This position paper on Indigenous Protocol (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a starting place for those who want to design and create AI from an ethical position that centers Indigenous concerns. Each Indigenous community will have its own particular approach to the questions we raise in what follows. What we have written here is not a substitute for establishing and maintaining relationships of reciprocal care and support with specific Indigenous communities. Rather, this document offers a range of ideas to take into consideration when entering into conversations which prioritize Indigenous perspectives in the development of artificial intelligence. It captures multiple layers of a discussion that happened over 20 months, across 20 time zones, during two workshops, and between Indigenous people (and a few non-Indigenous folks) from diverse communities in Aotearoa, Australia, North America, and the Pacific.Indigenous ways of knowing are rooted in distinct, sovereign territories across the planet. These extremely diverse landscapes and histories have influenced different communities and their discrete cultural protocols over time. A single 'Indigenous perspective' does not exist, as epistemologies are motivated and shaped by the grounding of specific communities in particular territories. Historically, scholarly traditions that homogenize diverse Indigenous cultural practices have resulted in ontological and epistemological violence, and a flattening of the rich texture and variability of Indigenous thought. Our aim is to articulate a multiplicity of Indigenous knowledge systems and technological practices that can and should be brought to bear on the 'question of AI.'To that end, rather than being a unified statement this position paper is a collection of heterogeneous texts that range from design guidelines to scholarly essays to artworks to descriptions of technology prototypes to poetry. We feel such a somewhat multivocal and unruly format more accurately reflects the fact that this conversation is very much in an incipient stage as well as keeps the reader aware of the range of viewpoints expressed in the workshops.

Thermodynamics is the study of very complex systems and so is the foundation for all applied physical sciences. The standard theory is predicated on two assumptions: that entropy is maximum in equilibrium (the Second Law of Thermodynamics) and that fluctuations mimic average flow behavior (Onsager reciprocal relations). Both of these assumptions are shown to be invalid, which is why standard theory remains semi-empirical after 170 years.Why rely on static 19th century arguments when we now know far more about microscopic dynamics? In this treatise, the author extends quantum mechanics to macroscopic scale, building a concrete bridge from fundamental physics to the phenomena we observe. Transport equations are derived without empirical factors, implying flow is always toward a stable equilibrium steady state. This new theory is comprehensive and achieves unambiguous conclusions directly, without introducing entropy or additional postulates. This approach also reveals that entropy is not maximum in equilibrium except in ideal systems, contradicting the Second Law. Real systems evolve to a balanced state, not disorder. Standard theory is incompatible with quantum mechanics. This conclusion alters the rationale for all observations, from simple processes to evolution of the cosmos and intelligent life.Thermodynamics Without Entropy presents a complete theory including all logical steps from fundamental physics to demonstration of a variety of applications. It grounds applied science for physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers of all fields. This book is intended for use as an undergraduate and graduate textbook as well as a research reference.

The extensive use of little known electronic principles provides something like the Science of Electronics supplementing the Art of Electronics without involvement of too much theory. Whereas art can only be acquired by doing, the knowledge provided by science can be acquired from books. The ready availability of integrated circuits for practically any application reduces the art of electronics to the art of interfacing these integrated components. The practical knowledge required for that art can only be acquired by doing and not by reading. However, it takes a lot of knowledge to select the best integrated component for achieving a specific goal. Such knowledge is provided in this book. By using a holistic approach in the understanding of the various circuits and by taking ample advantage of the duality between the electrical quantities voltage and current, the understanding of the properties of electronic circuits is made easier. Besides, this approach reduces the amount of mathematics needed for a deeper understanding. Thus, this book is appropriate for scholars at the advanced undergraduate level. In particular, the important aspects of positive and negative feedback in circuits are presented in a compact way by introducing the reverse closed-loop-gain. It is quite clear that a single book cannot cover all aspects of both analog and digital electronics, the latter comprising all circuits needed for data manipulation in digital computers- which is a field in itself.

Der vorliegende Band versammelt zentrale Positionen der international gefuhrten und hoch aktuellen Debatte um Klimagerechtigkeit. Veranderungen des Weltklimas haben zu einer grundlegenden Diskussion uber Fragen der Klimagerechtigkeit in der Philosophie gefuhrt. Strittig ist nicht nur die Frage, welche Verteilungsprinzipien mit Rucksicht auf Emissionsbundel fair sind; vielmehr wird auch diskutiert, welche Prinzipien konstruktiv zu einer neuen politischen Agenda beitragen konnen und welche Kooperationsoptionen angesichts einer globalen Krise empfohlen oder sogar gefordert werden konnen. Erganzend zu der Debatte um Klimagerechtigkeit wird im ersten Teil auch erortert, welche moralischen und rechtlichen Herausforderungen durch die Kontraste zwischen Arm und Reich und angesichts sog. Klima-Fluchtlinge"e; entstehen. Im zweiten Teil des Buches wird in die Debatte um das Klima-Engineering eingefuhrt. Fachvertreter aus den Klimawissenschaften und aus der Ethik formulieren teils skeptische, teils positive Kritiken der mit dieser technologischen Zukunftsvorstellung verbundenen Erwartungen und Vorbehalte.
