CYBER PRIVATEERS could be the new, effective, and highly paid army of swashbucklers. The Monroe Doctrine stated that any attack in the Americas would be considered an attack on the United States. THE MORGAN DOCTRINE (after my fictional Morgan Rapier) asserts that any foreign cyber attack on US-based computers is an act of war, and retaliation (ie, looting) may take place on the perpetrator of that attack, wherever he/she/it may be located. Good doctrine or just an interesting novel?

Stephen Wolfram's NKS holds the key to THE PERFECT VIRUS
Hats off to Stephen Wolfram and his update today (see here) on the future of A New Kind of Science (or NKS). Simply, my own experimentation on Principle #7 of the Perfect Virus (Black Box Portability) strongly suggests that clever use of cellular automata and the extrapolation of Wolfram's concept of computational equivalence are the key to my Holy Grail of Black Box Portability. While I am legally constrained by current cybercrime law, my imagination can still run wild with Einsteinian "thought experiments" that will not get me thrown into a federal prison. So thanks, Stephen. To you, to Piers Anthony whose seminal novel Macroscope gave me a vision of The Perfect Virus, and to my late friend and science fiction author Frank Herbert (Dune) who talked me into running for Congress just so I could get a taste of a future in which politicians should be recognized for the imbeciles they truly are.

Implementation suggestions for THE MORGAN DOCTRINE are most welcome. What are the "Got'chas!"? What questions would some future Cyber Privateering Czar have to answer about this in a Senate confirmation hearing?
