US national security for sale eg "sunburst" and public data in the hands of ( car warranties stalkers ) In sum, all Amazon data has is in the hands of India criminal networks having for travel, fake ids and blackmail .. leaving American youth unqualified for jobs in their country.. its hard to compete against fake credentials and coordinated action ( the results are obvious )

I agree - it is a big compiler that has backward compatibility for java apps. The problem is code logic where at one point we had to use stringIO to read every byte - now we have fileIO to read a record. Old code worked but was too slow, Marcos and calls gave us screenIO in bytes 40by60 today 1024by720 seems small - the old code is just too slow - COBOL/IMS is in service today but 45 magabytes a second, means batch runs all night and why there's COBOL/DB2 - In sum without c++, information engineering and the dropping of recycled ideas this goes nowhere .. better is to build new faster chips, bit processing tools(ML), Such that I can say build me a light saber(NL) and there is a call to 3D printers, metal fabrication, laser delimiters, and butane assembly!

The password is invalid on its face Eg - Maximum number of days a password may be used.

Minimum number of days allowed between password changes.

Number of days warning given before a password expires.

Says that you have to use any password within 0+x days - otherwise it would have expired - the older the posting the more unlikely it would be valid. Would you risk detection with a password without mix case and consecutive numbers. Most would avoid traps or suspect a trap

I think he is saying - you have to visit other solar systems and you can't have all your "life" eggs in one basket "Earth" - To learn from others and explore the stars to be able to start over ( a resurrection system for that day will come as foretold "deep impact", "AE", 2012 )

We know today the the FBI sought to destroy bitcoin as a policy objective. The double posting was used inside the trusted network. To undermine the core function, in the end FBI agents went to jail for their own criminal actions - MT Gox was useful for media purposes

The Bill of Rights and the Civil Rights Act - must be respected by corporate interests and their employees. In the USA the powerful wishes to dictate how much advertisement I have access to and from whom. The freedom of speech and freedom of association are not for compromise from anyone. when left on their own FACEBOOK discriminates (title two) and seeks to influence elections (by unchecked data collection) to that end, it now seeks to control your programming for their foreign interests, and in the process remove your bill of rights and access to the Civil Rights Act (under the cover of their absolute truth ) any American who is loyal to the Bill of Rights should end the Tierney of unknown elites and their attempt to deny your constitutional rights once and for all.

This is a business workhouse; think web hosting, HPC scientific programming OR any Bitcoin mining related business. You have a system that pays for itself and RHEL means it will run any Linux application.

Let's look at this a bit differently - Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a payment to restore access.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a ransom payment to restore access.

Ransomware is rarely individually targeted, but rather a “shotgun” approach where the attackers (Clue I) acquire lists of emails or compromised websites and blast out ransomware.

Microsoft used a method to install software giving it superuser rights without a login. (Clue II) Most ransomware is based on this same install job. It is lightweight but identifiable.

Ransomware is a tripartite intruder and is based on what's already there on Windows (mscexe) in your compute and a substitution of legit program (outlook encrypt) Once the 3 parts are there your system is theirs and only a windows product key method "EFHST-G6ERT-VXWMT-FF8MB-MYERR" can free it - all thanks to Microsoft's product key methodology.

Oh and "backups" & PCmatic won't help and because Microsoft uses the same method to stop you from sharing software. You have seen the screen yourself => you have entered an invalid the product key!

Ransomware can be shipped with a NSA crack( EternalBlue ) forced onto the city of Baltimore (Clue III ) but the same code to create a superuser is open to the public is the end to all protection - because it hides using Microsoft's hidden directory method.

Well what to do now, pay the BTC? Yes and NO Yes buy BTC and NO this is where we create a pigeon drop for out NSA connected friends - we don't accept the face price and try to keep our BTC keys and Encrypt theirs.

For the FBI and NSA the profit from robbing Venezuela, Iran, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland has been too great for them to stop. As witnessed with Venezuelan money gone and power outage.

That said, demand that Microsoft be held liable for product defects and to make all actions visible to the end user community ( no hidden files or directories ).

Right! I don’t think it's really confirmed that Craig Wright is Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto. This claim is not new — Mr. Wright has said this for years. It could not be true. And many people think it is all a scam. He is apparently taking people to court over this issue, but the final decision on the identity of Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto seems unclear because his life was in danger. Mr Wright has nothing to fear because he only knows what he has read and can't extend the model in any direction. "BitCoin 001" has been forked many times but not by Mr. Wright

Q & A

“But how does it have value, except for everyone involved believing it has value?”

The US dollar has value because we believe it has value. We believe this because we have confidence in the US government. The currency itself is just bits of paper and metal.

Bitcoin has value among users because they value what is behind the cryptocurrency -some measure of privacy and freedom from most government controls.

“Is the value pegged in any way to dollars or any other currency of any country?”

Not pegged. The US dollar is not pegged to most currencies in the world. They float moment by moment.

“And who decided that Bitcoin miners would get rewarded for doing complex computerized calculations with more Bitcoin in their accounts; who exactly is paying the miners for their time and effort?”

Miners validate the block-chain technology by performing those calculations. This unlocks bitcoins to them. It was set up by the founder to limit the amount of bitcoin available.

The bitcoin tokens are provided to give incentive to continually validate the block-chain itself.

PROPagate Code Injection Seen in the Wild Last year, researchers wrote about a new Windows code injection technique called PROPagate. Last week, it was first seen in malware:

This technique abuses the SetWindowsSubclass function -- a process used to install or update subclass windows running on the system -- and can be used to modify the properties of windows running in the same session. This can be used to inject code and drop files while also hiding the fact it has happened, making it a useful, stealthy attack.

It's likely that the attackers have observed publically available posts on PROPagate in order to recreate the technique for their own malicious ends.
