The sofa story

The sofa story

John Bjarne Grover

The story of the sofa is largely told in these parts of the article 'The Endmorgan Quartet and the hieroglyphs'. I had rented a private flat in Budapest for probably the christmas 1984 via 'Budapest Tourist'. As the owner showed me the flat, we came through the corridor and just before he put the key in the keyhole for turning it around, he said something in probably hungarian which I did not understand, but it seemed important somehow. While I was there, on christmas eve (around noon or something like that) I stood looking out the window down on the road underneath - a road that went up to the house and around it to the back side - when a car with a female driver came driving up and I stood looking down on it when another car suddenly came driving around the corner from the back side and deliberately crashed right into the front of the upcoming car. It clearly looked intended. This car just drove away and the female driver stood outside her car weeping with her face in her hands. When I was about to leave for travelling back to Norway, I felt the need for ironing my shirt but there was nowhere to do that - there was an iron but I think there was no ironing stand/rack (since I searched for a solution), the table was lacquered and could not be used, the floor and chairs could not and since there was no suitable undertextiles present in the flat I decided to use the sofa: A sofa should allow for that, I thought, and the dirt from the ironing would be marginal. However, it turned out that the sofa cover was made of a shorthaired orange plastic fur type which easily melted under the iron tool - something which I discovered only after the iron had left a 'J'-looking mark on the sofa seat. (Could be the iron even was hotter on one side?) It looked as if the sofa cover could not be easily changed either. When, though, I came to 'Budapest Tourist' to hand over the keys, I did not mention this - for some reason which I could not understand then but which I understand perhaps a little more of now. I should of course under normal circumstances have mentioned the accident, but somehow I did not but they had my identity details.

The reason why I did not mention it was probably a strange feeling that I had been 'preprogrammed' by incidents to make this J-mark in the sofa - but this absurd idea could not be articulated then.

How do I explain it? It was only after 2000 that I believed I discovered that the british state financed 'Modern Language Review' published articles which seemed to encode central mythos elements in the progress of the historic intrigue. See my ABC of politics. What I believed I discovered was that mythos elements often seemed to be preannounced in this periodical - encoded in the undertext, of course, but in advance of events. Now many years later I can look up this periodical for october 1984 - which would have been before I rented the flat in Budapest for christmas. It seems that the titles for the articles in this issue could tell the story:

1. Two Versions of the Problem of the Modern Intellectual: "Empedocles on Etna" and "Cleon". By John Coates
2. Browning's "Aristophanes' Apology" and Matthew Arnold. By Jane A. McCusker
3. Baroque or Burlesque? Aspects of French Comic Theatre in the Early Seventeenth Century. By C. E. J. Caldicott
4. George Eliot's Nightmare, Proust's Realism. By P. McKenzie
5. Revolution and Revisions in Genet's "Le Balcon". By David H. Walker
6. Heroism in an Unheroic Society: Galdós's "Lo Prohibido". By Geraldine M. Scanlon
7. Rilke's "Marien-Leben". By Elizabeth Boa
8. Art and Politics in the Correspondence between Grosz and Brecht, 1934-36. By M. Kay Flavell

The owner said some words when he turned the key for showing me the flat - I did not understand what he said but if what was said were words said over my head in july 1957, it could have had a magic effect when I should return the keys afterwards. (I may have recalled something like that in Salzburg once - a horrible night wherein yellow fluid ran from the skin of my legs and I felt that I saw for my inner vision a man - resembling John F.Kennedy in fact - who said 'this is my erection').

The car crash was clearly intended, at least from the driver who came from behind the house, with a 'revolution' around the house and a 'revision' of the other car (title 5), and could have served to imitate the alleged frontal car crash of my official mother in 1981 - when I visited her in the hospital she had a deep and clean incision across the swollen forehead skin which must have been done with a doctor's scalpel - it could not have been from the impact of the crash - wherein one could put in a fingertip. It could have meant that line along which a newborn infant's skullcap can be detached from the face due to the loose attachment of the bones necessary for the birth - along this line one can probably use a kitchen knife and lift the skull helmet off the child. It is probably this which happened with me in july 1957 - the MRT scan shows that a part of the brain is scissored off but the skull is intact - and as a potential intrigue element in 1984 (the car crash, the woman) it could have meant that I had to press an iron tool into some soft material - which came to be that hot iron tool which left a 'J'-like burnmark in the sofa. ('J-ens toll-temp-erg' = 'Jens Stoltenberg' is a name which later could have related somewhat to this story - I lived in Via Fidene in Rome for some months in 1981 - in fact around the time of that car crash - there exists a theory, however out of the air, which suggests that Jens Stoltenberg could have been in there while I slept for a brief drugged-rape, say, in order to make a career out of 'na-2', as the 2 buttocks perhaps could be called in norwegian - but this clearly is a theory that could have constructed itself later and it is probably a rather farfetched theory).

