the theory was proposed by the independent blogger Paul Hughes

 

I don't know when this was written by Hughes; the exact same theory appears in both of David Deutsch's books, The Fabric of Reality and The Beginning of Infinity.

This is my reading list for arch-anarchists that, although they no directly support arch-anarchy, are compatible with its ideas. 

  1. The Making of a Small World: a similar satirical work of fiction to Nick Bostrom's The Fable of the Tyrant-Dragon, which I have already discussed in my previous article. It also criticizes complacency with problems accepted as "natural". Here is the link: https://maxmore.substack.com/p/the-making-of-a-small-world

  2. SANS CEILING HYPOTHESIS:  a theory that states that are no upper limit to what sufficiently advanced intelligent life can do not being limited by fundamental limits set by physical law . the theory was proposed by the independent blogger Paul Hughes , Unfortunately the original article has been lost, that said Everything2 has a short article covering the theory and his page on the Lifeboat Foundation also has a direct quote from the article. https://everything2.com/title/Sans+Ceiling+Hypothesis , https://russian.lifeboat.com/ex/bios.paul.hughes

    3. the category Microdimensional mastery in the kardashev scale wiki: the Kardashev Scale wiki is a wiki inspired by the Kardashev scale (a method of measuring the level of technological advancement of a civilization, based on the total energy use of a civilization) that uses real science, theoretical science, hypothetical science and futurism, to discuss the capabilities of civilizations within the scale, also using works of fiction to exemplify the capabilities. I have already favored the Microdimensional mastery in my article " Arch-anarchy:Theory and practice" as a better alternative than the kardashev  scale, fortunately they also have articles about the Microdimensional mastery with similar speculations as I used in my article, I admit they made better speculations than mine . I especially recommend. Here is the link: https://kardashev.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Microdimensional  (While I must say I find some of their timelines for certain technologies in the more distant future a bit conservative, we can get there sooner with "Accelerating Change", see Wikipedia for more information)

    4. the arch-anarchy article of orion's arm: the orion's arm project is a multi-authored online "hard science fiction" ( science fiction characterized by concern for scientific accuracy and logic)  and they have arch-anarchy in their canon as a relatively successful philosophy in their distant future. Here is the link: https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/45f7690b9524f
