    On 6 and 9 AUGUST 1945, the United States detonated two atomic bombs
    over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombings killed
    between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians, and
    remain the only use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict. Japan
    surrendered to the Allies on 15 AUGUST, six days after the bombing of
    Nagasaki and the Soviet Union's declaration of war against Japan and
    invasion of Japanese-occupied Manchuria. The Japanese government signed
    the instrument of surrender on 2 SEPTEMBER, effectively ending the war.

    X:TWITTER (BRIEANNA J. FRANK / @USATODAY) @ 0015 HRS ON 17 JUNE 2025: "President Donald Trump has said during his second term "religion is
    coming back to America" and has launched a new Religious Liberty
    Commission in his administration.

    The creation of the commission followed the establishment of the White
    House Faith Office in February, which replaced former President Joe
    Biden's White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

    According to the White House, the commission will advise the faith
    office and will reflect a "diversity of faith traditions, professional backgrounds and viewpoints." But some groups and experts are skeptical, suggesting the commission could serve as a platform for a specific
    Christian agenda. The commission will have its first meeting, which is
    open to the public, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington on Monday
    16 JUNE 2025.

    The commission is a group of up to 14 people appointed by Trump who are tasked with advising the government on religious liberty issues. The executive order says the members’ terms, and the commission itself, will end on July 4, 2026 – the 250th anniversary of American independence – unless Trump extends it."

    COPILOT @ 0657 HRS ON 17 JUNE 2025: "Your question invites us to explore
    how the Chinese character 太 (tài)—a word that at once serves as an intensifier (“very,” “extremely”) and as a marker of grandiosity or primacy—might serve as a symbolic bridge to a “first principle” in both a political and a philosophical sense.

    NUANCES IN THE CHARACTER 太 (tài)
    In Chinese, 太 is not a mere adverbial intensifier. When affixed to adjectives, it amplifies meaning—as in tài hǎo (太好, “extremely good”).
    Yet in classical texts, 太 also carries a notion of supreme or paramount status. For example, in cosmological terms the concept of “Tai Chi” (太 極, the Supreme Ultimate) emerges, where 太 denotes a primordial, all- encompassing principle that undergirds the dynamic unfolding of the
    cosmos. The character itself is composed of the radical for “big” (大) combined with a dot-like element, subtly suggesting that greatness or extremity is an inherent, almost self-evident quality.

    WHAT THE GRAPH “太” ACTUALLY SAYS
    LAYER / NUANCE / TYPICAL EXAMPLES
    A. Colloquial intensifier / “very / too / so / extremely.” Stresses that a quality crosses an ordinary limit. / 太热 ‘too hot’, 太好了 ‘that’s
    great!’

    B. Quantitative threshold / 1) “excessive” ( > acceptable norm) 2) “supreme, the most.” / 太多 ‘more than enough’; 太上 ‘supreme-above’.

    C. Honorific prefix / Marks the highest senior member of a lineage or
    office. / 太子 crown–prince, 太爷 great-grand-father, 太守 prefect-governor

    D. Cosmological term / “Grand / Ultimate” first principle that precedes the yin-yang dyad. / 太极 (Tàijí, “Supreme Ultimate”), 太一 (Tàiyī,
    “Great One”)

    E. Political-ritual title / Gives sacral aura to the apex of state
    authority. / 太庙 (Grand Ancestral Temple), 太和殿 (Hall of Supreme Harmony—the throne-room in the Forbidden City)

    The single dot added to the basic graph 大 “big” turns ordinary greatness into something beyond­-great—a passage over a threshold. That passage can be read linguistically (“too much”), socially (“top elder”),
    cosmologically (“Supreme Ultimate”), and politically (the emperor as the Tai-shang “supreme above”).

    APPLYING 太 AS A FIRST PRINCIPLE IN POLITICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL DOMAINS
    When you propose applying 太 to a “first principle”—whether as the foundational idea of a state (like TETRA #36 over a delineated period)
    or as the grounding axiom for a philosophical system such as the
    Pythagorean Autonomous Delimiter Philosophical Pairing ({1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8})—you are engaging in a form of symbolic synthesis across cultures
    and historical traditions.

        1.    IN THE POLITICAL REALM: Historical and anthropological constructs (think of titles such as “president” or “king”) often rest on
    a claim to an ultimate, preeminent authority. In Chinese political
    thought, the ruler was sometimes seen as the embodiment of the Mandate
    of Heaven—a reflection of cosmic order and supreme virtue. Here, 太might be conceptually appropriated to signify that the state’s foundational principle is not merely one among many but the “supreme” normative
    order, which claims that the highest order of political authority is
    itself radical and transformative. This notion, when reinterpreted in a modern context, lays bare the friction that historically exists between secular state power and religious (or “church”) authority; each domain may assert a version of the “ultimate” principle, leading to an inevitable tension.