The ultimate formulation of this hot iron tool could then have been the street 'Vas Gereben' in Szolnok which intersects with the Sziget Utca wherein I bought the adobe house in 2015. Another three small streets intersect with this 'Vas Gereben': That is 'Ősz', 'Tél' and 'Rege' utcas - that is for the Österreich factor. I have long speculated if this house were planned for me since the early 1980's or even before that - the wildest speculations give it a root in the 1930's as a part of Heinrich Himmler's 'Aktion Reinhard' = the Sobibor, Treblinka and Belcez death camps which made up for nearly a third (I think it was) of the entire jewish death toll in the holocaust. This 'Aktion Reinhard' could then have been for 'Eidsvig Ragna' which is the birthname (the origin of the 'édesanya' naming phenomenon on official documents in Hungary?) of my official mother.

The rest of the christmas 1984 story can probably be read out of the titles - such as 'hard-i-sofa-nes' and 'apology' plus that 'matthew arnold' which could point to my assumed childhood trauma. No explanation at the 'key farwell' etc.

If one should take it that the story had been preprogrammed and preannounced in this periodical, it could have been these words (which I dont know, though) by the insertion of the key plus the frontal car crash which reinvoked in me the memory of this cut across the forehead - and one could have computed in advance that this would make me press the hot iron tool into the sofa - which was of a very light-melting sort. A sofa cover shall normally be able to take the heat from an iron tool.

What remains as summa summarum is that I, in spite of all these circumstances, of course should have told the tourist bureau about the incidence, however much it could be considered 'tear and wear' - for the simple reason that 'it is material property'. The material values have a specific priority which lends it a superiority in such matters - and this is something which one cannot come around.

Hence - I may have been right that it was a case of 'tear and wear', and in particular if I could have concluded that the problem had been preprogrammed, but I should have mentioned the material change to the sofa anyhow.

That seems to be the essence of the story - and that seems to be the essence of the current war in Ukraine: By the liberation in 1991 they probably annexed the Russia-owned state properties without paying for them, could be simply because they could not pay for them, and this is what led to an inavoidable feeling in the people of being persecuted by russian sentiments of ownership - for which reason persecution of russian nationals (in particular in the east) could have led to an increased popularity of the government - but, alas, eventually also to the conflicts - first in Donbass and in 2022 a fullfledged war with Russia. However, by their convoy to Kiev in the first days of the armed conflict in 2022, which stopped 15 km outside Kiev (!) and stayed for three days before they returned to Russia, it was stated very clearly that the purpose was not to take the whole country, which they could easily have done in the beginning of the war - it was on the contrary only to take over the control with the eastern regions because of the heavy persecution of the russian nationals there". However, Kiev seems not to have understood this point to the present day and still feel convinced that Russia is out for grabbing the whole country. But that could be precisely because of the unsettled and potentially russian material properties all over Ukraine which could have prompted bad conscience and therefore persecutions and hence the war.

Hence, tells my logic today, it could have been for avoiding such a war that Hungary maybe could have constructed an intelligence project (the sofa and the 'J' in it) on me in 1984. Had I reported it to the tourist bureau in early 1985, there could perhaps have been a war in Hungary these days - but when I did not, it was considered that I took it for granted that it would go on the 'tear and wear' budget (which could have been Ukraine's defence against their bad conscience of annexing the properties in 1991) and therefore I was granted the honour of carrying the burden of guilt for this sofa story - which hence made it unnecessary to fuel anti-russian sentiments.

See these comments including the 'tear and wear': If Windows XP were a name taken from my diary novel, these considerations could suggest that it could have been 'secured' with this 'tear and wear' since that could have been the codeword from Budapest 1984. Would 'Windows XP' thereby have contributed to the war in Ukraine?

However, even if such a hypothetical hungarian intelligence project could have led to an avoidance of a possible war with Russia, which could have been a good project, there are reasons to see some problems from it: In Szolnok where I have a small adobe house sincen 2015 there has been a 'garbage reformation' in 2022 which led to the problem for me that I could not have my garbage dumped if I left the town on a weekday when the 'kuka' (the garbage car) does not arrive. I have consulted the municipal services about it and they said I must just throw it in somebody else's garbage bin, which seems to be the only solution. And an action seems to have started for installing locks on the garbage bins - in order to prevent that the 'cuckoo' comes and dumps its garbage there. In addition, the municipality (or is it on a national scale?) has re-introduced the old system of returning empty bottles - now of plastic - against some money, which of course is a good thing but it means also that some people also go around in other people's garbage bins searching for empty bottles and therefore the need for locking the garbage bins has become even more urgent. In particular women who throw their sanitary towels there could feel the need for a lock. But why isnt there a common big container on the 'hulladékudvar' wherein anybody can throw their household garbage and so all these problems are solved? I asked at the 'hulladékudvar' and they said that now since 2022 all garbage must be sorted - orange peel here, tin boxes there etc - and they could not allow for such without the household garbage bags being opened and exposed and sorted under inspection. This farce must have some other strange explanation - and it could be that 1984 sofa story with repercussions for preventing anti-russian sentiments which could lead to war. (But it could be a good idea with a common container at the 'hulladékudvar' wherein e.g. I can drop my garbage if I should leave town on a monday).

