Squaring the Circle...

Can it really be beyond the compass of the human mind to at least regulate this constant cycle of conflict in the Middle East? Well, maybe it is - but here's a suggestion for closure where the expenditure involved would seem to comprise mainly that of a few brain cells, a commodity we all have in plentiful supply.

Yes I appreciate the analogy. This is Ed and DB''s passion. Music and peace without politics in the way. There is much to do yet I am sure. But this is a start.

It's like conducting an orchestra made up of the entirety of humanity and finding, much to one's surprise, that they can be coordinated and will work together.

The 'Key' makes use of maths, of course, the simplest geometric progression, that of 1:2:4:8:16...and I believe there's a certain music to found in it as well.

Thank you so much for you swift reply, John. This visual is great for me. Edward is the one for music and maths which he loves. I am very hopeful about this.

Thus other methods, ones far less violent and objectionable must be brought into play and so game concludes by abandoning direct conflict for direct talks.

John Cronin 05.02.2015 09:13

The best explanation is to use a simple visual one. The conflict is like two fists hitting each other constantly, each trying to force the other out of the way.

John Cronin 05.02.2015 09:05

But the dominant feature of the 'Key' rests with its capacity to provide a common escape path, a way out of a conflict that has not had one for all of 67 years.

I see it as a new clause written into the rules of the game, one that can be exercised by all concerned as a means of final exit from this conflict - and others

Adam 05.02.2015 08:33

Yes, time is most vital now. Many lives are affected. Tell me, John? What is the most important aspect of your work as I would wish to explain this to Edward?

I just wanted to tell you I sent my brother your link. I will see him in Paris next week. He knows good people on both sides of the divide who may be interested

Bravo John. I missed the Wagner connection. And you are right. The Middle East is in terrible twilight now and desperately needs a new dawn to break the impasse

Adam 02.02.2015 18:29

My musician brother is helping Daniel Barenboim bring Wagner to the West Bank. I will tell him of this as he is looking for new leftfield ideas to promote peace

Robert Sheckley brought me here as we are trying to bring his Draconian trilogy to the big screen - but your unique take on the problem has set me thinking.
