SF: World politics and mathematicians

So, I can explain that the SFT maps hyperbolas, so it's not
complicated, as a I mentioned, and yes, the indication is that there
should be a way to get a factoring algorithm with a very high rate of
factorization from the start the SFT gives you.

And yes I'm still hedging as it's a major issue, but the important
point here is that posters are lying about the result--in very stupid
ways--while the world is basically, to my knowledge, ignoring it.

What gives?

Well, wake up, but the world is not a rational place.

Policymakers haven't impressed you before with their intelligence, have
they?

The reality is that a key theorem that for some basic mathematical
reasons should lead to practical algorithms breaking the current
Internet security can sit out indefinitely with all the evidence
visible, and policymakers not know about it, not do anything, and the
world keeps turning.

There is no super secret special organization out there tasked with
saving the world to leap in and save the day.

Super heroes are in comic books.

Before I posted on Usenet I contacted the NSA--more than once.

I tried to contact other secret service organizations and couldn't even
get an email address.

That's the real world.

But scarier in a way are the posters who keep replying to me, some of
them trying to convince you of some rather bad mathematical ideas.

And they are still at it last I checked.

How is that possible? How can there be other human beings who sit down
at a keyboard, and type up posts meant to mislead and confuse you, who
operate freely on Usenet?

Wake up to the real world.

There are people who will lie to you. Mislead you. And they will
teach you false information for whatever purposes motivate those
people.

The SFT isn't that complicated in a lot of ways as it's a fundamental
result in number theory, which shows how you connect hyperbolas.

Mathematically, it's a hyperbola connector.

In the social world, it's a factoring theorem.

The concept of surrogate factoring just comes down to connecting two
hyperbolas, which I didn't realize myself until recently.

Now then, will nothing happen with this result?

Well, something probably will happen, and then the world will react.

It won't do anything ahead of time. No super cop to save the day. And
sadly, no James Bond to force the right thing to happen.

Nope. More likely, given what I'm seeing, some disaster will have to
happen, and then the Usenet posters who argue with me will slink off,
to try and hide, and a lot of hand wringing will go on and people will
ask, how could this happen?

That's the real world, our world. And it's not a comic book.

See the SFT yourself and see that it connect hyperbolas:

under "Factoring Theorem".

If you believe in mathematics, then you know I'm correct. If you
doubt, then you don't believe in mathematics so you'll wait.

And notice, I'm looking for some help from policymakers. It just turns
out that factoring wasn't as hard as "mathematicians" claimed it was,
so now we're stuck.
