MOTTO
Epoché: means consider wrong anything given for right, take nothing as given, start from the chaos and patiently build up something completely unexpected.

DAILY NOTES
The papers received- see LENR IN CONTEXT-2 - made me enthusiastic- I am absolutely convinced the most important skills of the coming LENR leaders are systems thinking, design thinking combined- as the motto shows it too- with powerful critical thinking.
Ed Storms has received some new answers to his fundamental questions
From JoshG.
1. Do you accept production of helium as the source of energy from a fusion reaction? If not, what is the source of the measured energy?
No, I believe that fusion and other nuclear effects are actually byproducts of the process that underlies the generation of excess heat. You can read my thinking on it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/
Or if that doesn't work, here:
https://drive.google.com/file/
2. Do you accept that this helium-heat relationship has been obtained using both electrolytic and gas loading of Pd? If not, why not?
Well, if helium is produced, then it is a byproduct of the processes underlying LENR, but I do not believe that any apparent byproducts of a fusion reaction are the primary cause of excess heat.
3. Do you accept that this fusion reaction does not occur in the lattice structure, such as in vacancies or dislocations? If not, where do you propose the source of heat originates in a material?
I don't think fusion is the main cause of excess heat, and I don't see any reason to think cracks or dislocations are crucially important. AHE's may be important, but not for the reasons Storms thinks.
4. Do you accept that formation of unique nuclear active site is required to host the fusion reaction? If not, where does the reaction occur?
I believe the process that produces (most of) the excess heat in LENR is not fusion and can be produced under many circumstances and configurations, and does not require the formation of a unique NAE.
5. Do you accept that tritium is a nuclear product from the same mechanism that produces helium? If not, what mechanism produces tritium?
Yes. They are byproducts of the same process, which is not fusion. Tritium is produced by neutron capture, D + N.
6. Do you accept that LENR is produced by a universal mechanism that operates in all materials and involves all isotopes of hydrogen? If not, please identify the nature of the different mechanisms.
YES. See paper at the links for more info.

AXIL DIXIT- about LENR theory
Unless a LENR theory can explain the miracles of LENR in a fashion that fits seamlessly into the workings of the structure of the theory, then the theory is just word soup. The explanation of the miracles comes first because their explanation in the context of existing science is a prerequisite for the acceptance of LENR by the world as a valid science. Theoretical hand waving is not sufficient.
No theorist has attempted to understand the miracles of LENR let alone explain them in the context of existing science, let alone attempting the grueling task of fitting them seamlessly into his theory.
Some LENR theorists even avoid using data from experiments where these miracles are manifest because they don’t believe that they are even possible. Some theorists say that deuterium hot fusion is occurring without the production of gamma rays.
Some theorists ask where others stand on this deuterium fusion issue without explaining how gamma radiation and unstable by-products are not present. Such theories are a joke.

Tom Conover:
The QuarkX will be a tremendous surprise, for everybody. I am not sure that it will be positive to F8, but if it will, that will be a revolution that nobody expects.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
The unexpected surprise is exciting.
