The Catt story is highly fragmented. Try to avoid trying to find links between various themes, because I feel there are none.

Think of me as a magpie.

“In China, seeing a magpie signifies you will have good luck and happiness, while in some regions, it's considered a sacred bird. Magpies are notoriously attracted to shiny objects, having a reputation for stealing jewellery.26 Apr 2019”

The big one. It does not matter whether I am deluded or not. Look at the dysfunctional reaction of everyone when presented with “Theory D”, which may or may not be the biggest scientific advance for 200 years. Connect a battery to a lamp by two wires. The lamp lights. Nothing flows inside the wires from battery to lamp. Even the behaviour of those who also “believe” Theory D is dysfunctional. 200 years ago, someone (unnamed) got rid of Caloric. Lavoisier got rid of Phlogiston. That is probably why he lost his head, not because he was a tax gatherer. Then nothing much happened for 200 years. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/exh.htm . In the final act of the original Chris Penfold play “The Glitch”, a great big combine harvester scomes along the road in the opposite direction and slices off Catt’s head. Shades of Lavoisier!

The Glitch. This has permanently dogged my career. It trapped the TV playwright Chris Penfold, who toured the USA interviewing the real characters in the docufiction. In the end it ended up as merely a two hour play in the highly successful series “Midsomer Murders”. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118401/ . Chris was in charge of the “Midsomer Murders” series, the biggest British foreign TV earner. I got fired because of the glitch. It threatened to trigger an accidental third world war. Do a Google for “Buriden’s Ass”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buridan%27s_ass . My work develops the idea/problem further than Buriden. Try to balance a chair on two legs. See how long it takes to fall. This matter was too sophisticated for the designer of the computer in a Polaris missile submarine to face up to, and peer review (by such as Howie) prevents publication on the matter. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x5a6.htm . However, it probably did not cause the recent crash of the two Boeing aircraft. It could have.

Chris’s next play (never performed) was “EM” - the electromagnetic theory (silenced) of the Catt tribe.
