Between Hacking and Overunity Invention

Ordinary invention is about discovering new usage for old things, in a sense, the new usage is already inherent in the old thing, just that combination of different functional component would tend to easily mask the function of the old thing via the Cognitive Psychology process of attention. For instance, remote control is intended for control electrical appliance remotely but not built for breaking the windows in emergence. When people are using remote control, they only concern themselves with the intended function of it but seldom think of the remote control as a physical object. Thus, in a sense, context direct one’s attention to the function of things. Inventor is someone who is able to break free of this nominal web of association between objects and its function, s/he realize that association is not absolute as we all think. Car is for moving one from a place to another, but in other cases it could function as a motel.

That said about invention of ‘ordinary thing’, the invention of Overunity technology take a slightly different route. There are always two routes to invention: From Physical realm to Realm of Thought, and From Realm of thought to Realm of Physical. Translated into layperson’s language: Some inventors started their invention from a purely a theory until a prototype is made; some inventors love to try experiments and hand-on designs, then look for an explanation of how his/her invention works. Whatever their orientation, a higher level of understanding is unavoidable in Overunity invention, since they don’t just have to convince other their invention works, they also need to convince other that they understand how it works, and they are building the invention because of the novel theories they had about nature.

For a inventor working from Theoretical level to Physical level, his/her work is akin to hacking. What they both to do is to read between the lines from existing rules. In later it is about the rules which computer and Internet operated by while in former it is about the rules of Physics/Chemistry/Biology. A hacker is able to gain access to a computer/network because s/he did something that the system engineer who built the computer/network never expected. And overunity inventor is only able to harness ‘free’ energy because s/he could read between the line of the framework which our science is based. For instance, many overunity inventor believe it is possible to create Perpetual Motion Machine because there maybe some logical errors when applying the thermal-mechanical analogy to field-emitting and field-receiving object. What they did is to try to find gaps of science which either never fully explored, or may had subtle errors between the rules when they are not applied as what it is intended by the scientist. If they are able to arrive at logical contradictions or results that is at odd with the common sense through thought experiment, they gain access to an area which existing scientific framework may not understand correctly. Essentially, they play around the rules of nature that are supposed to be a scientific fact, that arrive at something scientist never thought of before. Thus the Overunity invention process is hacking the nature to fulfill our wish.