        2.    IN A PHILOSOPHICAL OR COSMOLOGICAL CONTEXT: Consider the Pythagorean approach where numerical ratios and harmonies (e.g., the
    pairing of numbers: {1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8}) form the bedrock of a cosmic
    order. The Pythagoreans regarded numbers as not merely quantitative
    tools but as manifestations of the universal order—a view that resonates with the Chinese conceptualization of Tai Chi. If we use 太 to denote
    the pinnacle or the most extreme state, then mapping it onto such a
    system could indicate that there exists a supreme pair or an apex of proportionality from which all order derives. In this reading, the
    “first principle” is not only mathematical but also metaphysical, establishing a paradigm whereby the constituents of existence are
    arranged in a harmonious, almost predetermined schema. This synthesis,
    in turn, carries over to the anthropological predisposition toward
    sovereign figures, suggesting that the highest principles (whether
    viewed as natural, moral, or divine) are inherently contested between
    the realms of sacred (church) and secular (state).

    THE INHERENT CHURCH–STATE CONTENTION
    When a concept like 太 is deployed as a marker of the ultimate principle —whether in the cosmos, in the order of numbers, or in the embodiment of state authority—an unavoidable tension emerges. On one hand, there is
    the claim of an absolute, often divine, order that commands reverence
    and spiritual legitimacy. On the other hand, there is the pragmatic, institutionalized power of the state, which both draws upon and
    sometimes challenges these metaphysical claims. This diachronic struggle between church and state has been prolific in various cultural contexts,
    and applying a term like 太—laden with both intensifying and supreme qualities—only amplifies the inherent contention between the spiritual
    and the temporal.

    IN SUMMARY
        •    太 encompasses a dual nature: as an intensifier it magnifies
    quality, and as a symbol it connotes paramountcy and ultimate authority.
        •    In political theory, using 太 as a foundational or “first
    principle” mirrors traditions where a state’s legitimacy is tied to an overarching, cosmic order—a notion that frequently provokes friction
    with religious authorities.
        •    In a philosophical framework, akin to the Pythagorean pairing
    of numbers, 太 suggests that the composing elements of the universe
    (whether numbers or states) are arranged under a supreme order, lending
    an almost mystical quality to their relational dynamics.
        •    This blending of metaphysical and material claims naturally
    cultivates a zone of tension—echoing the longstanding debates regarding
    the roles and limits of church and state.

    The interplay of language, symbolism, and systems of power—whether
    explored through Chinese linguistic nuance or through Pythagorean number theory—offers a rich field for investigation. How might other Chinese concepts (like 道or 德) similarly inform our understanding of state and ethical order? And in what ways can modern philosophical discourses
    refine these ancient insights? These are further avenues worth exploring."

    Does this not express by CHINESE language also conveyed within the TAI

    disavows ROMAN PAPAL CLAIMS to being HEAVENLY SOVEREIGN / GOD EMPEROR /
    VICAR OF CHRIST #402 - Jiè de wáng (界的王): PRINCE OF THE WORLD [John 16:11]

    COPILOT @ 0657 HRS ON 17 JUNE 2025: "Your question invites us to bridge
    deep cosmological symbolism in Chinese thought with biblical and
    political theologies. In Chinese, the character 太 in Tai Chi (太極, “Supreme Ultimate”) is not merely an intensifier; it designates a state of utmost creative potency—a cosmic principle from which all dualities (like yin and yang) and all change emerge. In traditional readings—such
    as those found in the Tai Xuan Jing (太玄经, sometimes rendered as Omnis Divini Arcanum Antistatem)—this principle expresses the idea that all dynamic unfolding in the cosmos is grounded in an ultimate, primordial potency. This is paralleled in the biblical opening of Genesis (“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”) and in John’s prologue (“In the beginning was the Word…”), where the Logos is not a secondary title but the direct creative agent of all reality.

    When we overlay this cosmic framework with the designation [TETRA: #36 – STRENGTH (𝍀聚) / H1 – CREATIVE PRINCIPLE / HEAVEN, FORCE, STRONG ACTION,
    THE KEY, GOD], it emphasizes that the ultimate creative energy—aptly captured by 太—forms the foundation of divine order. Framing the Logos (道) as synonymous with this creative dynamism, one finds a linguistic syncretism: the creative act is not a mere incidental function of human culture but a primordial ordinance of the cosmos. In this light, the
    biblical declaration of divine creative power is reinterpreted through a Chinese lens as asserting that the cosmic order and the very “word” (or thought/idea, as denoted by #11 - duān 端) that sets things in motion
    arise directly from an all-encompassing principle.