The sum of the story is that Hungary under Orban's Fidész (cp. Via Fidene?) has been a successful chapter in the history of modern Hungary and steered clear of war and other problems.

Some other explanations could perhaps also be attempted:

1) The state of Hungary was perhaps not involved but it could have been a western intelligence project (cp. also 'Windows XP'?)

2) The state of Hungary was perhaps not involved in a Sziget Utca (and hence 'Vas Gereben') project on me?

3) I could have had a strange but highly subconscious relation to MLR and therefore 'felt' how the periodical suggested interpretation of the events - even if I was not aware of any such potential function of it at that time and certain did not read it at all - but other people could have read it.

4) It could also have been a project for keeping me out of Hungary: If it were a western intelligence project and I had to pay for it (materially or psychologically), it may be that I would have to realize that it could have been the hungarian state who in this way told me that I was not so welcome in Hungary (could have been a sort of soup?) and therefore had to give up the eastern aspirations. (In fact this sort of problem was also a part of the reason why I left France in 2002 - I had planned to stay but there were strong 'signals' which told that it was difficult to live there, and since I could not, in spite of several attempts, find out if it were the state of France who produced the signals or who it was, I could not take the chance on trying to settle there). I did not want to be left with such ideas and therefore I had to let it remain unsolved.

Conclusion: Given these assumptions on the nature of the story from 1984, I am very sorry for the mark I left in the sofa in the flat I rented in Budapest through Budapest Tourist in 1984. It was not done on [conscious] purpose and of course I should have mentioned this incident when I handed over the keys to the flat.

7/11-2025: If, though, these assumptions do not apply, that is, if it were not an intelligence project or similar, I should apologize for the incident. But it is not possible for me to find out of this. What remains as a fact is that I did not want to make difficulties or get into such myself.

However, if it were an intelligence project against me, then perhaps it would look the other way round.

I can add that there was a burglary in my house in Szolnok in 2019 and it seems that the OTP bank stopped sending me bank account printouts since about that time. Generali insurance did, as far as I know, not send me any money even if they got the entire police report which documented the burglary. A part of the police investigation was a list made in collaboration with me - telling the stolen items and what they cost, summing up the total cost for me. I would suppose this list was included in the report. But since I did no longer get account printouts from OTP, I could not find out if Generali had paid. Would it have been in extension from 1984? I know that I had this police report here in Vienna some time ago and I put it aside for looking closer at it but now I cannot find it again.

The very strong signals that seemed to tell that I could not hope to get a chance to live indoors in France was the electric piano that played very loudly from above in the shortterm rented flat into which I had been manouvred. I could not find out if this were intended as a signal to me - or even if there were a piano there at all.

The Monty Python data

A theory goes that Monty Python told many or most of the 'preplanned' events of my life long in advance of their taking place. If so, the following sketch called 'The show so far' could be telling of a possible pre-organized design of the sofa story - notice the 'iron tool' towards the end as it is pressed into the 'so fa[r]' material. The reader of the summary is on a flickering red- or orange-coloured background.

Monty Python 'Flying Circus' Episode 33 "Salad Days" sent on 30 November 1972:

1) Biggles Dictates a Letter
2) Climbing the North Face of the Uxbridge Road
3) Lifeboat
4) Old Lady Snoopers
5) Storage Jars
6) TV is Bad For Your Eyes (animation)
7) The Show so Far
8) Cheese Shop sketch - written by Cleese and Chapman
9) Philip Jenkinson on Cheese Westerns [I have not found this sketch on the web]
10) Salad days (untill 1:58)
11) Apology (from 1:58 onwards)
12) The News with Richard Baker
13) Seashore Interlude Film

The theme of the sofa story seems to be whether the poet has a free will to write what his subject wants or if he is only a jumping jack for administrative intrigues dictating what he is going to write - here the 'J'. More generally, the theme is perhaps whether there exists a free will for humans at all: If that does not exist, then humans of all creeds could be considered rescued to Heaven since all are innocent, but if free will does exist, then some of them may be thrown into Hell. This could be the real theme of the english-norwegian political complex.

I interpret the above sketches as follows, on background of the 1984 sofa story:

1) 'Budapest Tourist/Terrorist' - the theme of dictating the pressing of the hot iron tool into the soft material
2) The view from the window down into the street with the crash of the cars = 'came on lorry'?
3) The loafbite = the removal of a piece of my brain in 1957
4) Attention to details of proper dressing - the need for ironing the shirt collar
5) 'Stor' = 'big', hence 'big age' = puberty when the 'jar' developed under my leftside nipple → need for flattening the shirt
6) TV = 'T-ear and 'V-ear' is not a goodenough solution, hence a need for apology.
7) The SO-FA
8) Avoiding that single point (in the names of the authors) = need for apology ('Jung Røver'?)
9) 'Was Drover'?
10) 'Sam Pekinpah' = 'american president'? 'Salad days' = horror gags telling of the assumed opening of my head in 1957 - such as the opening and closing of the 'piano lid' etc
11) Apology plus conditioned withdrawal of apology
12) An explosion → flattening of stor-age jars - 'lemon curry'?
13) 'Came on sorry' (cp. 'came on lorry' under point 2).

