We may never know the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, how it came to be, or who if anyone was responsible. One individual’s guess is as good as anyone else’s. We can be assured of this. Life itself has been at war with unseen enemies for millions, if not billions of years, as evidenced by living beings constantly evolving from one state to another to survive. If not for evolution, man would have been erased from the Earth ages ago. And as such, deceit may be our greatest weapon. It is unthinkable that one nation has not thought of using evolution to gain power.The Ladder Project is a fictitious novel based on imagination and current events. But one thing is clear. Covid-19 is merely a glimpse of what may be our future.

What is this book about? Please take this book as it is, a working docu ment. It started as an idea that has grown. It will never be correct but should be self-correcting. In the limit, if there is one, the book should approach a 'correct' state. It is not the detail, and the numbers, that matter, but the structures and the order. These structures are inherently linked with the many minds that have made Maple, the minds of perhaps the best mathematicians, certainly some of the most useful. Our environment is not separate from mathematics; mathematics is but one tool, of several, to help with understanding the environment. It is a harsh tool that requires numbers and symbolism; Maple handles the symbolism superbly; numbers need more consideration. We have included a substantial amount on reading and writing numbers, data, and dealing with floating point numbers. It is the 'devil in the detail' that continually comes back to us in working with Mathematics and Maple. It becomes 'raw' and defined. Many of the things we do have rational and logical bases, but we don't know what they are. Often, in following the code and 'talking' with an input line to Maple, the detailed way of performing a task becomes clear. But not without frustration; the task is invariably simple, though.

Sci-fi román trojice amerických autorů. Scénáře pro blízkou budoucnost, založené na válečných hrách při nasazení všech druhů zbraní. Bitvy odehrávající se na oběžných drahách vesmírných družic a v počítačích, řídících tyto družice; odpovědí na útok bude použití zbraní dosud uchovávaných v tajnosti. Podle autorů se nejedná o čistou science fiction, okolnosti, vedoucí k těmto scénářům, již existují. Všichni tři autoři (Michael J. Coumatos, William B. Scott, William J. Birnes) pracovali ve funkcích, v nichž měli blízko k tématice této knihy. Předmluvu napsal George Noory. 1. vydání v českém jazyce