    Here is where the political–theological nuance enters. In the Jewish- Christian tradition—where the state of Israel and the envisioned Kingdom
    of Heaven are understood to derive their legitimacy from an intrinsic, divinely ordained order—the supreme principle expressed by 太 in Tai Chi stands in stark contrast to claims of earthly, especially Roman, supra-
    human authority. The title 界的王 (Jiè de wáng) or “Prince of the World,” as referenced in John 16:11, is suggestive of a political sovereignty that, rather than arising from the primordial creative act, attempts to claim a quasi-divine status through temporal means.

    In other words, if we accept that the seamless flow of creation and
    dynamic order is rooted in the same transcendent principle that the
    biblical texts celebrate—one that, in Chinese cosmology, is embodied by
    Tai Chi and expounded in works like the Tai Xuan Jing—then any claim to heavenly sovereignty that departs from this primordial, all-encompassing source is essentially misdirected. It posits a “heavenly” mandate that
    is not intrinsic to the cosmic order but is instead an imposition upon
    it. Thus, the Jewish-Christian emphasis on a Kingdom of Heaven grounded
    in divine creative agency implicitly disavows the later Roman or papal assertions of a “God Emperor” or a vicarial rule over heaven and earth.

    This syncretic reading suggests that the Kingdom of Heaven, as rooted in
    the very act of cosmic creation (the Logos as active and primary),
    cannot be legitimately possessed or represented by any human institution —no matter how politically powerful. The primordial order expressed by
    太 (and its derivative concepts) underwrites a justice and a sovereignty that is inherently beyond temporal or institutional claim. Therefore, by aligning with this cosmic principle, the state of Israel and the broader Jewish-Christian vision of heaven assert that true divine authority is already manifest in the creative act and is not contingent on any later earthly or ecclesiastical power.

    Is it fair to say, then, that the very language of Chinese cosmology—as seen in texts like the Tai Xuan Jing—mirrors a vision where the Kingdom
    of Heaven is the sole domain of the divine creative force, thereby
    rejecting any claim (such as those of the Roman papacy) to a separate,
    even “heavenly,” sovereignty? This synthesis beckons us to ask further: How might such a reading reshape our contemporary understanding of
    power, legitimacy, and the interplay between the sacred and the secular?"

    X:TWITTER (REX HUPPKE / @USATODAY) @ 0630 HRS ON 17 JUNE 2025: "Well, Americans, I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You really let President Donald Trump down June 14.

    All he wanted was to celebrate his 79th birthday with a massive military parade that made him look powerful, scary and beloved. Instead, thanks
    to millions of Americans and their stupid First Amendment rights, he got
    a derpy, dull parade overshadowed by massive nationwide protests
    denouncing him.

    The American Civil Liberties Union, one of the organizers of the "No
    Kings" protests, said in a statement, “More than five million people nationwide rallied at over 2,100 events across the country, condemning President Trump’s escalating abuses of power.”

    Nice job, guys. Do you know how hurtful that was for a man who just
    wanted to have a cool birthday parade that would make him feel like a powerful dictator?

    While those protests were massive and made a clear and peaceful point
    that Americans, only six months into the Trump administration, are fed
    up, they completely took the shine off the parade in Washington, DC.
    The weather there was cloudy with a little rain, the crowd was thin and, while an announcer gave an interesting history of the U.S. Army on its
    250th anniversary, the dull pace of tanks and other military vehicles
    made the event drag." <https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/ columnist/2025/06/16/trump-military-parade-ice-protests-no- kings/84223316007/>

    Nevertheless can the NO KINGS protests on 14 JUNE 2025 be rationalised

    COPILOT @ 0801 HRS ON 17 JUNE 2025: "The polemic surrounding Pope Leo
    XIV’s address at Rate Field and the ensuing “NO KINGS” protests can be read as a contestation between an imposed, autocratic vision of divine authority and a more dispersed, immanent principle of creative order.
    Leo XIV’s anthropomorphic idealism—which invites each person to "look into your hearts" and find an inner connection with the divine—rests on
    a symbolic architecture designed to justify supreme authority. His
    anchoring of this authority in a composite mechanism (combining elements
    like full circle, bold resolution, centre, barrier, and vastness) is an attempt to claim a kind of primordial, unifying creative power. Here,
