The ethical and aware classical players will join first to transfer their classical store value and production assets into new assets.

Elusiveness, in the form of mobility or concealment 2. Standoff Firepower, relative to the opposing force 3.

The first is the existence of a shared horizon - aesthetic, ethical, philosophical,...
Military Swarming
"Swarming occurs when the dispersed units of a network of small (and perhaps some large) forces converge on a target from multiple directions. The overall aim is sustainable pulsing—swarm networks must be able to coalesce rapidly and stealthily on a target, then dissever and redisperse, immediately ready to recombine for a new pulse."(Arquila and Ronfeldt cited in http://multitudes.samizdat.net/Network-swarm-microstructure.html) "Swarming is a concept that owes its existence not just to Howar...

Description. Edward Hall: "Monochronic time (M-time) and polychronic time (P-time) represent two variant solutions to the use of both time and space as organizing frames for activities. Space is included because the two systems (time and space) are funtionally interrelated. M-time emphasises schedules, segmentation and promptness.
