The Zeroth Chapter
There is Book of Satoshi [2]. You know that? It is even for sale on Amazon. :)
''Here is a phenomenal book which contains the complete collected writings of everything Satoshi ever posted about bitcoin."
━John W. Ratcliff, Let's Talk Bitcoin, 06/22/2014
A thesaurus [3] of all the public writings by the very Blockchain creator - the pseudonimous Satoshi Nakamoto [4].
Still unexcelled by anything so far! For almost an entire decade - of our fast time, guys! - corresponding to a full millennium of the previous doubling rate mode, and to a quarter million years before that, or to 30 MYs [5] in prehuman time - as measured in Hanson units [6] or in log-scale man-years [7]!! It took about as much to decode all the human genome [8]!
''Impressive. Most impressive [9]''.
The First Book of the Crypto Bible. :)
We witness [10], literally in real time, the powerful coalescence of the Second Book. The Book of Ohad [11].
Leaving the pompous tone behind ... maybe driven initially from attempt to compensate the anxiety of the heavy official responsibility - I have the honor and pleasure to face the highly non-trivial task to do Exegesis [12] of the following three milestone documents of Ohad Asor:
A. ''The New Tau'' (Dec 30, 2017, 3:27 PM [updated Dec 30, 2017, 3:28 PM] by Ohad Asor) [13]
B. ''From Agoras to TML'' (Mar 13, 2018, 2:30 AM [updated Mar 13, 2018, 3:01 AM] by Ohad Asor) [14]
C. ''The Art of Self-Reference'' (May 27, 2018, 2:09 PM[updated May 27, 2018, 2:13 PM] by Ohad Asor) [15]
1610s, "explanatory note," from Greek exegesis "explanation, interpretation," from exegeisthai" explain, interpret," from ex "out" (see ex- ) + hegeisthai "to lead, guide," from PIE root *sag- "to track down, seek out" (see seek (v.)). Meaning "exposition (of Scripture)" is from 1823. Related: Exegetic; exegetical; exegetically.
Scary, ah? Isn't it?
This exercise is not meant to merely translate from Ohadian English into Karovian English - nothing simplifying and depleting like that. :)
It is aimed towards increasing understanding via something ... lets call it explanatory interferometry [16]. A meaning zoom-in technique.
The method chosen is to put emphasis on the main points of the three texts above by extracting them into few dozens of explanatory Chapters. Plus careful selection of tutorial materials as provided resources.
No, Ohad will not control or edit me, but the reward is that if I make it, these Exegetic articles will enter the official Tau website blog.
Wish me luck!
And because ''Tau is discussion about Tau'' - I strongly rely upon your support. Your comments. Lets talk it over, lets argue! - nothing is more meaning revealing, i.e. growing the shared understanding, than a really good conversation.
The periodics? I intend to be beaming the episodes of the Exegesis series on the Mondays. Stay tuned!
