Now with the elections over I would like to say congratulations to all of the Citizens who went through the long campaign.

As we move forward we must remember that this is the foundation future Asgardians will build their laws and policies on.  This foundation will take time to build up.  There are many very intelligent people who have chosen to give part of themselves to this monumental undertaking which will not be completed in one lifetime.  Democratic government is always changing to fit the people it serves.  If we are to build a solid foundation for this changing government we must work together as a team to achieve our goals.  Those who were elected and are approved by the head of our new nation will begin a path toward those goals.  Those who were not elected or for some reason or another did not make it through to becoming a Parliament Member will be need to support the new government.  There is plenty of work to be done. We need support in all areas from translation to government staff.  Every Asgardian who is willing to work will be able to find some way to contribute even if you are just reading and correcting text.  I would like to invite everyone to find something that matches your availability and not feel pressured to give more of yourself than you can.  It should not disrupt your family or work, nor should it cause you any unnecessary stress or hardship.

Again this is not a race.  It's more like building a canal system, by taking our time and doing it well we insure future Asgardians will have all the democratic freedom they need to grow into a strong and lasting nation.

We propose to Asgardia to institute, as part of its constitution, a Universal Basic Income for active Asgardians who bring their engagement and innovative ideas to contribute to the growth of this brand new nation. Asgardians are donating everyday and Asgardia is crowdfunding resources to achieve a united nation, with nationals of asgardia scattered all over the planet.

Looking forward to see Asgardia finally recognized as one country, looking forward to receive our recognized Asgardian Passports, and looking forward to belong to this peaceful and prosperous Nation.

Finding a study that seems to redefine reality is a rarity, and a provocative article by physics professor Vitaly Vanchurin of the University of Minnesota Duluth (USA), available in prepress, revaluates exactly our reality in an extremely peculiar way by indicating that we and everything in the universe “at its most fundamental level [is] a neural network.” For decades, researchers have been trying to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics without much success. In Einstein's relativity time is relative, but absolute in quantum mechanics. Vanchurin proposes that artificial neural networks exhibit behaviors similar to both theories of physics. He explains that quantum mechanics “is a remarkably successful paradigm for modeling physical phenomena on a wide range of scales” and that “it is widely believed that at the most fundamental level the entire universe is governed by the rules of quantum mechanics and even gravity should somehow emerge from it,” the researcher states.“We're not just saying that artificial neural networks can be useful for analyzing physical systems or for discovering physical laws, we're saying that's how the world around us actually works,” it states in the study. “In this regard, it can be considered a proposal for the theory of everything, and as such it should be easy to prove it wrong."In an interview for Futurism Vanchurin explained a little more about his peculiar idea. According to the physicist when a neural network has a very large number of neurons its behavior can be described very well by equations of classical quantum mechanics, which explains how the physical world works. In the article the physicist explores the possibility that the fundamental structure of everything that exists is a microscopic neural network from which everything emerges; both quantum mechanics (which explains the behavior of very small things), and general relativity (which explains how very large things behave). In a previous article on machine learning, the researcher tried to use statistical methods to understand how neural networks behave, but eventually discovered that, in certain aspects, they are many similar to the dynamics of quantum mechanics which led him to explore the idea that the physical world may be a neural network. According to the recent article The Theory can be proved incorrect and "all that is necessary [would be] to find a physical phenomenon that [cannot] be described by neural networks"” When asking the obligatory question, whether the theory of the universe as a neural network means that we live in a simulation the physicist replied that " no, we live in a neural network, but we may never know the difference."

I think it would be extremely beneficial for us to organize a local group to ensure that our ideas and demographics are properly represented within the greater Asgardian nation.

I would also like to run for a local or potentially higher tier leadership position later on as I have a good grasp on economics and politics.