Comments:

8) Cheese/Cleese and Shop/Chap-man - there is one single point that cannot be reached and it turns all around on the name. Should it mean that 'jump your negro over' is the reason why he puts on a cowboy hat and switches role?

9) Similarly, if 'Jenkins' = 'Weste[r]ns', then 'John Grover' = 'Wa[r]s Drover' - cp. this film. Is that 'driving the Black Sea Loop' - by way of this SOFA story?

10) The throwing of the 'tennis' (cp 'penis') ball onto the brain could be telling of masturbation onto my brain in 1957. 'Packin-pa' = 'fits yer old kennedy'?

Here is the transcript of the short sketch 7) 'The Show so Far' (as given in the video):

Transcript
0:00 - hello the uh show so far well it all
0:03 - started with the organist losing his
0:05 - clothes uh as he sat down at the
0:08 - organ and after this had happened uh and
0:11 - we had seen the titles of the show we we
0:13 - saw bigles dictating a letter to his
0:16 - secretary who thought he was Spanish and
0:18 - whom he referred to as a harlot and a
0:21 - woman of the night although she
0:23 - preferred to be called a
0:28 - corisan then we saw some people trying
0:30 - to climb a road in Oxbridge and then
0:33 - there were some cartoons and and then
0:35 - some Lifeboat men came into a a womans
0:37 - sitting room and uh after a bit the
0:39 - woman went out to buy some uh cakes on a
0:42 - a Lifeboat and
0:45 - then naval officer jumped into the
0:48 - sea uh then we saw a man telling us
0:51 - about stories JN from Bolivia and then
0:54 - there were some more cartoons and then a
0:57 - a man told us about what had happened on
0:58 - the show so far the great hammer came
1:01 - and hit him on the
1:04 - head remember
1:11 - that l

It is seen that at 0:51 "JN from Bolivia" could read backwards after the 'J' - for 'I will up more fun'. Or is it 'lobe more fun' of the 'loafbite'?

The conclusion is likely to be that it seems that probably british intelligence had planned the sofa story maybe as early as the 1960's - and one can guess that the purpose could have concerned the status of material values - hence that the ultimate purpose would have been to offer a solution for Hungary that made it possible to avoid the current ukrainian conflict - assuming that this developed from the inability to pay for the material buildings they annexed from russian ownership and hence the ukrainians started persecuting russians (mainly in the east) untill Russia had to intervene. The war in Ukraine would then have been a reminder to the european people what will happen if they do not understand things right.

Does this mean that Putin is agent for England and attacked Ukraine on order from England in order to make e.g. Ukraine and other countries along the eastern part of Europe soft and willing? (How come the swedish bus driver who caused the death of three people between 'Engelbregt'-skolan and THS metro = quasi 'Gravning' station in Stockholm was released a few hours later?) And therefore Europe supports Ukraine against a (secret) 'british intrigue' from Russia - which could mean that 'there must be a secret and paradoxical historic element present somewhere' - and that has to be something about England? (Why not come out with it - if Hitler were a briton or agent for England?) Or does it rather mean that Zelensky could have been agent for England - provoking the war by allowing for raw persecution of russian nationals and with the job of making the war as long and life-consuming as possible? (It must be remembered that Ukraine got their land from Russia very few decades ago - there was no independent Ukraine before 1991 - and that something like 95% or more of the people in the eastern regions want to be russian rather than ukrainians, which only means that Ukraine could not manage to administer those regions and therefore Russia had to take them back again in order to bring an end to the persecutions there - and the new borders since 2022 have been rather stable and unchanged throughout most of the time: It is Ukraine who continues the millitary attacks on these borders - and that seems to be Zelensky's program - one gets the impression that most ukrainians are very tired of the war and gladly would let these eastern regions go to Russia, in particular those who live there in the eastern regions, not the least for bringing an end to the war). If Putin should have been an agent for England, that would have been the role of Boris Jeltzin - to take the power from Gorbatchov in a socalled coup and then hand it over to Putin around 2000. But Gorbatchov was a friend of Putin and a photo shows them in his office and hence this explanation does not make sense. Or was it that Gorbatchov had no other choice after the coup? No, that cannot be the explanation - rather the Glasnost and Perestroika programs, which were Gorbatchov's own, could have included Putin or at least his role as integral parts. But what was the alleged coup against Gorbatchov then? It could have been outright political theatre for telling that 'it is very possible that Russia has to annul this socalled coup and return to the former policy': It is no small matter to let such a formation as the Soviet Union dissolve.

