JSH: Let's recap

Years ago believing Andrew Wiles had found a proof of Fermat's Last
Theorem I began wondering if there wasn't a simpler answer out there
as what he had was so convoluted that he himself said it was
impossible to explain simply to laypeople.

To myself I said that maybe with modern problem solving techniques not
available over the centuries of searching in the past, and believing
that maybe there was a simpler answer when mathematicians for the most
part thought there was none, I might stumble across something, and so
I began.

Eventually I ended up posting on math newsgroups versus bugging
mathematicians in person or at journals which I'd done before, and
entered a hellworld of insults and taunts from people who claimed to
be mathematically adept.

Still I persevered and in December 1999 I introduced the technique I
now call non-polynomial factorization where I use a complex identity
and subtract an equation from it--just one step in concept from the
normal use of identities.

Four more years later using that breakthrough I found a short proof of
Fermat's Last Theorem and expected that I could convince serious
members of the math community so I discussed it expecting that with
time disagreement would die down as people realized I was right.

During that initial time I was arguing about my proof when I started
thinking about counting prime numbers for some reason and within a few
weeks had discovered a somewhat complex form of my prime counting
function which over the months I simplified.

It was from my prime counting function that I realized that there was
something seriously wrong with the math community as I stepped through
ways it was like no other discovery in this area and mathematicians I
contacted behaved oddly, while on newsgroups people just lied,
repeatedly denying even the most obvious differences from what was
previously known.

Persevering and hoping still I went back to my proof of Fermat's Last
Theorem and isolated out one part of the argument and expanded it into
a paper which I sent to a mathematical journal which formally peer
reviewed and published it. I thought it was over and finally my
research would be acknowledged.

But members of the sci.math newsgroup mounted an email campaign
against the paper and convinced the editors who yanked it after
publication. A few months later after one more edition the journal
itself died.

The story is like some horror movie with one constant: a peanut
gallery behaving demoniacally, with taunts and jeers.

I began to realize I was facing a monumental problem unlike any I
could have imagined, and an world that did not behave as it should, as
there were parallels in the rest of the world:

1. Enron collapsed dramatically after capturing the hopes of many
with promises that turned out to be lies. So finance was involved.

2. The Catholic Church finally was forced to acknowledge pedophilia
among its priests after years of denial. So religion was involved.

3. The US invaded Iraq under false pretenses relying on the thirst of
the American people for revenge for the 9-11 terrorist attacks and
kept up its invasion to this day despite much of the truth coming
out. So politics was involved.

The pattern was clear: powerful and entrenched people when faced with
a truth they did not like, would simply deny it until broken by it.

I began working on the factoring problem.

Now with an invention of surrogate factoring and a rapid development
unlike any other in history where first there was a concept from a
question, then there were mathematical equations, and then analysis,
to find the best practical approach and now there is implementation
closing in on a final solution, all within four years.

In contrast the congruence of squares approach with its penultimate
level reached with the number field sieve took HUNDREDS of years to
develop.

Meanwhile demonic taunts and insults continue from the math newsgroups
as the world is on the brink.

In concert with my progress the financial world is crumbling and the
US is on the brink of recession, and the taunts continue with one
clear demand: give a factorization of an RSA Challenge number.

IF the worst case scenario occurs after that demand is met, the
financial world may collapse, and the world as we know it now will be
a thing of the past, so why is this happening?

Who could put together such an extraordinary sequence of events?

So I hold yet a little while longer while I ponder these questions.

What intelligence or intelligences, could be great enough to have
created this situation? And why?

Why bother?

What does the human species matter anyway?

So I hold.

Who else is out there pulling the strings on all these puppets?

Dare you finally answer me clearly yet? Or must this sad, sick game
continue still further?
