The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and The Glitch

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x59596.htm

The Glitch was the fatal flaw in the web of lies which evolved under careerist Pop Scientists, and captured all the commanding heights of “Science”, blocking further scientific advance in order to protect lecture notes, text books and reputations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0l1diFGxIg (and qualifications) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0l1diFGxIg . Then The Royal Society linked together The Glitch, Heaviside and Catt, see below.

Careerists, or Instrumentalists, cannot accommodate The Glitch within their web. It was incompetence in earlier scientists, later incompetence in myself, in failing to seriously analyse the absurd Instrumentalist philosophy which today controls all of “science” and is fervently promoted.

Instrumentalism says it is a fact that there are no facts, only theories. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x8cktony.htm

An instrumentalist like Tony Davies has to tell us whether “The Glitch” is a theory or a fact. He refuses to do so. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/ieeetonycard.pdf

[Is it a theory or a fact that an asynchronous computer can be designed which never crashes?]

[Is it a theory or a fact that an asynchronous computer cannot be designed which never crashes?]

Suppression of “The Glitch” was going to make us stumble into the third world war. Of course, The Royal Society will not publish properly on “The Glitch”; which has only leaked into it, past the Instrumentalism which presumably controls The Royal Society, as it does the IET and IEEE.

Catt managed to publish it in a somewhat sneaking manner. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/97sglit5.htm It was then blocked for a third of a century, and then again published in a somewhat sneaking manner. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/2348661_Metastability_in_Latches_Arbiters_and_Data-convertors

‘If you have got anything new … you need not expect anything but hindrance from the old practitioner even though he sat at the feet of Faraday. Beetles could do that … . But when the new views have become fashionably current, he may find it worth his while to adopt them, though, perhaps in a somewhat sneaking manner, not unmixed with bluster, and make believe he knew all about it when he was a little boy!’ – Oliver Heaviside, 10 March 1893.

Preece had just stated in his 1893 IEE Presidential address: ‘I took the opportunity to formulate the theoretical views of electricity that I had acquired at the feet of Faraday.’

Ivor Catt was one of the early discoverers of this phenomenon, which he called The Glitch. [6]. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x84gglitch.pdf ;

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x1bn.pdf ; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x5a6.htm . To my amazement, in my conversation with Ivor Catt, he told me about his other passion. That other work, which had absorbed him for nearly 40 years, was on developing and promoting his own version of electromagnetic theory (called Catt-theory or Theory C) [7] [Note 1]. Ivor Catt sent me his book and several articles in IEEE journals and in the Wireless World magazine. They showed how this theory advanced Heaviside's theory (Theory H)