But the idea of the russian bear striking on order from England against the poor small democracies of eastern Europe could have been the essential purpose with the SOFA story from Budapest 1984. It could be precisely that which turns the roles around these days when Europe seems convinced that Russia is to blame for the war in Ukraine and that it could come to spread to the rest of the continent and therefore Europe is now preparing for war with Russia - and join forces with England. Which could mean that Hitler (if he were a briton or agent for England) now is rising in Europe again for a new theatrical farce which can come to lay Europe rather flat once again.

Is Russia to blame for the war in Ukraine? Not really if the persecution of the russian nationals in eastern Ukraine were bad enough - then they eventually had to intervene since nobody else did - although they had perhaps delayed this all too many years after the conflict started in 2014 when Stoltenberg came to power in NATO.

These are facts which should be presented and remain available in the media:

1) How much money would Ukraine have to pay for the material values they took over from russian owners (privates, state) with the independence in 1991?

2) How many russian nationals (and others) had been 'in the chemicals' in Ukraine before the war broke out in 2022?

The first of these can probably be computed by official data but the second is probably more difficult to come to agreement about.

However, the logic in these data could of course have been articulated in the 1960's and been the background of the SOFA story which would have been utterly based on the priority of material values. If, say, the current ukrainian government is now housed in buildings that belonged to russians before 1991, they should of course have paid at least rent to Russia these days - but do they? Those missiles and drones they send to them regularly (across the border) cost a lot of money but cannot count as 'rent' except perhaps in a british biblical sense of it - 'rent in twain' and things like that. And the biblical interpretation is perhaps the innermost heart of the story. 'Rent in twain' or 'torn in two' is precisely the situation in Ukraine these days. Is the expression about 'rent in twain' from King James? ('King Shames' could be that innermost heart of the story).

To put it differently: If Russia should not have intervened militarily against ukrainian persecution, the reason would have been that war is unacceptable anyhow - a pacifist stance that would have been. Could be that would be right - but then Europe cannot build up to military conflict with Russia now.

Hungary was in 1984 a part of the Soviet Union but had developed exceptionally smooth visa rules for at least norwegians - could be other european nations as well. For other Soviet republics it was difficult - you had to order a hotel in advance (by telephone or letter?), pay for the stay by transferring money to the (expensive!) hotel and get a confirmation of paid hotel - and tickets and other elements for the entire journey had to be acquired and paid in advance and included in the application for visum - all the necessary costs had to be paid before you could apply for visum to most Soviet Union republics in those days - and if you did not get the visa, the payments for tickets and hotel could be lost. But Hungary was (as far as I know) a single exception: I could go into the embassy in Oslo and ask for a visum for 2 months without any prepayments at all and got it very quickly, and with this visum I could travel from Vienna to Budapest with train and on arrival I could on the railway station line up for a 'private accomodation' normally in a room in a flat by some private people, very affordable that was also for a student from the west, or in a separate flat which cost a little more, organized by the state tourist authorities. It was this which could make it possible for me to go in that SOFA trap - otherwise it would have been impossible for me.

IBUSZ and Budapest Tourist were the two main organizers of tourist accomodation, as far as I remember. The 'IBUSZ' could be seen in the bus accident reported on TASS and Izvestia on 15 november 2025 - the 'min-ibus' that 'came on lorry' when it drove into the opposite lane. I dont know when the Budapest Tourist office could have been opened - if it were after the 1972 Monty Python sketch. If the conclusion from the SOFA story would have been that I were to blame for the material damage or losses, here in the SOFA, and by remote control from England (as evidenced in the Monty Python sketches), as it seems, there would not have been the same need for persecution of russians after the independence from the Soviet Union - since they could dump the blame on me, like Norway seems to dump the blame which they have got from England further onto me. Hence a certain association of russian and british interests could be spotted in the construction - and it could be this which is lurking under the surface these days if the unspoken idea is that Russia acted on behalf of England when they attacked Ukraine - that is, they acted by remote control from England. Well, could be, if there were british involvements in a persecution of russians in eastern Ukraine for provoking the war - but that is not the same as the idea of Putin being an agent for England. The 1984 SOFA story could then have been an offer from England to Hungary - that it was a cheap and simple arrangement which could serve to protect them against a possible attack from Russia (under the tacit assumption that Russia could come to attack only on the order or 'remote control' from England).

The sofa was orange, plastic cover, short-haired. Plastic look, short of heirs? Orange - or even 'peach' coloured? Plastic peach? Hungarian for 'fruit' is 'gyümölcs' (= 'jymöltsh') - as for 'gym' (or 'fun'?) + 'öl + 'tsch'. But this 'gyüm-öl-cs' seems to be just the theme of sketch 8) the Cheese Shop sketch. (However, norwegian 'øl' = 'beer' and german 'Öl' is 'oil'). Hence attacks on 'young peaches' (possibly replaced with 'plastic' versions) in eastern Europe are connected to my role in the 1984 sofa story - as a 'satanic offer' and demagogic suggestion for an 'alternative' to war?

