The Tyranny of Ambiguity consists of three book-length parts:
It is a documentary account of the experiments I did on the streets of Amsterdam, which led to the development of the Procedural Analysis system.
Simon G. Sheppard
The Tyranny of Ambiguity is a narrative account of an in-depth study of Amsterdam society by an independent researcher. It is an at times amusing, at times searching adventure of discovery into human sexuality.
Amsterdam has a population of 725,000 and few of its two million visitors per year gain insight into real Amsterdam culture as it is experienced by those living in the city. The book includes perceptions into the social effects of tourism and the sex industry, amongst other things.
Applying knowledge of sex differences and evolutionary psychology, the author formalizes mating and other strategies and discovers in a series of experiments how, by the manipulation of sex, females influence society. Quoting examples in the extreme environment of Amsterdam, the form and nature of that influence is uncovered. Some contrasting accounts during visits to Britain are also documented.
As the narrative develops a series of formal propositions and theorems are presented. A number of population surveys were also undertaken to support the author’s observations. The result is a refreshingly direct and honest account detailing many basic mechanisms of human interaction.
Simon Sheppard left a job as a music recording engineer to study at university. After obtaining a degree in Mathematics, and having already by this stage written several articles about computing for the Guardian newspaper, he ran the Issue computer company. He has published two scientific papers in medical journals and a psychology paper. He is still engaged in science.
On re-reading the accounts some of the encounters seemed to me to be incredible, and many I would have had difficulty believing myself had I not actually been there. The book, which runs to five hundred pages, promises to be a good read. During editing much later, often even I didn’t know what was going to happen next!
I was the Hunter, familiar now to the street entertainers and stall-holders and observed in reflection in shop windows with conspicuous regularity. My frequent appearances would be interpreted either as profound inability or exceptional promiscuity.
