Nice inclusion of the "Iroquois" Confederacy but I'm gonna still nitpick. "Iroquois" was a derogatory French name for "savages" aligned with the British during the so called, "French & Indian War" in the Colonies here. The Kingdom of France & the Kingdom of GB (Spain to a different degree) were fighting to divvy up North America to add to their colossal empires. Wars on two fronts bc the "Seven Years War" simultaneously was being fought across the Atlantic too!
Anyway, roughly translated "Iroquois" means, "Snake People". The REAL power of the Haudenosaunee culture (I know, a mouth full to say but not hard once you learn the cadence of their language) lies in their PROFOUND RESPECT for women. Founding Fathers conveniently overlooked that crucial part. Who still nominates and endorses their Chiefs? Women... especially the Grandmothers. Much more I could try to convey but I appreciate your willingness to run your ideas by a grumpy 70 yo dude.
The wisest Native elders also revere "twin souls", BTW. MAGA mocks "woke" but when they too loudly play Village People songs (47 doin his whitey jive "moves")at rallies, I gotta chuckle. My bad.
Hans--- you're the REAL DEAL! I gotta go outside to weed my veg garden now. It literally grounds me... and I (k)need it. My quirky writing style isn't gonna accomplish what you can with yours but hopin a few readers realize mine ain't AI essays. Keep on keepin on!
I use this tool because I have ADHD, which causes me to struggle with punctuation and makes my thoughts disorganized. When I'm writing, my brain can short-circuit, causing me to lose my train of thought—look, a bird! (It's a loon!) This tool helps me formulate my ideas. I can just let my stream of consciousness flow, and the AI helps me structure my thoughts and make them coherent. Does that make sense? Cognitive-Loon Get it? LOL.
BRILLIANTly written! DANG! If you really want to wander further into the weeds, let's try to contemplate the contribution of indigenous wisdom to the Constitution.
I haven't read this book but titles like this express a barely mentioned profound influence on the Founding Fathers.
American Indian Influence on the United States Constitution and Its Framers

Catchy UT but of course not remotely how First People sing. Hiawatha was a great Peacemaker among the the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
"Called the Iroquois Confederacy by the French, and the League of Five Nations by the English, the confederacy is properly called the Haudenosaunee Confederacy meaning People of the long house. The confederacy was founded by the prophet known as the Peacemaker with the help of Aionwatha, more commonly known as Hiawatha."
In his last interview, Carl Sagan advised Americans to “ask skeptical questions” and “to be skeptical of those in authority.” Shortly before he died, the astronomer Carl Sagan (1934-1996)
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

A fascinating tour-de-force linkage of quantum physics and good governance.
As you point out, at the quantum level everything is probabilistic, not determinative. A couple of lines from Jefferson Starship's 1970 song "Mau Mau; Amerikon" echo that reality:

Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ!
Yes, the term matriarchal can refer to a female leader, similar to how an alpha female leads a wolf pack.

That was how i was raised my fathers mother was alpha female leader of our Family pack. Respect R.I.P.

NOT sayin your essays are AI

Yup. No judgement at all. I envy your tech finesse. Makes complete sense to even my Luddite clumsiness. Rock ON!