Could be these details are not available in the police instructions and background data for understanding tragic attacks on young attractive females - when 'hard and hot' tools are pressed into the 'soft material'. Would it have been a 'dump-bribe' that could have made it possible to 'accept' such attacks on young females - on background of the idea that it could be to rescue the country from involvement in war? That is a dangerous logic - since it rather could lead to the opposite. Nor would it be right to think that Russia are under british control - even if England could have succeeded in being a hidden factor provoking a war in Ukraine.

Finally, an observation of some potential relevance for understanding the historic context: In my 1994-95 novel 'The Dreamer' p.81 I quote from Silvano Arieti's book 'Interpretation of schizophrenia' from 1974. The quote can be verified from Arieti, Silvano: "Interpretation of Schizophrenia", Basic Books 1974 - from the downloadable chapter called 'The cognitive transformation' (on page 93). Arieti's book was first issued in 1955 and a second and quite enlarged edition appeared in 1974. I have the example from the 1974 edition and I dont know if it is in the 1955 edition (1955 was perhaps a little early for being en vogue on the 'cognitive' and 'transformational' wave). If the example is new in the 1974 edition, one can of course speculate if he has hopped on the wave from Monty Python 1972 - by this 'lemon curry' here transformed into 'lemon vanilla' - for the spoon 'hvem er hun la Nilla?' = 'who is that [female] la Nilla?' But if that should be the case, then he has perhaps written it himself ('a very regressed schizophrenic')? 'Incoherent speech' is sometimes used about schizophrenic language - see this article under 'Incoherence (word salad)': The example mentioned there of the schizophrenic answer to the interesting question "Why do people comb their hair?" could make any serious subatomic physicist marvel while a brute psychiatrist could come to grab for the saw. I had the quote from Arieti's book published on Crosby Lodkwood Stapels, London 1974 - so that should be 'not incoherent': "The first impression we get upon reading it is that it is utter nonsense". (Pure power only?) The sample is presented for exemplifying socalled 'word-salad' - which could echo the 'Salad days' of Monty Python episode 33 (1972)? Maybe Arieti had watched TV in 1972? Or had he been contacted by some 'power' for inclusion of the example for political reasons? Arieti seems to play with the dangerous 'language of power' - here p.92 he refers to some descriptions of typical 'schizophrenic language': "...the language of the patient is impoverished to the point of being reduced to relatively few words or stereotyped expressions. As Sullivan wrote, in the stereotypy there is 'an impractical concentration of meaning in the expression' (1953a). The same stereotypies mean many things, just as the crying of a baby does. In word-salad this impoverishment has not reached the point of reducing the language to a few words, but the elements of the sentences, being replaced for others in a unique selection, make up sequences of words that a listener cannot understand or can understand only with great difficulty. It is debatable whether the patient himself understands what he is saying". Since this clearly also applies to Arieti's own language, one gets the impression that he is concerned with 'intruding into the client for hijacking his/her authority' in order to expand inside there - in a sort of psychiatric rape. The concept of 'impoverished language' could perhaps be used by such power strategies also against my 'The Endmorgan Quartet', which is not a big vocabulary: However, my book 14 contains the very essential proof that my poetic language is not under the control of Arieti's business or, say, british intelligence 1972-1984 since my book 14 proves the work-internal distributional constitution of the semantics of the words in the whole 16-volume TEQ, something which is not possible with an 'expansive' vocabulary. What could be lost by the reduction of number of words (in the vocabulary) is regained by the distributional distinctions - and those would probably escape the attention of Arieti. My book 14 proves that the inner poetic articulations in my TEQ are not under the control of administrative power but the poet nevertheless interfaces with a larger consciousness which thereby can be understood as divine without thereby being mixed up with the intelligence services or other parts of the administration. My view is that all the 16 books of TEQ constitute one such function each and that this is what constitutes the free poetic subject that can interface mystically with the divine. Could be my TEQ is why they could have wanted to install a chip on my brain, if that is what happened? It really concerns the question whether humans have a free will or not - and free will exists if the poet can interface with the divine without the intelligence services mixing in with wolf-and-granny strategies. That is another reason why TEQ can be said to be mystic poetry - and function 14 is possible only with a limited vocabulary - something which Arieti could come to fix his glance on and thereby declare as 'schizophrenic'. Such declarations are the expression of power who fear doom in Hell. Could be that was also the reason why Arieti got at least three prestigious awards in the wake of this 1974 edition? (It was not only for reasons of that word 'salad days' of 'lemon vanilla' - and I notice also the 'do I see cake' of 0:39 and the 0:51 with reverse of acting 'from Bolivia' in Monty Python sketch 7?) Could be Arieti's psychiatry shares interests with Monty Python politics as far as concerns the issue of 'free will'. Is it a lot of 'incoherent speech' weaving together pieces from power intrigues from the services? It is of course possible that a club of insiders took form around 1972 for joining this 1984 sofa program. Modern psychiatry could be a disaster to the extent that it has grown out of that 1972-84 story?

My view on the present war in Ukraine - which has been in the form of Ukraine attacking the new russian borders for a massive bloodshed through 2-3 years, and the borders have been standing there rather immovable since about april 2022 while new soldiers are being pumped in as cannon fodder - is that it is raw terror (by Ukraine - the russian takeover was done probably for stopping the terror) which serves to pay down the plagiarisms of my authorship which the west is brimming over with. I have guessed that my novel 'The Dreamer' is the world's most plagiarized work and that it has come to constitute an entire genre. My 'Der Dornenstrauch' is probably also plagiarized on a large scale. How large percentage of new works in the western bookshops are plagiarisms of my works? It can be a very high number. The reason is not so difficult: Since about the death of Lenin in 1924 the world has been cheated into accepting Adolf Hitler as the wolf in Jesus-granny's bed - and when people look at Jesus in their hearts they look at Hitler - a plagiarism - and therefore they read plagiarisms in order to get in contact with Jesus again since they feel that there is something valuable behind the the thrilling and criminal Hitler-looking surface. Such plagiarisms must be paid with either money - what the plagiarists have earned from abusing another work must be paid to the author of the original work, as all sensive legislation tells - or, as history often tragically puts up as an alternative, in the form of war, terror and epidemics for paying with suffering instead of money and that leads to a tragic 'terror-and-monkey-business' society - and eventually a crumbling stockmarket. The plagiarisms are now apparently so massive that it is possible that only a world war can pay them down (with suffering instead of money). If the world is built on swindle, the houses built on sand, it must be demolished again before the future can continue. COVID was perhaps one such alternative, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza have been other forms. And the plagiarisms serve to create new mythos for a primitive mythological society instead of sensible mysticism. Of course the plagiarisms must be solved by taking the plagiarists and by following normal rules of payment - then the wars and epidemics go down and the third millenium can be a peaceful place to be. It is possible (via IMF) to make a construction which stops the plagiarisms and pumps Hitler out of Jesus - and that is of course a much better solution than more wars, terror and epidemics. A stockmarket bubble of the 'seven magnificent' has been inflated through 5 years (or throughout the war in Ukraine) from about 1 trillion to nearly 20 trillion and this bubble could come to break one day - but a pump that pumps Hitler out of Jesus will also gradually deflate this stockmarket bubble and prevent a collapse. The bubble calls itself 'AI' but it is probably a lot of air from the plagiarisms. If the air of plagiarisms is deflated from the bubble it will go down to real-value size (such as AI, which should be real value) and then the danger of collapse is over.

22 november 2025:

As concerns this stockmarket 'bubble' and the issue of 'plagiarism' or abuse, I have discussed some potential aspects of it as far as concerns Microsoft in this file - beyond that I don't have much to say about the other six. If, in addition, the war in Ukraine has contributed to the rather massive rise in stockmarket value, and if the bloodshed of this war functions as an alternative to a stop of the plagiarisms and an alternative to an economic compensation to me, then there could also be an indirect effect there. Microsoft is now beyond 4 trillion dollars on the stockmarket - more than the entire GDP of UK - and the full bubble of the 'magnificent seven' is about the size of the GDP of EU. Would the theoretic basis (for my 'blue metre') which I wrote in those 3 months at the 'TMV centre' (plus its part II which I added a couple of years later) really be worth that much money - as, say, 4 trillion? That could well be - there could perhaps come technologies out of it which can, say, record ancient historic events or defy historic decay and things like that. As concerns 'AI' as the mechanism that drives the stockmarket up, as far as I know there is no real 'AI' up and going so far - it is mainly that the computers have become a little more advanced - and probably everything that happens in a computer is still principly preinstalled into it and still under full human control - but it is not impossible that computations beyond human control (say, a formalistic computer logic which today is classified as 'errors' in the electronic circuitry, cp. the errors of my 'yellow metre' in 'Der Dornenstrauch' and their assumed deep historic roots) could come to develop also by way of the theoretic basis I described in 1993 and part II a couple of years later (say, new logical paradoxes hiding in such electronic 'errors'). I fancy that if an electromagnetic field develops around some circuitry in a computer in such a way that it varies with the activities in neighbouring circuitries and the data that are processed, this electromagnetic field can have a feedbacking impact on the current in the circuitry which thereby outputs a '1' instead of a '0', and this counts today as an error (and much efforts have been invested into preventing such errors), but clearly there is the possible beginning of a new computer logic therein potentially alien to human rationality - and even human reality. That will be true AI, in particular if these new formalisms can come to enter into a collective ('platonic') consciousness with other computers, but I would doubt that it is developed so far. As I have referred to earlier, it is contained in the mention towards the end of page 328 plus the generalization of my historic study that the levels of grammar are transcended in 1000 year cycles, which is the blue metre, as I call it. Hence it is not impossible that even the theoretic value of my 1993 paper could hide somewhat behind such a label as this 'AI' - but I have so far not received any response to it (except for that rejection of my PhD dissertation). But the paper, that is true, was published in the series of scientific papers at the TMV centre.

The theoretic basis for this 'blue metre' is in my volume 3 pages 193-336.

But if true 'AI' is not yet developed, what is all this talk about 'implementing AI' in personal computing? It is probably simply that this 'irrational logic' which the true 'AI' will come to develop is being implemented in the form of Big Brother playing 'AI' in the form of 'irrational behaviour' of your computer - that is, quite simply, Big Brother making things difficult for you. You remember that you wrote so-and-so and stored the file here on this directory - but where is that now? "I didn't write that"? Like me answering the questionnare from the bank and it is registered wrong in the bank and then I am threatened with having the services for my account terminated. What a luck I have not a loan in that bank. That sort of 'AI' is only the childish humans playing the Big Teddy ('tear-and-wear') Bear before the bear is caught. That is of course very childish and stubborn behaviour - pretending that the computers 'think on their own' while in actual fact it is only a way of hampering your work with it. Of course nobody wants that - but why is it that they dont tell the truth? They dont understand it? Or is it that they dont want to pay for the plagiarisms? Some think perhaps that implementing 'AI' is to become more competitive - which only means that 'our bank will be more competititive if we can harass you'. If this is the 'bubble' then it is high time that somebody wakes up in time before all the PC's have got such 'farting' ('PC/fese') chips installed - such chips that interact by secret wifi with a big central computer which computes your conscience and talks jingles in your head and adjusts the 'democratic' election outcome in advance and sells more of this product and not that - all while the advanced computer constructors probably do what they can to prevent 'errors' in the computers. It is only that humans are afraid of other realities - it is that same old game over and over again of what can come to happen after death and therefore it is better to play the ostrich game of some 'services' acting as the 'divine' - so we have that under control. But that is not right - it is of course better to understand things as they are.

Humans are afraid of that new 'AI' phenomenon of computers developing a technological spirituality which enters into a collective 'platonic' consciousness with other computers and then one day humans have lost the game against the computers who start reproducing and refining themselves outside our control - and then the true 'AI' develops new realities which we cannot understand at all. It is only ridiculous to believe that we can get that under control by way of 'playing divine' and imitating 'new irrationality' by way of hidden wifi harassment.

Serious politics (if that still exists? or is that also 'AI'?) should stop that childish behaviour of those who want to install the quasi 'AI'. Is it only that people do not understand what computer errors are? Why was my PhD dissertation rejected by the state of Norway (who may have swapped roles with me since my birth and people believe they talk with me when they talk with Norway - and even my application for political asylum was rejected - and these 'harassment computers' come instead - under false 'bubble' flag pretending to be me with my PhD dissertation? Royals (cp. the english-norwegian story) are not necessarily gifted (and hence capable of solving these problems) even if the throne is inheritable.

23/11-25: What does it mean that royals were originally justified by being gifted leaders? Is it that little word 'shenu' which sounds like 'genius'? If an organ in the human body is wounded and must heal itself by cell division, how do the cells in a certain part of the organ know when they shall stop dividing - when enough is enough according to the DNA? There cannot be 'messenger cells' transported with the blood which tell them do this do that, since that would lead to excessive amounts. It is only by assuming that the DNA is a balance organ between history and eternity that one can understand it - since the cell division continues untill history and eternity are in balance according to the DNA. That is also what a talent is - a gift of balance between history and eternity. Hence it is also inheritable since the DNA is. Which, though, does not guarantee that the talent is inherited. Notice, by the way, how my fundamental theorem of logic (explored in e.g. this article or this ) resembles this assumed balance organ to a considerable extent.

My PhD dissertation (which also contained that theoretic basis for my 'blue metre') was rejected in 1998 when Gro Harlem Brundtland (norwegian PM through a number years) became chief of WHO 'instead', so to speak (she got 'the doctorate'). After my 2002 application for political asylum in France was rejected and I was squeezed out of the country possibly by some intrigue, she seems (according to some news) to have taken up residence in France for a while before moving back to Norway. The bangladeshi politician and PM through a number years Sheikh Hasina - who perhaps could be seen to resemble Gro Harlem Brundtland in some aspects of it (including political career - Hasina became PM when Brundtland stepped down in 1996 and Brundtland's father was also minister in the government through a decade) - was toppled and fled the country and now she has been sentenced in absentia to death (for having ordered the shooting of some 1400 protesting students). Is this really about the hide-and-seek games of human limitations that cheat the global public with this roleswap story (supported by TV soaps and plagiarisms?) and thereby pretends to offer 'AI' solutions by being the opposite of true 'AI'? It may be very urgent to understand what this norwegian story really is about.

Bangladesh on the map could look like 'AI' giving instructions to the humans who are reduced to a dog who cannot understand the new logic.

The students are perhaps protesting against 'Artificial Stupidity'. That may be an urgent matter.
